Interview with Pastor John Bradshaw

Reformation Prophecy

This week's Today program includes It Is Written's speaker director Pastor John Bradshaw who wrote our printed newsletter theme article on the Reformation and prophecy. We couldn't catch him by phone, so we went to the It Is Written Headquarters in Collegedale Tennessee. I chided him that if Mohammed couldn't come to the mountain. The mountain had to come to Mohammed." He said he "had never been called Mohammed, but I will take that as a compliment."

We also introduced Strong Tower Radio's new office manager on the Today show. Our past administrative assistant could not continue due to health reasons, but she is quoted as saying, "I approve."

Listen to both of these interviews on Sunday @ 5 p.m., Monday @ 10 a.m., and Wednesday @ midnight.

Quartet and Variety Hour's 10^th Anniversary Sept. 14^th 

This is a celebration of the radio and television tradition when a variety show’s format was used before a live studio audience. This variety hour started when the Mount Pleasant Seventh-day Adventist Church wanted a church event that relived the “Golden Era of Radio”. They wrote a radio drama story and booked vocal singing and instrumental talents including a quartet (that became the Strong Tower Radio Quartet)”, plus a live radio host from Strong Tower Radio. The event was so successful that this group and format booked 40 more Strong Tower Radio Variety Hours. Many have aired on the radio network!

Saturday, September 14, 6-8 p.m., the Strong Tower Radio Variety Hour group will present their 10^th Anniversary program at the Midland Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Strong Tower Radio Quartet will sing their repertoire of songs including “Turn Your Radio On (to Strong Tower Radio)”, plus other vocal and instrumental performers. There will be a 10-year recap slideshow.

Experience the 'golden era of radio'!  Live is always better and see how radio was produced in the 'old days.'  You will not want to miss this milestone one-of-a-kind program. So, join us in person for the Strong Tower Radio Variety Hour and Quartet 10th Anniversary Concert at the Midland Seventh-day Adventist Church, 2420 E Ashman Street, Midland, MI, September 14, 6-8 p.m.

This public service event is open to the public of the non-profit Christian radio network, Strong Tower Radio.

Colporteur Sermon!

Sabbath morning a Colporteur was sharing his experience. I poked my wife and said, “We have got to find out about this.” This was a month after we became Seventh-day Adventists.

Not too many church members encouraged us. Our pastor said we won’t let you starve. We didn't starve and we never received an offering. God has provided over, above, and beyond all our fondest expectations. He is always there.

A song goes like this, “Count your many blessings, name them one by one, and you will see what God has done.” God is so good, and He waits for us to ask Him for the One gift that He wants to give us more than anything else—His Holy Spirit.

How would you like to receive, guaranteed, a hundred-fold on an investment? This is what Jesus promised. That means, literally, for every $100 invested you get $10,000.  Not bad, especially when the investment is for eternity. We need persons willing to share their blessings with Strong Tower Radio while there is still opportunity for soon the harvest will be past and the opportunity may not be there.



Thank you for your gifts to STR. This is how we can keep our signals going proclaiming God’s Character to the world.

George Dronen

Past Development Director
