Despite the way things look at times in the world, we have much to be thankful for! I write this just days after a wonderful Share-A-Thon where we encouraged you to tell YOUR story! Every one of them reminded us not only why we do what we do at WRGN, but how what we do has impacted so many lives over the past 39 years. Your testimonies of God's faithfulness in your own lives also reminded us of His faithfulness in the ministry here. God continues to provide as He always does, as more and more people join in giving through the rest of the year.

It's a love that doesn't come easy to us, but neither is it optional for us.
