Ministry Updates

I can't help but think that this is what your listeners want to tell you for airing the daily "Life Issues^®" program and the recent Sanctity of Life Sunday special . . . and so do I.  I believe that many lives were saved and changed because one of your listeners heard Melissa Ohden's story.  Life does begin at conception!

But wait.  The work isn't done yet! There are more who need to hear the message of "Life Issues^®." 

Brad Mattes, Executive Director of the Life Issues^® Institute will be at NRB and I know he'd love to let ...

In almost ten years of radio ministry, what has garnered the most significant listener response for "Revive Our Hearts^™" has been their 30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge.

On many programs, Nancy Leigh DeMoss has challenged wives that for the next 30 days, they can't say anything negative to or about their husband, but rather, they are to say something that they admire or appreciate about their husband.

In a special program scheduled for February 4^th, listeners will hear from many women who have taken this challenge and how God used their positive attitude and encouraging words to transform their ...

It was a very different Christmas celebration than what we had originally anticipated.  Grandma Wallace was a wonderful example of Christ's love . . . and it was the first time we weren't able to spend Christmas with her.

Grandma lived a life worth living.  As we shared our stories, it was clear that her incredible love for others overflowed from her deep relationship with God.  It was no mistake that we all set our eyes toward Heaven in celebration of her life well-lived.

I too want to live well.  This is exactly what UpWords^® with Max Lucado is all about ...

And they're off! The Mercy Ships^® team hit the ground running in 2011!  Please take a few moments to read this post about their work in Sierra Leone, the site of this years field service:

Shortly, the advance team will be joined by the newly-renovated Africa Mercy, equipped with a new fuel efficient generator, ready to bring hope and healing.  I can't wait to hear stories about the lives that will be changed as a result of the skillful and loving hands of the doctors, nurses, and other volunteers on the Africa Mercy.

Although I am not able ...

When your day is interrupted, how do you respond?  I'll tell you how a large ministry like HCJB Global responds, but first -- consider your reaction when you are:

• Interrupted by a jury summons, overflowing washing machine, spilled coffee.
• Interrupted by someone else's needs, concerns, lack of planning.
• Interrupted by a child's disobedience, car accident, diagnosis.

Of course, there are welcome interruptions (like a co-worker stopping by your desk with a candy bar) -- but the ones we're most familiar with usually cause us to loathe the source of the disruption in our day, in our life.

With NRB quickly approaching, I'm reminded of the Sunday morning worship message John MacArthur gave in 2009.  It was the first time I had heard the Greek word "Dulous" used - translated means slave - to identify us as followers of Jesus Christ!  What a revelation that was for me ... and I believe thousands of attendees who heard that same message. 

Coinciding with the release of his new book Slave, John MacArthur delivers again a compelling message on this subject.  Understandably, for many folks the very word slave is an offensive term but in his three day series "Slaves for Christ ...
