The Briefing: MacDill Lockdown, Iran War Escalation, Rescuing 350+ Children & Faith in Action

On this St. Patrick’s Day, the Bill Bunkley Show moved beyond green rivers and parades to honor the true story of St. Patrick—a kidnapped teenager who became a priest with a lifelong passion for protecting vulnerable children. In a powerful, faith-filled broadcast, Bill dedicated the program to both St. Patrick’s legacy and the memory of his late mother, who instilled in him a love for the impoverished. Joined by Tom Lewis of Cross International, the show rallied listeners to sponsor severely malnourished and orphaned children in Malawi, Zambia, and Uganda. With just $62 per child providing food, clean water, medical care, trauma counseling, Christian education, and a Bible for a full year, Central Florida listeners responded heroically—surpassing the minimum goal of 322 children and going beyond to rescue even more. A moving celebration of hope, transformation, and living out Christ’s call to the least of these.

St. Patrick’s Real Heart: Rescuing Children in Africa – A Special St. Patrick’s Day on the Bill Bunkley Show

In this compelling episode of The Bill Bunkley Show (The Briefing), broadcast live from Tampa studios on Salem Radio and reaching all across Central Florida, host Bill Bunkley opens a faith-filled Monday, March 16, 2026, with solemn remembrance of the six brave U.S. service members lost in a tragic KC-135 refueling aircraft mid-air collision during Operation Epic Fury. He shares their names and stories—including three from MacDill Air Force Base’s 6th Air Refueling Wing—and calls on Christian and Jewish listeners to pray for grieving families, while honoring their ultimate sacrifice in support of strikes against Iran.

The program features an exclusive briefing from U.S. Central Command Commander Admiral Brad Cooper, detailing 16 days of overwhelming U.S. and partner firepower: over 6,000 combat flights, destruction of more than 90 targets on Karg Island, dismantling of Iran’s naval drone facilities, attack drone factories, missile depots, and over 100 naval vessels—severely degrading Iran’s ability to threaten the Strait of Hormuz, manufacture weapons, or project terror across the region. Admiral Cooper highlights Iran’s reckless attacks on multiple neighboring countries with cluster bombs and affirms America’s resolve to eliminate ballistic missiles, drones, and naval threats while praising the unsung logisticians sustaining the fight.

Interwoven with urgent calls to action, Bill leads a campaign to rescue the final 31 children (down from 322) from severe malnutrition in Malawi, Zambia, and Uganda through Cross International. A one-time $62 gift per child provides a full year of vitamin-fortified food, clean water (often via new wells), medical/PA care, trauma counseling for orphans who’ve witnessed horrors, schooling in reading/writing/arithmetic plus Christian education, and their own Bible—transforming lives as heard in moving audio of rescued kids quoting Scripture. A leadership gift of $1,922 would close the campaign entirely.

Listeners also enjoy an inspiring interview with Steve Shwetz of Through the Bible (ttb.org), celebrating Dr. J. Vernon McGee’s timeless, systematic teaching through Genesis to Revelation—now in its 56th year, airing weekdays at 5:30 a.m. and Sundays at 5 p.m. on the station—along with rich resources like Bible Companions, the app, and global impact stories, including a powerful testimony from Afghanistan. The episode culminates with Pastor Reza Safa, a former radical Shiite Muslim from Iran and author of Inside Islam and The Coming Fall of Islam in Iran (nejattv.org), who shares his dramatic conversion, historical insights into the 1979 Islamic Revolution and Shiite 12th Imam theology driving the regime, the explosive growth of underground Christianity in Iran (one of the fastest-growing evangelical movements worldwide), and hopeful prospects for a post-regime future aligned with regional shifts favoring Israel and the West.

Blending breaking war updates from President Trump and CENTCOM, heartfelt prayer, veteran and listener engagement, and tangible opportunities to live out faith through giving and learning Scripture, this episode powerfully intersects current events, biblical truth, and compassionate action at the crossroads of faith and life.
