Betty Calls and Asks for Help

God continues to open doors for us to share His love and to strengthen individuals and families through the weekly radio program.

The radio program had just ended when the engineer said, "Kay, you have a call."

"Hello, Mrs. Meyer, are we off the air?"

"Yes."

"Good. You talked today about prayer. I really need your prayers. Would you pray for me and my husband?"

During the next few minutes, this woman shared her story with me. Some months before she learned that her husband had been involved in a long-term affair. She was understandably hurt, angry, and upset. "Mrs. Meyer, he was my best friend! I feel so betrayed! I don't know what to do or where to go for help. I just can't seem to get over the hurt."

She wanted to learn how to forgive him and rebuild their shaky relationship. As we talked I learned she and her husband had not attended church for many years. I couldn't help but ask, "If you never go to church, why are you listening to a Christian radio program?" She responded, "Because I need help and I thought you might be able to offer some answers."

What an open door for the message of God's love through Christ. Toward the end of the conversation, I shared the Gospel and prayed with her. Later we referred her to a Christian counselor and to a congregation near her home. The last time we talked she and her husband were still married and were attending church together. They were also in counseling.

Situations like this often seem impossible to you and me, but God performs miracles every day. He is in the business of restoring broken relationships! After all, isn't that what He sent His Son into the world to do? Opportunities to share the Gospel abound on Christian radio.

Prisoners Write Asking for Prayer and Resources

“I listen to Family Shield each week and am incarcerated in Texas. I almost never attended church and don’t know much about God’s Word. One of the volunteers that come to do Bible studies with us recommended the radio program to us. Thank you for caring about me and my family. I’m learning so much.” John

Prayer and Encouragement for Families in Crisis

“I’m Michael. My wife and I have two young children. I lost my job and was out of work for over a year. Since my wife didn’t work it was a very challenging time. I did some part-time work, continued to volunteer for several non-profit organizations and a church in our community. Last month I accepted a new position. During these challenging times, God walked with us. We were able to pay our mortgage payment during the entire year.  We so appreciate your prayers and encouragement as we went through this life challenge. Thank you!”

Overcoming Fear and Anxiety

“I have been very afraid during the past months because of the coronavirus and heard your program that dealt with fear and anxiety. Thank you for speaking about this topic and again encouraging me to trust in the Lord. I need to be reminded of His love and care every day.”

Amanda Wrote Us

The Lord continues to open opportunities for us to share God's love with those who don't yet know Christ. Amanda is an 83-year old widow who wrote us after hearing a Family Shield podcast on "Dealing with Grief." She found us by searching the Internet. She told us in her letter how much the program had touched her heart and helped her in the grieving process. She had lost her husband just months before she wrote. She asked if we could connect her to the guest counselor that I had interviewed. She wanted him to counsel her through her grief. I did connect them. It wasn't until I got to the end of her letter that she told me she was Jewish and didn't believe in Jesus. 

She continued, "Your program was so hopeful and helpful! I just had to write!" The Holy Spirit guided her as she wrote us. Would you keep her in your prayers? Remember it is never too late to come to know the Lord. Jews for Jesus recently stated, "Jewish people are the most unreached people in the world." Your support allows us to serve many individuals and their families that need Christ! Thank you!

Your support allows us to serve individuals and their families and equip them to share their faith with family and friends. Thank you!

In His Service and yours,
