GIVE THANKS THIS YEAR

Your special Thanksgiving gift will bless others in Des Moines, Ames and Central Iowa.

November 2009

Hearts seem especially open and generous this time of year.

Sadly, though, for many this is a lonely season with a special need of God’s touch through uplifting music with a message of hope, and outreach that blesses so many.

So, as we approach Thanksgiving, we have a wonderful opportunity to say “thank you” to God.

As a ministry partner, will you join us in spreading God’s love to those in need?

Your support for Life 107.1/96.1 KNWI makes a difference for people in Des Moines, Ames and Central Iowa like Diane:

“I have had many bumps in my life this year, especially this past month. Your station reminds me of His love and constant presence. What an awesome God we serve. Thank you!”

Because you are a ministry partner, your gifts help Life 107.1/96.1 KNWI reach more people in Des Moines, Ames and Central Iowa with uplifting Christian music and outreach ministries that change lives, strengthen families, and build strong communities.

As we head into a season of giving thanks, will you honor the Lord with a special gift to help us reach more people with His love?

Thank you for making this an extra-special season through your financial support of Life 107.1/96.1KNWI: a vital ministry that God uses to change lives in Des Moines, Ames and Central Iowa.

In Him,

Dave St. John
Station Manager

Is my contribution Tax Deductible?

Yes! You will receive a quarterly receipt for your records.

What is the difference between a pledge and a gift?

A gift is immediate (cash, credit card, check). A pledge is a faith promise: an agreement between you and the Lord that, as He provides, you will fulfill your commitment to financially support this radio ministry.

What is "TFN" and how does it work?

TFN stands for "'Til Further Notice" and it's an ongoing commitment to financially support the radio ministry for an indefinite period of time. This requires that you let us know that you want to be a TFN donor via electronic transfer or credit card. Your signature is required. This can be handled through paperwork, or on the web. This cannot be handled on the phone.

What is automatic monthly giving (auto giving) and how does it work?

It is an ongoing monthly withdrawal from your bank account via Automated Clearing House (ACH), formerly Electronic Funds Transfer (TFN) or a monthly charge to your credit card for a period of time, or indefinitely.

If I make a pledge commitment, do you send me a confirmation?

Yes.

If I make a TFN commitment, do you send me a confirmation?

Yes.

If I make a gift, do you send me a confirmation?

We will send you a thank-you gift receipt for your giving.

How does the Employer Matching Funds program work?

Employer Matching Funds involves your employer "matching" the financial contribution you make to the radio ministry (Click Here for More information on Employer Matching Funds)

Do people really "come to Jesus" because of the radio ministry?

Yes! The Lord can choose any means He wishes to change a person's heart. Often, He has used the radio ministry of Life 107.1. Studies have shown that as many as 30% of our listeners have not yet made a decision to follow Jesus.

Do you really need my financial support?

Yes! We do not air commercials, so we rely on the generosity of our listeners to carry out the Lord's work.

Do you need my financial support if I gave last year?

Yes. Our budget is annual, not eternal.

What if I can not afford to support the radio ministry financially?

We understand that situations change from time to time. We would, however, encourage you to find a level of support that works for your family’s budget. Some listeners choose to match their entertainment - such as restaurants, or coffee shops - with an equal contribution to the radio ministry.

What if I am supporting another ministry?

It is a blessing to know that you are supporting another faith-based ministry. It is our prayer that you would support Life 107.1 as well, to reach the lost with a message of hope and encouragement.
