Easter Week
Witnessing
When is the very best time to invite your friends and family to listen to Strong Tower Radio?
Passion Week!
During Passion Week, your friends, family, and co-workers, will turn their thoughts more consciously towards the Savior.
Some regularly scheduled programs will address the Passion Week theme, including "Fresh Manna," "The Strong Tower Radio Music Hour," and Three Angels Broadcasting Network programs.
STR’s special Passion Week programs will include “Eight Days that Changed the World," “The Resurrection Then, Now and for the Future," "The Footsteps of Jesus," several classic episodes of “Easter” Strong Tower Radio Variety Hours," a passion play, and "A Pharisee’s Encounter with Christ."
This one week of the year, Jesus is especially uplifted throughout the world. Multitudes of the faithful and the curious will specially think of Him. Prayerfully direct these seeking souls to STR’s Passion Week specials, from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, only on STR stations, STR apps, or STR.fm.

The ACS Turkey Visit
A funny story came out of the Strong Tower Radio Muskegon Adventist Community Services interview. The director tells the story of the live turkey that spent a couple of days in the center. This story is best appreciated by hearing it shared in her own words this Sunday at 3:30 a.m., Monday at 4 p.m., Wednesday at 9 p.m., and Thursday at 1 p.m., only on Strong Tower Radio stations, STR apps, or STR.fm.

Lifestyle Center Visit
I, Tom Mejeur, have long heard of the wonderful healing work at Uchee Pines Lifestyle Center in Alabama. I spent two days experiencing the guest orientation, a lecture, appetizing healthy meals, the health food store and cafe, and interviewing the many staff members. Experience a tour of this health center only on STR stations, STR apps, or STR.fm on Friday (4/11) at 1 p.m. and Saturday (4/12) at 5 p.m.

WBHL Transmitter
Matching Grant
Opportunity
The Harrison station, WBHL, 90.7 FM transmitter, failed again and is broadcasting at reduced power. The $5,000 to repair it again is better invested in a new, modern transmitter costing $17,500.
A visionary donor has offered a $5,000 matching grant toward a new transmitter for WBHL. Praise God! Ask God how you can help restore WBHL through this matching grant! Please mark your gift “WBHL match grant,” and thank you for generously supporting Strong Tower Radio.

Dog waiting for his master.

Ready for the
Master's Return
Here at Strong Tower Radio, we have a dog that some days accompanies one employee to work and stays with him in his ground-floor office. When his master goes upstairs to work with audio recordings, this dog becomes extra attentive as he listens carefully for footsteps that might indicate his master's return.
When he hears a door close above, he comes and sits attentively facing the stairwell door, awaiting his master's return! I have seen this happen so many times that I usually ignore it. However, the other day, the Lord brought a higher application to this behavior: Am I as interested in my Master's return as this dog is toward his?
Can others see that you and I stay attentive to Christ's soon return? Does every area of my life reflect that focused interest, whether publicly or privately? Our heart's interest aligns with what we treasure.
One way that some of you are attentive to Christ's soon return is your investment in Strong Tower Radio. Listeners are tuning in daily, and lives are being changed. One listener tuned in after throwing out her TV. She has enjoyed what she hears so much that she has shared the wealth. Several of her friends now listen, too!
Some, like Jeremy in this month's Changed Lives article, are as those pulled from the fire!
God continues growing STR coverage across more of Michigan. That growth comes with additional costs. Some of our readers have not yet begun to invest in STR’s ministry with their finances. Are you watching for the master's return? Your prayers and financial support for STR give signal evidence of your "yes" answer. We praise God for all that He is accomplishing through your partnership with Strong Tower Radio, where lives are being changed!
