There is great power in hope. Hope opens doors where despair has closed them. Hope sees problems as opportunities. Hope is essential for life...so essential, in fact, that Scripture describes hope as "a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls" (Hebrews 6:19).
One of the earliest symbols of the Christian faith, the anchor has at its center a cross. For Christians, the cross-shaped anchor reminds us of the hope we have in Christ. In the same way an anchor steadies and secures a ship during stormy weather, hope-anchored by faith in Jesus Christ-holds the wind-tossed, storm-torn, and weary believer during his or her most perilous times.
An untold number of persons have written to us over the years, saying, "I felt hopeless and alone. Then I found the Hour of Power and for the first time in a very long time, I felt hope again. You saved my life." For millions of persons around the world, the Hour of Power is their only spiritual anchor. Over the past forty years, God has called on countless loving and generous individuals like you to support this ministry financially.
You have been a link in the chain that has kept the weekly Hour of Power program securely anchored on television screens. In this unsettled economy, the Hour of Power is closer now than ever to being swept away from it's mooring and will only remain "anchored" on television if you continue to support this ministry with your financial gifts.
To thank you for your generous gift of $40 (if you can-$1 for every year we've been on the air), we will send you a very inspiring poster with the words of Dr. Schuller's "Possibility Thinkers Creed" printed on it. You can hang this poster on your wall or display it in your home or office. Its words will encourage you to never give up on your dreams, to seek God's amazing solution to your "impossible" situation, and to hold on to hope through the storms of life.
While an uncertain economy continues to pose a serious threat to the Hour of Power, our hope is anchored in Jesus Christ and your faithfulness. Thank you for allowing God to use you as a vital and necessary link in the chain that will keep our faith-filled, hope-full Hour of Power on the air. Time is of the essence! Please respond today.
