A
historical marker on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay reads like this:
“The
earliest outline of a recognizable bay on the northern coast of the
Gulf of Mexico was shown on a 1507 map by German cartographer Martin
Waldeseemuller–the same map to first apply the name "America"
to the New World.
Alonso
Álvarez de Pineda, during a 1519 Spanish expedition seeking a water
passage to the Orient through the Gulf, described this harbor and
gave it the name Bahía del Espíritu Santo. Successive Spanish
explorers sought this "Holy Grail" along the Gulf Coast,
failing until a 1693 expedition concluded that what is now called
Mobile Bay was the fabled Bay of the Holy Spirit.”
Our
area has along history and deep roots into the faith of the gospel of
Jesus Christ.
We
at Goforth Media are excited to announce the launch of a brand new
local listener supported Christian radio station. It’s focus is
music that praises God on the Bay of the Holy Spirit and beyond.
960 AM and 93.3
FM in Mobile, and 106.9 FM on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay.
