Mike Bondora - KCFY Station Director
Host of Midday Cafe'
The BONDORA Family...in Yuma, ARIZONA!!!??? This ain't Mississippi, ya'll !!! ...it's not quite heaven, but we are certainly seeing the heavenly happen! YES, God is MOVING, here, in the desert Southwest!!!
My beautiful wife, Valerie, our four children: Juston (now in the U.S. Army), Andrew (now living on his own), Chloe (a young college woman!), and Haylee (one of God's girls on High School campus) moved here in 2000. Since moving to Yuma, God has blessed to serve in local Yuma churches, build lasting friendships, & has tremendously increased our area of influence. We now serve among an awesome family of Jesus followers, at Trinity Christian Center (TCC), as Associate Pastors, & are so amazed to see the Spirit continue to empower everyday people!
In addition to being in ministry, a full time High School English teacher, and fabulous mom, in her “spare time” Valerie completed her Master's & is now Title I Dept. Chair. YES, she is amazing!!!...and I am extremely blessed!!!
We've been here for these years and I still have friends, back East, continue to ask me, “Why, Yuma?”...All I can say, is God called us and we're here, until He says differently! The reality being, regardless of our current residence, we are actually ambassadors for Jesus, proclaiming His amazing grace & having a blast doing it!
Though Valerie and I have been in full time ministry since 1996, this “radio experience” only started in August of 2002. this is His ministry and He allows us to be a part of it. Though I came onboard with KCFY in 2002, in actuality, a job interview never 'officially' occurred. Greg Myers and I simply 'hit it off' and were both gifted with the same passion of seeing people introduced to our glorious Lord, build up believers in Jesus Christ, and being catalysts for unity among God's family. After a short time, we also discovered God had brought us together for greater purposes than either of us had dreamed of, at least, in quite some time. In the short time of being a part of this media-ministry, God has allowed us to assemble an anointed and progressive team, each of having different roles and talents, working together, in unity. Wow, the Bible, in action! 1 Corinthians 12:18 (NIV) “But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be”.
As Paul also points out, in that same chapter, our roles are different, but we work together, as part of His body! This is just a glimpse of the potential, as the Family of God focuses on Jesus and works together under His direction!!!
No...He's not finished with me, my family, KCFY, OR YOU! I can't wait to see what He does next!!! Are you willing to be a part of it?!?!?

Wow! How fast time flies…it has been over a year (Feb 2008) since I was helping create material for Greg. God has shown his faithfulness to me time and time again. He showed it by giving me an amazing dad who took care of my 3 sisters and me when my mom left. He was faithful when my dad packed us up and moved us 2,300 miles away from the city to the country (yes, I am a BARDarian)> He has given me an amazing job. Not only that, but a job that I enjoy doing and a family (my dad, my sisters, anyone I missed and EVERYONE at KCFY), that has been there for me. Yes, at times life can get hard, but I just look at the cross and I am reminded of what Jesus did for me. It is an incredible feeling, when you are happy just by doing what you love and what God has called you to do. I feel that God has called me to minister to others about the AMAZING love Jesus Christ has offered us all through radio. I am happy with what I have accomplished and I am blessed beyond measure. I cannot wait to see the plans that god has for me in the future. I know without a doubt in my mind, that He has plans to prosper me and NOT to harm me. Plans to give me a hope and a future. – Jeremiah 29:11
