EQUIPMENT UPDATE
  Our special project to update our automation equipment is at approximately 10% of what  we need.  Thanks to all who have contributed.  There's still room for you to help.  The total project will cost $10,000  and will wait until we have the funds.

As in previous years WCIF will ask listeners to partner with us and provide help to some needy neighbors.  This year Habitat For Humanity has a very exciting project going that will seek to involve more people to provide multiple homes all in one dedicated neighborhood.  If you haven't  heard about "Faith Landing" you will during the one-day fall Care-A-thon.  Just a quick review will help you know how to pray for the early October event. Habitat has purchased land in Melbourne which is large enough to build 20 houses.  The plan includes  having their own church in the development.

We will discuss with them how they will qualify the families and  what the needs are at this point and any other question you might have.  This is  exciting in that we have an opportunity to reach  beyond ourselves and really make a difference in a number of  families' lives.  Families that need "a hand up, not a hand out".  By now you know the record of Habitat that they are good stewards of everything  that is given to them to use.  This year's project is just another instance of how well they do in planning and  working their plan.

A Prayer
by 
Ron Hutchcraft






1. "Lord, do something that will show people Your glory over all the earth." 

"O God ... let your glory  be over all the earth."  Psalm 108:5 
"Be utterly amazed.  For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told."  Habakkuk 1:5 
This is a moment for God to do something that no diplomat, no world leader, no army could possibly do - so all will know that "the Lord He is God."

2. "Lord, use these anxious and uncertain times to bring many to Christ."

"Pray...that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored."      2 Thessalonians 3:1
"May God be gracious to us and bless us...that Your ways may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations." Psalm 67:1,2
God can use this fearful time to reach the hearts of many - in Iraq, in America, across the Middle East, among the young men and women of the military.

3. "Lord, guide our leaders to be instruments of Your will on earth."

   "I urge...that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority." 1 Timothy 2:1,2
A believer's responsibility to "honor the king" (1 Peter 2:17) and to pray for those in authority transcends political labels and issues - it is a spiritual responsibility.

4. "Lord, protect the innocent."

"Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the Lord delivers him in time of trouble..." Psalm 40:1
"A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling." Psalm 68:5
In the violence of war, of oppression, of terrorism, only God can protect the innocent - innocent citizens, innocent victims, innocent combatants.

5. "Lord, use human authorities to bring punishment on evildoers."

"The governing authorities...are God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the evildoer." Romans 13:1,4
"It is God who judges; He brings down one, He exalts another." Psalm 5:7
Ultimately it is God Himself, sometimes using human instruments, who removes those He does not want in authority any longer. "He brings princes to naught." (Isaiah 40:2)

6. "Lord, have Your way and Your will in the lives of our enemies."

"Pray for those who mistreat you." Luke 6:27
Jesus has charged us to represent even our enemies before His Throne of Grace.
 

7. "Lord, make a way for people to live in the dignity and freedom that goes with being made in Your image."

"Live as free men..." 1 Peter 2:16
"Weep and wail, because of the misery that is coming upon you...you who have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.  You have condemned and murdered innocent men..." James 5:1,5,6
Act justly...love mercy...walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8
Every Person on this planet is "God's workmanship. (Ephesians 2:10), worthy of the dignity and respect a "God's image" person should have.

8. "Lord, help Your people model peace in these troubled times, pointing the people around them to Jesus - at a time when hearts are soft."

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." Hebrews 6:19
"Open your eyes and look at fields!  They are ripe for harvest."  John 4:35
This uncertain time is a life-saving moment - when those who belong to Jesus have an unusual window to introduce Him to those who don't.  But the window may not be open for long.

9. "Lord, use world events to open many doors that have been closed to your Gospel."

"The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm."  Nahum 1:3
"Pray that God may open a door for our message..." Colossians 4:3
God's plan is much larger than disarmament, political change, or military victory - He's about getting the Good News of His Son to hearts and places it has never gone!

10. "Lord, bring peace out of all that's happening."

"That we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."1 Timothy 2:2
God has told us that the result He desires in answer to our prayers for our leaders is a climate where peace and righteous- ness can flourish
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective  James 5:16

LETTERS FROM OUR LISTENERS

Melbourne Beach - Love all the music and Bible teaching you make possible.  Thanks to all of you at WCIF.

Palm Bay - Yes ! We will respond to your call for help. I am one of your listeners. I thank God for your work and all the messages I receive and share. Thanks for your lighthearted, cheerful reminders of the broadcasting needs. God supplies all our needs.

Melbourne - Enclosed is my monthly offering for WCIF. I feel continuously blessed being able to listen to your radio station. I can't tell you how many times I have turned on my radio to 106.3 while driving and received just the message I have needed. What a blessing in my life.

Rockledge - Thank you so much for playing great worship music between 4 and 6 am  each morning. We appreciate listening to the news before each hour. I listen to your station every chance I get.

Palm Bay - Sorry this has taken so long to be sent. I've enclosed a check towards my pledge. May your ministry be blessed by God.

Micco - Thank you all for WCIF. This is a great way to serve the Lord.

Longwood - Thank you for the joy you bring to my life. Praise God and keep up your spirits in His work.

Palm Bay - Good day to you and everyone at WCIF. Sorry for just sending in my gift, but it is better to be too late than never and money is never too late. My husband is not working and it's me alone with God's help. My God is so good to me. My prayers are with you all every day.

Melbourne - Enjoy immensely your Christian radio station and programming, especially "Songs in the Night" and "Moody Church Hour". Love to hear the old hymns and traditional songs of the faith. Keep up the wonderful work for our Lord Jesus Christ. Christ will always be first.

Rockledge - I just wanted to let WCIF know that I am thrilled you are airing Bill Fay's "Lets Go." He is so inspiring, I listen to him everyday.  I have bought his material and hope to teach his course this fall at our church.
