News and Updates from the Ministry
The New WKDN - Now at 950 AM ! WFME Moves
to 106.3 FM
Family Radio can now be heard at 106.3
FM from Mt. Kisco, New York! It’s main, or
local, coverage is a radius of about 30 miles
from the Mt. Kisco area, reaching well into
spots such as White Plains and New City,
NY, with fairly good distant coverage — as
far as Danbury and Stamford, CT, to the
East; and Yonkers, NY, to the south. FM is
not affected to any high degree by
weather nor atmospherics; and so, if you
are able to tune us in at 106.3, the reception should be very consistent.
* Stations with extended service via translators.
The Joy of Sharing
Listener Letters
Coram, NY - WFRS - Dear Family Radio - Your station gives
me great encouragement - it is refreshing! It is clear and crisp.
The Gospel is trumpeted and I enjoy it. I get a good signal and
am very thankful. You will be in my prayers. My gift will keep
coming. And I will send what I am sending, until, maybe down
the road I can send more.
Bar
to, P
A - WKDN AM - Thank you so much for the new
arto,
PA
station, 950 AM in Philadelphia. I can’t get it 24 hours, but,
from about 7:30 a.m., till about 4:30 p.m., I have Family Radio
back and I am thankful for what I have. I don’t know another
station where I hear music that really ministers to me. I cried
when I got it back - tears of joy this time!
Thank you so much for Family Radio - I do
praise God!
Jamesto
wn, CA - KEFR & KEAR FM - Mr. Camping, I’m so
amestown,
happy to hear you again on the radio, encouraging and
comforting us through the Word of God. I praise God for
answering our prayers that He is able to give you again the
ability to teach us, and to bring the Gospel and serve Him. I’m
59-years-old now, a prisoner, locked in my cell, but always alone
with God. I never had a chance to spend so much time with
God - meditating on His Word and praying alone in my
“closet.” What great opportunities! Another thing - every day
that I wake up, I’m sitting in my mission field. I know its not
always easy. Once in awhile I have some encounters with our
enemies. They scoff and mock me, and disrespect me. But this
is how I learned from God to be patient and a peacemaker,
trusting in Him more, and more.

able to hear your station once again in the
Philadelphia area. When my friend told me
that we could hear you again on 950 AM, I
just cried. Thank you for your efforts to get a
station back on the radio in our area. Praise
God for opening the doors to make this
possible. Family Radio is back on our area!
Hallelujah! Enclosed is a small donation to

OpenLine is a report on the latest news and updates from the
ministry of Family Radio, to help
keep you informed of the many
ways that our Lord continues
to use this ministry to His honor
and glory.
The New WKDN at 950 AM daytime transmitter site is located in Philadelphia, PA.
W
e rejoice that Family Radio can again
be heard in Philadelphia and Camden areas on a new AM signal at 950 AM! The
new WKDN-AM is a very powerful signal
that reaches all the way from areas south
of Dover, Delaware; to the north, through
Lancaster, Reading and Allentown, PA; and
east into New Jersey. The best NJ coverage is in the southern and central portions
of the state, especially to the west; however, there is some distant coverage into
limited areas of northern NJ and in southern Long Island, as well.
Like most AM stations, the nighttime coverage pattern is different from the daytime coverage, to eliminate interference
with other stations due to atmospheric
conditions; and so, reception to many areas, except in Philadelphia and points east,
will be more limited in the nighttime.
Also, because AM is susceptible to weather
and atmospheric conditions, anyone who
formerly was able to listen to either WKDN
or WFME has at least a possibility of reception, at times, on 950 AM, during some
parts of the day and many will have solid
reception.
In addition to this new signal on 106.3 FM,
we are working diligently to secure a replacement AM station powerful enough
to cover the loss, or, make up for the loss
of WFME 94.7, with Family Radio again
being heard in the Metropolitan New York
area. We also realize that the loss of this
once-powerful beacon has hit our listeners living in, and around, New York / Northern New Jersey areas, very hard; but we
trust that God knows this, and will provide
— in His time. In the meanwhile, please
keep praying for us at Family Radio. We
will keep you informed as we get more
definitive news.
Please see page 3 for map of coverage.
The WKDN AM station has two locations that it
broadcasts from - a daytime transmitting
location, as well as, a nighttime facility. The
signal coverage will vary from day to night.
The coverage maps show the approximate
areas that are reached with both it’s daytime
signal (top), and it’s nighttime signal (below).
Let your friends and former listeners
know of God’s faithfulness, and encourage them to tune in!

 The greatest gift of all,
which is also the focus of the
Lord’s Prayer, is the gift of
salvation...

God: Our Father
A study by Harold Camping
The Lord’s prayer is given to us in the
Word of God in two passages, Luke
11:2-4, and Matthew 6:9-13:
After this manner therefore pray ye:
en,
Our F
ather which ar
Father
artt in heav
heaven,
Hallo
wed be thy name. Thy
allow
kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in
heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we
forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the
po
wer
er
pow
er,, and the glor
gloryy, for ev
ever
er..
Amen.
When Jesus prayed, He addressed God
as His Father. Amazingly, God
commands us to also address God as
“Our Father.” We do not fully
understand such condescension on
God’s part, but we do know that the
Bible speaks of the Father as the giver
of every good and perfect gift. We read
in James 1:17:
Every good gift and every perfect gift
is from above, and cometh down
fr
om the F
ather of
from
Father
lights, with whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of
turning.
The greatest gift of all, which is also
the focus of the Lord’s Prayer, is the
gift of salvation:
For G
od so lo
God
lovved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
The Old Testament also has references
to God as our Father. For example,
Psalm 68:5, “A father of the
fatherless, and a judge of the
widows, is God in his holy
habitation.”
In the Bible, the fatherless is a
reference to the spiritually destitute,
the unsaved people. We are of God our
Father through creation, but our sins
have estranged us from God. Spiritually
we are orphans, but God comes to us
as a Father to the fatherless. God may
be a Father to those who acknowledge
their orphaned condition, their
spiritual
bankruptcy.
The Lord Jesus is spoken of as the
everlasting Father in Isaiah 9:6:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a
son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his
name shall be called Wonder
ful,
onderful,
Counsellor
od, The
Counsellor,, The mighty G
God,
ev
erlasting F
ather
rince of
everlasting
Father
ather,, The P
Prince
Peace.
We read in Psalm 103:13:
Like as a father pitieth his children,
so the LORD pitieth them that fear
him.
God cares for those who love Him.
See also Isaiah 63:16, Isaiah 64:8,
Romans 9:21, Romans 8:15-17, John
6:44, Luke 15:18.

Prayer Requests
...Pray for us, that the Word of the
Lord may have free course, and be
glorified, even as it is with you...
2 Thessalonians 3:1
Praise God for 54 years of ministry! It was
back on February 4, 1959, when the first
radio signals of Family Radio began to be
sent out over the airwaves over KEAR FM,
with its studios located in downtown San
Francisco. Ever since then, Family Radio
has always been a partnership between
God’s people and the Lord, with Him as its
head. Through this beautiful joint venture
— in all that has, and would, be done —
we exalt and magnify the Lord for his
finished work of salvation through Christ
our Lord. And all the glory and credit is
God’s alone.
God has blessed and used Family Radio
mightily throughout these 54 years of
ministry. Pray that our Lord would continue
to guide our paths as we seek to be faithful
in presenting the Gospel.
Pray for the changes that have occurred
to our station WFME. Pray that our Lord
would guide us to re-establish a strong
presence in the New York / Northern
New Jersey areas, as we seek God’s
leading with a possible replacement AM
station, powerful enough to cover the
loss of coverage to the area.
We rejoice and praise God for His
restoration of WKDN. Family Radio can
again be heard in the Philadelphia /
Camden, NJ, areas on a new AM signal at
950 AM.
Your prayers would be appreciated for
our staff as we enter the winter months
— particularly for those technicians who
are called throughout the day or night to
handle urgent situations, often created by
severe weather, to keep the ministry on
the air. Pray for our Lord’s protection and
safety for our staff, and that any problems
that may occur would be resolved quickly
– to God’s glory!
PRAY for the great numbers of people who
are isolated in their homes due to
advanced age, illness, limited finances, or
any other limiting condition, whose
primary source of fellowship is through the
radio. Praise be to God that Family Radio
can bring blessing to these listeners, any
hour of the day or night.
Pray for the ministry in general, that all
those who teach, announce, sing, or
write, would remain faithful to the
Scriptures – that the true Gospel would
be proclaimed — and that God would
have all the honor and glory!
