Praise the Lord for He is Good!
Praise the Lord for a great Sharathon 2016! God continues to bless the ministry of WTGN daily. Finances
continue to trickle in but as of this printing, we have received $360,941. That’s 82% already pledged! PTL!!
Thanks to all who volunteered, called in to record a testimony, came in to encourage us with food, brought
in a faith promise, or to share memories or make new ones. I think many people were blessed and will continue to be blessed through the prayer and ministry of WTGN. Please continue to keep this ministry, the staff
and programmers in your prayers. God is working!

give to get the prizes, they did add to the excitement of the Sharathon. We so much appreciate

Blue Gate-Shipshewana presents their new musical
THE HOME GAME
Sat., April 16 — $90
For as long as he can remember, handsome Levi Troyer has loved
playing baseball. He daydreams about playing in the major leagues,
but with his father's expectations that he remain on the farm, he
manages to keep most of his dreaming in check.
Blue Gate's newest musical, “THE HOME GAME - A Son's Journey, A Father's Hope,” is filled with laughter and drama and is sure
to hit it out of the park!

1 - Given anonymously. To God be the glory!
“Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 124:8
19 - Underwritten by Flora DeVoe in memory of
Fred (Bud) DeVoe. Bud passed away on this day
in 2005. We are a large family, and he is always
with us in thought and in memories. Gone but
not forgotten, with us every moment. The Bible
calls grace: things we receive that we don’t
earn. When you add them up, the list of God’s
gifts is long: love, forgiveness, and countless
blessings. God gives because he loves. That’s
the nature of grace; receiving without deserving. Pause for a second to thank God for the
underserved blessings He has poured into your
life - a moment to connect with the One who
has shown you grace is well worth the time.
“For by grace you have been saved through
faith, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
9 - By Sherri Acheson in honor of her sister Deedee Fair. “I am so looking forward to
someday being able to give her a hug and tell
her I love her. To God be the glory, great things
He has done!”
16 - By Jane Dukes-Shank and family in memory
of Tom Dukes and Christine Dukes-Rumer. “For
it is by grace you have been saved, through
faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of
God not by works, so that no one can boast. For
we are God's workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in
advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV
26 - This day is underwritten by Bruce Augsburger in honor of his 31st year in business at
The Hair Emporium in Bluffton, OH. The Lord
has blessed these many years. Glory to God!
“...in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He
will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:6
26 - Given anonymously in praise of who God is !
28 - By Jeannette Burton in memory of her father. He is greatly missed. Absent from the
body, present with the Lord.
30 - By Jeff and Liz Focht in memory of Fred
Focht, a friend and father. We’ll see you later in
heaven. He is celebrating his birthday with
Jesus tomorrow, January 31st.
