Our Christmas Appeal Needs Help

Dear CHRI Listener,

When we were kids, my dad would leave the porch light on until we found our way home and only turned it off when we were safe in our beds.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” John 1:5

But, what do you do when you find yourself in total darkness? When there’s no light?! For two millennia, Jesus has continued to be the light, and every Christmas it shines brightly. We’re blessed to see it reflected in the faces of children, and it continues to glow in our hearts throughout the year. CHRI, your radio station, has kept that light burning in your community for 27 years, yet sadly there are still many people living in darkness. This Christmas, please support CHRI with your prayers and if you’re already a donor, thank you, but if not, please consider donating your best gift to CHRI and help keep this light of Christ shining brightly over the vast areas where CHRI can be seen and heard. Your gift will ensure that someone will see the light this Christmas.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven”. Matthew 5:16

Thank you for standing in the light for CHRI!

Merry Christmas,
Bill Stevens GM and your CHRI Team
