A radio station needs LOTS of equipment to run! From transmitters to software, there is a lot to take care of. We have wonderful volunteers who mix and match, fix and patch... but even the best maintained equipment needs replacing at some stage! Help us with the cost of upgrading ageing computers that run our vital programs!!

☎️☎️☎️ Over the weekend, volunteers at 105.1 Life FM had an emergency phone-call. It was a special mission to rescue 40+ packets of fresh Easter buns and distribute them so they didn't go to waste. Mission accepted! 💪💪💪

Caz, Robbie and Brax of the Dough-si-Dough Sourdough Bakery in Strathfieldsaye were responsible for the contribution to Bendigo's Easter festivities and we were grateful Life FM could help connect the lovely buns to tummies. ARC church volunteers agreed to hand out the buns, with some going to the homeless.

We can positively confirm that all buns went from possible waste to many waists! 👏👏👏

It's amazing what Bendigo's Life FM volunteers get up to on an average weekend! Thanks Caz and Robbie. Awesome job! (One or two of 105.1's volunteers may have tasted the produce--just for a quality check, of course!😉)
🙏🙏🙏

We were going to take a photo of the buns, but the time-sensitive mission took precedence, and now it appears they are... well, gone. 🧐

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH This week, we’re praying BIG prayers for the global Church, for what seems IMPOSSIBLE to man is POSSIBLE for God. THIS SUNDAY, 5 November 2023!
We all want to see God do the impossible, but sometimes when we pray, it can be hard to know where to start. The world is full of pain and suffering, and many Christians suffer greatly for their faith; but God answers prayers, and He specialises in doing what seems impossible to us! CHECK OUT THIS LINK for resources and info to help you and your church pray. https://www.opendoors.org.au/get-involved/international-day-of-prayer/resources/
