Betsy King made history on the golf course. She played collegiately at Furman University in Pennsylvania, where she was on the 1976 national championship team. Betsy joined the LPGA Tour in 1977, and won six major championships and claimed 34 LPGA Tour victories in her career. She is a three-time LPGA Tour Player of the Year (1984, 1989, 1993). In 1995, Betsy was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.

She made history on the golf course; but she made a difference when, following a 2006 trip with World Vision to Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia, she founded Golf Fore Africa. Betsy took this trip with a prayer in her heart to hear God's call in her life on what she could do to help the poor of Africa. To date, Golf Fore Africa has been able to give $10.5 million dollars to fund schools, health clinics, and most recently, clean water projects in five different African countries.

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/
