From Us To You

September 2010

Dear Ones:

You’ll notice in one of the radio spots we’re airing for WRGN’s Shar-A-Thon, ( yes, it will be conducted on November 17, 18 and 19), we use the word desperate. Is it too strong a word to use when asking you to contribute to the ministry here? We could use the words crucial, intense, uncertain and sometimes grim as we impress on listeners the importance of everyone becoming supporters of this listener-supported station. If everyone gave what God laid on their hearts to give the situation would not be grim. But, if you’ve followed past Shar-A- Thons closely, you’re aware that it can seem grim at times.

It is no exaggeration to say that listeners’ giving will help save lives here. Our only hope in this sin wracked world is God’s Word. Spiritual darkness becomes light by the power of it and His Word is heard 24 hours daily on WRGN. But that’s only as you make it possible by your gifts. Everyone’s participation is crucial.

Our desires are right! They are to continue to reach souls for Christ through the broadcasts. The intenseness of Shar-A-Thon is felt when we fear that the goal will not be met, while thinking if every listener shares in meeting the costs of operating WRGN, it will be! We are getting ready for Shar-A-Thon trusting God to supply the station’s needs. Pray that our trust in Him will be greater than ever and that fear and uncertainty will fade as the response from listeners show that indeed their desire is to keep this Christian radio station strong in the upcoming year.

We’ve made it obvious that Shar-A-Thon is a serious time for the station. Now we leave our thoughts and hopes about it with you, and in God’s hands. We hope you’ll begin praying now, that listeners will realize the seriousness of their participation in Shar-A-Thon.

Pray For Us in This Crucial time,
Lovingly,

Burl and Shirley Updyke
