Our Newest Signal is LIVE! 91.9 in Southern Middlesex County, NJ
We are excited to announce that after many months of prayer and preparation, our new 91.9 signal in the Old Bridge - Sayreville - Parlin, NJ area is now LIVE! This is such a great answer to much prayer, and many meetings with engineers, planners, local and county officials and attorneys. We are grateful to God that The Bridge now reaches an additional 200,000+ potential listeners! We are working with the FCC for a further expansion of this signal, so we ask that you keep this in prayer. Please pray about helping to underwrite the costs associated with this new signal.

Leading the Way - Weekdays at 9:30am
"Greetings! I am looking forward to sharing the Truth of God's Word with you at Ocean Grove on Sunday, August 23rd. It will conclude a fruitful season of travelling ministry for me - including several opportunities to share the Truth of Christ in the Middle East this summer. No matter where I go, the truth remains that Christ is our only hope. I hope that not only will you come to Ocean Grove on the 23rd, but that you will invite a friend to join you to hear more about the hope we have in Christ and the way He is working here at home and around the world."
