Hi, I'm Johnny Erickson Tata, and I cannot believe it's more than 40 years since I started doing radio. I think it was back in the early 80s when Al Sanders, the founder of Ambassador Abertizing Agency, visited my home. I'd been bedridden all summer with stubborn pressure sores. I mean, just look at me, paralyzed, helpless, and bed, I was no radio host. But Al smiled at me at the bedside. He realized the lessons I was learning needed to be passed on to others. He believed in me, and how Jesus could encourage many others through the broken vessel of my body. You know, it's a powerful thing when someone envisions success for you, when you cannot possibly envision it for yourself. So today, think of someone like me who needs to hear, you know, God can really use you. And if they're reluctant, tell them about Isaiah. When God wanted to use him, he responded with, here I am, send me. Those are good words to get you started.
