Today is not only the start of Spring but it is also the 22nd Anniversary of the start of Fortress 1230am WKBO. This day in 2000 we started leasing WKBO with 24/7 Christian music and programming. 9 years later God moved miraculously to have One Heart Ministries buy the station and now 22 years into it we not only continue to cover the Harrisburg area with Praise and Worship but are continuing to see the growth of our listenership around the world through the live stream at wkbo.net. God is so good that through financial hardship and sickness He still miraculously provides for us to continue to be a blessing to thousands on a daily basis. Looking forward to see what He does in our 23rd year! For those who have been faithful supporters, we pray blessings upon you for your faithfulness and generosity ❤

I know it's hard to sit through a 30 minute video but if at all possible go to my Morning Show page at wkbo.net and watch the video I posted featuring Jonathan Cahn, author of the Harbinger books. The info in this message he gave will blow you away. Just a sample of what is in the Harbinger and Harbinger II books. And after watching the video, if you haven't read those 2 books you can go to the Personal Picks from Pete and Tess page at wkbo.net and buy them through those links. One Heart Ministries will get a donation from Amazon from your purchase.
