Trust in the Lord with ALL thine heart... Mission Gospel Train is an outreach ministry that comes from the heart of its founder, Pastor Edward Jennings Tyson. As the new Pastor of New Hope Baptist Church, Pastor Tyson shared his vision for gospel music to fill the void of music programming targeting the African American communities in Texhoma. After declaring this vision to the New Hope Church family, Pastor Tyson was informed about a station manager in Wichita Falls opening the door for that very type of format. He immediately contacted Mr. John Green, the station manager of KLLF 1290AM, about the possibility of having a program with not only gospel music but preaching, teaching and promoting artists as well. Still in the producing stages of this adventure, Pastor Tyson shared his vision with the late Ann Williams who joined him in seeing the manifestation this God ordained work. On Saturday, March 5, 1988 Mission Gospel Train Ministries began its' journey on the radio from 8 to 9am on KLLF 1290AM to the Texhoma region. Of course God’s work never stays small and Pastor Tyson continues to trust in God with all he would have him to do. So Pastor Tyson, known as "The Gospel Conductor", approached Mr. Mike Klappenburger, station manager of KVWC 1490AM / 102.3FM in Vernon, TX, to inquire about having the same type of programming in Vernon. And in 1989, on the Sunday Mornings the Mission Gospel Train began airing on KVWC from 7 – 9am. Lean not to thine own understanding….. Station management changes at KLLF 1290 could not stop God’s work! Mission Gospel Train was blessed to travel on to KNIN 990AM on March 26, 1994. The “Train continued to stay on course and another track was laid for Mission Gospel Train to provide the Gospel of Jesus Christ- TELEVISION! This open door was opened by God and inspired by Brandon Payne, son of Minister Rod Payne, owner of Christian Family Network Television (CFNT- Cable Ch 10, UHF Ch 30). In 1997 the Gospel Conductor was blessed to do the work of God “live” every first Thursday of the month (with rebroadcasts) by now reaching all mankind spiritually and naturally with interviews from pastors and lay ministers, promoting events, introduction gospel artist and interviewing guests who could give insight in addressing the issues of life with practical and biblical applications. In all thy ways acknowledge him.... As the train was pulling into the television station, the radio station was experiencing more changes. So, Mission Gospel Train joined APEX broadcasting and in 2000 the Clear Channel Broadcasting family under the direction of station manager, Mr. Jim Marks. Presently this is where the radio ride airs every Saturday morning from 8 – 10am. And he shall direct thy path... In 2004, The Gospel Conductor received orders from "Our Master Conductor" to return to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma as the Pastor of his home church, New Hope Baptist Church. Give and it shall be given unto you… Even with this promotion from God, Pastor Tyson never lost sight of the vision he placed within his heart and manifested through prayers and wisdom from the Holy Ghost. The radio programming in Vernon continued through Rev. Darrell Willie. The Gospel Conductor could see the work God was doing through Rev. Willie as well as his desire to continue the work. At the leading of the Holy Ghost Pastor Tyson gave the time slot to Pastor Darrell Willie so that gospel programming could continue in the greenbelt area, thus Hour of Hope was born and Pastor Willie’s vision of a voice for his ministry, House of Hope (Vernon, TX) could be heard. Mission Gospel Train continues to go and grow as God gives the increase from what has been planted through individuals volunteering their time and generosity of talents. Money answereth all things… Praise God for Pastor Tyson for ensuring that his vision come to fruition and for the continual support of businesses and individuals who have contributed to this ministry and to this day help the Mission Gospel Train declare the Gospel of Jesus Christ for man’s edification and God’s glorification. As it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. |
