Christian radio stations reach out to U-S troops.

USA (MNN) — Two Christian radio stations in the United States are doing what they can to not only support U-S troops, but give them a chance to hear the Gospel. 88.3 FM WAYK, Kalamazoo, Michigan and 89.9 FM WAYG, Grand Rapids, Michigan made the project part of the annual Sharathon fundraiser.

Rich Anderson is the station manager of WAYK, known as WAY-fm in the area. “Anybody that gave 10-dollars or more to WAY-FM, we set aside a part of that to send one CD to somebody serving the U-S military overseas. We managed to muster enough pledges to send about 3,500 CD overseas.”

Anderson says the government is actually paying for the CD’s to be shipped to service men and women serving their country. He says the CD was just a part of it. “With each CD is just a little piece that says, ‘we appreciate what you’re doing, serving our country and serving us and we’re praying for you and we’re thinking about you and here’s just a small token of our appreciation. And, by the way if you have any question about what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, or just want to dialogue with someone back home, here’s our personal email addresses,” says Anderson.

As men and women die in the war on terror, Anderson says this presents great ministry opportunities. “You hear a lot of people say, ‘there are no atheists in a fox holes. You get put in a crisis situation like a lot of these men and women are when they’re on the front lines. You start thinking about spiritual things and this is just one little tool to help plant the seed.
