SEPTEMBER · A MONTH OF LEGACY
Who Made a Difference in Your Life?
Every story on the Legacy Wall starts the same way: somebody stayed faithful long enough for the faith to reach the next person. A grandmother who kept praying. A friend who kept calling. Now it's your turn to be that somebody.

From the Wall this Week
"My walk with our Lord Jesus Christ grew exponentially with the encouragement, teaching, mentoring, shepherding by Barbie Larson when I was about 20 years old. Through worship music and Bible study I learned how to apply God’s word to my life, to understand the gift of Jesus’ sacrifice and our Heavenly Father’s plan for my life through and with the guidance, strength and comfort of His I dwelling Holy Spirit. He is the only Giver of all good gifts!! and Barbie was one of those key gifts that put my life upon His path."
Keep it Going · Ever gift is doubled!
A legacy has to be handed on.
Here's what's true about every story on that wall: somebody kept it going. The faith in those stories only got where it got because people ahead of them stayed faithful, and gave, and made sure it didn't stop with them.
Now, a longtime listener has done exactly that. Through October 1, they'll match every gift, dollar for dollar, out of their own pocket. Give fifty and a hundred goes to work. Give a hundred and it's two hundred.
Every dollar keeps this ministry meeting people right where they are. On the radio. On the web. In the earbuds of somebody driving home from a shift they barely made it through.
Every dollar you give is matched!
Your $50 turns into $10. Your $200 turns into $400.
That's real reach going to real people.
