Dear Friend of KHCS.

Here at KHCS, Joy 92 FM, we have for the past 15 years been bringing to our listeners in the Coachella Valley Information and Inspiration 24 hours a day. Our purpose is to glory our Heavenly Father by presenting programs and music that declare Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We also present programs that give information to the Christian community that will not be found in the regular media. This is information designed to encourage us as well as keep us informed about issues that threaten our Christian values and ultimately the American way of life as we know it.

This month I would like to give you a few examples of this. Being in the political season and with elections coming up, we need to be informed as we discuss topical issues with friends and associates so we can communicate with a Christian world view. Secular progressives and those opposed to Christianity are making their views very well known.

An example is the Marriage Initiative that will be on the November ballot. Many of our programs have had much to say about it and point out it is a Biblical issue. This is why we must support and vote for this.

Some of the programs I would encourage you to listen to will give you the kind of information you can use to inform yourself and others. Issues in Education, which is heard on Saturdays at 7 AM and 3:30 PM, will give you valuable information about Islam and the importance of the upcoming election with respect to Judges that the next President will nominate.

Answers with Ken Ham, which is heard daily at 10:30 AM and 2:30 PM, along with Back to Genesis, heard daily at 7:04 AM and 4:04 PM, give us solid information showing the Bible can be trusted and evolution falls short of science and cannot be trusted. The program Science, Scripture and Salvation, which is heard Sunday evenings at 8:05 PM, is a dynamic program that features scientists and qualified people presenting some of the fine points of God’s creation that will convince you evolution is an adult fairy tale.

Truths that Transform, heard daily at 7:30 PM, has excellent information on many topics we as Christians need to know to build up our faith as well as making us great witnesses for the Lord. The Legal Alert is heard daily at 8:30 AM and 12:57 PM and gives us great legal advice which can help churches, Christian organizations and individuals do legal things correctly and keep them out of trouble.
Then there is Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council who just reported the City of San Francisco has 2 measures on the November ballot that are disgusting. One would make prostitution legal and the other would rename a sewage plant to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

We do have many other programs of encouragement that are uplifting and informative. Programs like Focus on the Family, Insight for Living, The Point, Prophecy Today, Cal Thomas Commentary, Phyllis Schlafly Report, Intentional Living, Let My People Think and many others.

Since Joy 92 FM is only for the Coachella Valley, we have some local programming which we feel benefits the Christian community. The Desert Christian News program is the radio version of their television program. This program gives us news about churches, outreach ministries and events happening here in our area. The program is heard on Wednesday afternoons at 5:30 PM.

Psalms of Hope with Samantha is heard on Sunday evenings at 7:00 PM. Samantha Landy is a long time resident involved with many Christian ministries here the valley. She is the author of several books, several dealing with single men and women. Her program is lighthearted and encouraging with beautiful Christian music.

For Ordinary Christians is a program, that is heard Sunday evenings at 7:30 PM, and is designed for Christians to learn about the Christian religion, it’s roots, the difference between denominations and what the Bible has to say about many issues we take for granted. The program is hosted by Fred Stoutland, author and Bible teacher whose passion is winning souls for Christ. Fred also does interviews for KHCS with organizations and people here in the Coachella Valley that affect our daily lives. They are generally heard at 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fred is very appreciated for the giving of his time and help to KHCS.

Well, we are halfway through a very warm summer. As you might imagine, this time of year people have a lot things going on with their lives and supporting Christian radio sometimes gets put on the back burner. KHCS Joy 92 is here for you all summer long. We prayfully ask for you to be a financial partner with us in honoring our Lord Jesus Christ through Christian radio. Your prayers for us are very important and we appreciate hearing from you with your comments.

In His Joy,
