WPOS/Holland (Proclaim FM) Digital Media Coordinator/Weekend Host Dawn Miller tells HisAir, “Just wanted to shoot you a line and let you know that we met our goal, 4 hours ahead of schedule! We are so grateful for our team, volunteers, and all those who gave to our Spring Sharathon, with a huge amount of them being brand new donors! What an amazing week we have had!”
WLAB/Ft Wayne (Star 88.3) Marketing & Event Coordinator Jae-Lynn Owsley is stepping away from her role at the station being called into a new season. She plans to continue her work with City Life, a ministry through Youth For Christ.
Jae-Lynn says, “This journey has been such a blessing. From events in the community to welcoming guests into the station for on-air conversations and everything in between, I’ve had the joy of meeting so many incredible people along the way. I’m truly thankful for the connections, experiences, and growth this role has brought into my life.”

WGLY/Burlington, VT (The Light Radio Network)Pd morning host Leevi Betancourt tells HisAir, “We here in Vermont are doing well and seeing God overcome many financial and spiritual challenges here in the Northeast. Through the pains of persecution and death, God’s grace has been sufficient to us and our Christian programming numbers are rising. We’re also seeing evidence of revival in our churches and seeing God’s Spirit move powerfully.”
“We recently had Sean Feucht lead us in worship and prayer at Ignite Church in Williston Vermont. In 2 weeks we have Cochren and Company with Megan Woods coming out to Vibrant Church in Burlington Vermont and are very excited bout this. Lastly, our Susan and Leevi morning show (pictured) is getting our audience excited to engage in the community we are building here on the Light through prizes and events. God is good all the time and all the time God is good!”
Christian FM syndicated host Brant Hansen shares something with HisAir readers today.
Brant says, “Mike Harper from KVNE/Tyler passed something along to me. He knew I’d love it, and he was right. If you know Mike, you know he’s a highly intelligent person, despite being a drummer. It’s called “A Liturgy Before Taking the Stage” and it’s written by Douglas McKelvey. Below, you’ll see I took the liberty of adapting—and, as a faithful radio guy, shortening it—for our unique purposes. Maybe it will mean something to you…? Maybe, like me, you’ll keep it near where you prep, or somewhere on the way to the studio.”
(Also: Brant says – I now highly recommend these books and prints, with simple liturgies for much of everyday life. I’m getting the Liturgy for Morning Coffee print for sure.)
What have I to offer here that might sustain the souls of others?
Alone I have little more to show than my own pride and insecurity, my craving for praise, and my fear of rejection.
Rather, let me offer something greater in this place, O Christ
As I open up the mic, meet me amidst the wreckage of my ego and my woundedness and through me give what I alone cannot
I offer you all that I have: my talents, my training, the years spent honing and crafting and creating, my passions, my personality, my history,
the many sacrifices I and others have made in order for me to be here. I give you even my brokenness of which I am also a steward.
I offer now these incomplete and insufficient provisions, remembering how you, in your days among us, twice blessed inadequate offerings, fashioning them into miraculous feasts that would sustain crowds in their hard journeys
I pray that you would likewise receive and bless and multiply my own meager gifts, Jesus for the benefit of all who will listen.
Let these humble elements, in your hands, become a true nourishment for those who hunger for you.
And for those who have not yet wakened to their deepest hungers, let my brief service to them be like the opening of a window through which the breezes of a far country might blow stirring eternal longings to life.
Amen.
