The Search for the Tower Monkey Begins

Here's my debut on the "big" screen (you will need to enlarge it). My show producer Ted helped me out with this.

Antenna Installation - Day 1

We are very excited about the new antenna for WRAF. Today, the tower crew began the installation process. Here's video shot by Kevin Klump of today's events.

Praise the Lord!!! Antenna Will Be Up Soon!!

I just received this word from Bryan Race, station manager of Toccoa Falls Radio - WRAF:

We just received some very good news regarding the installation of the new WRAF broadcast antenna! The Lord has allowed things to move much more quickly than originally planned!

Marty Lee, our station's Chief Engineer, found out yesterday that the antenna is scheduled to be shipped around Monday (May 4th) and be delivered either by the end of the week or early the week after. That's about 3 weeks ahead of schedule!

Today we found out that the installation crew has agreed to help us out and begin work on the antenna ahead of schedule. As of now, they plan to begin the installation on Thursday, May 14th. Installation will take around 7 days as they tear down the old antenna and put up the new one.

This is wonderful news and couldn't have happened without the Lord's help and YOUR financial donations! Thank you!!

Continue to pray for us as we work out all the details. Pray for wisdom for everyone involved, that the antenna arrive safely on the truck, and for the safety of the installation crew.

And again...thank you!

I also want to say thank you for your prayers and your support. Don't forget, we are in the middle of Care-a-thon and still need your support for our operational budget. Check out WRAF's website for more information

Antenna Fundraiser Update

We serve a mighty God and His people have truly blessed the ministry of WRAF-FM. This past Tuesday, we approached our listener to help us out in our time of need. We needed to raise between $70,000 to $80,000 to purchase and install a new antenna. The phones were ringing off the hook throughout the day.

Not only did we hear from our listeners but we also heard from many of our ministry partners. We heard from Wayne Shepherd, who is the announcer for Dr. James McDonald and Walk in the Word. Wayne was such a blessing.

We also heard from our friends in Puerto Rico, Janet Lutrell and Steve Dendrinos. They run WBMJ-FM and The Rock Radio Nework. Plus we heard from muscial artist Steve Amerson and Mary Welchel of Today's Christian Working Woman. What a day!!

I happy to report that we heard from over 475 of our listeners and over $65,000 has been committed to our new antenna. We have a mailing going out today that will reach those who are in the fringe areas of the WRAF that are unable to receive a clear signal.

Continue to pray for the management of WRAF has we work toward the replacement of the antenna.

Fund Raiser for New Antenna

This Tuesday, March the 10th, WRAF will conduct a special on-air fund-raiser to help with the costs of purchasing and installing a new antenna. We will be setting aside all programming from 6am until 12 midnight. Please be in prayer for this event and how you might be able to take part.
