Choosing to Believe

 

Like Many Things in Life, Hope too is a Choice

 

By MIKE MEDLIN, Manila

 

Just weeks after two bombings in Davao City and intense fighting in western Mindanao, 104.3 The Edge is challenging the community to take hope.  Starting Tuesday morning the air team will encourage believers in Davao to accept that the hope they want and desperately need for their city begins with them.

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.-II Chronicles 7:14

Hope & healing is our prayer for Davao and the nation.  Consider the recent headlines...

• Hundreds of Millions of Pesos Stolen in Political Pork Barrel
• HIV Infection Spread for Asia is the Fastest in the Philippines
• Youngest Confirmed Prostitute in Davao City Age 9

​In times like these, hope and belief are in short supply and that's why the positive message of the Edge Davao is so critical.  

Tomorrow morning, I'll be flying out for the week to join the team in Davao for their next fundraiser.  As a listener supported station, the Edge Davao is blazing a new trail for Christian media ministry in the Philippines.  Raising funds in a developing nation is challenging and a real leap of faith for everyone who sits behind the microphone.  Please join me in prayer for this station.

The financial goal set by the station leadership is a humble P72,000.  That's less than $2000 USD and yet enough to cover for the station's lease for an entire year.  If God moves your heart, it would be a real encouragement to the team if their American brothers and sisters would join them in "Fueling Hope for Davao City."  If you'd like to make a special one time donation to their cause please click the link below.
