Ripples

Ripples and Waves

Throw a rock into a pond and you will see the impact ripples go in all directions. Skip a rock and you see that ripple effect multiplied. The waves continue until they reach the distant shore of the lake/river or are absorbed by something else such as a log or a wave. Speaking of waves, except for tsunamis, most waves by themselves don’t have significant impact, yet many waves over time have transformed a lake shore or coastline!

In similar fashion, a listener may not feel much impact when they first hear Strong Tower Radio (STR). The first wave of listening may be gentle, it sounds nice breaking on the shoreline, yet the impact isn’t quickly seen. As the listener continues to hear, the impact becomes visible.  The Holy Spirit convicts through the messages heard on STR and the listener’s heart begins to change as he or she learn that God is Love. Another listener may feel knocked over by a tsunami when he first hears that a cherished doctrine isn’t Biblical. The Holy Spirit can reach hearts through big or small waves; He works in wondrous ways.

As you continue supporting STR, you are having a ripple effect on innumerable listeners. All will be blessed by your giving, many will be challenged to examine their faith, and some will be converted to embrace the everlasting gospel! Thank you for listening to and supporting STR with your prayers, enthusiasm, and finances. One day very soon, Jesus will show you how He multiplied your ripple effect of broadcasting the three angels’ messages.

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!
