April 2009

Greetings in Jesus! "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." James 1:5

Things to Pray About...
Would you join the board & staff of The Bridge as we seek God for:

• Wisdom in planning & preparation for Bridgefest '09
• Meetings with Sayreville, NJ Planning Board re: a new signal in the Old Bridge, NJ area
• Ongoing financial needs for upgrading our transmitter for our 89.7 facility
• Prayer for a smooth and problem free weekend move to our new office/studio facility in Old Bridge, NJ on April 3rd & 4th.

Thanks for praying!

Keep Your Eyes on the Road - Weekdays at 3:00pm Thank you for listening to The Bridge and "Keep Your Eyes on the Road!" When Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life," he used the word for "way" that also means "road." This is where we got the name for our show. So this April, may God's Spirit help you to keep your eyes on Jesus: the only road home to the Father. Amen. You can read John's complete bio - click here! Listen to Featured Teacher Interview

Add Covenant Eyes Software to Your Computer!
I want to bring to your attention a new affiliation The Bridge has with an organization called Covenant Eyes. Internet pornography is devastating people everywhere and causing great harm to individuals, families, marriages, businesses, and society. For a very low monthly cost (as low as 27 cents per day!) you can add Covenant Eyes software to your computer, your children's computers... or even your business computers... adding protection and accountability to your employees.

The software can do two things... first it effectively blocks offensive sites from coming up on any computer that has the software... and second... it can send a weekly report to an accountability person you select. The best part... by signing up for Covenant Eyes through The Bridge, you're providing our ministry with income through the affiliate program we have with Covenant Eyes. You pay the same low, low monthly fee that everyone else pays... and we receive a small monthly contribution directly from Covenant Eyes.

What a great way to add this important software AND support The Bridge at the same time! Just go to www.bridgefm.org and click on the Covenant Eyes logo for info and to sign up.
