"Reach out and experience the breadth? Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the Heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God. God can do anything, you know — far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, His Spirit deeply and gently within us."
Ephesians 3:18 & 19 The Message ©1993 by Eugene H. Peterson. Used by permission

This Could Be the Year!

In a few days we are going to ask you to help us step out on another challenging year of living by faith. The reality is that we need you to help us with your financial support and your promises to hold us up in prayer during the coming year. On March 8 - 10 we will have some very important programming that will have the attention of the communities we serve. Our annual SHARATHON will take place at that time. We are asking you to tune in and take part. We also ask you to think of your neighbors and what a difference there could be for them if sometime during the year at just the right time they were able to tune in and hear and focus on the truth. We want you and them to be able to reach out, rise up and live full lives beyond imagination! You can help make that possible. We need success so we can spread the victory.

Telephone volunteers for Sharathon are needed.  To volunteer call 725-9243. Training will be provided. Share 2 or 3 hours of your time with WCIF.

SHARATHON is scheduled for March 8, 9 & 10.  Please join us in prayer for this important event for the ministry of WCIF.  If you have a testimony about how WCIF has helped you - consider sharing it - Testimonies can be recorded by telephone.

A Surprise Ending
Remember the last time you watched your plans unravel and thought, Lord, what's going on here?! It happens to all of us. And it happened to our Wheels for the World team when they arrived in Poland to distribute wheelchairs and Bibles. Before the day had hardly started, their plans
were in shreds.....
The distribution area was tiny. Then, before our team had a chance to set up, they turned and saw streams of hopeful disabled people and their families pouring through the doors of the distribution site. Our team was caught off guard.
Right away, the Wheels leader gathered the team to pray. Proverbs 19:21 was on their minds, “Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.” Then they got to work. A tired father who had been carrying his five-year-old disabled boy finally reached the
head of the line. He'd been waiting for hours and was excited that it was now his son's turn. But when he lifted him into the pre-assigned wheelchair-it didn't fit!
Our physical therapist ran back to the storeroom, pushed aside several adult wheelchairs, and reached for a child-sized one. It was the only one there. She was dismayed to see how highly customized it was-it had trunk supports from its original owner and the blue leather backing had
“Jake” stitched across the middle.
When the family saw all the gizmos on it, they frowned. But the father lifted his son into the odd new chair. It fit perfectly! A circle of curious onlookers gathered around. “It's like it was made for him!” an interpreter exclaimed.
“By the way,” one Wheels team member asked the boy's mother, “what is your son's name?”
“Jakob,” she said matter-of-factly.
Yes, it was the perfect fit all the way down to the little boy's name. If you are struggling today with a plan-gone-haywire in your life, take heart from Jakob's story. Most of all, take comfort in Proverbs
19:21. The Lord's purpose always prevails. Just ask those happy parents in Poland!

Merritt Island - To the management, staff & volunteers of WCIF. Thanks to all of you for your time, energy, service, and sacrifice to the ministry that is WCIF. I traveled a lot this year, much of which was due to the Columbia tragedy. I knew that back home here you were making a difference in people's lives. Last month, I became aware that I have not been faithful in sharing the mission of WCIF. Please accept my very overdue pledge for April through December. What a Blessing you are to our area!!

Titusville - Thanks once more for Christmas 2003, your strong commitment of lifting up Jesus in Praise Music & word. May God richly reward the stand taken. Love & Best wishes to each family for 2004.

Palm Bay - Got my calendar in the mail today! It is really beautiful! I would hate to have to pick a favorite month because it can't be done! Thank you and also for sharing the picture of “Kiley” in the newsletter. It's nice to see who Scott is talking about. I love my station WCIF! God is so good! Thank you

Melbourne - Thank you for the 2004 calendar and for the beautiful music all year. I like to listen to Chuck Swindoll every a.m. and Ravi Zacharias on Sunday a.m. and the music in between. The enclosed check to help pay the bills. God Bless you all.

Palm Bay - Sorry to be so late. I was out of the country 1st half of the year. I'm back briefly. Keep up the Good Work.

Melbourne - Thank you - Thank you ALL. Wish I could send a whole-days month of broadcasting. Maybe this will help for 1/2 a day - God Bless all there with many blessings in 2004.

Palm Bay - Greetings, I have much pleasure to say to you, how I enjoy your station. It is a great blessing to me. It is on most of the day & nights, especially throughout the Christmas season. My soul & heart - have been blessed. I do hope and pray that you will continue to be on the air forever. I would love to get the name of the first an- nouncer that comes on every morning at 6. I want him to know that I try to answer his scripture questions and prayers. When he is off I miss him very much. Hope he will continue to do God's work. Please have him pray for me and my husband each time he prays. The entire staff is very nice also. Enclosed is this love offering. May God bless and keep all of you in His care and to continue to do His service till he comes.
