You Make Hope Possible

“Why are you in despair, O my soul?  And why have you become disturbed within me?  Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence.” Psalm 54:5

We have seen God do incredible things through partners like you, thank you so much.  And because of partners like you that have generously joined The Promise FM family, Tom’s life was forever changed:"Business was booming. I had a wonderful family, I had a lovely young wife, and I had accomplished more than I ever thought I would. I had moved north seeking a better life for my wife and family, and from the world’s point of view I had it all…But I was empty inside, hopeless! The more I had, the more I bought, the more I saw, the more I did, the less fulfilled I became. In the fall of 1989 I sat in my new boat on a local lake so desperate that I had actually planned to step off the edge of the boat. I had lots of life insurance... I’d be out and away from all of the pain of all the lies and deception I’d been living... not only with myself but with others... My wife would be compensated, my family would be raised, and we’d all win.That morning I heard a former rock and roll singer singing the song “Isn’t It Amazing What A Prayer Can Do” and because I was an old rock-and-roller I knew that sound, I just couldn’t understand why he was singing about God. The words to that song were really quite simple – Isn’t it amazing what a prayer can do, when it all seems hopeless it’ll pull you through.I decided that morning I’d go find out what this guy was talking about. That was the beginning; I didn’t know God, but it was a very slow turn toward following God.” You make Hope possible! Psalm 42:5 says: "Why are you in despair, O my soul?  And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence."God is doing something special through The Promise FM in the lives of our Promise FM family.
