From the Manager
 
I have many great memories of our time as students at Moody Bible Institute. One, which comes to mind at this time, was while waiting in line at the snack bar. It was always a privilege when one of our professors had time to speak to us but this time it was the president, Dr. Sweeting
himself in line with us. He had just asked how we were doing and one person in our group commented, "God has been sooo good to me." To which Dr. Sweeting commented, "Well if He hadn't, you would be the first!" That stuck with me even to this day. There is no one who has never felt God's grace! In fact if you really begin to think about it you are safely at this point in your life because of His help and mercy. Through everything He has been there for you and me.
Just think, you are always on His mind. You always have His attention! James 1:17 reminds us that God keeps His eyes focused on us (no shadow of turning). He is never distracted or has to put us on hold. Only God can do that or would want to! Can you name anyone else who has that much interest or time to care for your needs? His mercy endures forever!
I really feel that you are in the sound of WCIF's broadcast because God cares for you. His Word brings life, can guide our path, brings comfort, instruction and inspires. What better way to make it available than to have it clear every barrier and distraction and make it available by tuning across your radio dial? There are so many that have said God came to their rescue though something programmed on WCIF. I just heard of how God had used a portion of music programming and one of our speakers to minister to a family member who really needed to know there is hope and a future for them. God knew exactly when His encouragement could get through and made sure it was available. All the while making sure this same segment of programming was ministering to everyone else who was listening for whatever reason! Do you know anyone else who could coordinate that!?  Help us pray for those who will be listening for whatever reason. God knows why they listen and when. That includes you. Your favorite speaker, your most encouraging songs can keep you from poor choices and petty thoughts and help you pay attention to what is real and has lasting value. And always remember you have lasting value especially to the one who paid the ultimate price for you.

Thanks for your Letters!


Titusville - Thanks for your continued faithfulness to our community

Palm Bay - Enclosed please find a check for the balance of my pledge for the year 2003. Unfortunately at this time I was not able to participate in the 2004 Sharathon due to a pledge I made at my church regarding a building fund drive. I know that the Lord has already made a way for WCIF to continue on the air for His glory & honor.

Titusville - I have loved your station for several years. I really should give you more $. I have especially been blessed by your music, Bible trivia, regular programs, and Night Sounds and Music thru The Night. I am a hopeless insomniac! Please pray that my husband will get a job soon. . . but we know God hears our prayers. We have all been Christians a long time.
 

Merritt Island - Thank you. May God bless you for your kindness, labors of love and your servants' heart!

Palm Bay - Hello, I'm blessed and happy listening to your program. . . It helps me spiritually and individually everyday listening to you going to work. Sometimes I'll be singing the song I heard at work and it makes me happy. Thank you for your mission, it really is touching people & lives. With my children in the US Army/Navy your music gives me peace & assurance that God is with them. Thank you so very much!

Palm Bay - Thank you for taking the time to let our families tour your ministry. It was a great experience for us. We sure appreciate all that you do to lift up the name of Jesus and get the Word out! Blessings to all of you.


Palm Bay - I want to share my story with you. On Tuesday of the pledge drive, I was in the van driving back from taking my daughter to school. I felt like pledging $20.00. When I arrived home I called the station and pledged $20.00, one time gift. A few hours after that a friend of mine called. She wanted me to watch her son for two days. This was after school and he and my son could play together. This child would not have to go to after care. She said she would pay me $20.00. It was on Thursday that I finally realized God provided the $20.00! I am a stay at home wife/mom. God does provide and thank you for sharing God's Word!

Micco - Thank you for continuing to do a great service in God's Name.

West Melbourne - Thanks so much for the book & tape which I'm sure I will enjoy. I'm thrilled & thankful to God that WCIF will be with us another year as evidenced by the response of so many people to Sharathon. God bless you all & keep up the wonderful work you do. We are grateful.
