We have been on the air almost 4 years playing the best in Inspirational/Christian Country music. Playing some of the best artist in the world and some of the BEST weekend shows on the air anywhere… BUT we need your help.
We are at a crossroad that we don’t like and we pray YOU don’t like either. We are right now using a system called a T1 line. Its a high speed computer line that sends a signal to a satellite unlink, which in turn sends a signal to the Galaxy 23 satellite and THEN to earth…Where SKYANGEL picks us up ….Now you may be confused but don’t worry…HERE IS WHERE WE NEED THIS HELP…This is an EXPENSIVE part of ICR programming but we have to do it THIS WAY . We have tried cheaper ways but we got what we paid for. The problem is we had an individual that was paying OUT-OF-POCKET the full cost of this system…BUT he is not able to do it anymore and we are afraid we might have to drop it…The cost is $3000 per month…YES I SAID THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH.
We are asking TWO things…..
1. We are asking for YOUR prayers for the funds to come so we don’t have to drop this valuable programming option…
2. We are asking that YOU prayerfully help with the funding of this programming option with a monthly gift…
This station has been totally supported by YOU. EVERY PENNY COUNTS. We have those that DO make a monthly gift and we want to say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS …We PRAY that those that don’t step up and help also… Dont know if you understand it or not but YOU are helping spread the Gospel thru music..I have hear from MANY listeners about YOUR station that YOU are supporting helping them thru hard times…
I am going to leave this at that…If you would like more information contact me at
Russ@icrfm.org and we can discuss this in full. DO NOT FORGET we are a NONPROFIT STATION, and your GIFT is TAX DEDUCTIBLE….. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS……………….Ricky Russ

‘Father, hallowed by Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation’”
Luke 11:1-4

Will you forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face
from me?
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death, and my enemy will say, “I have overcome Him,” and my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.
But I have trusted in our lovingkindness; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.” Psalm 13
