Ramadan Radio Update and our Prayer Burden

This time of the year is very holy to our Muslim friends. They are celebrating Ramadan. As a Christian I am praying they will come to know the freedom and the purity only  Christ can give them. When I see my Muslim friends in traditional dress I am prompted to pray for them. I urge you to do the same. While watching CNN, I saw a long form commercial for QFradio FM 91.7 add. This is a local radio station in the country of Qatar. They have an excellent streaming site at http://qfradio.com/player They play very contemporary Muslim oriented music. This should be a call to all Christians to pray for our Muslim friends to have visions of Christ and form relationships with caring Christians in foreign lands and right here at home. John 14:6 tells us that Jesus says “I am the road, also the truth, also the life. No one gets to the Father apart from me. If you really knew me, you would know my father as well... “ (The Message) The complete spiritual journey for our Muslim friends will start and finish with Christ as their Lord. In this special month let us pray for our Muslim friends, make Muslim friends and pray that many Muslims come to know Jesus as the way to God.

Great Christian Radio in Houston, Texas

I think I have pointed out that I live in Houston, Texas, USA. This is a rich, deep religious part of the world. As a Christian media fan and user I benefit from a fine selection of local stations. We have a mix of network and originally programmed stations. If you live in a market lacking one of this kind of choices please use one of ours.

I like to do local band scans. Sometimes I just log the amount of radio stations I can get in one place. Its amazing whats available on just your car radio (best) or any radio. You can discover more choices every time you push the tuner button or wheel.

In big markets you can focus on a type of station. With the help of the net you can gain information about power and location. (Huge when listening to terrestrial stations) With the internet, you can also listen to stations that might be in your area, but are too weak to really hear well. I have done these for Austin Texas and Houston. Each time I discover new things about my local stations.

A practical thing about the list is the ability to use the text to link to those broadcasters and listen to some God honoring radio, though this new medium of computers.

For organizational reason I simply went across the FM band then the AM band. In most cases the “listen” button on the site will take you to audio of the station. If that was a problem, I gave you an alternative. When wanting to listen to one station in a place a website and a listen button usually solves most issues.

88.1 FM and AM 980 station is owned by Radio Aleluya.

There web site is found at http://radioaleluya.org/ The station plays Spanish Christian music and ministry. The website is not very mature yet. I found a site to stream audio http://streema.com/radios/Radio_Aleluya_KRTX This one may be a mystery for awhile. With 100,000 the max, the station's 700 watt ERP makes it very low power. The AM 980 signal is better on most days. They are also an HD3 some where on the FM dail. (103.3 KAMA, I believe)

American Family Radio on 88.3 is out of Conroe, Texas but comes in all over Houston. They are found at http://www.afa.net/Radio/ on the net.
