TheHopeLine Excitement Continues!!

I cannot even begin to tell you how exciting (and scary!!) things are at TheHopeLine right now!! God is blessing our ministry in ways that we never dreamed possible, and He is bringing the Dawson McAllister Live radio show to HUGE markets nationwide! The latest news around the TheHopeLine is that the DM Live show will begin airing in 6 MAJOR MARKETS on June 28th- NEW YORK CITY, BOSTON, PHILADELPHIA, CHICAGO, SEATTLE, AND PORTLAND (OR)!!!! Words cannot express how absolutely INCREDIBLE this opportunity is for helping the youth of today!!

Along with the amazing news of the expansion of the DM Live show comes an ENORMOUS NEED FOR HOPECOACHES FOR THEHOPELINE!! While we currently have thousands of teens and young adults listening to the DM Live show, once the show begins airing in these new major markets (not to mention the OTHER 40-50 stations nationwide that could be adding the DM Live show in the next few months!), we will have MILLIONS of young people tuning in to the show!! Yes, I said MILLIONS!! Just think about the populations of these big cities and the impact that the DM Live show could have on the young people in these areas!!

Despite how exciting the addition of these new radio stations is, it is also daunting to think about how many more young people will be calling TheHopeLine each week. We have a wonderful, dedicated staff of HopeCoach volunteers, and they do an AMAZING job with the young people who contact TheHopeLine, but WE NEED MORE!! Potentially, we could need HUNDREDS more!!

I say all of this to ask you to please pray for two things for TheHopeLine. First, please pray for the radio show, that it will continue to be a bridge between young people and Christ. Dawson is limited in how much he can talk about God on the radio because the show airs on secular stations, BUT there is no limit to how much volunteers at TheHopeLine can talk to kids about God when they call in or chat online with us! Please pray that young people will hear the show and be drawn to contacting TheHopeLine. Second, please pray that volunteers will come forth to serve on TheHopeLine. Young people can contact TheHopeLine from 7 PM to 5 AM CST Sunday-Thursday nights and 7 PM to midnight CST on Friday and Saturday nights. As I stated before, WE NEED HOPECOACHES to talk on the phone or chat online with the young people who contact TheHopeLine!!

If you feel God calling you to volunteer with TheHopeLine, PLEASE CONTACT ME!! You can call me at (931) 489-6057 or email me at mryan@dmlive.com. You can also visit http://dmlive.com/ to find out about the Dawson McAllister Association, the Dawson McAllister Live radio show, and TheHopeLine. You can visit http://www.volunteer.thehopeline.com/ if you wish to apply to be a HopeCoach. Even if you can only volunteer for one hour a week, we need you!!

Please know that the MOST IMPORTANT THING we need at TheHopeLine is prayer! We need people praying for us daily! As our ministry continues to grow and expand, Satan will try to attack us wherever he can. We need to be covered in prayer in order to defeat him! Young people need to hear about God, about Jesus Christ, and about salvation today more than ever before. Please pray for TheHopeLine as we strive to reach teens and young adults for Christ! Thank you for your prayers!!
