[@lunkhoseisingsit2107]

I love to hear your program "Haven of rest" broadcast since 1973, till to day .

[@donlow9379]

I listen to this broadcast when I first became a Christian in 1971 love this program love the stories and the quartet

[@tdup2010]

Thank you for posting this wonderful video. I got saved in 1985 at which time I worked the night shift at a General Motors plant. My lunch break was at 2:am. I would go to my car in the parking lot and eat my sandwich every night with my radio tuned to the Haven of Rest program with Ray Ortland. What a blessing that broadcast was to me. May God bless the Haven Ministry.Thank you for the role you played in the early years of my walk with The Lord !

[@Sheikyerbouti8]

First mate Bob (Paul Myers), is my great grandfather. I was named after his son, my paternal grandfather, Richard Myers. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this video! You have no idea how grateful I am.

[@Jaxie777]

I use to listen to this radio program after I accepted Jesus at the age of 10 in 1970. Hearing the "eight bells & all's well; you have entered into the Haven of Rest" & "Welcome Aboard the Goodship Grace" brings back some sweet memories of a little girl learning about Jesus via radio. Thank you for posting this!!

A treasure! Greetings from The Netherlands

[@criccro1]

WE NEED MORE OF THIS.

[@lonnierittenour6672]

I used to listen to the Haven of Rest back in the 70's. I loved hearing the bells when they came on.

[@charjagoe6991]

Charlie Turner was my dad. Still good friends with the Bowman family. Just shared this video with some of the Bowman family. Thank you for posting this.

[@jeannesmith8473]

My dad accompanied Charles in various occasions like Youth For Christ.. He sang at my wedding and you Char was my Matron of Honor.. Sweet memory.

[@ilvahertzler6571]

[@patriciageer9260]

Charlie Turner was my Dad! What a precious gift you gave me with this video and history of Haven of Rest when my Dad was part of the quartet. Patty Turner Geer.

[@charjagoe6991]

I’m the middle child of Charlie Turner. I remember visiting the studio many times. Even got to sing on the radio once with my dad. Precious memories. The Bowman family are good friends to this day.

[@chrissybloulam2585]

I used to listen to the "Haven of Rest" on WEZE Boston in the 90's. I miss it. ♥️💜💝💟

[@Dinkfod1]

My mother, throughout the 1940s & later, always listened to First Mate Bob. She regularly mailed the little envelope to the program and received their newsletter. Even as a youngster, I always looked forward to the weekly "Ahoy there," as the show always began. I didn't realize that the program was produced in Hollywood. Great memories. Evan Long, Visalia, CA

[@HavenToday]

+Evan Long Thanks for sharing, Evan. FYI - The "good ship" is still standing on Hyperion in Hollywood. Sadly, Haven moved from their in the late 90's, but we are still a Southern Californian production. Last year our local paper ran a fun story on our 80 year history. Here's the link: www.pe.com/articles/haven-756924-program-radio.html

[@chrissybloulam2585]

​@@HavenTodayDoes Haven have a paper newsletter they send out❓ I would pay for it.

[@charleschapman5536]

Thanks so much for sharing this treasure of history with those who grew up with First Mate Bob and the Haven of Rest quartet. Listener in the '50's here on KGDN in Seattle. Now living in NE Thailand as a "tentmaker." This, and the treasure trove of quartet songs now on KZbin provide me with so much inspiration and encouragement.

[@HavenToday]

Thanks for leaving this friendly note! It's a real blessing to know that the Lord has used Haven for so many years to point people to Jesus. Godspeed as you serve Him in Thailand. You should be able to stream our daily program by visiting www.haventoday.org.

[@rogergroot2950]

Thank you for producing this very heart warming memory of when I was a young boy my mother always listened also and I also being from a very musical family enjoyed the music along with the messages from First Mate Bob.When I once again heard this segment I recently heard Ray Boltz sing THANK YOU and First Mate Bob and the crew will probably have those in heaven thanking them along with thousands of others!

[@eribertosalmo80]

Bob Bowman, the baritone was the President of Far East Broadcasting and was my boss. Oh what a memory. Am sure I'll be seeing him in heaven.

[@pixietherabbit3238]

I miss The Haven of Rest (and The Morning Chapel Hour.) Such a shame that we feel the need to change to accommodate the world. Adopt short, snappy titles. I just don't remember reading that the early Christians became more like the Romans in terms of music, presentation, etc... to "grow the church."

[@camarosunrise5128]

True. Amen. Bless.

[@MrCJ-qz9dl]

@@camarosunrise5128 all too true...if a spiritual enterprise begins to lose revenue, the natural reaction is to how to appeal to the listeners; not how to glorify God.

[@ruby2thursday]

might want to remember that the Wurlitzer sound that Lorin Whitney was so fond of using...and the Hammond M3/B3 sounds...with the leslie speaker...those sounds were not well received by the church at the time he started using them. From what I've read he liked using those instruments to reach the new generation....alas, becoming like the Romans. we don't change to become 'like' others but because change is a constant. All things (not God) change as we have been given gifts of creativity. Would you rather nothing ever be invented so that we might not be like others in the human race...as a whole a creation of God. If you're not going to use your 'talents' you might give them to someone who will, rather than bury them in the ground.

[@georgerichards3943]

grow up in L.A. (40's / 50's) - remember this program & J Vernon McGee & many more + Youth for Christ at The Church of the Open Door on Sat. night + the sing a long in Pasadena Auditorium with (not sure) Ralph Carmichael (on Mon.?) - my family came to Faith after W.W.2 (all 6 of us) - my Dad from "drink" to "all for Jesus" - so being the youngest I got to hear the good old Hymns + great Choruses (because I was "always" with my folks - now I thank the Lord for that experience) - rich.n.JESUS

[@davidkenyon9823]

so happy I found this. there is no Haven of Rest page on wikipedia!! please help??

[@HavenToday]

+David Kenyon Hi David! You can visit www.haventoday.org which is our current website. We still have Haven of Rest albums and a fun history section in our about tab. You might also enjoy reading this fun article that a local paper did on our 80 year anniversary last year. Here's the link: www.pe.com/articles/haven-756924-program-radio.html

[@myrnarudolph2638]

My uncle who turns 90 this month loved to listen to the Haven of Rest radio program and the Quartet singing through the years. Does anyone know if this Early Film Footage video of the Haven of Rest can be purchased? I would love for him to see this but he does not have a computer and internet. It would make his birthday perfect to see it. Thank you for any information. Myrna Rudolph

[@HavenToday]

Hey Myrna, We don't have this available for mass purchase. But if you send your request to [e-mail] with your contact information, we'd love to send you the full DVD taken from Haven's 50th anniversary. We just ask for a small gift to the ministry to help cover shipping and production. Haven Team

2:7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing. Deuteronomy

[@barb.gerhard9501]

I used to listen t this program when I was a teen and young adult, I was saved at the time, but even though I was still unsaved, and listening to rock and roll music, and out with my friends, and not living godly still I was strangely drawn to this program I would at times force myself to listen, even when i thought it was rather boring and dry, but somehow I still liked it. they were one of the ways seeds were sown in my life, then in 1985 I went to a Bible study at the Alliance Church in my community and accepted the Lord. God used different people and situations to bring to finally to Him, so I have a great blessing listening to this program is there still a Haven of Rest program on in some form or other?

[@notmanatee2445]

That was a good info about them,are all the songs performed from the album i have called shipmates of song? It sounds distorted and a little unintelligable.

[@franzjosef47]

Does anyone know what happened to all of the old broadcasts of this program ? I'm speaking of the Radio Broadcasts.

[@MrCJ-qz9dl]

Ah..but simpler times...times with its sorrows and difficulties, but men and women were blessed with hard work (without updated technology), discipline, and faith to accomplish monumental tasks. As a result they received Heaven's blessing. Today's generation also has its issues and frustrations. But this "microwave age" expects things NOW, with minimum effort, if any. Unlike the days of old (for Blacks as well as Whites), people learned to master hardships. True worship was more sincere, without fanfare; and people knew how to make due with what they had; not feeling society owed them anything. Oh...for the days gone by!!!!@

[@camarosunrise5128]

True. Amen. Bless.

Can anybody tell me where can I find music like this. Is this from the 60's? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@indiglo1971]

I'm pretty sure it's earlier than the 60's.

Can any good thing come out of Hollywood?

It did

[@MrCJ-qz9dl]

@@atestring1379 Amen...living proof that God can bring something good out of something bad. It doesn't necessarily depend on the environment.
