How Great is OUR GOD!

Vision is officially over. W O W. God showed up with a historic fund raider. We are now over 85% of our goal, with our largest number of givers ever in one campaign. We now have enough money to buy the building, debt free, and we will spend the remainder of this year looking for friends to help out with getting the work done on the building. We will be needing help with painting, some construction, heating and air conditioning help, and a couple of other items. You can check out our website at wbgl.org if you want to see what else we need, and if you missed out on the giving, you can do so here: http://tinyurl.com/givewbgl. God bless you as we continue on the journey!!

Vision is becoming clear

God is moving at WBGL. He's doing things in ways only He can.

One part of our new building that will need attention is a new roof on the office part of the building. I mentioned that on the air this morning and got a call from Brett Adkisson. He "just happened" to be listening, owns a construction company, and felt his group of guys were suppose to be the ones who put the new roof on, at no charge to us. Wait, it gets better. He said the guy who got him listening to WBGL was the guy he buys shingles from and he called him to get us the best deal possible. This story is still unravelling, so I'll keep you posted.
Now if only we had someone who could donate their painting services and some new floor covering. What does the bible say? "You have not, because you ask not" It's in James. So, I'll be sure to ask!!!

What an incredible journey!!

The day befpore the day before.

So, we are now 2 days away from Vision, our Fall fundraiser. It's the fundraiser designed to finish off the building campaign. It's so humbling to say that even before we start, 15% of the money needed to finish the building has already been pledged. Only 85% to go. WOW!
A couple of prayer requests.
HEALTH. We all need it, but in our current confining quarters, if one person gets sick, it often gets "shared" with others around them.
TECHNICAL PROTECTION. We depend on our computers so much during Vision, so pray they are ready for the task at hand.
IN KIND GIVING. As you can imagine, there are lots of items for the new building that can be donated by friends in the industry. A New Roof, Carpeting, Building Materials just to name a few. If you would like some more information on giving these items, give me a call at 217-840-1853. If you want to give towards our new building, you can do so right here. https://donate.familyfriendly.org/ALLEG/wbglwebdefault.asp?P=WBGLEMAIL&C=3VLThanks for supporting Family Friendly, WBGL.

Yesterday is history

So, I was traveling back from our sister station, WIBI, yesterday when I officially got "The News". The contract has been signed. The Ernest money has been deposited. We are nearly there, ready to open the door to our new building. I pulled into my favorite barbeque joint, Smokey Bones, and celebrated. I pulled out my Iphone to blog on this momentous event, and all I could do was write these 2 words. "Contract Signed". What a journey, what a blessing, what a pain, what a God trip this has been. Next week, we are going to raise the rest of the money needed to move into the building, debt free. To God, be the glory!! Here's a video.

2 words... Signed Contract!!!!

Pray. That pretty much sums it up...

Such a busy, busy, week

Wow. Lots of work done. Lots of meetings with friends and conversations with attorneys. Lots of looking at drawings and forms to fill out. The week is over, the contract is days away from being signed, and we have shown the video at www.wbgl.org . Pray that our computer program that runs our donor program doesn't crash...again. It did twice on Friday. Thank God that we have so many friends that are coming forward and saying, "My company would like to take care of..." So great to have so many friends that do so many important things. Also, pray for no hiccups on this final round of contract finessing.
