Heaven is full of answers to prayers that no one has bothered to pray.

Late summer update, new construction, and a prayer request
A snapshot of the plans for the expansion and digital renovation of KNOM studios.
The days are getting shorter, and the first freeze will be here very soon! Berry pickers are busy harvesting buckets of tasty treats, and the fish have finished their runs. Some of the families in our listening area will spend this season canning, freezing, and processing meat, fish, berries, and greens. We rely on the bounty of the land to sustain us, in one way or another, during the dark, cold winters.
Thanks to generous supporters, work will soon begin on the Tom and Florence Busch Digital Studios. Please join us in prayer for a successful completion of this critical project.
We ask for your help with our latest batch of prayer requests. Please pray for all of our KNOM family and, especially, those who have asked for prayers for their families, friends, and special intentions. As we pray for these intentions, we ask God to bless and protect those who need our assistance.
Signs of summer, and letters of appreciation
A sign of late summer, circa 1990s: Nome resident Leona Mayac scours for wild salmonberries on boggy tundra 15 miles from Nome. (This photo was originally featured in our September 1999 newsletter.)
The temperatures are hovering in the mid-50s, and our region’s families are fishing, hunting, and preparing to gather greens and berries. They are also listening to KNOM. The radio is a constant companion for thousands of Alaskans, and if they could, they would thank all who make this radio ministry possible!
Signs of appreciation – in the form of support letters from organizations and individuals – continue to arrive as we put together our foundation grant requests for construction of the Tom and Florence Busch Digital Studios. These notes from the people who support, listen to, depend on, and enjoy the KNOM Radio Mission remind us of all the wonderful benefits you help bring to our remote listeners.
Special thanks this week to KNOM volunteer Matt Smith. He was instrumental in getting KNOM back on the air after utility workers shut off power to the AM transmitter site last week.
