Odyssey Touches A Heart

A pastor friend in upstate NY sent this encouraging note, demonstrating the power of our audio work. Rejoice!

When we were looking for a house we used a realtor who was your classic aggressive female saleslady. As we were house hunting she mentioned that she had a five year old son who was blind from birth and she asked me if there was anything that would good for him to listen to that had a good message. She knew I was a pastor. We suggested Adventures in Odyssey. We bought her a set of the first shows so her son would get some background on the characters. He loved them!

I don't know where she's at spiritually. The family is Catholic. But let the
Odyssey staff know that the show ministered in a special way to a young boy
who was blind and the show may open the doors to the getting gospel to the
family. Keep up the good work!

Devos Today

Read from Revelation. A book of great mystery, drama and hope. In the end, the bad guys lose, the saints win and the King returns! Superb story, and all true. In this life, we have much tribulation, but we do not lose heart. The Lord is sovereign and always carrying out His incredible plan.

Congrats to Patty and also to facilities staffer Frank Shepherd for their recognition! Great dedication and service attitudes.

Long debrief about yesterday's Impact Update. Some good laughs along the way - thanks for those, by the way. It is a wonderful privilege to work here, and to work alongside YOU!

Webcast Metrics - August '06

Interesting numbers from some of the data about web radio listening habits.

At #6 overall ranking, our friends at KLOVE (EMF Broadcasting) have

>> more people listening online during any given 15 minute segment (AQH) than ESPN or Air America, and

>> only slightly less cume (total unique listeners) than ABC Radio Networks' online presence.

That's a pretty impressive showing!

Perspective:
Same month stats show over 119,000 downloads of the podcast version of our own daily FOF broadcast. And we're not even promoting it much. Growth potential is huge here!
