Grace Boards
For many years we have had a message board community up and running. Long before there was a Network of stations here, in fact, long before a single station was here at all, we had Grace Boards (GB). GBs is a wonderful thing but it can get lost pretty easily in the shadow of the other aspects of our ministry here.
I would like to invite you to join GBs. It’s free to join, you just need a valid email address. The board software will then send you an automatid email with a confirmation code for you to verify that email address. Once you do that we try very hard to approve you for access to GBs within 12 to 24 hours and sometimes much sooner.
We have these verifications in place because GBs is a place dedicated to healing. People really open up and bear the details of their hearts and lives so out of respect for those hearts we try to go an extra step or two to verify you are a real person and are not there to just spam, etc…
Once you are approved, you will find almost 200 like minded believers with almost 30,000 posts in over 30 different individual boards making up the collective Grace Board Community.
GBs is completely staffed with Administrators, Global Moderators and regular Moderators from all over the United States and even some from Europe to help guide you and help things go smoothly.

First of all, it’s my pleasure to announce to everyone that all three of our stations are now back up and running thru iTunes. Apple had a few technical issues on their end including an update server that crashed on them unexpectedly which caused a delay in getting two of our three streams updated. After speaking to them on the phone, it has all been sorted out and all is again well there. I know many of you enjoy iTunes for all three of our stations and now you can do that again!
In January of this year we launched our third station, The Healing Wind, and over the last 30 days it has set new records solidifying itself as the undisputed second most popular station we have just behind our flagship station, The Healing Stream.
Last month we had what we felt was a very good turn out for the Weekend of Fire conference here locally in Central, Ohio and we now look very forward to September 18, 19 & 20 for the upcoming Kingdom Rain conference. It has been an incredible 2009 here at the ministry with one notable exception, that being our giving.
Five of the last seven months have seen giving short falls to this ministry. This has created a number of immediate financial needs that threaten our current compliment of ministries that we currently freely offer to people.
One option we could look into is starting to sell advertising on our radio stations. While this sounds good on the surface, remember that the average radio spot is 60 seconds long and the normal “flow” of music that you have come to expect from our stations would be interrupted up to three times an hour if we went this route.
Another option we have is to make our stations available only by paid subscription. While this would help financially in the short term, the obvious draw back is the compromise of our mission to help facilitate the presence of God freely to the entire earth.
I’m asking The Holy Spirit to touch 3 of you reading this to sow a very special one time gift of $250 USD.
I’m also asking Him to touch 4 of you to sow a very special one time gift of $100 USD.
That is a total of 7 special people who can step forward and bring the much needed rain to the dry ground here so that the tens of thousands that enjoy us monthly can continue to do so. Otherwise we will have to make the very difficult decision of what station to cut off and what other services to scale back on.
To give, please just go to http://healingstreammedia.com/donate and thank you for being a yielded instrument in the hands of God!

Would it surprise you to learn that over 26,000 people from 189 countries of the world have enjoyed our radio stations and other ministries in just the last 30 days? Those same people have launched our stations over 62,000 times in the last 30 days as well. We are growing and it is glorious!
Each of our stations has it’s own My Space page totaling now well over 4000 collective friends. The Healing Stream Media Network page on FaceBook has now surpassed 1600 fans. Even this mailing list I’m using to send this to you has grown to well over 1000 people. Our new website, healingstreammedia.com has almost 100 people that have joined it with absolutely no outward promotion of any kind as of yet.
Even with this recent growth, incredibly, less than one tenth of one percent ever give a financial gift to help keep us going. We’d like to believe most listeners would help if they were asked but despite running promos and talking about it live on the air, we are still coming up short month after month.
Did you know, even if just 1% gave here, that’s one in every one hundred people, we could expand to do extra radio stations, upgrade to nicer equipment and reach hundreds of thousands more? The thought that you would give to this ministry has the devil very nervous. Anytime the Kingdom of God advances, the enemy get’s ruffled. At the same time, as we are so close to a clear victory with our numbers, the weekness in our giving each month cannot continue. We must see financial increase if we are to maintain and then grow more!
I am asking the people of God to step in here and sow an unusual financial seed into this Kingdom based ministry. To do this just go to our giving page, http://healingstreammedia.com/donate.
Yesterday’s faithful givers have enabled us to be here today for you now. I’m asking you to now see past today and look with me into tomorrow. See people that you don’t know listening from countries you don’t live in. See the same powerful times with the Holy Spirit that you enjoy here being enjoyed by thousands of others who currently don’t even know we are here for them.
Will you empower this ministry financially to embrace this glorious future for the thousands that await? I pray the Lord is already speaking to you as you read this about sowing an unusual financial seed into this ministry. We must not only make up the June shortfall but we have to bring in enough to cover July and turn the corner from provision to abundance so we can begin to pay for the incredible growth that the Lord has blessed us with.
Once again, to give, just head to our donate page, http://healingstreammedia.com/donate and thank you for doing the very best you can right now at the critical time where so many hearts hang in the balance.
For the King and His Kingdom in the earth,

We have found a way to help fund the ministry but it will most likely take a few months to really get going. here’s a note I posted on Face Book…
_________________
Being in churches and Christian circles for years, Lori and I have been approached many times about various home businesses and money making opportunities. We didn’t feel right about doing anything where someone could get hurt and sadly, almost everything we ever saw had that as a possible outcome.
We are excited to announce that we have now found something safe and exiting that we feel we can stand behind as not only Christians but also as everyday people trying to make ends meet, just like most of you are.
For us to be successful in this, we need to help others become successful too. To do this, Lori and I are ready to commit some time and energies to 12 people (or couples) that understand how beneficial it is to have people like us helping and mentoring you in a new business.
With Lori’s product knowledge, my recent weight loss (of almost 160 pounds now) and our combined enthusiasm about this, we stand ready to help 12 people who are at least somewhat serious about changing their financial lives just like we are.
Are you one of the 12 to come and grow with us? If you are, email me with a phone number and the best time to call and we’ll tell you all about it and answer any questions you might have.
052209 – A Fourth Station
We have talked amongst ourselves here at the ministry about the possibilities of doing a fourth radio station in The Healing Stream Media Network. A new station takes a lot of time and effort to get up and running not to mention a small truck load of cash. Sure, there are cheaper ways to cut corners and quality, but we believe the timeless message of the Kingdom of God deserves to be heard in digital quality and clarity.
We had not mentioned this to anyone but a month or so back now an Apostle gave me a word about a fourth station. It had to be a Word from God as he could not have known any other way. he told me someone would sow a $5000 seed toward a fourth station and it would come to pass.
As I was before the Lord this morning, I believe He has spoken a release to me about making this public so if everyone could pray that would be wonderful.
If you are the one to sow that $5000 seed, do so with confidence as the Lord has come before you and prepared our hearts with the wisdom to receive it. To do that online go to http://healingstreammedia.com/donate
As always, we will keep everyone updated on our progress.
