On air every first Saturday (Feb, Apr, June, Aug, Oct, Dec)

I was saved watching a Christian television show in 1983.  Back then you actually had to stand up and walk to the TV to change to one of 4 channels available to us.  I had been reading the Bible and writing inspirational music for a few years when I became interested in information about the Word of Jesus. I wasn’t paying attention and before I knew it the show’s host was giving an invitation to accept Jesus as my Savior. When I jumped up to turn the channel he pointed out at the audience and said, “Don’t you touch that dial, you’re going to sit down and pray this prayer.“  He was speaking to millions of people but I knew he was speaking to me. I sat down to pray and was overcome by the power of the Lord. When I got back up off the floor about 45 minutes later, I was a new creation in Christ.

Many wonderful things have happened in the years since, by the powerful hand of the Lord took control…not the least of which is the purchase of our new building.. After twenty two years of leasing, it is good to be in our own new home in the village of South Onondaga.  I have really enjoyed sharing what the Lord puts on my heart for ‘Pastor For the Day’ with the wonderful listeners of Mars Hill Network Radio.  My only difficulty, being a typical evangelical pastor, is limiting my talking to five minutes.  I know my brothers and sisters in ministry will get a kick out of that honest admission.

Blessings to All,
Pastor Michael Kerlin
