Every year on July 28th, Lisa would celebrate. It was the day she gave her life to Christ. This year, she shared, “34 years ago yesterday I made the choice make Jesus Christ the center of my life. Best choice I ever made in my life. Going through hard times is so much easier when He’s by your side to help you through it.”
On Saturday, after a short illness, our sweet friend Lisa Bowling ran for the first time, and it was into the arms of her Savior.
Lisa was the personification of love and determination. Because she was born with cerebral palsy, every word she shared took time and effort, yet she never let that stop her. With the help of family or friends, she would carefully type out notes, most often short and sweet, asking how she could pray for you. And when she invited you to join her “Lisa Bowling Fundraiser,” those messages became longer, full of enthusiasm for the station she loved so dearly. Lisa championed BRIGHT-FM in every way she could to friends and family, reaching out through emails, Facebook messages, and personal encouragement. We know many in the BRIGHT-FM community befriended Lisa throughout the years, and her generosity, persistence, prayers, and joy touched everyone who knew her.
While our hearts mourn for the loss of our dear friend, we rejoice that Lisa is running free in Heaven. Lisa has exemplified what it looks like to keep our eyes on Jesus, how to love others generously, to be persistent in prayer for those we love, and to run our race with determination until we, too, see Him face to face.
