Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Larry W, who points out the following announcement on the Overcomer Ministry website<\/a>:
\n\"\"<\/a>Since Overcomer Ministry leader, “Brother Stair” was arrested on multiple charges including sexual assault<\/a>,\u00a0I think many of us assumed his on air programming would soon come to an end.<\/p>\n

A number of private broadcasters<\/a>\u00a0had already pulled his programming after his arrest last Monday. Now that Overcomer has announced the halt of all radio broadcasting–and the voice of Overcomer, Brother Stair, is in jail–their satellite and online feeds will likely replay old content.<\/p>\n

Indeed, I believe this could even lead to the closure of some private broadcasters this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
