Offering for STR at ASI 
April 16 & 17th

Strong Tower Radio will be one of the ministry organizations receiving a portion of the ASI-Lake Union chapter's offering at the April 16th and 17th 2021 Virtual Spring Fellowship meeting. Strong Tower Radio (STR) has long felt remote studios would give us increased access to a larger pool of interesting guests and subjects for our listeners.

Camp Au Sable draws accomplished presenters from across Michigan and literally around the world. Unfortunately, they do not currently have recording space to capture these interviews. If we had a permanent air quality recording studio, we could capture many programs as part of these presenters' routine visits.

Adventist-laymen’s Services & Industries (ASI) is a cooperative network of lay individuals, professionals, business owners, and ministries who collectively support the global mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The ASI-Lake Union 2021 Virtual Spring Fellowship meeting and offering will be held this weekend April 16th and 17th. 

You are welcome to attend this free power packed, inspirational meeting this week. They present amazing conferences, and we are blessed to be a member participating in this upcoming Spring Fellowship. You can register for free with no obligations to watch it streaming during the convention.

What is the Advisory?

What is the Strong Tower Radio Advisory? Who are they? What do they do?

Well, you can answer who they are and, if you know them, what they do for a living by looking at this picture from one of the first advisory meetings. But, to answer the question, they are people who love Jesus, and they recognize that Strong Tower Radio is a powerful tool to spread the Gospel across Michigan and around the world.

They keep "their ears to the ground" and watch how people respond to and share testimonies with Strong Tower Radio. They also give us recommendations we might not have considered. If you know these people, please share your ideas with them, so they can pass them on to the STR staff.

According to Nielson, 92% of Americans listen to radio weekly, providing a marvelous way to exponentially increase individual member and local church outreach!  Through your generous support, far more testimonies like those we have shared in this newsletter will also happen in the Battle Creek and Kalamazoo areas. Praise God, thus far, donors have given over $55,000 of the $175,000 to be raised by June 17, 2021!
This field is ripe for harvest brothers and sisters!  Please pray and ask God how He would have you help reach the Battle Creek and Kalamazoo regions with the everlasting gospel.   As the Holy Spirit prompts you, please help fund these station purchases through STR’s secure website, StrongTowerRadio.org, or call 231-468-2087, or send your check mailed to STR, P.O.

God is Speaking to You!

The Bible contains many amazing statements--all credible--and in many instances, God describes Himself or what He will do or has done.  In the book of Isaiah, God tells the prophet how He guides people who seek God’s counsel: "You shall hear a word behind you saying this is the way, walk ye in it, when you turn to the right hand or when you turn to the left.”  Isaiah 30:21 

The phrase “hear a word behind you” not only refers to an audible voice, like that of a friend talking to us as they walk up behind us, but especially to the Holy Spirit speaking to us at the thought level, impressing us to either do/say something or refrain from a particular thought/word/action.  I’ve experienced this many times, and sadly I recognize some examples only looking back and realizing the guidance I have missed.

A few years ago, I was clearing a few wind-blown trees from our woods and using the hammer end of a splitting maul to move the bottom of a cut tree from a cramped space near a fence.  I kept being impressed with the thought to give myself more room to swing the maul, and repeatedly decided I had enough room.  A few swings later, I drove the hammer into the side of my foot; mercifully, my boot took most of the impact.

Several months later, I was clearing trees in a different part of our land and had just piled some cut sections for later splitting and moved to a nearby downed tree.  As I began cutting up that tree, I looked back to the wood I had just piled up, and the thought came strongly to me you need to move that wood pile.  I just put it there, it should be fine I retorted in mind, then remembered my foot-hammering incident.  OK, I hear you Father, it doesn’t make sense to me now, but I trust you’re leading me.   

I moved the wood pile another 15 feet away and resumed working.   I was up about 5’ working on a downed tree root ball when I lost my balance.  I was able to lay my chainsaw down on the ball while falling, then turn and leap off instead of tumble down.  Where did I land?  Right where that pile of wood had been.  I landed with both feet on flat solid ground instead of a wood pile that would have severely injured my ankles.   I literally jumped up from where I landed and praised God for His merciful guidance and helping me to listen!!

What word has God been speaking to you recently? Has He impressed you to move forward with supporting His work, perhaps for the first time, or more than you have so far?  Don’t delay, go forward in faith today!  Please continue to pray for STR and, as the Holy Spirit impresses you, become a monthly supporter of STR and help to share the everlasting gospel.  Today is the day of salvation!

Kam Ferguson, Development Director
