Griffin, evangelist with Warrior Ministries, is one of
the hosts of a weekly Sunday afternoon broadcast from
the studios of WGYV Radio in Greenville. Internet
capabilities allow the local broadcast to be heard all
over the world. |
Greenville is a small town and WGYV, a small radio station.
However, through the “magic” of the World Wide Web, a new
Christian broadcasting program is sending its message out to
the masses each week.
The Kingdom Building Broadcasting Network (KBBN) has taken
over the airwaves of WGYV from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. each
Sunday.
The format, which features local ministers, psalmists,
singing groups and information on community interest events,
has already drawn sponsors from as far away as Mobile,
Tennessee, Atlanta and Jacksonville, Florida, said radio
host and evangelist, Carolyn Griffin of Warrior Ministries.
“The station only has a 20- to 25-mile broadcast radius, but
the Internet means we can reach listeners all over the
world,” Griffin said.
“We've got the program up and going and we are very excited.
God is moving - and we are going with the flow.”
Griffin said KBBN has a five-fold ministry that is based on
Ephesians 4:11-12. The scripture states, “And he gave some,
apostles; and some prophets; and some, evangelists; and
some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of saints,
for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body
of Christ.”(KJV)
“All of this is encompassed in our program. It's something
different and fresh and not simply another gospel music
program,” Griffin said.
“It is definitely a work in progress. As the name implies,
we are working together to build the kingdom of God;
crossing over boundaries of race, gender and denominations
to come together.”
Griffin says the overall goal of the broadcast is to reach
out to the community at large.
“We want to lift up Jesus so all people, from every walk of
life, can be drawn to Him.”
KBBN's Sunday afternoon programming lineup as of January 28
includes: Pastor Scott Miller of St. Paul Baptist Church in
Greenville; Prophetess Lola Moore of New Beginnings
Deliverance Ministries of Monroeville; Pastor Jim Helms of
Call to Life Worship Center in Greenville; Pastor Cecelia
Adams of House of Prayer Ministries in Greenville;
Prophetess Dimple McInvale of Dimple McInvale Ministries in
Georgiana; Bishop Richard Dean of Higher Ground Ministries
of Montgomery, and Bishop Henry Frye Jr. of Kelly Temple
Holiness Church in Greenville.
Griffin and Deacon Daniel Robinson open and close the
programming lineup each week.
“As our days grow longer, we may extend our programming
time. We are just excited about this venture and the
opportunities to reach the community for Christ and beyond,”
Griffin said.
