He Makes All Things New!

As we step into a new year, God's promise in Revelation 21:5 rings with eternal hope: "Behold, I am making all things new." These words from the throne declare His sovereign power to restore creation, wiping away tears, death, and pain in the glorious new heaven and earth. Yet this renewal begins now in every believer's heart—through faith in Christ, we become a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17). Just as He proclaimed in Isaiah 43:19, "I am doing a new thing... I will make a way in the wilderness," God transforms our broken paths into rivers of life!

In 2026, may we release the past, forgive wholeheartedly, embrace His grace, and live boldly in the newness He provides. Happy New Year from all of us at WBNH!

A Message from Our New Morning Host...

We've been blessed to have John on Sunday mornings for over two decades on WBNH and for many years during our Spring fundraiser... now he joins us weekday mornings from 7am-9am! He would like to share with you a friendly invitation...

"Hello listening friends, I’m John Hayden, and I’m so pleased to be joining you weekday mornings as well as continuing on Sunday mornings! I’ve been in Christian radio since I was 15 years old, and truly love the way it encourages the body of Christ and helps people draw closer to the Lord. Born and raised in Kansas City, I’m a big fan of the Chiefs and good BBQ! I hope to bring some uplifting music, devotionals, joy, and just plain fun to your mornings. I would love to have you join us! We’ll hang out while you drink your coffee or start your morning commute, and talk about what’s happening in the community, the world, and in God’s Kingdom. Thanks for welcoming me to the WBNH family, and I would love to hear from you! Reach out anytime at john@wbnh.org" -John

Sanctity of Human Life Month

A question long debated within families is, when should we talk to our children about abortion? It's important to intentionally teach our children about the Sanctity of Life and pass on a legacy to them that's consistent with our beliefs. How do you do that? When's the right time? Join Victor Nieves from Life Issues Institute on the 2026 Sanctity of Life special program, "Made in His Image" teaching kids the value of every life. Join us Friday, January 16 @ 8pm and Sunday, January 18 @ noon, here on WBNH.

Could you help families in need?

A great way we can impact our community during Sanctity of Human Life month is our annual Diaper Drive! Would you like to help expectant moms and dads in a special way? You can bring diapers to WBNH Radio 1919 Mayflower Dr. Pekin, IL Monday-Friday from 9:00am-4:30pm during the month of January and we’ll distribute them to our friends at local pregnancy centers. All sizes needed, especially 4, 5 & 6. Or you can donate online toward the purchase of diapers (every $50 donation purchases approximately 150-200 diapers depending on size). And we thank you in advance for showing love to local needy families!

Coffee & Donuts with us!

Nothing like the smell of fresh coffee and donuts to put a smile on your face! Follow your nose to Mayflower Drive in Pekin... on Thursday, January 22 @ 9am—11am for Coffee & Donuts with WBNH! Please stop in for some treats, fellowship, and even prayer if you'd like and bring a friend! You can take a tour of the station, and we'll have a gift for you as well... See you soon! We appreciate you as part of our listening family!
