WLCQ Station Manager/Program Director Nate Thomas told HisAir, “Jazmynne has been an answer to prayer. We have been praying for someone to fill this new role and in Gods timing, Jazmynne showed up. She is young and after pursuing television and film, she discovers that God was calling her to be involved in Christian radio. She is well grounded, motivated and has tons of talent and potential. We are thrilled to welcome her to The Q 99.7 Family.”
Radio Amistad, the Spanish ministry of the KHCB/Houston Network, is excited to announce its expansion into Argentina through overnight broadcasting on three stations across the country. This milestone marks a significant step in fulfilling the mission of reaching Spanish-speaking audiences with the message of hope found in Jesus Christ.
The new overnight programming in Argentina allows listeners to experience the same encouraging music, Bible teaching, and quality programming that Radio Amistad provides across its U.S. network and through the Radio Amistad app. As the ministry continues to seek opportunities to share the Gospel, this expansion opens the door for future growth in local programming and partnerships with churches and ministries in Argentina.
“We’re blessed by the opportunity to expand the outreach of Radio Amistad,” said Scott Krus, President of the KHCB Network. “We trust that God will use the programming to help listeners draw closer to Jesus Christ.”
Radio Amistad has been sharing hope for 34 years by bringing Christ-centered content to Spanish speakers throughout the Spanish speaking world. The Argentina expansion is just the beginning of the ministry’s vision for broader outreach in Latin America.
