It is hard to believe that May is here. In our family May is a big month because not only do I have two cousins who have birthdays but my mom's birthday is this month also. I have to brag a little on my mom. She is a godly woman who is behind my dad 100%. I don't know what my dad would do without her. She carries so many jobs not just at work but she also takes care of her mother and her own family as well. I am very thankful for my mother and all she does. She will definitely be rewarded someday!

We are in the process of editing our newest program on Israel. Speaking of which ,today is the anniversary of the state of Israel. What a day that was for them 60 years ago. I hope you will tune into our program because no one else has the footage and the material that we do on the subject of Israel.

One last thing I want to comment on is how saddened I am to hear about the earthquake in China and the disasters that have happened in many places overseas and here in the US. It just goes to show that we are getting closer to the Lord's return. The Bible talks about earthquakes and disasters that will happen in the end times. I hope that you are ready like I am for the Lord's return! How exciting to know how close it could be!

My how time flies and I forgot that it had been a whole month since I had written. In April my parents flew to Israel and taped for over two weeks a series with Dr. Jimmy DeYoung that we are going to start airing on May 11. It is going to be on the 60th anniversary of Israel and I hope you will tune in because there is some great information. Meanwhile, we have been busy at the office doing tapings and our series right now on Islam has gone very well. I have loved talking to new people that have never seen the show!

This past weekend we went to a conference in Branson MO. That was my first time there and it was beautiful. My dad spoke along with Dr. David Jeremiah, Kay Arthur and Norman Geisler just to name a few. Many people were saved and that was wonderful to see! We were not able to see any shows but we went to a restaurant that Andy Williams owns and it was great food. He still comes in every day and checks what is on the menu and he performs six nights a week and sings for an hour. He is remarkable at the age he is. So, if you ever go to Branson go to the Moon River cafe. It was great!

You have not heard from me because I was on vacation last week in Hilton Head Island. It was beautiful weather and a much needed break! So, this week has been catch up for me. We are getting ready to do some programs that have to do with Israel and so mom and dad are traveling right now both here and overseas.

The work has been busy and it is not stop. We have had a good response to our current program which is on the Protestans and Catholics and what they agree on and disagree on. It has brought about some interesting calls. Our next program we are going to is going to be on Islam. I love the Islam series we did because the two brothers we had on were former muslims and to hear their story of how they came to know the Lord is so fascinating. This information is so good and I hope you will tune in to hear it.

I almost forgot that it has been awhile since I have updated what has been happening. This past weekend we went to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention which was held in Nashville TN. It was a great weekend and we were able to hear the President of The US too! He came and spoke for our group on Tuesday. What a sincere man. Whether you voted for him or not, he is a man of God. He gave his testimony of how he came to know the Lord and he talked about things with the war and then he ended with how much of a pleasure it was to serve all of us over the past couple of years. I have never heard a president say what a pleasure it was to serve.

I am not trying to be political but there are a lot of issues that are important with this next election. Not just about picking the right judges or taking a stand for life, but also issues with us as broadcasters that may no longer be able to broadcast because of hate crimes and the fairness doctrine. So, we need to start praying now for the right person to be put in.

I want to say thank you for your support in the past few weeks - we have received many donations to help our financial crisi and we are very thankful. Last night I read in Philippians the verse that says "But My God Shall supply all your needs". How true this is. The Lord does come through for us in His timing.

We have seen many miracles and it is only through the Lord that these things happen. I don't know what we would do without Him. What a God we serve.

On a political note I attended a dinner this past weekend for Republicans. It was very informative especially about the presidential race and we had some of our senators there that represent our state. In my spare time I try to get involved with a group here called the Young Republicans. I enjoy it because you get to hear what is happening with the party that I vote for.

Well, continue to pray for our ministry this week. My dad is getting ready to do some other projects and they require time and money. Continue also to pray for his strength each day - he definitely needs it!

I want to say thank you to the ones who have sent in donations to our ministry. It is a good start but we are not to our goal yet.

We are working on many projects that are coming up so I hope that you will pray for the ministry and for my dad in all that he is doing.

He is doing well and has more strength now. It has been over a year and the recovery time has gone very well.

We have had many people to write in and say how much the program has meant to them. One lady wrote and said she got saved at a meeting my dad did in Maryland. It is so wonderful to hear about how the ministry has touched people. That is why we are here and we will not stop until the Lord says it is time.

Well, it has been a few days since I have written. It has been very busy at our office. One thing we are facing is the financial difficulties. In our ministry, we face this a lot. During the times when you think that you are done, the Lord comes through for you and He already knows these things will happen.

I decided on my own to give more than half of what I make to our ministry. I did not do that to bring attention to myself. I gave because it is God's money and not mine. I am a person who gives continually and I want to help people. We have a need and I felt the Lord telling me to give. That is exactly what I did.

I want to say thank you for those of you who stand behind our ministry. If you really knew my dad you would see how much his heart is in this ministry and we are here for you and to help you in your christian walk. We follow the verse that says "Be Ready to give an answer". We want to equip others with what to say.
