During this past Saturday night's Family Prayer Circle segment, CT Radio Fellowship President Drew Crandall shared a devotional titled "When Leadership Falls." He shared an abbreviated version of this message during Friday's Pastor Brunch, which was well received.
This is a very relevant, timely message given recent news concerning Dr. Tony Evans and Rev. Robert Morris. Please click here to listen:

We had an excellent CT Radio Fellowship Board meeting this morning! Thank you for your prayers!
06/06/2024
This coming Saturday morning, June 8, will mark Connecticut Radio Fellowship Board President Drew Crandall's 39th "spiritual birthday." His faith in Christ came alive on June 8, 1985 at about 11 am during a Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship breakfast at the Ramada Inn off I-91 in East Windsor, Connecticut.
"I learned about this breakfast through a brief calendar listing in the Hartford Courant, and was curious if it was really possible to be a Christian AND a businessperson. I thought it was either/or. I also love breakfast, so I was looking forward to the meal, too!"
During the meeting, a Christian business owner from Long Island, New York (where Drew had spent several years of his childhood, and which had been part of his sales territory earlier in his career) shared his testimony of how he came to Christ. "This man's testimony resonated with me," says Drew; "I could relate to him in SO many ways, it was uncanny. At the end of his talk, the simple gospel was shared and an invitation was given for me to trust Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. I've never been the same since! That was the starting point for decades of volunteer ministry work that continues today. That's my story," Drew says, "and I'm sticking to it!" 🙂

We are in the process of migrating our Live Stream service to a new source. Please be patient, there may be a gap in service during the transition today!

Once again, WIHS will be part of the next AfterHours Comedy House this Saturday, June 8 at the Apostle Gift Store in Southington, CT. The show will be emceed by "Dr. B," TC Brantley from Waterbury, who is a long-time Bread of Life pastor and who served as our keynote speaker for last fall's Celebrate Jesus Gala & Expo (WIHS' annual banquet).
Connecticut Radio Fellowship Board President Drew Crandall will present "The Gospel According to Smiley." Last month, when Drew shared this message, at least two souls made first-time confessions of faith in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior! Please pray for souls to be saved this Saturday!
Clean comedy such as this is rarely performed in Connecticut and elsewhere. Last month, the two main professional comedians both told the audience this was the first time they had performed clean comedy (nothing rude and crude) and they were astounded by how engaged the audience was throughout the evening. Please scan the QR codes on the posted graphic for details and tickets.

Did you know that WIHS is one of the largest evangelical Christian organizations in Connecticut? We have a terrific staff of over 20 full- and part-time people, all of whom live in Connecticut. Our 2024 budget is $785,000.
If you were to "look under the hood," operating a live and local, 24/7 Christian radio station is quite complicated and a lot of work. This Saturday morning, June 8, the Connecticut Radio Fellowship (the non-profit that operates WIHS) will be conducting its quarterly Board of Directors meeting.
Please pray for Al, Bill, Chris, Diane, Drew, Kevin and Matt as they conduct their 360-degree review of the station and make decisions about future operations. Much wisdom and discernment are needed. It is a great privilege and also a great responsibility. To whom much is given, much is expected.
THANK YOU for your prayers, volunteering, financial support and listenership! To learn more about the station, and tap into its many resources, please visit www.WIHSradio.org today.
