Stories of how your generosity impacts others like...
Erica
Erica was preparing to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse when a routine surgery changed everything. She suffered a traumatic brain injury that left her with vision loss, weakness, nerve damage, and cognitive challenges. After years of working toward nursing school, she was told she could no longer continue. Erica entered one of the darkest seasons of her life, feeling as though everything she had worked for had been taken away.
At her lowest moment, she turned on Christian Family Radio. As “Help” by Jordan St. Cyr began to play, something broke through the darkness. Erica remembers, “I could feel God’s arms just wrap around me...letting me know that it’s going to be okay.” That moment became the beginning of God breathing new life into her story.
Lori
When Lori won two Holiday World tickets from Christian Family Radio, she thought she had simply won a fun day with her son, Lucas. She invited her niece, Abby, to join them, and on the drive, they listened to CFR. The music sparked conversations about Jesus, faith, and following Him. At one point, Lori played a Christian song from her phone, and just minutes later, the same song played on CFR. Lucas said, “God must be trying to tell one of us something.”
Those conversations continued throughout the day. On the drive home, Abby shared that she wanted to be baptized. A few weeks later, Abby and her mom were baptized together. After seeing what God was doing in their lives, Lucas decided he wanted to be baptized too.
What began with two tickets became three baptisms. God used an ordinary giveaway and the music on CFR to breathe new life into a family. Your giving keeps Christian Family Radio present in everyday moments like these, creating opportunities for the Holy Spirit to do what only He can do.
John
Laurie had been listening to Christian Family Radio for years before her husband, John, began tuning in. What started with Laurie telling him about things she heard on CFR eventually led John to listen for himself.
What kept him listening was the difference he heard: “Christian Family Radio is very unique. It’s not all about entertainment. It’s about leading people to Jesus, showing people the light, showing people the truth, and uplifting people’s lives.”
Over time, listening turned into giving. Their first gift was around $25, which eventually grew into monthly support. As John shared, “There are people out there listening, and that may be the only time they’re going to hear something about Jesus.”
John and Lori give because they know someone listening may desperately need to hear about Jesus. Their faithful giving keeps CFR there for the next person who needs hope, truth, and the life-changing message of Christ.
Breathe On It!
“Breathe On It” by Tauren Wells is a prayer of surrender and expectation. It's an invitation for the Holy Spirit to breathe fresh life into the places that feel empty, broken, or beyond our ability to change.
It reflects a truth we see throughout Scripture: when God breathes, what was lifeless comes alive. What was weary is renewed. What seemed impossible becomes a place for God to move.
It’s a prayer for the Holy Spirit to move with power like the rushing wind of Acts 2 and breathe new life into:
- This city
- Our neighbors
- Our children
- Our families
That’s the heart behind our “Breathe On It” Pledge Drive. We provide the music, messages, and moments—but it is the Holy Spirit who breathes life into them.
