The share-a-thon at HCJB finished late Saturday night. Santi had the priviledge of helping all day Saturday. He not only continued helping with technical support, but also sat at one of the stations receiving walk-in donations. Our hearts were warmed as he shared stories of people who arrived and sacrificially gave so that HCJB Radio could continue to be on the air in 2008.
He told of one lady whose husband recently left her with two children and she doesn't have much but pledged to give $5.00 per month. She came to his station to donate and only had about $3.00 in change, but wanted to make sure it went towards the goal!
And as you can see from the photos, even children came in and emptied out their banks!
We are pleased to share that the financial goal was met in abundance . . . . $170,000 in direct donations and pledges for the year! But even more important, many hearts were touched in hearing how God is using HCJB Radio to bring people to Him.
Santi finally got home at 11 pm on Saturday evening. What could have been a long exhausting day turned out to be an inspiration to both of us! Hopefully it will be an inspiration to you as well during this holiday season!!
