The Truth Network reports someone has destroyed several of their towers. A criminal investigation is underway. FBI is involved -since it’s a federal crime.

Truth Network Founder & CEO Stu Epperson, Jr. says he can’t share details…”but please PRAY…for the person responsible to come to faith in Christ, for law enforcement and for our team as they rush to get us back on the air.”

Founded in 2000, Truth Network is owned and operated by Truth Broadcasting Corporation, broadcasting predominantly preaching and teaching on Christian and Bible based topics in North Carolina, Virginia, Iowa and Utah.

KEEH/Spokane (Shine 104.9) held a Prayer Vigil New Years Eve (Noon to Noon through New Years Day).

KEEH GM Darin Patzer told HisAir the Prayer Vigil included 24 hours of fasting, singing, ministry reports (like from local college campus workers with Cru, etc.) and prayer for our local city, leaders and families. People came and went as their schedules permitted. Near midnight a group walked a few blocks to a bluff overlooking the city, sang a few hymns and then uplifted Spokane and the region to God, as the fireworks went off in the distance.”

One of the event organizers was U.S. Congresswoman, Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, who shared about her commitment to reading her Daily Bible, and her daily prayer zoom group the past several years. She shared a project she has started to share the Daily Bible as a gift to all 435 members of the House of Representatives in Washington D.C. When she reached out to Nancy Pelosi, her political opponent, Cathy related how the gift was received with appreciation and the response from Nancy, “this is beautiful, recently I downloaded a Bible app onto my phone, as I’d been impressed to start reading the Bible.” It’s encouraging to hear of committed men and women in the U.S. Government.
