The Continuing Miracle

We are sharing the truth that Family Life has shouted from the rooftops since the organization’s beginning – “To God be the glory, great things He has done!” As Dick Snavely, founder of the ministry used to share, “As long as we keep giving God the glory, He will continue to bless!” We have witnessed that truth multiple times throughout Family Life’s history!

Sharathon Budget: $2.85 million

Family Life Sharathons are the primary way of raising the financial support needed to cover the ministry’s monthly operating costs. The Fall Sharathon will take place as a live, on-air event from Oct 6th – 9th, where announcers share how God works through the various arms of ministry, popular music artists and program hosts are interviewed, and uplifting music is played.

God is just that Good!

There are many stories of lives that have been changed and miracles that have been experienced at God’s ministry at Family Life.

Family Life was in dire need of a new truck for the ministry’s Engineering Department. With cash flow for general expenses always being low during the summer months, we asked the Lord to once again provide. The same day that we received the price for the truck, a friend of the ministry walked into Family Life’s headquarters and handed us a check that covered the truck. God is Just That Good!

A woman who had listened to Family Life for many years in northeastern Pennsylvania wanted to honor her father and brother who had been killed in an automobile accident. She was a Share-A-Day partner with Family Life and used that opportunity for a brief message to be aired on the radio network. However, she moved out of the listening area prior to her Share-A-Day spot was to be read. While driving in Lancaster County, PA she “felt God nudge” to turn on the radio to the frequency she had previously listened to. At that moment, Family Life came in loud and clear and the tribute to her father and brother played on the radio. When that short spot concluded, the radio became all static. God is Just That Good!

Family Life recently purchased a radio station licensed to Ellwood City, PA as part of our “We Believe in Miracles!” campaign. Shortly after finalizing this purchase, the broker contacted us and said we should look at another station in western Pennsylvania. This station has a much larger outreach than the Ellwood City station has, and so we thought it would be way out of our reach. I told the broker that the only way we could ever consider such a purchase would be if three things happened and God is Just That Good as all three of those conditions were miraculously met!

500 for 5 Prayer Needs

During each day of the Sharathon, we ask that you would take 5 minutes a day to partner with us in prayer over the following list.

Thank the Lord that the Spring Sharathon goal has been met. Pray that God would miraculously provide for the upcoming Fall Sharathon as the ministry’s need is greater than ever before.

Thank God for the wonderful staff that He has assembled at His work at Family Life. Pray for the number of potential staff candidates that the ministry is interviewing to fill much needed positions.

Thank the Lord for blessing abundantly more than we could have ever imagined with new radio signals that will reach nearly 4,000,000 more potential listeners. Pray that God would speak to the hearts of many in these new areas to help support the ministry as the expenses are great to broadcast on these new stations.

Thank God for the wonderful Board of Directors that He has led to provide wisdom and input into the direction of the ministry. Pray that the Lord would direct the thinking and planning of these twelve individuals so that we might know His leading for the future of the ministry.

Thank the Lord for the Performing Arts Department at Family Life and for the wonderful Youth Theatre Workshop programs that they oversaw this past summer. Pray that God would help this team as they prepare for a large production of “A Christmas Carol” coming during the upcoming holiday season.

Thank God for those in Family Life’s Events Department who work so diligently in setting up all the sponsored and co-sponsored events that the ministry is involved with throughout the two-state region. Pray that the Lord would keep them safe as this team travels thousands of miles each year doing such a great work.

Thank the Lord that He has provided a third full-time engineer to help this department with keeping all the radio signals running at full capacity. Pray that God would protect them as much of their work has a significant danger element to it.

Thank God that He has provided the property for a new headquarters for Family Life in the Corning, NY area. Pray that the Lord would miraculously provide the millions of dollars needed to take the next step in constructing the building.

Thank the Lord for the thousands of people who get involved each year in supporting Family Life through their prayers and financial contributions. Pray that God would touch the hearts of 10,000 contributors during the Fall Sharathon.

Thank God that His blessing and favor have been upon His work at Family Life for nearly 70 years now. Pray that the ministry will continue to be under the spigot of His blessing and that everything that is done at Family Life will bring Him glory!

It truly takes a family of supporters to meet the needs of the ministry!
