Get ready! God is Doing Something Wonderful Through WRAF…

He is changing lives… will you join Him?

The faith-promises are rolling in from those who received our Care-a-thon mailing and along with them are letters of how this ministry is being used by the Holy Spirit to convict people of their need for a deeper walk with Christ.

Families are finding the strength to stay together as the daily encouragement of Toccoa Falls Radio reminds them not to give up. Young listeners are sensing God’s call to the mission field as the Lord is using the preaching and teaching of His Word on the radio. And elderly friends find comfort from the warm familiar voices and inspirational music.

What’s your story? Let us know and remember we need your support as Care-a-thon 2010 begins Monday. Join us in praying for the Holy Spirit to have His way with all of us as together we seek to build God’s kingdom.

Care-a-thon Prayer Focus for Tuesday

In 1 Corinthians chapter 2, The Apostle Paul reminds us that his speech and preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. Zechariah the Old Testament prophet made it clear that we cannot accomplish the work God has for us by our own efforts and human ingenuity when he penned; “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit,” says the Lord.

As WRAF prepares for Care-a-thon 2010 next Monday we are rounding up prayer support to make sure that this work of God is done His way. Please join us in praying for Toccoa Falls Radio to have a continual dependence on God to work in and through us. Jesus himself said, “Without Me you can do nothing!” We need God’s Holy Spirit to work in this ministry now more than ever. Together, let’s seek His outpouring.

Win "Secrets of the Mountain" DVD

WRAF has teamed up with our friends at Focus On The Family to give away the new "Secrets of the Mountain" DVD. Listen to The Morning Show with Mike to win your copy.

Somewhere between the demands of her career, her ex’s wedding and her kids’ busy schedules, Dana James (Paige Turco, The Agency) is noticing her tight-knit family starting to unravel. An unexpected offer to purchase her family’s mountain property sets up a weekend road trip, which she hopes will bring her family back together. But when they arrive, they quickly learn that the mountain is much more than it seems. An ancient secret and a treacherous quest will test the family like never before. It’s an edge-of-the seat thriller that reminds us that when times are tough, families don’t run away from problems – they run back to each other.
