2 Requests

From my friend Scott this afternoon:

Hello friends,
Two requests for you today, if you don't mind.
Our friend Rick Sadler oversees a Charlottesville-based ministry that is the liason for Arise Africa, the folks with whom we work in Uganda. Please pray for a web person for Mission Link. They need someone to manage their website...I am wondering if I am the guy but I have little website experience and would need to learn a lot. This is a volunteer position and would mainly involve keeping the site updated, as I understand it and could be done from anyway. I have a plan to promote the ministry but we need to get the site current and keep it that way! (I'm not affiliated with MLI, just trying to help) I won't put the link in this email in case a spam filter might block it but you can do a search for Mission Link International Charlottesville and find their website.

The second request is for the folks at Spirit FM. Fourteen years ago this month, a fledgling radio station went on the air serving the Lynchburg/Roanoke area with contemporary Christian music. I was among its early listeners, curious about the music and even more so about the message. God used the music and ministry of that station to change my life. (I could write a lot about that!) Since those early days, Spirit FM has grown to become a regional Christian network of stations serving an audience much larger than they ever imagined. As a non-profit entity, it depends on gifts primarily for the operating costs. God has met the needs of the ministry and will continue to provide as long as He intends to use this instrument of His grace and love. However, I was moved to share with the public that Spirit FM has an immediate, urgent need-a new transmitter! I am not employed by nor affiliated with Spirit FM. I had planned to write a letter to the editors of the Roanoke and Lynchburg papers to hopefully draw attention to their need but cannot because I work for another station. So I decided to ask you to pray for this need. We are fortunate to be served by a number of Christian radio stations in the area and Spirit FM is meeting a need here. You may not listen to them nor appreciate the style of music, but if you believe in the message, support them at least with your prayers for this most important need, the ability to stay on the air!

Two different needs, both of which are answering Jesus' call to "go make disciples…".
Thanks for your prayers and may the Lord meet your needs in unexpected way!
Scott
