Lawrence and Barbara Trumbower
Radio station WCGB on the south coast of Puerto Rico and The ROCK Radio Network
Lawrence and Barbara have served under Grace Ministries International at WCGB for over 28 years. Both are graduates of Grace Bible College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Lawrence studied broadcast communications at Milwaukee Institute of Technology, then God led him through a series of experiences which confirmed his role in the design and establishment of WCGB in 1967. From the station's inception GMI purposed this ministry to be evangelistic in focus and seeker-friendly in its approach. Its unique programming format was at once Christian and community-oriented, broadcasting sports, news, music, and many live programs, with short gospel messages inserted in the non-religious blocks.
Barbara arrived in 1971 to work in the financial department of the station. They were married on the island in 1972, and their daughter Tirzah was born there. Six years later they returned stateside to care for Lawrence's ailing mother until her passing. Then in November of 1991 all three returned to Puerto Rico, working together in WCGB until Tirzah left for college and eventual service in the Middle East. Presently she and husband David and their two small children serve the Lord in Central Asia.
In November of 2004 GMI passed the radio baton to Calvary Evangelistic Mission, owner of two other Christian stations in Puerto Rico. Since that time Lawrence has been secunded to CEM (the Rock Radio Network), where his main responsibilities are to keep all three stations FCC compliant and to handle engineering for WCGB, WBMJ and WIVV. In these capacities he divides his time between Juana Diaz, San Juan, and Vieques island, respectively.
Barbara is working on various writings she has developed over the years with a view to incorporating them into GMI's Library of Materials which can be used on the various fields. She also works with Junior Church, initiates most of their correspondence and mission reports, and tries to stay free enough to visit and pray with people.
The current focus of the Rock Radio Network is Bible teaching. Its strong discipleship format is 25% Spanish and 75% English, serving not only most of the island of Puerto Rico, but the predominantly English-speaking leeward islands as well.
The Trumbowers' continued involvement in Christian radio is one of GMI's many ways of redeeming the time in a powerful way!
