Changed Life

Rich Murphy worked for Home to Stay, a non-profit home renovation company that helps people stay in their homes despite physical limits. The supervisor kept their work-van radio tuned to 90.7 FM, (STR), because he liked the music. On occasion, Rich would also hear sermons and other programs, and he was drawn to listen to STR on his own time.

While listening to STR, Rich discovered Bible truths he'd never heard before. He also learned about the Spirit of Prophecy, referenced both during the sermons and through broadcast reading sessions. "God further revealed Himself to me through the STR broadcasts," Rich shares.

Strong Tower Radio also introduced Rich to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Looking back, Rich describes himself as a Bible-studying Christian of 35 years. Raised Catholic, he converted to Protestantism at age 25. Over time, Rich has noticed a growing trend of Protestant churches whose teaching and practice increasingly resembles Catholics.  

After listening to STR for almost two years, Rich visited the Midland Seventh-day Adventist Church. He attended the Sabbath School study, the main morning service, and the mid-week prayer meeting. Listening to STR had given Rich a hunger for more truth. He attended Midland church for two years, was introduced to 3ABN TV, and received resources to further research the writings of Ellen White.

In mid-2020, Rich joined the Midland SDA Church on profession of faith during the earlier stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. He notes, "People don't realize that their misunderstandings are blurring their picture of God. There is so much junk out there being broadcast; good programming is such a relief. I seldom listen to anything on the radio except STR!"

Thank you, dear reader, for choosing to support STR each month! Your choices are changing lives!!

Raise Right

Fundraiser

Here is a new & easy way that you can help us with our fundraising. I like to think of it as free money!! Do you use or buy gift cards? Especially this time of year? We are inviting you to join our gift card fundraising program.

The RaiseRight organization partners with hundreds of brands. You can choose from eGift cards, physical gift cards, or reloadable gift cards—all with no activation fees or expiration dates. Shop online with 550+ brands, dine at participating restaurants, even buy gas cards or book hotels, and car rentals for massive earning potential. Over 50,000 organizations trust RaiseRight as their #1 fundraising platform.

You can also earn from all your online shopping. Log in at RaiseRight.com or the mobile app, then select the Shop Online tab to browse brands, shop directly on their websites, and earn on your purchases.

How it works: Let’s say you purchase a $100 gift card from a participating brand. In turn, they donate a percentage of the gift card's value to Strong Tower Radio, ranging from 1-14%, sometimes more. But your gift card is still worth the price you paid. The brand is paying the percentage, similar to what Amazon Smile used to do. That’s why I call it free money!

Use our unique enrollment code Y2V9HHQ9DXPN to help us fundraise! Please go to RaiseRight.com & join. Use gift cards that give back, earn anywhere, anytime with everyday purchases. Shop Now!
