Prayer and Impact

Hi all,

Wow, how the time flies. I have several cool testimonies to share, but let me do just one now and then share a prayer request with you.

One of our radio programs on our AM station is called "Hymns of the Christian Life". It is the only program we have dedicated to playing the old hymns of the faith. Well, a week ago we invited our listeners to come to HCJB and spend a night together with us listening to these old hymns, sung by several local Christian artists. We gave out free tickets in order to control how many people might show up.

One 66 year old lady came by for her tickets and told us that she has been listening to HCJB for about 6 months, ever since she ran across "Hymns of the Christian Life" on the AM dial. She has been teaching women's groups in her church for many, many years. The day she tuned in, Candice, the host of the show, was sharing with her listeners about how they could have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and be saved from an eternity in hell. This dear lady had never heard that before and decided to pray and accept the free gift of salvation that very day. She has since become a very faithful listener to our programs.

With this in mind, I would invite you to pray for our producers this week. This is Holy Week and we have prepared many special programs that will emphasize the events of this week some 2000 years ago and point our listeners toward Jesus as the one who paid our debt for sin and allows us to live for eternity with Him in heaven once we die. Pray that our producers will impact our listeners through their words and testimony, and that many new listeners would find us on the radio dial this week, just as this lady above did.

Pray also that our equipment will run without problems. Often during our special Christmas and Easter programs, our equipment has problems. Our transmitters fail, or our studios have problems, just when we are sharing the most important events of human history with our audience. So let's pray in advance that the Lord will "put a hedge of protection" around our equipment and keep it running throughout this Holy Week.

Thanks,

Doug
