Hi, this is Ian Worby, CEO of United Christian Broadcasters.
Well our end of financial year appeal has drawn to a close with over 2,800 people responding to the call, giving over $385,000. I'm reminded of how the Apostle Paul described gifts the Philippians had given him... he called them "a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice", and "pleasing to God". ...many had given sacrificially and so he went on to assure them that "God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus".
Likewise, I am confident that as you have given - perhaps sacrificially - that God will indeed meet the needs of you and your family.
It’s been a real encouragement to me and the whole team to know that you're right behind Vision Radio Network, The Word for Today and our other ministry activities. below are just a few of the many testomonies we have received during the appeal, which I hope will be an encouragement to you also.
Regards,
Ian Worby
Chief Executive Officer
