The Lighthouse Report Is Now Called Making Your Life Count
Greetings! We are excited to announce that the program title of the Lighthouse Report with Steve Douglass is now Making Your Life Count.
Since 1999, the program has championed the Prayer, Care, Share lifestyle with regular examples of changed lives. We will continue to communicate this simple, yet powerful strategy that any follower of Christ can practice.
The strategy has been refined even further by adding a necessary element, Walk, to the process. Program host Steve Douglass says "a daily Walk with Christ is a necessary ingredient in living a fruitful life. It is the key to really Making Your Life Count! "
He believes that Christians want to make a difference, and that they want to make their lives count for God. "We are very excited in giving listeners practical ways to make an impact for eternity"
The newly re-titled program will feature the same format featuring real people and real stories to benefit listeners with practical ways on how to make a lasting difference.
For the benefit of listeners, ministry partners and station partners, this website will continue to provide an opportunity to listen to and share the daily programs, as well as to download the monthly zipped files.
Stations are encouraged to let us know if they are continuing to download the zipped files. For those who wish to become Amb-OS affiliates, please contact us to get permission to receive the daily feed.
