Happy New Year! "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come" 2 Corinthians 5:17

Exciting Announcement! The Bridge completes purchase of 98.9
We're excited to announce that the Poughkeepsie, NY signal that we had been leasing for the past year... is now ours! Thank you Lord! When we were informed that there was a buyer for the signal we had been leasing... we didn't think it would be possible to keep it. God had other plans! With the help of a ministry partner offering us financial assistance... we were able to close on the signal on December 19th. What a wonderful reminder that God is in control! This signal reaches nearly 200,000 potential listeners... and we're excited that the Word of God will continue to be boldly proclaimed through The Bridge in the Poughkeepsie, NY region! PTL!

January Featured Teacher - Dr. Michael Youssef

Dr. Michael Youssef Leading the Way - Weekdays at 3:00am & 9:30am
Each New Year brings a multitude of resolutions. Why do we consistently make resolutions, knowing we hardly ever keep them? It is because humanity is constantly striving to find purpose in life. Whether it is through an improved self-image, new endeavors, or greater success, people are looking to find meaning and contentment here on earth. All of these attempts at true joy are futile unless Jesus is at the center. That is why Leading The Way passionately proclaims the uncompromising Truth of Jesus Christ here and in 200 countries around the world. Without Jesus, everything is meaningless and without hope - both here on earth and for eternity. I thank God for you and for The Bridge. May you have a Happy New Year in Christ!

Add Covenant Eyes Software to Your Computer!
CovenantEyes.com 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.
