OUR SITUATION
As we begin this new fiscal year, we’re facing a unique challenge: both donor support and sales declined in July and August. Typically, when one stream dips, the other helps balance the impact. This time, however, both were down simultaneously—making the start of FY25/26 more difficult than anticipated. Thankfully, we’re seeing signs of recovery in both areas. But we have significant ground to make up this quarter, and we cannot do it without you.
Your partnership is more than appreciated—it’s essential. If you’re able, we ask you to consider renewing and increasing your support during this critical time. Every additional gift helps us continue to bring hope, healing, and the message of Jesus to those who need it most.
Your generosity is a lifeline. Whether it’s helping a family find stability, guiding someone in their faith journey, or offering peace in the midst of uncertainty, your support is making a real and lasting impact.
OUR APPROACH
Thanks to your support, our mission to encourage people into a growing relationship with Jesus through media remains strong. STAR 99.1 continues to reach lives through radio, our mobile app, online streaming, The Jesus Table, and meaningful interactions on our prayer wall and blog.
Even in challenging times, the message of hope we share is accessible 24/7—bringing light into dark places and reminding listeners that they are not alone.
As we reflect on the start of this fiscal year, we are reminded of the importance of staying rooted in faith and community. Your partnership ensures that the message of a loving God reaches hearts across the Tri-State Area and beyond.
We are honored to walk alongside our listeners and humbled by the stories of encouragement and transformation that come from your support. Here’s one such story from Lilliana:
“It gives me a sense of peace every single day when I’m on my way to and from work. But most important it has reached the ears of my significant other and now he walks around singing some of the songs and it brings joy to my heart!” – Lilliana
