The Bridge Christian Radio is hosting its 19th Annual Bridgefest on Friday, June 28, and Saturday, June 29, in historic Ocean Grove, NJ.
The annual two-day festival typically draws families from The Bridge Christian Radio’s reach throughout the tri-state area of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. At its inception, Bridgefest was designed to connect radio listeners with their favorite Bridge Radio teachers and to enjoy the unity and fellowship of many like-minded believers. In addition to an amazing lineup of teachers, family fun, baptisms, and surf and soccer clinics, GMA Dove Award winner Danny Gokey will put on this year’s Friday night concert. Jack Hibbs, senior pastor of CC Chino Hills and president of Real Life ministries, will be sharing the Gospel message with nearly 5,000 people who will fill the legendary Great Auditorium on Friday night.
Thousands of people come through each year to be encouraged and strengthened by Bridge Radio teachers such as Lloyd Pulley (CC Old Bridge, NJ), John Randall (CC South OC, CA), Bobby Hargraves (CC of the Hudson Valley, NY), Johnny Zacchio (CC of Grace and Truth, NY), and many more. Bridge Bible Talk, the Bridge Christian Radio’s first live call-in program, will air live from Ocean Grove on Thursday and Friday.
Keep Bridgefest in prayer for the weather, presentation of the Gospel message, for the hearts of the people to be receptive, for the over 300 people who will be baptized at the conclusion on Saturday, for travel mercies for all, as well as strength and wisdom for the teachers who will be sharing.
