Keeping Me Strong Forever

Walter

As I've become a wheelchair bound shut-in, I often don't see anyone for weeks at a time. WBCL IS MY REFUGE FROM THE WORLDLY. I listen 24/7. It seems that when I have need of instruction in the Word, there you are. When I need encouragement, something comes on just when I need it the most. You are a lifeline in a world that is dying. On Sunday mornings, the praise and worship music helps me find a place to honor Him at home as I can no longer get out to a worship service. I consider you all friends, even though I haven`t met any of you. I don't know what I would do if you weren`t there. I love you guys in Christ!

Online yet connected

Lisa

I work downtown in Indianapolis and local Christian radio stations are blocked so I tuned into this one about two years ago. I just started listening again two weeks ago. During the days that just feel so stressed and down, I listen to WBCL and feel so encouraged. There are those days when that perfect song comes on at just the right moment and it brightens my day. Thank you WBCL for always being there for me. 

WBCL has stayed with me

Kirk

I live a thousand miles away, but I tune in to WBCL. I have been married for over 31 years after meeting my wife at Purdue Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. I lived in Berne and Decatur, Indiana for a large portion of my life but I currently live in Scottsdale, Arizona. I have listened to WBCL since I was 15. I found out about WBCL because my best friend's neighbor used to play WBCL in the dairy barn for his cows because they gave more milk when WBCL was on. Now I tune in on the internet.

As a teenager growing up in Berne, I tuned in to WBCL each night before bed and listened to "Chuck Swindoll," "Focus on the Family," and "Nightsounds." It was such a powerful way to go to sleep. There was so much I learned spiritually, mentally, and emotionally from those three shows. It has stayed with me even now as I live in Arizona over 35 years later.
 
WBCL was a blessing to me then. WBCL through the internet is still a blessing to me today.
