Who We Are
CHRIST-cENTERED rADIO sTATION
Shamar Radio – WPGR is a Christ-centered Digital Radio Station bringing you, United States and beyond joyful music, uplifting messages, and Inspiring Ministry.
Shamar Radio – WPGR is a Christ-centered Radio Station bringing joyful music, an uplifting message, and Inspiring Ministry to United States of America and beyond. Founded by Apostle J. Twene in December 2007 when United States was in an extended financial down-turn that came to be known as the GREAT RECESSION. It was the worse financial crisis in the United States of America since the GREAT DEPRESSION.
During this season, Apostle J. Twene was unemployed and HOMELESS. The ONLY thing that brought him fulfillment was his visit to the Franklin Township Library in Somerset, New Jersey and Alexander library at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Apostle J. Twene Studied IT (Internet Technology) and became a Web Developer, his passion. In the midst of all these, Apostle J. Twene developed an interest in Radio Broadcast and thereby founded Shamar Radio.
Apostle J. Twene has since studied Radio and Television Broadcast, Audio/video Recording, Editing and Mastering Engineering due to his Electrical and electronic engineering and his strong Physics background.
