"Turn on WBCL and let the music of heaven rain down over you" Patrick I am a minister who has served God and this great country as a soldier. God has blessed me with a great wife of 28 years and two adult children who will be with us in heaven. I served 6 years in the US Army, then 15 plus years in the automotive manufacturing industries, 10 years in youth ministry full time, and now I work bi-vocationally as a construction laborer and senior minister at Fayette Street Church of Christ in Hillsdale, MI. God is good all the time! While working in the automotive industry in Auburn, IN back in 1992, I would come out of a back breaking and tiresome day of work, just spent! I remember sitting in my broken down 1968 Chevy pickup, praying it would start and turning on the radio to this soft voice who would introduce calm music. I just sat there crying for what seemed like hours until the program ended (Night Sounds, a 30-minute show, by Bill Pierce). This went on for a year or so before they moved me to another shift. This moment of release brought to me by WBCL changed my marriage of 3 years from a marriage of selfishness, to a house built on love and understanding. So, for anyone out there who is having a terrible day, week, or life. I would say, go to your car, pray that it starts, turn on the radio to WBCL and let the music of heaven rain down over you, melting away years of pain and regret. Thank You WBCL and all who take the sacrifice of staying tuned seriously. God is good! Jeff S. I drive a school bus for Mississinewa Community Schools and I always play WBCL on the school bus radio. I am trying to get the kids to hear the mini sermons I hear in every song. Today, driving for summer school, a couple of the girls asked me to turn the radio UP. I had no idea they wanted to sing along. They sang 'What A Beautiful Name It Is, The Name Of Jesus" by Hillsong. It was beautiful. After the song ended, the entire bus was talking about God. It was the best bus trip I ever had! Thank YOU WBCL for all you do to lift the name of Jesus... everyday... all the time! GOD IS GOOD!God is faithful Barb Back in the early 90's my first marriage was dissolving - I found out that my husband at the time was involved in an affair - and had been involved in others before that.WBCL became my lifeline through almost 3 years of heartache, hope for reconciliation, and prayer for healing of my marriage!! I listened whenever, and wherever, I could to anything and everything the station played. I actually won concert tickets a couple of times when I was up cleaning my house in the middle of the night (not many others callers to compete with at 1 or 2 a.m.).Well, healing did not come in the way I had hoped, and my first husband filed for divorce. Again, WBCL was there as a constant in my changing world. Now I was spending even more time alone since not only was my spouse absent, but my 3 children were gone part of the time as well. Two of them even decided to move in with their dad. WBCL's programming helped me to keep perspective, often reminding me that I was not alone in life's struggles.Here I am many years later, remarried and living in south Texas since 2004 - still listening to WBCL online. I haven't found any other Christian station that is as uplifting and that conveys such loving warmth in every voice.And you know what those awesome kids who still live "up north" listen to these days? WBCL, of course!!I am so grateful for your part in my life and now in the lives of my adult children.God is faithful - and WBCL has been faithful to God!
