We’re sooo excited, and we just can’t hide it… and i know, i know, i know la la la la la la….

This is our first share-a-thon here in the Philippines.  A milestone for us!

See this photo here?  They are college students who came to the station after hearing about the share-a-thon going on.  From their allowances, they have pledged to give $10/month to the station.  Wow!  This floored me personally.  You see, in the Philippines, $10/month is BIG.  And for these students to give & support The Edge showed me that they realize the importance of Christian radio to them and their peers.

Here’s one of their testimonies:

I am so thankful that there is a radio station like The Edge Radio in Davao.  You are my companion everyday.  Listening to you has helped me in my Christian walk.  I am constantly reminded to keep my focus on JESUS, despite being busy with a lot of things.

I pray that there are more lives that your station can touch & more souls will come to God thru you.  God bless your station!  

Cheerfully giving, cheerfully giving, cheerfully giving.  How can I emphasize it more?  God’s beaming a huge smile I’m sure.

Our share-a-thon is still on-going until Sunday and so far we have received around $200/month in pledges.  The biggest donor is no other than the very generous Mr./Mrs. Anonymous.  God bless them abundantly.

Other praise-items to date would be:

1.  A major university here in Davao city has said they would like to re-broadcast our program in their campus radio.  Ateneo de Davao University is a university of close to 20,000 young college students.

2.  A business-woman has sent to the station 12 postdated checks of $20/month!  What a blessing!

3.  A high school student from an indigenous area has pledged $1/month from his allowance.

I can’t express how I am sooo happy today.  Many thanks thanks thanks to the wisdom given by my share-a-thon mentors Gary “The Hoogman” Hoogvliet, Perry Atkinson, Andrew Pitchford, Graham Carter, Chuck Quinley, Ian Worby & John Marks.

The best is yet to come! God is sooo good!

We love you guys!!!
