As a business professional, I am out of town traveling 2 days a week minimum. I want to praise God for KLOV and other Christian stations on the air. As a man, temptation is everywhere when you arrive in a new city, hotel room, etc. To keep me accountable to God and my family, when I enter my hotel room, I log on to the internet and turn on KLOV online. Hearing the worship music supports my heart and comforts me so that I may stay pure in my actions. Sin is always waiting for me whenever I travel. I challenge all men to turn on KLOV while on the road, call your family often and even do a web video call with your family before you go to bed. Your family needs to know they are on your heart and in your mind. Let your wife be the last person you see that night before you go to bed. Keep up the fight men. It is a battle on the road.

I had been listening to KLove for several years as a new Christian when God placed a burden on my heart to give to your organization in 2007. As soon as I made that commitment to giving $20 a month I felt the burden lift and a huge sigh of relief came over me. I realized at that time what a huge impact the awesome music, the encouraging word and the positive stories shared on KLove made in my life, and I am sooooooooooo grateful. Also God revealed to me that the lives of many souls are saved through this radio ministry. It is wonderful to know that I am making a difference in this world through my donations to KLove. I only wish I could give more. I want to encourage the people in front of and behind the scenes at KLove and all the musicians to keep up the good work. I am truly encouraged by you and what you are doing to reach the lost for Christ. May the Lord continue to bless you and your ministry abundantly. Thank you, again!!!

Story:
I had a "colorful" childhood and became addicted to meth at a very young age landing myself in and out of jails and finally in prison from 2004-2009. While I was younger I knew who God was but did not have a relationship with Him or His Son. While in prison, I read my Bible, but never HEARD it or headed its message. In the last year of my incarceration I took an Overcoming Addictions class based on the book by Dr. Neil Anderson. This was the beginning of my reconciliation with Christ. The teacher, Ms. Janine Serfazo, was patient, kind, loving, accepting, encouraging, and understanding. She emulated the love we are told to have for one another and her character intrigued me to delve more deeply into my Bible. I continued at a half-hearted search for Christ and one year later was blessed with another resident very strong in her walk with the Savior. Her name was Christy Stuart. These women have urged me to become stronger in my faith, to build and nurture a RELATIONSHIP with Christ and the Father, and to fellowship with other believers who are living the word in their lives with their actions. I just wanted to thank Ms. Serfazo and Mrs. Stuart for encouraging me on the inside and thank KLOVE and Faith Chapel in Billings, MT for helping me to stay connected to God through the struggles of readjusting to life. God was behind my conversion, but you each helped. Thank you!

Story:
I started using drugs when I was 12. I grew up in a home of drug addicts, witchcraft, and abuse. I was an alcoholic by the age of 15. By the time I was 21 I had been married, divorced, had one child, and was addicted to drugs. By the time I was 27 I had 2 children, had lost them, had been to jail 5 times, in and out of numerous rehab programs, mental hospitals, was involved in prostitution, and was waiting to die, but I cried out to God in dispair and begged Him to save me and give my children their mother back. Soon after that a boyfriend moved in with me. He had been in prison before we met and while he was in there he met a couple who had come into the prison thru a ministry. When he got out of prison he became friends with them. One morning my boyfriend realized I was going to die soon and he called that couple and asked if they would help me. They came to my home and took me to their home where they shared Christ with me. They prayed for me and God took away my drug addiction instantly & miraculously. They asked me to live with them and they showed me by example how to live for Christ for 2 years. God's love for me through them healed me. I am a new person today and have a life I never imagined possible.

My father passed in June.It was a very bad time for me. Some days the pain was more then I could bear. I was talking to a freind and she said to pray. Pray? I never really prayed.I know people would say I'll pray for you and I thought, well ok then I don't have too.I started praying that day. Each day after and the more I prayed, it seemed like it was getting more bearable. Then I prayed for god to lead me to him. Everynight for three months. One day at my daughters game this woman came up complaining how sports were interfering with Church. So out of conversation I started asking her questions. Never thinking for a moment that this person would change my life forever. After our conversation she asked me to go to church with her the next day. I was like ok, sounds great, but had no intentions. She calls me the next day and I made up every excuse. She did not take no for an answer,she was at my door in 1/2 hour. I went and my prayers were answered. I loved it. The next day I got a phone call from her that she had something for me. I go and here she bought me a bible,devotionals,jounals, not just for me, but for my children.We are now in church at least twice a week. God answered my Prayers.

My wife and I have been married 6 years now. I am 37, she is 35. She has been a Christian her whole life. I have been a Christian about 3 years now. I gave my life to Christ one week after my mother passed away. I felt so alone and sad and while weeping I would loudly ask "why". My wife put her arm around me and told me to ask God. She urged me for two years to accept Christ as my savior. She provided me with the knowledge I needed to understand the love of Jesus Christ. When I finally accepted Him I felt as though the weight of the world had been lifted from me. It's been the best 3 years of my life.
This past July, my wife was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Obviously, we were both devastated. We spent several days crying and praying together, but not once did we ask God, "why?". Instead, we have prayed together thanking God for what He has provided for us, such as our two beautiful kids (ages 3 years and 6 months). We also constantly pray for healing which I believe He can provide. I don't know what the Lord has in store for our future here on this Earth, but I do look forward to eternity in Heaven.
My wife's patience and love for me and God brought me to Christ. That is a gift that I will always be thankful for.

Story:
I was adopted at the age of 2 1/2 years. My adopted parents took me out of a life of alcohol abuse and only God knows what else was going on. I knew about Jesus from a very young age. Until about three years ago I decided to live for Jesus, instead of just going to church and going through the motions. I started reaching out to people I might have hurt and to people who have hurt me. I smile and speak to people to everyone, I also try to compliment them in some way. I was recently laid off. Years ago when I lost a job I would be upset with God. This time I'm going to enjoy my time off, enjoy my children and let God decide what type of job He wants for me. Maybe the mission field may be where He wants me to be.
Thanks KLOVE for the inspiration and motivation you give me every day. Vonda

My husband had a salary cut this year that has had a big impact on our household budget. We can only spend money on necessities such as bills,food and gas right now and with four kids ages 6-16 it's been tough. My two boys ages 6 and 10 both needed new Bibles as theirs were either falling apart or in he case of my 6 year old, too young for him. The boys knew which Bibles they would like so we looked online to price the NIV Adventure Bible and The Little Kids Adventure Bible but they were too expensive to purchase right now. I told them we would get them as soon as we had some extra money. They were disappointed but understood. The next day I stopped in a thriftstore to look around and was browsing the books and guess what I found???The Little Kids Adventure Bible right next to The NIV Adventure Bible!!! They were in excellent shape so I purchased them for $3.50 and could not wait for the boys to get home from school to show them. When they came home and saw the Bibles they were sooo excited and when I shared how God provided them they were amazed. We all said a prayer of thanks to our Lord who provides for us in ways only he can!!!

I first heard of KLOVE eight years ago when our family moved to Arizona, my husband found it on the radio and was so excited to tell me about it. It was a difficult time in our lives and KLOVE was a huge encouragement. His favorite song back then was, "I Can Only Imagine" he said it reminded him of me. Now, KLOVE remains a huge part of my day as I navigate through another difficult time in my life. My husband passed away of brain cancer June of this year. Listening to KLOVE reminds me of him, and how thrilled he was that there was a christian radio station where we lived. The Word of God and the music are the two things that keep me going on a daily basis, without that I would be lost. Deuteronomy 31:8 says "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
This year I decided to make a pledge even though things are financially more difficult than ever because I know what a difference it has made in my life. Thanks KLOVE!

Story:
Early in April 1998 I asked my 15 year old daughters forgiveness for pushing her in her crib as a baby while drinking, a guilt which haunted me for 14 years. She then told me dad lay your pain upon the cross, Salvation and Grace is through Christ on the Cross. That Sunday was Easter so I went to church and had a long talk with Christ and askedd him to forgive me for pain I have caused others in my life. I then went directly to her got on my knees , prayed and cried and asked her forgiveness. She forgave me my transgression and that Friday she died in a car accident out here in Kansas. There is no guilt shame or pain only the love of Christ. What better gift to give someone than to share the gospel message of saving Grace. I know where she is and where I am going.
Love the station and God given talent
