April 26, 2018 | Columbia, Md. | North American Division

New radio station WYAW-LP (“Where You Are Welcome”) 93.5 FM in Pooler/Savannah, Georgia, began broadcasting LifeTalk Radio programming on Feb. 14, 2018. WYAW joins the LifeTalk network of 130+ affiliate stations across the North American Division that are connecting with their communities, offering hope and wholeness through Jesus Christ.

“We are already airing local spots for our church,” reports Joe Wamack, pastor of the Savannah First Seventh-day Adventist Church in Pooler.

“Our church members are loving it!” said Carroll Baker, station manager. “From the studio located in church building, our new station covers the densely populated area surrounding the church.”

“I am so excited about this station!” exclaimed Jan, a new listener. Jan was driving through Pooler when she “happened” to notice the Seventh-day Adventist Church sign announcing their new radio station. She tuned her car radio to 93.5 FM and caught part of the program before she lost the signal.

“How can I hear more?” she asked. She learned she could get the free LifeTalk Radio mobile app for her phone and immediately found the podcast of the show she wanted to hear again. She also learned she could listen to LifeTalk online; or listen via ROKU, satellite, or Amazon Echo.

“This radio ministry is an incredible opportunity to reach out into the community! It is so far-reaching, and it’s 24/7. It is a greater bang for our [evangelistic] buck,” commented Frank Bailey, manager of new LifeTalk Radio affiliate WSDX in Brandon (Tampa area), Florida. “We do wish there were funds available to help new stations get started.”

LifeTalk is the radio outlet for programming from Voice of Prophecy, Breath of Life, It Is Written, Jesus 101, Faith for Today, and all of the North American Division Adventist ministries.

John Bradshaw, speaker/director for It Is Written said, “LifeTalk Radio is our partner in ministry. Together, we are connecting people with Christ. LifeTalk can help you to reach your community for Christ.”

Feedback

Steve Dickman, ASI president and station manager of WDNX in Savannah, Tennessee, says “LifeTalk does an amazing job of providing a stable, Christ-centered and balanced stream of programming that helps [the church] connect with the local community. We have been using the LifeTalk programming since 1998.”

“LifeTalk Radio seems like one of those hidden treasures of our church. [I hope churches] understand what they have access to! I hope churches highlight LifeTalk Radio on their websites,” said Ron Vozar, pastor of the Fredericktown Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ohio.

“LifeTalk Radio is the premier Adventist supplier of radio content. What a blessing it is to hear the inspiring stories of how LifeTalk impacts listeners’ lives,” commented Ken Denslow, assistant to the president, NAD of SDA.
