Radio By Grace will donate five of its signals to 247 Media Ministries, the operator of the “Worship 24/7” network.
“Worship 24/7” wil acquire 91.9 WJEP Cusseta GA and translators 90.7 K206ED La Mars IA, 91.5 K218EA Ottumwa IA, 95.5 K240DE Sioux City IA, and 89.5 K208FB Burley ID. As part of the deal, their President David Harms will work with Radio By Grace as a strategist for their fundraising.
Worship 24/7 is currently heard on their 104.9 KTDD Eatonville/Tacoma WA, 1330 KYOZ/95.7 K239CL Spokane WA, H&H Broadcasting’s 93.7 KURT Prineville/Bend OR, and Radio By Grace’s 102.3 K272EM Amarillo TX.
In an effort to maximize the ministry impact of both organizations, Radio By Grace has entered into a Letter of Intent to donate 5 radio signals to the Worship 24/7 Network based in Wilsonville, Oregon. Worship 24/7 will soon take over ownership and operations of WJEP Cusseta, GA (91.9 FM) plus translators in Le Mars, IA, Sioux City IA, Ottumwa, IA and Burley, ID. In exchange, David Harms, founder and President of Worship 24/7, will engage as a strategist in the fundraising efforts of the Radio By Grace Network.
“We are excited to be able to contribute to the structural development of Worship 24/7 and to partner with David at a strategic level for Radio By Grace,” states Doug Gehm, Director of Radio By Grace. Adds Harms, “Over a year ago a partnership with Radio By Grace brought Worship 24/7 to Amarillo, and this agreement further deepens the relationship and allows for future growth in using WJEP as the ‘feeder’ signal to any other translator expansion in the future.”
This donation is pending FCC approval with the timeframe to close expected by the end of summer.
