You’ve probably noted Steve Arterburn’s absence on New Life Live! of late. Steve was hospitalized weeks ago with heart and kidney problems. The heart issue was cleared up quickly, however, it led to a severe double-kidney infection. Unfortunately, the infection has taken three weeks to clear up with strong antibiotics.
While dealing with his own health, his 95-year-old mother, Clara, entered hospice care. Clara passed away on May 8. Steve spoke often and fondly on the radio about his mom—they were close, and she was part of New Life’s family. Fortunately, Steve managed to visit her not long before she passed, and Clara was able to say, “I love you,” as her closing words to Steve.
Clara was a charter member of Club New Life back in the year 2000. In recognition of her faithful support to New Life for all these years, the family has asked that, in lieu of flowers or other expressions of comfort and support to Steve and his family, you make a gift to New Life Ministries in memory of Clara. Your gift can be applied to the current matching challenge✨➡️ https://bit.ly/44ajCGW
Next week, Steve will be at the National Religious Broadcasting convention, where he’ll be presented with the award for New Life Live! as the Radio Program of the Year. We’ve missed Steve and look forward to his return to the broadcast!
