FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



How did the Signs & Wonders newsletter get started?
In August 1998 T. R. began writing a newsletter to update friends and family members on his ministry activities. Shortly after its debut, the Lord inspired T. R. to write his first sermon article "Are You Batting 1.000?" for the next newsletter. Following a suggestion made by a co-worker at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, witnessing tips were also included. Since then the purpose of this newsletter has been to preach the gospel and teach others to do the same.

What inspired the name "Signs & Wonders"?
Originally the newsletter was called Electronic Gospel Gazette. In May 1999 it was renamed Signs & Wonders
in response to various signs God uses to confirm direction for T. R.'s life.

Does it cost anything to receive the Signs & Wonders newsletter?
There is no subscription charge although donations are accepted and appreciated.

Are my donations tax-deductible?
Not yet.

Are printed copies of the Signs & Wonders newsletter available?
To minimize postage expenses, printed copies are mailed out only to individuals who don't use the Internet. You are free to make your own print-outs of the newsletter.

Is it okay to make copies of Signs & Wonders to share with my friends?

How about getting back issues of Signs & Wonders?

May I submit something to be posted in the Signs & Wonders newsletter?
Testimonies, Christian jokes, and evangelistic stories may be sent with the understanding that no compensation will be offered plus we reserve the right to edit your article if it is used. Original material is preferred to avoid the possibility of copyright infringement. If you still want to submit something that wasn't written by you, include the author's name if known. Because there are many "e-rumors" circulating on the Internet, it's important to verify every story you receive before passing it on to others (check out TruthOrFiction.com). Please do NOT send chain letters, petitions, virus warnings, or other messages with appeals to forward them to others. If T. R. receives something that he wants to share with Signs & Wonders readers, it will be published in the newsletter.

How did the Signs & Wonders Radio Network get started?
On April 7th, 2006 during a service at Springs of Living Water church in Fargo, North Dakota, guest speaker John Crowder stood in front of T. R. and said God wanted him to start a business that He had already spoken to him about. When T. R. prayed about this, the Lord reminded him of a dream he had four years before. T. R. was riding in a car that stopped in front of a radio station with WWW in big red letters on it. The Lord showed T. R. in this dream that He wanted him to go on the radio over the Internet. Thanks in part to an unexpected donation, the Signs & Wonders Radio Network was launched online three weeks later.

May I submit music to be played on Signs & Wonders Radio?
Christian musicians who have product available for purchase are welcome to send us their music for airplay consideration. Due to the large number of inquiries we receive, we ask that (if you have not already done so) you spend some time listening to Signs & Wonders Radio to become familiar with the types of music we use. Typically we play more modern worship sounds than conservative-sounding Contemporary Christian Music. We do not play Southern Gospel, traditional-sounding black gospel, and hard rock (unless it's melodic and the lyrics are intelligible). We also shy away from remakes of well-known Christian songs unless they have innovative arrangements so they sound "new."

Post - Signs & Wonders Radio Network - PO Box 329 - Ashland, VA 23005. Please include a short biography about yourself and/or your band plus what your goals are.
