He’s cleared the way in our community to be able to keep reaching one more soul with the hope of Jesus

Minner Labrador Jr., president of Upper Columbia Conference, recently launched a new radio series, Live by Faith. Each week Labrador Jr. shares a short message of hope and renewal by focusing on topics such as being a blessing and a role model, dealing with loss, and how to be a successful Christian. The segments usually run about a minute and a half.

 

“With this series,” says Labrador Jr., “we are able to speak directly to people in Spokane and the surrounding communities. These are important messages for our time to help those in need prepare for His soon return.”

 

The series has recently been picked up for rebroadcast by LifeTalk Radio nationwide. It is recorded in the Shine 104.9 studio and reaches the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene regions.

 

“God has blessed KEEH with influence in this community — being ranked as high as the #1 radio station in Spokane/Coeur d’Alene is a privilege that we do not take lightly,” says Darin Patzer, station manager for Shine 104.9. “He’s cleared the way in our community to be able to keep reaching one more soul with the hope of Jesus.”

 

To listen to the podcast series, you can turn your radio to 104.9 in the Spokane area or 94.9 in Coeur d’Alene. You can also listen to Live By Faith online at www.uccsda.org/livebyfaith.
