Date: 11/20/2009 7:07 AM Submitted By: Tina Halstead Story: During the last pledge drive I felt compelled to give $32/mo even though this was nearly 20% of my monthly income, I felt God would fill in the hole that it left in my income. I listen to air1 daily and felt I needed to give. The day I made my pledge the radio station went out (dead air) in my car and online too. I started to wonder if I should pull my pledge since I couldn't listen anymore. My husband said "you know honey,Satan isn't beneath scrambling a radio station" well it got me thinking, and I decided if that was the case then...."Game on Satan, you're not winning this one" I decided to continue my pledge if only to bless others that COULD listen, the station remained gone for several weeks and the day after I decided I was giving to air1 no matter what, that following morning I checked the preset air1 station in my car and sure enough, it was back! My kids and I praised God on the spot,and thanked him for giving us back our station. Thank you for your ministry and I will continue to give "no matter what"! Tina Halstead Conneaut, OH

Date: 11/19/2009 1:33 PM Submitted By: Alisa Ford Story: I am a 17 year old mom. I use to cut myself when I would get mad or upset, and I had an eating disorder. One year I went to a church camp and the speaker there talked about all the things I was going through, and I prayed about my habits and it wasn't too long after that, that God helped me to stop cutting and to start eating. That all happened before I had my daughter at the age of 16. It was a hard road to go down, but I had my family and church group there with me the entire time. Now I am a 17 year old mom that is doing everything I can to please God and to share my story with others. I know God forgave me for all that I did and now I want others to know Him the way I do. I know that He loves me even with all that I have done and that's what pushes me through each day to do my best as a mom and as a teenage christian.

After Chico Christian i went to a public school and was introduced to a lot of things. I graduated 8th grade and then went to Chico High up until the last quarter because my friends were not great and i was doing things i shouldn't have.So I was introduced to a christian high school and chose to go there i am continuing to go to this school and I'm growing in my faith in god everyday. I praise god for all the miracles in my life and i will continue to grow in my faith in him and share his word with others in need. God Bless You All.

Date: 11/18/2009 1:54 PM Submitted By: chris dominy Story: i grew up in church. my parents were always in the ministry and still are. i got saved when i was 9 years old and everything was fine until junior high. through out my high school years i battled anger and unforgiveness. these sins lead to others including but not limited pornagraphy addiction. All throughout school i hid these sins well, while still attending church regularly. I met my wife my senior year of high school and we made a commitment to God and each other that we would wait until marriage to have sex. We both made the choice to break that convenant and in return God gave us our beautiful daughter. we were in our early twenties and married with an infant. we were burned out on church because of offenses. But GOD didn't give up on us. I am proud to say that my wife and i are now involved heavily in our church. There is no more unforgiveness or addictions. We are completely sold out to God. My wife has been teaching a class in our church for young mothers. and i am involved with the youth program. We made the decsion to follow after God instead on all we had looked to before. He loves us when we dont deserve it. I anm thankful everyday for God saving me and for using stations like yours to encourage believers who stumble at times but still get up am press on. With God WE WIN!

Date: 11/18/2009 10:09 AM Submitted By: Briana Darger Story: I justed wanted to share how I came to listen to Air 1. I've grown up a Christian and am still growing closer to the Lord everyday. I started Listening to K-LOVE about five years ago and really enjoyed the music. It brought me close to God everyday and was a continual source of peace for me. However, as a high schooler I felt kind of "out of the loop" listening to primarily Christian music... I alternated between christian radio and hip hop/alternative. Eventually I listened to christian radio less...This had a big impact on my spiritual life. I LOVE to sing..always...and when I started filling my day singing songs that didn't focus on God or anything spiritually uplifting my time spent with God daily essentially dropped. Over time I found that my attitude was also greatly affected by my music choice. I was so bothered that there were no local christian stations that played music that catered to teens. One day I turned to 90.5(K-LOVE) and it had a recording that said their radio station changed to 101.9 and soon Air 1 Christian Alternative was going to be played. I had never been more excited in my life! Now I listen to Air 1 all day everyday. I am so thankful for your station and cannot express how much of a blessing you are to countless people. Thank you so much for all that you do!!!! p.s. JESUS ROX!!!!!!

Date: 11/17/2009 8:43 AM Submitted By: Renee Strom Story: I lived with my drug addicted mother in Las Vegas living in a trailer park. I was only three. I had no food and my clothes were little more than rags. I lived like this until I was six when we lost our trailer and I was picked up by a social worker, who took me to and orphange. I had no way of knowing what was happening and It scared me.I stayed in the orphanage for a little over four months unitl my great-aunt was contacted as my next of kin. I was put on a plane and flown to California where my Aunt and her sister in law picked me up. They drove all the way to Bend where I began my new life without my druggy mother. I didnt figure out unitl I was ten and I had a BBBS mentor who was Christian that It was God who saved me from the horrable life. My mentor took me to youth group one wedesday and there I learned about God.I wasnt really into it unitl I met my boyfriend my freshmen year of high school. He invited me to his youth group and I thought why not? So I went and I had a great time. So I continued to attend with my boyfriend and with him and his youth leaders as my guides, I learned to live for God. I am sixteen, a junior and I am now the student leader for my church.

Date: 11/16/2009 4:34 AM Submitted By: Loni Botterell Story: In the middle of September, my husband decided he needed a break and left me and the children. I was unemployed, and he didn't pay the car payment so the car was reposessed. During this time I was already dealing with the fact that my oldest daughter was in a group home due to her violent behaviors. I truly felt as if there was nothing left I could give. Shortly after my pity party Kutless' new song "What Faith Can do" was played and I cried... It was the first time I realized that I was not in control and like all the other trials God has had me face He was in control of this one as well. The line from the song that I have made my motto is "impossible is not a word, just a reason not to try" I since have gotten a job, have a vehicle to use and my husband and I are "dating" once again. He is not home yet, but God is in control and His timing is perfect! I just wanted to share what a blessing it was to have such a life changing song played... thank you very much for all you do!
