In a first for the partnership, Moody Church Media is teaming with TWR to take Dr. Erwin Lutzer’s “Running to Win” program to a big new audience. TWR already broadcasts the original English version of the radio program in at least 16 countries, but now Running to Win will be translated into Spanish and introduced to Latin America.  Drawing on the program’s running theme, Lutzer said, “We are expanding into Spanish for one simple reason: We want our Spanish-speaking friends to know Christ and join us as we learn to serve him faithfully, all the way to the finish line.”

WMUV/Jacksonville (The Promise) is now airing Keep The Faith in evenings 7-mid.

Also at WMUV Theresa Ross is now in afternoons and PD Gary Walsh is teamed with Paulette on the morning show. You may remember them from the old “Promise” about 10 years ago.
