1.)UPDATE ON ERIC HORNER CONCERT

WOW! That was the term used most to describe this talented man and his ministry. Our concert, originally slated for the park, had to be moved to the First UMC due to weather. Even with this obstacle, approximately 400-450 people came. I estimate at least 30-40 were folks who have served or were serving in the military. The VETS Honor Guard did a wonderful job setting the tone of honor and Eric’s lyrics touched the hearts of many, especially as he dedicated the final song to Sgt Ross McGinnis and his family.

Thank you to all who braved the nasty weather to be there. I would appreciate hearing from you if you were blessed. It helps me to know whether to bring him back down the road.

3.) PASTOR’S INVITATION TO SENECA HILLS

To: Members of the Franklin/Oil City Minister & Cranberry Forums

From: Michael Harvey

Re: A visit to Camp

This is my personal invitation to you and any of your staff members or spouses who would like to join you to “come and see”! When summer camp is in full swing, words just can’t capture the impact. You have to see it for yourself.

Please be my guest at either breakfast (8:15 AM), lunch (12:15 PM) or dinner (5:30 PM), Monday through Friday, between the dates of July 7^th and August 15^th. If you choose to come to dinner, please stay for chapel that starts around 8:30 PM each night.

Please call me at (814) 432-3026 or email me at the address below to let me know whether you’ll be joining me and how many will be coming with you.

Serving Christ Together,

Rev. Michael Harvey

Director of Operations

4.) MY APOLOGIES

Every so often I pull a real boo-boo. Please forgive my oversight when sending along the last You Tube video. I understand that while the video was OK, some undesirable videos appeared along the side of this. I forgot that these videos change from time to time and I can never be sure what will pop up so I will try to find another way to share these type of information. I do apologize if this caused anyone concern.

5.) TRUTH PROJECT MATERIALS AVAILABLE

For churches who are considering sending staff or small group leaders to this training event in our area on Sept. 27, I have access to poster, flyers and a 4-min DVD promotional video to show in your churches. This gives a good overview of what the course is all about. I watched the first two teaching sessions of the course and it’s the best training I’ve seen in a long time. Very, very well done and so needed in our churches! You will make no better investment than to train your leadership in this manner.

We are getting in rather late in the promotion of this event (because we just heard about it recently) but if you know for sure you will be using tickets and can let me know by Thursday, July 3, I can still get them for the “Super Early Bird” price of $99 each. After that, the price will be $109 each. Keep in mind, participants will get a free set of DVD’s valued at $79. One must be trained in order to lead this group study. Most of the “teaching” is done via DVD so one doesn’t have to be a super teacher – just willing to be used by the Lord.

I have participated in a conference prayer call across the US with committed church leaders who are praying that this training will be used by God to transform our churches and bring revival to our land. Call me at 437-5355 or email me at stationmanager@wawn.org to reserve your tickets.

6.) ON DEMAND

Are you aware there is an “ON DEMAND” button at www.afr.net that will permit you to construct your own play list of your favorite songs heard on AFR. Once you register by typing your username and password, you can choose from hundreds of song titles. You can sort by Title or Artist to find your favorites and add them to your list. Then, every time you go to the website, your list will come up just like you left it.

This can be a very helpful thing if you have heard a song and you only got part of the lyrics or only know the artist—and you just have to know what that song is :0)

If that doesn’t help, call me and I’ll try to help you find what you are looking for. Just give me a little more to go on than “it’s about Jesus.” :0)

7.) TEEN CHALLENGE CELEBRATES 50 YEARS

If you have been listening to Haven Today on WAWN at 6 a.m., they have been highlighting the 50^th Anniversary of Teen Challenge, a faith-based solution for the drug epidemic. Started by Rev. David Wilkerson, a western Pennsylvania country preacher, this ministry is the only drug rehabilitation program in the nation that boasts an 86% rate of success. Teen Challenge groups have been in this area and their testimonies have been sincere and powerful. What a wonderful program for a church in this area to consider presenting (Hint, hint!) This station would do what we can to help you promote this valuable ministry.

It blesses me to think of this young preacher who left the safety of a small parish to be obedient to God’s call. He risked his life and family to minister to a dangerous culture that didn’t want his message. In comparison, I realize what a wimp I am when I get concerned about being misrepresented in my own hometown – and then I remember this story…..

Henry Varley, a very intimate friend of Mr. Moody in the earlier days of his work, loved to tell how he once said to him: "It remains to be seen what God will do with a man who gives himself up wholly unto Him." When Mr. Henry Varley said that, Mr. Moody said to himself: "Well I will be that man."

9.) THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Editorial Thought: A word of support for our underwriters

Now is the time for the church to hang together! We need to support each other as it’s hard to stand alone. I appreciate all those who support the radio station and the businesses who underwrite. Now is the time to thank them by supporting them with our business. If you hear the name of a business underwriting our programs on the air, a call to encourage them or even better, patronize their business would be a blessing. That helps them to see the benefit of continuing their support.

If you own a business and would like to use your business as a tool the Lord has given you to spread the gospel, let us help you. Rusty would be glad to sit down with you and script a spot that would help get your message out. As we work together, we can build the Kingdom for God’s glory!
