DIFFERENT WAYS PEOPLE COME IN CONTACT WITH THE WORK
The ways in which people first come across our literature or broadcast can
be fascinating. We thought you would enjoy these interesting accounts of
how some have recently come in contact with the Work.

the dials of the radio and the next morning, to my surprise,
the program was different! It was your program on WMAQ out of
Chicago.
