His drug use and 35 years of alcoholism had caught up with Jim Morrissey. When he was arrested for DUI for the seventh time, instead of facing a few months in jail, he was looking at seven years in prison.

Then one day he opened Pastor Greg Laurie’s “New Believer’s Bible,” and his life would never be the same.

Today he has personally placed 2,198 copies of that Bible into people’s hands; and has sent another 4,000 to various churches and rehab centers. He started a nonprofit, Direction, Instruction, and Guidance (D.I.G.) Ministries, to help both youth, and those seeking help from drug and alcohol addiction.

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/

Randy Elliott’s passion is serving his “orange church,” the incarcerated at Yavapai County Detention facilities in Camp Verde and Prescott.

As chaplain, he drove more than 19,000 miles last year to lead Bible studies, distribute Bibles and devotionals, and minister. He leads a team of letter writers that sent more than 1,500 messages to incarcerated women. He offers a Bible correspondence course that 900 people completed last year. And he distributed more than 1,200 Bibles in 2023.

That’s all just numbers. What will touch you about Randy is the genuine heart he and his wife Rhonda have for service.

Bruce McCracken was first interested in helping marriages and families when he was in college. Wisely, he figured it might help to have a little experience in a marriage himself, so waited a couple of decades after he and his wife Karen got married, and got his Ph.D. in Christian education before starting The Marriage Hub.

The couples they seek to help are not just struggling in their marriage, but those who are at the crisis stage, maybe even actively in the process of divorce.

Key to the program is the Marriage Intensive, a 20-hour in-person experience aimed at reunification. Each couple receives a marital satisfaction form prior to the intensive, after the weekend and then six months and one year after the intensive. They see an average of a 20 percent increase in marital satisfaction.
