“Gifts from God”, the series you heard by Dr. John DeBrine on Songtime in December 2005 and January 2006 is a multiple CD set. This CD set, "Gifts From God, Volume 1" is available for a gift of $20 or more to Songtime.Learn about your Spiritual Gifts and how they can help your local church!

Songtime USA has 6 basic ministries and this month, we are adding a 7th – “Sounds of the Past and Present”. This is a 15 minute program which utilizes the Great Expository Bible teachers of the past. Many in the current generation have never heard of them and therefore they have missed out on some of the great expositors! The result is almost a total disregard for 2 Timothy 3:16:

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness..” Help Songtime USA offer this program to hundreds of radio stations to demonstrate that the Word of God is all sufficient.

New Broadcast Announcements:

Now Available on CD!!!

This month the Book of 2 Peter taught by Dr. Dick Hubbard and F. Schuyler English. Written by Peter shortly before his death by martyrdom this book resembles 2 Timothy. It is a short letter and is not directed to any specific church or locality. It has a mes sage for Christians of all ages.

2 Peter concerns itself with the coming apostasy. Peter warns against church leaders allowing sin and iniquity to abound in the churches and that for monetary considerations He states that this apostasy will bring blindness upon people so that they no longer look for the coming of the Lord. It Is a great epistle which needs to be read and re-read often.

Last month's Bible Book-a-Month study was Haggai taught by Chester McCalley and Frank Gaebelien. Haggai prophesied after the seventy years captivity when the remnant returned to the land. Haggai speaks about the unfinished temple and his burden is to encourage the people to complete their task of rebuilding. He, along with Zechariah and Malachi, are the prophets of the post-captivity period.

Your Giving ... Reaches Many ... Now It Can Reach More !!!
Thank you for your support of Songtime over the years. We look forward to your continued support of our ministry this year as we continue to reach the lost and disciple the saved through our radio broadcasts, the Internet, and our CD and tape ministry. The following list will give you an idea of what your financial support and prayers enables Songtime to do:

Minister on radio daily with the Gospel on over 30 radio stations to many thousands of listeners. Additionally our broadcast is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week over the Internet, heard by over 1,000 people per month.
Provide many resources (both audio and documents) on our website that reach all over the world. Songtime.com is accessed by over 12,000 people per month.
Minister to approximately 600 subscribers to our Audio Magazine.
Minister to approximately 500 members of our Bible Book-a-Month.
Send evangelism materials to military chaplains to reach our armed forces with the Gospel (over 5000 sent thus far).
Provide evangelism and discipleship tools to our listening audience (in 2005, over 4500 Red Sox DVD’s were distributed)
Provide Newsletters that contain biblical teaching to approximately 15,000 subscribers.

Provide many teaching cassettes, discipleship booklets, studies and articles at no charge to those in need of biblical teaching.
Helping others get exposure of God’s work in and through them by “sharing the microphone” with our “Many Voices, One Message” so that the body of Christ is strengthened and encouraged.
These are some of the projects that would be impossible without the financial support of people like you. In 2006, we plan to continue the development and distribution of evangelism and discipleship tools, as well as ministering daily on radio and via the Internet. We receive many opportunities to minister the Gospel, such as new radio stations or the opportunity to be heard daily coast to coast on XM Satellite radio.
If we can raise our budget by $10,000 per month, we can take on these new opportunities. It’s as simple as 1,000 people committing to increase their current giving by $10 per month. Please prayerfully consider these opportunities and return the Songtime 2006 pledge card with your gift so that we can go forward with all the outreach opportunities in 2006. We cannot do it alone! Thanks again for your continued support of Songtime USA.

Mail Call - A Letter from a Songtime Listener

Dear John,

This morning we had one of our younger deacons speak at our monthly prayer breakfast. He spoke about growing up in his Portuguese family. He is the last of eight children. He said that one morning his mother was folding and ironing clothes. And he added that you can imagine how many clothes there are with a family of eight. She was listening to the radio. And who should be on the radio, Songtime with Dr. John DeBrine. She heard your program and gave her heart to the Lord. A few years later his father gave his life to the Lord. Then all the kids were brought up as born again Christians.

If it had not been for your program and your faithfulness in preaching God’s Word, they would all still be lost. If not for your program, he would not be a deacon in our church. He would not be our new Sunday School teacher. Our church would not have the blessing of him serving us ....

Your Gifts at Work

Songtime needs nearly one million dollars per year to operate, using over 80% of your gifts directly on ministering the Good News via Radio, Printed or other Media, earning a 5-Star rating from Wallwatchers.org’s Ministry Watch Report*.

CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY -- A GIFT THAT PAYS!
Songtime is sponsoring a vehicle for contributing to the ministry, for those folks who have funds to invest but still wish to earn an income for their savings. The vehicle is called the CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY. The Charitable Gift Annuity is a combination of a gift to charity (Songtime) and an annuity. For senior persons, annuity rates may be 6%, 7% or even higher! Since part of the annuity payment is a tax free return of the principal, the gift annuity may provide the donor with a very substantial income. The combination of partially tax free income and the initial charitable deduction makes this agreement quite attractive. Additionally, after all payments have been made for the life of the annuitant, a favorite charity (Songtime) will benefit from the charitable gift. If you have an interest in contributing in this manner, please contact the Songtime office or click here and a representative of the ministry will contact you with further information. Read "Why Charitable Trusts?" by Dan Celia of the Regency Foundation.
Call Songtime USA at (508)362-7070

Your support of Songtime is always needed and appreciated. Check our Songtime's 5-star rating by Wall Watchers Ministry Watch.
