Today's show focuses on the home stretch of our September partnership with GFA World to help fund national missionaries throughout Africa & Asia.

Our station family goal is to sponsor 20 national missionaries; entering today, we're about halfway there, which we're very grateful for! A $540 one-time gift (or $45/month for a year) can cover the costs of one of the 10 missionaries remaining. Your prayers are appreciated as we close things out, and to help on any level (1 missionary, towards a missionary, or multiple missionaries) it's 866-659-7361 or by clicking here (where you can also see some of the national missionaries we're aiming to sponsor).
