God’s word teaches us that being thankful ought to be a way of life, but it’s easy for us to forget all God has done in our lives. Cultivating a thankful heart results from speaking thankful words every day. We are so excited to share with you three of our featured artists this month and what they are thankful for. As we begin to reflect on all of God’s blessings, we will see that life looks brighter when we see it through the eyes of thankfulness.

I want you to know something; I firmly believe and will stand on theidea that ministry and ministry alone will insure the future impact of K-LOVE. In order for us to serve God in the manner He expects, our every moment must be focused on Him and what He wants us to do. Part of that is putting others first, before our own needs and wants. In this issue of Impact Magazine you find some great stories about 3Strands Global ministry, a nationwide Single Moms Event, the See You At The Pole day and the release of “It’s a God Thing vol 2.” All proof that you are makinga difference in the world by sharing the stage God has given us. Pleaseenjoy this edition of Impact Magazine. Thank you.

In His Service,

Mike NovakPresident & CEO

“When my eyes were opened to this, I knew Ihad to do something,” said Apricot Lane Boutique CEO and Co-founder of 3Strands Global, an organization with a mission to end human trafficking by raising funds, building public awareness and education efforts — then most importantly, by providing sustainable jobs for young women rescued from human trafficking.

TODAY, MORE THAN 29 MILLION PEOPLE

AROUND THE WORLD ARE SUFFERING IN

HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND IT’S NOT OKAY.

Two million of these individuals are children.

As K-LOVE partners with 3Strands Global, their vision isa world free from human trafficking. 3Strands provides jobs, raises funds, builds awareness and provides education and resources to fight human trafficking by partnering with more than 15 anti-trafficking organizations around the world. Wedo this because human trafficking is not okay, and we believe every single person can make a difference.

3Strands’ focus is to partner with organizations “on the ground” to provide employment and resources to both rescued andat-risk youth in communities impacted by human trafficking. 3Strands has partnered with the AIM Employment Center in

Cambodia where they work to educate, train and employ the rescued victims, who produce handcrafted bracelets and products to be sold here in the United States. “Sustainable job opportunities play a big role in breaking the cycle of human trafficking in the U.S. and abroad,” said Don Brewster, founder and executive director of AIM. “By employing the victims, the cycle of human trafficking can be broken, and these young women can be restored.” In Cambodia, the girls receive food, education, housing and restorative counseling to empower them and lift their reputation in the community.They are also shown that they are loved unconditionally.

... a Vision to END HUMAN TRAFFICKING

myKLOVE is a mobile app that features different acoustic performances as Resources, including the video by PLUMB singing “Need You Now.” The comments reveal how God is using the song to touch lives in a major way. Here are a few ...

“I used to sit alone feeling hated... then the spirit said, come on Joe, join the family of God!”

“God helped me break my alcohol addiction, I should be dead but now I’m writing about my savior!”

“This song has helped me so much. My husband of 32 years went home to Jesus...but I know that God is in control.”

Throughout the month of October we were honored to present our Single Moms Events with our sole purpose to be the hands and feet of Jesus to precious women who hold the hardest job on earth. From the attendees and businesses that donated their resources, to the volunteers who gave their time and energy – the participation at every location was involved and heartfelt.

Throughout the country our events team spread God’s love to thousands of women and their children, presenting opportunities for them to receive pampering services such as free haircuts, massages, manicures, family portraits, and makeovers, which were given by numerous business owners within each area. We also provided practical services such as groceries, clothes, oil changes, and flu shots. We made sure that every mother walked away with her arms filled and heart full. Several locations provided a coffeehouse setting, inviting the women to build friendships as well as provide a place to rest, receive prayer, and at some locations an engraved Bible. While most women enjoyed a day of refreshment and meaningful conversations, there were also several women who were exhausted and at the end of their rope. These overworked and overtired women were able to open up to each other and unload their burdens as they were pampered and rejuvenated. This was a much needed and appreciated event for these single mothers. They knew they could relax while we took care of their children at our Kid Zones with games, movies, and face painting. Many women thanked us for hosting an event that ministered specifically to them and they shared how it made them feel loved and special. Comments such as “I feel blessed,” and “it was a wonderful blessing,” as well as other gracious comments were heard throughout the country where these events took place.

Big Daddy Weave’s newest song “Overwhelmed” reflects a humble attitude of a group that has been sharing music with us for over a decade. “As children of God we were made for a lot more than just knowing things about God,” shares Mike Weaver, lead singer. “The Word says we are temples of His Holy Spirit. We are designed to be carriers of His presence. So when we are born again, we are made ready for a whole lifetime of encounters with the King of the Universe.”

This song reminds us of just how good God is, which should cause each one of us to run into His arms unashamed because of His mercy. Big Daddy Weave’s prayer is that you will be overwhelmed as they are by just how awesome God is!

“Hello, I just want to first say that K-LOVE is my “Happy Place.” I struggle with anger and doubt everyday, and ever since I started to listen to K-LOVE I’ve slowly learned to pray before reacting. I lost my brother the day after my 22nd birthday and I was so angry with God. It’s been almost eleven years and that anger I used to feel has diminished - all because of K-LOVE and God. I have no idea what I would do without you guys. I’ve also started going back to church and I’ve even got my boyfriend going to church as well. I just wanted to mention approximately 13 people were led to Christ at my Brother’s (T.J.) funeral. Praise God!!!”

In 2010, Eric Moser joined us as CFO to head up our talented Finance Team. This group performs specific tasks to ensure that all donations are used in the wisest way. The department is broken up into five categories, which include Tax, Financial Analysis, Accounting & Payroll, Accounts Payables, and Donor Processing.

By being good stewards of what God has entrusted to us, we ensure that all donations are used and distributed to pay down on balances from the purchase of past stations as well as funding for day to day activities and expenses. A specific account has also been established to set aside a contingency for future expenses. All new stations now purchased are paid for in cash, incurring no debt for the future.

“I have always tried to break the stereotype of accountants,” said Moser. “Twice a year we take time out to serve at the Placer Food Bank, and also participate in Bible studies within our department. This place is a mix of ministry as well as having good business practices.”

When angels appear in hospital rooms, backpackers walk away from terrorist attacks, and young autistic girls become ballerinas overnight, you know there’s much more at work than mere coincidence. The answer? “It’s A God Thing.”

With over twenty-eight years in the publishing industry, author Don Jacobson teamed up with K-LOVE Radio to compile an incredible collection of modern-day miracles. “It’s A God Thing Volume 2,” will open your eyes to the beautiful wonders that God performs in every day life and motivate you to see His very real and tangible presence all around you. But, don’t take our word for it. Read a snippet from the book below, and when a miracle happens to you, remember, “It’s A God Thing.”

HERE IS PART OF A STORY ...“The old truck was struggling up the dirt road that wound up the hill, but it was a beautiful summer day to be out with the family. It was 1976, and my husband, Steve, was driving the liquid feed truck for my dad, delivering feed to dairy farms for their cattle ...”
