May 20, 2015 Dear Station Manager:

Lives are being changed daily as a result of your partnership with Our Daily Bread Ministries! This past month, Bill Houston of Sport.org received a personal note from a listener named Roger in Grand Island, Nebraska. Roger wrote,

“I have been listening to Sport.org for several weeks. I gain new insights every time I listen that I can apply to my life. After a recent program, I got down on my knees, confessed my sins, repented, and asked Jesus to be part of my life. Thanks to God’s grace and mercy, you showed me His love. I am a new Christian because of your efforts.”

Thank you for your part in bringing the hope and healing found in God’s Word to listeners in

your community! Just a few weeks ago, nearly 1,000 attendees gathered for the first ever Our Daily Bread Ministries 1-Day Bible Conference in Southfield, Michigan. Special guest teachers included Discover the Word’s own Bill Crowder and Sport.org Chaplain Marvin Williams. God used each author and Bible teacher in a unique way to challenge, encourage and inspire His people to live with purpose.

Thank you to Frank Franciosi and the team at WRDT and

WMUZ for helping promote this special event! Our Daily Bread Ministries is actively planning breakfast and dinner events for pastors across the country. To bring the ministry to your community, simply email your interest to info@kempandcompany.cc.

We are honored to count your station as a distinguished partner in ministry. Thank you for all you do to share God’s Word with men and women in your community through the radio broadcasts Discover the Word, Sport.org, Words to Live By, and Our Daily Bread Radio! Sincerely,

Jessica Suggs and Melissa Carlson Your Media Services Team
