Then came a question from God that changed everything: “Are you ready?”

It was clear that God was not done. There was a city full of people that needed to be reached with the gospel. 

How was he going to do it? Through the radio signal…99.1 FM. 

But getting there didn’t come without challenges... It didn’t come without heartbreak… And public backlash from every direction…

It seemed hopeless. But God parted the waters in a way NO ONE saw coming.

The station people loved went silent.

No signal. No funding. No clear path forward.
