Several years later during our ministry in St. Maarten, the Lord began to deal with my heart about somehow expanding the ministry or the Word of God. I decided to climb to the top of Mount William and stay there praying and fasting until God spoke to my heart. I hired a man with a donkey, on which we loaded some cans of water and a small folding cot for sleeping. There was a small tin shack that housed a small relay antenna on the mountain top, and there is where spent my nights.

During the three days of fasting and prayer, the Lord spoke to me the second time in an audible voice, “I am going to use you to reach the West Indies and beyond with the Gospel.’ I wondered how God was going to accomplish this mighty deed, of which I was to find the answer to in 1962. Every morning at 9am, I was to go to the edge of this mountain and wave a white handkerchief toward our rented home on the back street of Phillipsburg, which my wife Myrt would return with a wave. This signal between us was a mean that all was well.
After three days I climbed back down the mountain and assumed my duties visiting in the villages every day, and conducting the open air services every night. In 1962 Chester Wathey a big businessman on the Dutch side of the island got a license for a small 100 watt radio station called PJD2. This station was on the air a few hours each night for several months. There was no advertising on this station so I knew that the owner, Chester Wathey, was not making any money on this enterprise, which I knew would not bode well for very long. Therefore, I decided to make him a proposition to lease the radio station to me for $500.00 per month. Now $500.00 dollars was a lot of money back then in 1962 on a tiny undeveloped island, so he agreed to the proposition in a contract, and I took over the operation of Radio Station PJD2.
