I retired this month as a high school teacher. About 3 months ago, I was in the school hallway when I heard screaming. I ran down to the principal's office, to find a girl on the floor having a severe asthma attack. The principal, secretary, and other teachers, were all there, shouting and screaming. The girl's fingers were turning blue and I knew she wasn't getting any oxygen--she had stopped breathing completely. Now I know how to do mouth-to-mouth but I had never done it on a real person who was in danger of dying. I started asking if anyone there knew CPR, and I prayed mentally that God would please not place this burden in my hands. But everyone said they didn't know CPR, except for one teacher who had tried but was not strong enough to force air down the girl's throat. So I got down on my knees, and changed my prayer to ask God to take over for me and let me do His will. I immediately heard a loud voice in my head calmly reciting the checklist of how to do CPR and chest compressions. So I shut out all the external noise and followed His instructions. I was never so happy as when the girl started breathing on her own. Afterwards, I cried, but His calming voice stayed with me. I praise and thank God everyday that He used me to save that girl's life.

I am in the Navy and recently transferred back to Japan. I was living in Norfolk, VA and found K Love while I was living there. I grew up in chruch in North Carolina, but since joining the Navy in 1989, have been away from church. Due to K Love and the prayers of family members, I am back in church here in Japan and have turned my life back over to God. What a wonderful thing music can be. I can still listen to K Love while I am on the internet. Thanks K Love.

Lately God has been making some big changes in my life and has used K-love to help me grow in many ways. I am going to be moving soon to go back to school and am disappointed I won't get to listen to k-love as I drive to work, or the store anymore. I am happy I can listen online still, but just wanted to tell you how amazingly God uses this station and everyone that works here, including everyone that pledges. So thank you and God bless.

Just when I thought K-LOVE was absolutely amazing, a few days ago I found out K-LOVE is extraordinarily AMAZING!... I first learned of K- LOVE because someone here in Corpus had a sticker on their car along with stickers of their faith and church so I tuned in. I feel that K-LOVE has helped to strengthen my relationship with God on a daily basis. K-LOVE is now the only radio station I listen to and my little ones also sing along! What turned K-LOVE extraordinary is when I recieved a phone call from you all asking me if I had a prayer request for your ministry to pray about. I explained yes actually I do, my husband, David, is in the Navy,his orders are up in December, I've been praying for a quick smooth sale of the house,and explained (it is a frustrating too long of a story), but even though we have to leave in December,we are unable to pick orders, and don't know where we will be going-but know we will be leaving. To top it off, many other trials have been piling up, those that I didn't share that day with K- LOVE, a car becoming irrepairable, another breaking down, I was out of work for 3 months to that very day my husband demoted for reasons beyond his control-the very reason we have no orders!Your call felt like a red emergency phonecall straight from God His Amazing Self! Thankyou!

Story:
When he returned from World War II, my dad married his sweetheart who had been waiting for him to return home for four years. Shortly after their second anniversary, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Just after their tenth anniversary she died from the disease, leaving three kids to raise (4, 5, and 8 years old) and a farm to run. It was a daunting legacy. In the 1950's there were very few single parents. We didn't know any other kids who didn't have both a mom and a dad. But my dad raised three children who are believers and who are now themselves grandparents several times over.
In April he left the farm house that he himself built for his bride years ago and is now living in a nursing home where he can get the medical care we can not provide at home. He is 94 years old and is in very fragile health. Today was very likely Daddy's last Father's Day, but that's OK because his sweetheart has been in heaven with the Lord waiting for him to come home for 53 years. What a glorious legacy of grace and mercy and promise.

I just wanted to tell you how important your music ministry is in the life of me and my boys. I am a recently divorced single mom and I have been the spiritual leader in my family for years. I can't tell you how much KLove has helped me in ministering to my children. They sing the songs from your station and from our church all the time. I got majority custody of the boys and what a blessing that has been. Within the past 3 months, I haven't heard them sing a secular song. They are constantly asking me questions about songs and the meanings. You have a commercial where someone is saying God is eternal. My oldest boy was listening to it one day and piped up and said "No he isn't!" So I went about explaining what eternal meant. He then looked at me perplexed and said "Oh." I asked him what he thought they had said and he said "I thought they said God is a Turtle." "You're right. He isn't a turtle." was all I could say without laughing histerically. The point is, he was listening to what you were saying also. Not just the music. Thank you so much for your ministry. It is also the only music I allow in my chiropractic clinic and it is the most highly commented on aspect of my practice as well. People notice I'm a christian. Thank you.

I have been listening to K-Love for a few years now, most often in the car but recently online while doing assignments for college. My sons, now 5 and 10, enjoy listening as well. It gives me great joy to hear them singing along with the songs!
Both of my kids have always fallen asleep to music, usually CD's, which are often Christian artists. My 10-year-old loves the Newsboys and Steven Curtis Chapman. My 5-year-old favors Casting Crowns and Matt Redman. Recently, my 5-year-old asked if he could listen to K-Love to fall asleep to. I agreed, thinking it would be a problem if I did not go in to turn it off after he fell asleep. It has been far from a problem! He now falls asleep to and wakes up to K-Love!
Thank you for being there as an option for listening to music that can be a blessing every day!

I am currently 13, and turning 14 in July. Being a teenager, most people would expect me to be full of teenage angst, but the Lord is my life, and he directs my heart on things other than things of the world and keeps me joyful despite what may be going on around me. Listening to K-LOVE helps me stay faithful in God and His love, and I hope all of the K-LOVE staff, even the ones with the tiniest jobs know that they are appreciated! Thanks K-LOVE!

Last year my mother passed away and I was very sad. My sister took me to church and I hadn't been to church in about 20 years. This church was filled with the Holy Spirit and I knew I had found Jesus again. My pastors were great and I was hungry for the word of God, I felt I had found happiness again. When I was at work instead of listening to my pop station as usual I started listening to KLOVE . This was the first time I ever lisened to Christian music. As I listened to the songs I said to myself these are love songs for God. I was so inspired and I was so blessed by God that he gave me a song that I named "There's nothing he can't do. I told my pastor in Walla Walla and she told me this was a gift from God and that I should sing my song. I had no knowledge of writing music, but I could sing the song. So her siser helped me by writing the notes and playing the music for me along with our band at church A week before Mother's Day my sister and I sang the song at church. God has since blessed me with the gift of song, I have written another song and he has brought love and joy into my heart. I listen to KLOVE
everyday and it really makes my day. Thank you KLOVE.

Story:
One Wednesday afternoon, my youth pastor shared a wonderful message that God used to completely break me down. I was struggling with giving all control to Christ . . . I tried to handle everything on my own. My world was crumbling around me: my mom was sick, my dad isn't churched, and I'm trying to take care of all responsibility in my household. Right after I got into my car, heading home from church, my best friend called. We had both heard on K-LOVE one of our favorite songs: What Life Would Be Like, by Big Daddy Weave. Right then and there, in two separate vehicles, we broke down and prayed that God would use us, and help us to open up to those around us at our school...to become better witnesses.
