LAKE FOREST, CA (ANS) -- Dear friends: A huge thank you to all of you who sent me suggested slogans for ANS. Many of them were terrific and then one I liked the best is “Your Global Link with the World.” I will hold off for a few more days to see if you have anymore suggestions or if you like this one. Let me know

Santos with The King of NYC Street Doo-Wop “Dion” during an Australian Tour 1985

I wanted to let you know that my special guests for His Channel Live with Dan Wooding this Thursday (July 3) will be Santos, the super percussionist and "Born-again Doo Wop" singer, who will tell his dramatic story of his rise to fame in the music world and his subsequent battle with drugs and how God delivered him to serve Him all over the world. Santos had toured nationally in the United States with a Who's Who of the music business, such as Weather Report and Fandango, sharing tour dates and stages with The Charlie Daniels Band, The Outlaws, Pure Prairie League, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Moby Grape, Judas Priest, and the Marshall Tucker Band.

But he had a terrible secret that was destroying his life -- he was addicted to drugs, a habit that nearly had him sentenced to life imprisonment. But then a miracle began to happen in his life when former teenage idol Dion DiMucci, who had such hits as “A Teenager in Love,” “Runaround Sue” and “The Wanderer,” told him to totally give his life to Jesus Christ. He did and later was completely delivered from his habit at Calvary Ranch in the rodeo town of Lakeside, a suburb of beautiful San Diego, California, which offers 24 hour-a-day care for every resident.

The one hour live broadcast begins at 7:00 PM (Pacific Time) and you can watch it on the Internet at www.hischannel.com. It will also be re-broadcast at 3:00 AM on Friday and also 11:00 AM – both Pacific Time.

Sid Barnes

Then on Sunday (July 6), my special guest for Front Page Radio on KWVE 107.9 FM at 5:00 PM (Pacific Time) is Sid Barnes, a British engineer who made his fortune in the US before God called him to give it all up and move to Ghana, West Africa, as a missionary.
