We have so much at WNKJ and WNLJ for which to be thankful.  Please allow me to mention just a few of these. 

Thank you, listeners to WNKJ, WNLJ, and to our translators spread from Dickson to Providence to Murray, for your 30 years of faithfulness.  Our Lord began the work here in Hopkinsville, and has now enlarged the work with an area coverage that extends past the Cumberland River in the South, to the Tradewater River and almost to the Green and Ohio Rivers in the North, and just beyond the Tennessee River in the West.   I suppose that 30 years ago, no one saw the possibility of this ministry expanding as it has, indeed, as the Lord has given the increase. 

What does He have in store for this ministry in the next 30 years? Please pray with us for His guidance and direction.

Thank you, First Baptist Church of Clarksville, Tennessee, for sharing your beautiful facilities with us for our 30th Birthday celebration. Thank you to all of those who attended and celebrated with us.  It was a special and wonderful time of worship and celebration, and, to be honest with you, so much better than I imagined and hoped for.  The adjectives are really inadequate to describe just how large a blessing this event was.  Oh, how gracious is our Saviour!

Thank you, David Virkler, for coming all the way from Towaco, NJ, to bring a message of faith, hope and encouragement.

Thank you, folks in Madisonville who participated in the Sweet Spirit Social.  Thank you for your prayers, persistence and faithfulness in bird-dogging this need and opportunity, now realized in WNKJ's sister station, WNLJ.  

Thank you, Listening Family, who support the work here with your prayers and gifts. Thank you for listening. Thank you for calling in on Prayer Day. Thank you to the busy and over-worked pastors who come in and join us in prayer on Prayer Days.  Only God knows the magnitude of the blessings we at the station receive in your telephone calls and emails.  Thank you for sharing your concerns and your praises with us.

And again, thank you listeners and supporters who have listened to and supported us with your prayers. Thank you for standing with us the last 30 years, and in the days, weeks, months and years to come as we seek to fulfill God's mission.

God Bless.

October 13-14-15 will not only be the 30th WNKJ Care-a-thon, it will be the FIRST to include WNLJ!  For our newer Listening Family members, Care-a-thon is when we present our proposed operating budget for the coming twelve months and ask you to help us meet that need; and it’s when we ask our Listening Family to please do these three things:

REFLECT on what WNKJ – and now, WNLJ - has meant to you and to those you know - and how different life would be without them – because that is what would happen without the financial support of our Listening Family.

PRAY and DECIDE how our Lord would have you give to support WNKJ and WNLJ.  Please remember - there are no funds from any source other than God's people to keep the stations, our translators and our web site streaming on the air 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

INFORM us of your decision by filling out the enclosed Faith Pledge card and mailing it to us.  We NEVER presume that your past support automatically means future support, because we don’t know your situation and how it might have changed (hopefully for the better!), so we need you to tell us each year.  You can also make your Faith Pledge at our web site, www.wnkj.org , and you can make your donations there, too.  

But wait!  There’s more! 

If there is any way you can, please visit us during Care-a-thon.  We are located at 1100 East 18th Street in Hopkinsville, and we will gladly give directions.  Since WNKJ and WNLJ are personally supported by the gifts of our Listening Family, and only by those gifts, we make Care-a-thon a large Family Reunion. 

We have refreshments; tours of the station; the chance to renew old friendships and make new ones and to see what we do and where and how we do it; and there’s the overall excitement of our Family working together toward a single purpose – which is spreading the unchanging Gospel of Jesus Christ twenty-four hours every day, seven days every week, all year long, over the air and on the internet. (Plus, if you have never been here during a "Jehovah Jireh", you really, really ought to plan to visit us at least once during Care-a-thon.)

Another very important way to be part of Care-a-thon is to call our Testimony Line at 214-494-9655 and record a brief testimony of what WNKJ and WNLJ mean to you.  Hearing your voice will be a tremendous encouragement to us as well as to the rest of the Listening Family.  (The testimonies are also great for Penned from the Heart.)

Our regular phone numbers are: (270) 885-9655 and 886-9655, and we have our toll-free number at 1-877-885-9655.  The last four numbers spell W - N - K - J, because the World Needs King Jesus! 

If you just can't be here physically, please listen as much as you can, and pray with us that God will supply our need for the coming year.  If you have computer access, you can always listen on line at our web site: www.wnkj.org  - and did I mention that you can make your Faith Pledge and your donations there, too, using PayPal or your credit card? (However, we are not set up to take credit card donations over the phone. 

Someone has said that if Christians really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless.  Have you seen the report that during WW II, an advisor to Prime Minister Winston Churchill organized a group of people who stopped what they were doing for one minute at a prescribed hour each day to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people, and for peace?  What if Christians in this country (that’s us) did the same thing, say, at 8:00 PM Central Time, and spent one whole minute praying for the safety of the United States, our military, our citizens, and for a return to Godliness in our nation?  Might be worth a try; our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

This is a bit embarrassing, but if you have been checking the printed program guide, or the one on the web page, you can’t help but have noticed that it is “not entirely accurate” (a semi-tactful way of saying that I let it get w-a-y out of date).  We will be remedying this situation as soon as one or two more decisions are made.  The web page schedule should be up to date by the time you get this letter, and we will be printing new program guides in time for Care-a-thon. 

However, we do plan to use up our current WNKJ letterhead stationery, which has the frequency for WNLJ, but not the call letters, before we order any more.  Some call that cheap; I prefer frugal – and it does save some trees.

Speaking of the Front Porch – which we weren’t but are now (more of my weird sense of humor, occasionally the source of trouble….), many thanks to Nancy Wilkinson, who was our Thursday “Good Friend” for some time, and to Beth Young, who is filling in until November after Nancy had to step down due to accelerating commitments, and now to the “Dynamic Duo” of Tammy Carr and Brooke Dunn, who will pick up the Thursday baton as the “Kingdom Housewives”, reaching out to the ladies of our Listening Family.  If you would like to send a note to any of these fine Christian ladies, you can do it in care of WNKJ, PO Box 1029, Hopkinsville, KY 42241, and we will forward your correspondence directly to them.  E-mails can be sent via our web site, www.wnkj.org, and they will be forwarded also.

Blessings.
