Jeff Blake’s children are all fourth-generation students at Phoenix Christian Preparatory School. And as the school superintendent, nothing could make him happier.

Phoenix Christian was founded in 1949 as the state’s first Christian High School, and now serves infants through 12th-graders in the heart of the city.

Jeff himself began as a teacher there in 1997, and is passionate about how the role of the school has changed to serve a diverse community, reflecting the neighborhood that has grown up around the campus. He likes to say that it’s a school “of no majority” with students from all backgrounds, including international students from Asia, Europe, and Africa.

The Rescuers radio show provides an opportunity to spotlight people who are working behind the scenes to make this world a better place. These people serve as inspiration and idea starters to encourage others to find creative ways to impact their community, their city, and the world.

Host Art Brooks has spent his career in broadcasting, both as on-air talent and in representing the industry as president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association for nearly 30 years. He was the driving force behind an Emmy-winning series of documentaries on drug abuse that combined a phone bank of 100 seasoned counselors and history-making "roadblock," as every TV station in Arizona and many radio stations broadcast the groundbreaking show on the same day at the same time. He also was instrumental in starting AZ AMBER Alert (one of two states in the nation where broadcasters initiated the program), helped form the Native American Broadcast Institute at Northern Arizona University and consulted with broadcasters in Bulgaria to help build commercial radio as the country was coming out of communism.

Rescuers airs 5:30-6 p.m. AZ time Thursdays on KPXQ-AM Faith Talk 1360, beginning May 7, 2020. Based in Phoenix, it is available internationally online. We invite you to submit names of heroes you think would be good subjects for the show - just message us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rescuersradioshow/
