4 Announcements Some dire news from KNGN: KNGN has had to liquidate their reserve assets to cover expenses. With this liquidation, KNGN has, at best, 3 months of operational funds left, after which, KNGN will have to shut its doors and cease broadcasting. If you value Lutheran radio programming, if you value the mission of the Church to proclaim the Gospel of Christ Jesus Crucified for sinners, then KNGN implores your aid. For without your financial contribution, KNGN cannot survive, and the world s only independent full powered LCMS radio station will cease to exist. Send your donations to Road 717, McCook, NE 69001, or visit and click on the Donate to KNGN button. Help KNGN stay on the air!

John 10:16. The sheep know the Shepherd s voice and we delight to go where He leads. Of course, the world, the devil, and our own sinful flesh want to pull us in another direction. But following the Shepherd means life, and following anyone else means death. So no matter how difficult the path is that the Shepherd points out: let us follow Him!
