"I Don't Want to be Lost Anymore..."

Dear Friend,

You never met Jim. But you got in his car and helped him find Jesus.

Jim volunteered to drive me to a youth festival where I was speaking. He said he felt like he already knew me. Because one morning, frustrated by rush hour traffic - and his life, he stumbled on a Christian station.

Jim told me, "It was peaceful there. I liked what I heard. So every morning I kept tuning in when you were on. Until one day I accepted your invitation to ask Christ into my life."

Jesus introduced Himself to Jim in his car - through a daily radio program you help make possible. It's called "A Word With You." In over 1,000 areas of this country, in some 16 countries of the world, you and I are sharing Jesus every day with countless searching people like Jim.

Your praying and your giving enable me to drop in on millions of lives with a daily Jesus-visit. And to be a part of God saving marriages, families, prodigals - and, most importantly, lost souls.

Every day for over 30 years, we've heard from people who were surprised by Jesus through "A Word With You." And now the launch across China in Mandarin brings us to an exciting milestone: "A Word With You" in other-language versions!

It's not recorded sermons - it's a from-the-heart visit. It's not long - just four and a half minutes. A story to draw you in...a Scripture to draw you to Jesus...a "so what" to help you take action on what you've heard.

It is rare among Christian radio programs because it regularly, intentionally presents the Gospel and calls people to Jesus.

But "A Word With You" is about far more than programs.

It's about lives at stake. Because you help make these Jesus-visits possible, you have helped change lives like these:

"I don't want to be lost anymore. I need him in my life." (Indiana)

"For too long I was walking this road alone...Tonight I lay everything at His feet. I'm at the cross." (South Africa)

To the cross. To His empty tomb. To His waiting arms. That's where "A Word With You" takes the listener. And that's why lives are transformed.

But without you - without your praying and your giving - none of these daily media miracles would be possible.

With your gift today, there are so many more we can get to. Would you prayerfully send a gift to extend the reach of this program that is making such a big difference? Your gift will go a long way and do so much.

Centuries ago, Paul said, "Pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly" (2 Thessalonians 3:1). Please join us in that prayer. Because so many slip into eternity every day. And they must have a chance to live forever.

Partnering with you to give them that chance,

Ron Hutchcraft

P.S. You are touching so many lives, day after day, through the radio/Internet outreach of "A Word With You." And your gift now will help expand its reach and bring Jesus to many more hearts.
