Description
A call from Ferguson Police Department Chaplain, Pastor Jose Aguayo, was very interesting. “Harold, would you like to record radio with the new Ferguson Chief of Police?” he asked.
I quickly said, “Yes!” And since we are a Christian radio station, there would be interest in his “spiritual Journey.” Is he a Jesus-follower? “Definitely!” Pastor Jose responded.
So St. Louis Bott Radio (on 1320 AM and 95.9 FM) … and Bott Radio Network (www.bottradionetwork.com) … were delighted to give the 2019 “brand new” Ferguson Chief of Police, Jason Armstrong, a good “Welcome!”
That same evening of our recording radio, Jason Armstrong was “sworn in” as Ferguson’s Police Chief.
Ferguson officer Frank McCall — a deacon in his East St. Louis, IL, church with whom we recorded earlier radio – is Ferguson’s Assistant Chief of Police.
(In a jovial moment: While Chief Armstrong was visiting the radio station, my wife Joan saw him “packing heat” (carrying a pistol in his holster – I can’t believe she did this!) She asked him if he had a permit to carry his weapon! He assured her that he did. [I’m glad they were both smiling when they had this conversation and I wasn’t close by.])

Pastor Jose Aguayo contacted Pastor Joe Costephens, Senior minister of the First Baptist Church of Ferguson, a short distance north of the Ferguson’s Police Station. Pastor Joe quickly said “yes” to Jose’s recommendation that they host a Ferguson “Prayer Breakfast” in the church’s “Branson Hall” as a good opportunity for the area to honor the Lord God. It is to be on Tuesday, August 6th, 2019. For reservations contact the Church office at 314 521-1515 or Pastor Jose Aguayo at 314 368-1642.
