It has been just over 2 weeks since we launched WTTR, and to say that it has all been a whirlwind is an understatement.
For those of you that we have heard from - we want to say, with an indescribable amount of gratitude, "Thank you" for your "Thank You's." We are humbled by your sentiments. We do not have words to express what your kind messages and words of encouragement mean to us, and for us. It has been overwhelming, in the best way possible.
We have heard from many who are thankful to have a radio station where they can not only hear the word of truth rightly divided, but also enjoy Grace music.
Adrienne from Upper Marlboro, MD writes, "I am so happy to have grace music to listen to. Once my MUD was straightened out I could no longer tolerate our local Christian radio stations. Thank you, I am so grateful for your ministry."
To those of you who have sent us your own personal testimonies, please know that your story is being heard. You may just be the very reason someone out there decides to believe the gospel and be saved.
We would like to share some of our most recent stats since the launch date of WTTR:
Our primary goal for WTTR has been to reach even more people with the Word of Reconciliation. -To preach the gospel of our salvation to as many people as possible, by using a new (and hopefully more effective) method of outreach.
That being said, we continue to hold on to the truth of the matter: As far as we are concerned, if just one person is saved, if just one member of the Body of Christ is edified, encouraged, or comforted - the work that has been put into this project is well worth it.
The comment below is an example of the very reason why we do what we do.
People are being saved and set free by the Word of Reconciliation.
This is reason for every single member of the Body of Christ to rejoice!
Dear ministers of Reconciliation: We hope that you will be encouraged to continue to preach the Best News Ever to any and all and as often as you can.
The world needs to hear this truth. You all have your own individual talents and experiences that can lend to your own creative way of preaching this glorious gospel of Grace. Tap into those things, by using what you already know how to do and incorporate the Word of Reconciliation into that thing. It takes all kinds of people, from all different walks of life, with different life experiences, and different outreach methods - to reach out to others in a way that will resonate with them.
There isn't just "one method" of preaching the gospel. But to do so effectively, you have to meet people wherever they are in their own lives, giving them the truth of what was accomplished for us all by the finished crosswork of Christ, in a way that they can understand and believe.
Our Apostle Paul says this in 1 Corinthians 9:18-22:
What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak:
I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
By what "means" will you preach the gospel? From behind a pulpit? By engaging on social media? By creating graphics or memes? On a street corner? At a county fair? From a seat in a coffee shop? In a prison? At a rehab center? By writing poetry, or starting a blog? On a college campus? By handing out tracts? By writing songs? Will you share your own story of how you came to saving faith? Will you rent out a billboard? Will you start a conversation with the person who sits next to you on a park bench, bus, or in a waiting room? Will you start a study group? Will you lead a horseback trail ride and preach the gospel to the other riders? Will you shout it from the rooftops to the masses, or will you carefully whisper it to someone in a quiet place?
Ultimately, it doesn't matter which method you choose to tell others what Christ did for them - just as long as you do it.
And you can do it.
