First and foremost please pray. Pray that what we say, what we play, who we bring to the area, and all of our planning would be what God can use to make a life changing difference in the lives of people. Also please pray that we would have the finances it takes to not only stay on the air but also reach out even more with the "Good News" here in Central Kansas.
Secondly tell somebody else about KJIL. That's right word of mouth is still the best way to spread the word about "Radio for Life". You can also do it with a bumper/window sticker of license plate on your vehicle. Let us know how many you need when you call 877-813-5366 or drop us an email(radioforlife@kjil.com).
And thirdly, if you can, be the answer to your prayer for finances. Give as you are able, after you support your local church. Whether it's a one time, occasional or monthly gift remember it's an eternal investment in the lives of thousands. You can donate online, set up an EFT(Electronic Funds Transfer) or just mail your gift to KJIL, P.O. Box 14, Abilene, KS 67410.

Quote: 1. My calling - Ministry - The ability to portray His Son in all of His glory. 2. The foundation for life begins with understanding God’s grace; our direction in life comes from following God. 3. Blood stains, but the blood of Christ bleaches out the stain of sin. 4. Faith in Christ will manifest itself in works. 5. Prayer is the most continuous expression of trust. 6. Prayer life leads to obedience, which leads to discipline, which leads to joy.
"Words of Life" is a FREE two-minute pre-recorded program that airs Monday through Friday at 4:35 a.m. & 9:10 a.m. It's a wonderful opportunity for listening area pastors to share words of encouragement, a mini sermon or something special God has laid on their heart with listeners in our area. We urge pastors to share church location, contact information and service times at the end of each message.
Each week we feature a different pastor on Words of Life. If you're interested drop us an email(radioforlife@kjil.com) or call toll free, 877-813-5366 to find out more and/or to make an appointment to record five two-minute messages.
This ministry of KJIL is your opportunity to share with thousands of listeners in Central Kansas. (Our coverage area covers 14 counties and potentially 350,000 listeners.) Since 30% of Christian radio listeners do NOT attend church this may be an opportunity for someone to connect with you and your church. It is a free service for the churches in our listening area and is not dependent on your support of KJIL.

Quote: "God gives us the keys, but without our effort the car will never get up to 60mph. Life is too short to be chauffered around. God's waiting for you to put the key in the ignition. Start the car. Apply your foot to the accelerator, now enjoy the journey. Don't forget to turn on the OnStar (Jesus). GPS doesn't stand for God's Point of Surrender. God is the Pilot & the Air Bag. You are supposed to be the Co-Pilot!"
