Today would have been my dad's 87th birthday. KTPT Radio - "The Point" is 4 years old today. And KSLT Radio is celebrating 25 years of broadcasting. In honor of that, President Obama is signing the Stimulus bill today - well, that may be a stretch!But, it is wonderful to see what God has done over the past 25 years, The picture to the right is the Lown House, the historic building where we started broadcasting. There is a legacy of music and ministry that I have been blessed to be part of.
Today as we talked about "old times" on the air, several long time friends stopped by. Many shared testimony of how God used KSLT in their lives. What an encouragement is these difficult times. We heard how Hills Alive, our Christian music festival since 1985, has been impacting people. The little things make a difference, and what sometimes seemed insignificant in our ministry became a turning point in their lives.It was over 15 years ago that KSLT began working with Mission of Mercy. Now the radio station hosts mission trips and sponsorship events. There are people on the mission field right now as a result of KSLT's involvement in missions.
Over the years, God has used KSLT to touch people in many walks of life, in many areas of the country and around the world. My thanks to all of the staff that have persevered and been dedicated to sharing His Word. And a special thank you to the thousands of people who have made a financial investment in the station over the years. This truly has been a partnership of believers reaching out - believing that we can change the world!
