For such a time as this
You don't have to listen long to Vision to realise that we're very different from 'mainstream' stations. Another less obvious distinction from most other broadcasters is the way that Vision derives it's income.
Although there are a limited number of 'sponsorship announcements' on Vision, we are not a 'commercial' station. In fact less than 10% of our income is from sponsorhip advertising! Unlike other national broadcasters like the ABC and Triple J, we receive no government funding.
So, the question is "how do we pay the bills?" And the answer - "by faith, with your help!". Vision is a listener supported radio network. We operate by faith, believing that God will provide our needs and recognising that He does that through people... So during June - as the financial year comes to a close - we are asking our listeners to show their support and exercise their faith to help us raise $400,000 to go towards:
Help us 'Preach the Word'
Romans 10 says "But how can people call on him if they have not believed in Him? How can they believe in Him if they have not heard His message? How can they hear if no one tells them the Good News?" We believe that UCB Australia (which operates the Vision network) has been raised up by God 'for such a time as this' to preach the Word. We will not be silent - but we can't do it alone. This is a partnership - your prayers and finances enabling us to continue 'in season and out of season; correcting, rebuking and encouraging - with great patience and careful insruction.' (2 Tim 4:2)
Your support does make a difference
If you're wondering whether your prayers and finances really make a difference, here's just one testimony from a Vision listener that makes all of our hard work and your sacrificial support worthwhile: "I would just like to say that I think that you all do a wonderful job and make people like myself feel that you are all just talking to me. You have helped me to make the choice to let God be Saviour. I listen to you 24 hours a day and have my radio going all the time. My family have been having a tough time but with your radio station and my church, you keep us going and we know that God has a plan for us and in time it will come about and we will lead the life that He wants us to live." - M, QLD.
