You may be impressed by the fact that Lt. Colonel Ivan Wild is a fourth-generation member of the Salvation Army. But that’s only because you haven’t met his wife, Lt. Colonel Jennifer Wild – a fifth-generation Salvationist.

They have dedicated their lives to an organization that does many more things behind the scenes than many people are aware of. In Arizona alone, the Salvation Army serves about a million meals to hungry families each year with emergency food boxes, congregate meals, and home-delivered meals.

Salvation Army shelters are more than just putting a “head on a bed.” They provide meals and basic material needs while clients work closely with case managers to access community resources to increase household income and locate permanent housing opportunities … helping clients to become self-sufficient.

They also provide emergency disaster services, and no-fee adult rehabilitation centers that help people fight substance abuse and return to their communities as contributing members.

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/
