WIHS GOOD NEWS
Summer 2013
FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER’S DESK
Dear Faithful Friends and Supporters of WIHS:
Jesus said: “If you love me, obey My commandments. And I will ask the Father, and
He will give you another Counselor, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit,
who leads into all truth. The world at large cannot receive Him, because it isn’t looking for Him, and doesn’t recognize Him. But you do, because He lives with you now,
and later will be in you” John 14:15-17 (NLT)
May 19, 2013 is Pentecost Sunday, the traditional day in the church calendar to
celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit and the beginning of the New Testament Church (cf. Acts 2). The Holy Spirit, who is the third person of the Triune
GODhead, is the promised Counselor that Jesus declared will live in all of His
followers (cf. John 14). The work of the Holy Spirit is essential and manifold for all
believers to live as GOD, the Father has decreed, and Jesus, the Son has exemplified.
Here are just a few examples of the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer: The 3rd Annual Bible Reading Marathon starts with
He convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment – John 16:8-11. He urges us toward the blowing of the shofars – then, Gerry Williams
salvation – John 6:44. He makes us new creations in Christ Jesus – 2 Cor. 5:17. He begins reading in Genesis 1:1!!
helps us to pray and assures us our prayers are heard – Romans 8:26-28. He helps us
to know GOD’s thoughts and GOD’s will for our lives – I Cor. 2:15-16. He gives us power to live the Christian life – Rom. 8.2. He guides
us in right paths, and away from wrong places – Acts 16:7-9. He helps us to understand GOD’s Word – Luke 24:45. He provides special
gifts to strengthen the Church – I Cor. 12 and He brings deep and everlasting peace for every believer – John 14:27.
Many more verses could be cited showing the importance of the Holy Spirit’s work in the plan of GOD’s economy. However, what is truly
needful is a careful examination of the work of the Holy Spirit in our individual lives. A personal audit of the Holy Spirit’s work within our
lives is necessary (cf. I Cor. 11:28-31). If our faith has not been initiated, established, and made secure by the Holy Spirit, then it will be of
no avail to enable us to know and serve GOD now, and to be assured of our eternal reward. The call to follow Jesus, as Lord and Saviour,
is wrought in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, and He gives us the power to respond to that call, with a divinely given faith. This is the faith
that justifies us, putting us on the right path that leads to GOD; and the faith that sanctifies us, keeping us on that right path; and in GOD’s
timing, it is the faith that glorifies us, when we reach the end of that right path which GOD has prepared beforehand for us, and all of his
chosen people.
While there is a special Day to celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit, we should use every Day to recognize the work of the Holy Spirit in
our lives; that the Triune GOD will be honored and glorified in all that we do and say. This is the desire and concern of WIHS as well; that
this Christian Radio Station will be led by the Holy Spirit and His work will be very evident in all that occurs in this ministry – through the
programs that are aired, the music that is played, the comments that are shared, and all the tasks that are done to bring the best in Inspiration
and Information to all who tune to 104.9 FM. This is truly why We’re In His Service.
Cordially in Christ,
GJ Gerard, General Manager
Your Station for Inspiration and Information -- WIHS -- where We’re In His Service

What is an EFT??
EFT is short for Electronic Funds Transfer, which is basically the ability to make a donation on-line. More and more listeners are utilizing this method of supporting WIHS. Since 2008, WIHS has been
blessed to provide this convenient opportunity to our listeners.
On the WIHS home-page (www.wihsradio.org) there is a link that
users can click to learn how to make an on-line donation. Internet
users can send a financial gift through a deduction from their checking or savings account, or they may use a credit or debit card. The
WIHS Board of Directors wants to encourage good Biblical Stewardship and cautions all donors to give priority financial support to their
local church, and to be especially careful when using a credit card, so
as not to incur continuing debt due to using the EFT service to make
an online donation.
Word for the Week
Since January 1st, WIHS has been encouraging listeners to dig deeper into God’s Word by participating in
our 2013 word study, “Word for the Week!” There is a
new word every week so it’s NEVER too late to join in!
During your regular devotional times and Bible readings, be aware
of the current WIHS “Word for the Week.” Then use concordances,
Bible dictionaries and other aids to help you to receive a greater understanding of God’s Word!
And…..as you are blessed with newfound understanding and insights,
please share them with other WIHS listeners by writing or emailing
the Station.

Letters from Listeners
Be encouraged -- see how the Lord is
working through this 100% listenersupported Christian radio ministry!
I came across WIHS in November of 2004 and gave
my life to Christ while traveling in a car to radiation
treatments for breast cancer, and have not turned off
the radio station since. My husband and I have found a
wonderful Christian Church and community. I no longer
listen to secular radio.
EMAIL LISTENER
I called WIHS for some information and ended up
talking to a very helpful and pleasant office staff
member who helped me find my current church where
my teenage daughter and myself have received Jesus
as Lord and Savior into our lives! Thank you WIHS
for all, and I mean all you do to touch our lives with the
glorious word of our Lord!
WETHERSFIELD
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful
station! I listen on the internet and am so glad you’re on
the web … I started listening in 1994 … Also, thank
you for sending the newsletters….I hope you will have
everything you need, exceedingly abundantly more than
you can ask or think to continue broadcasting to CT and
the world. I appreciate what you do and will tune in as
much as I can. Thanks again and may the Lord’s favor be
with you!!!!!!!!
DURHAM
I was able to give out a WIHS Invitation to Listen
Card today! I was at the beach when I noticed a woman
and three kids whose car had a flat tire. I volunteered
to help them, and she asked me “why are you being so
nice?” I told her I was a Christian, and was glad to help
her. Afterward, as I was leaving the beach, I remembered I had a couple of WIHS cards -- my hope is that
they might tune in and hear about our wonderful King!
Thanks for all you do at WIHS.
HAMDEN
I am so thankful to God for you and ask him to cover
this radio ministry under his Almighty wings from
day to day. I praise God for you. You help keep me in
touch with God always!
HARTFORD
I just wanted to thank you for your Christian music and
programs. They are a real blessing to me as I drive to
and from work. I especially love the contemporary
Christian music (like Michael W. Smith songs). I discovered your station one morning as I prayed to be more
God focused, and a car passed me with the WIHS
bumper sticker, so I am requesting a bumper sticker
to be mailed to me, and maybe I will have the same
impact on someone else’s life.
VERNON
Continue your great ministry. We’re blessed everyday.
Since our move to Bolton last year (from Manchester),
we’re just barely out of broadcast reach so am very glad
you’re broadcasting over the internet!!
BOLTON
WIHS has helped support my personal Christian growth
over the last 15 years. I found you while in college and now
listen on a daily basis. Thank you and God bless you all!
EAST HARTFORD
Keep up the great work at WIHS, please. It’s super to hear
a ‘Christ-Centered Radio Station’. God Bless you all.

“If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.”
Galatians 5:25 (NLT)
“GOD is interested in every part of our life, not just the spiritual part. As we live by the Holy Spirit’s power, we
need to submit every aspect of our life to GOD: emotional, physical, social, intellectual, vocational, and personal.”
(NLT)
