OUR SITUATION
The news around us can feel heavy and uncertain, making it easy for
people to lose focus on hope and truth. In seasons like these, the ministry of STAR 99.1 plays an important role by providing a steady place where listeners can be encouraged and reminded of God’s promises.
As we moved through the third quarter of our fiscal year from January through March, your faithful support provided stability during the winter months. Because of partners like you, STAR 99.1 continued to be a trusted source of hope and encouragement for listeners across our region.
While individual giving remains the foundation of this ministry, we continue to navigate a challenging economic environment. Advertising and sponsorship decisions often take longer than usual, creating complexities we are carefully managing. Even so, we remain grateful for how God has already provided and we move forward trusting Him for what lies ahead.
OUR APPROACH
Our mission remains clear: to encourage people into a growing relationship with Jesus through media. Your partnership makes this possible every day through on-air programming, our mobile app, online streaming, The Jesus Table, and meaningful engagement through prayer and digital platforms.
Throughout Q3, many listeners turned to STAR 99.1 for comfort and reassurance during long winter days and uncertain moments. Whether at home, at work, or on the road, the message of hope remained available around the clock.
One listener shared:
“Star has been there for me through it all. During hard times, during good times,
and all the times in between. Thank you for being uplifting and reminding me
that Jesus is always there for us.”
– Amy from Highland Lakes, NJ
Stories like this remind us that true ministry impact is seen in hearts encouraged and lives strengthened.
OUR RESPONSE
Established in 1931, STAR 99.1/WAWZ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a long history of sharing hope and encouragement through the message of Jesus. As we continue through FY25–26, we remain committed to stewarding this ministry well and ensuring listeners have constant access to truth, worship, and hope.
During the third quarter alone, your partnership helped generate nearly $594,000 in pledged and received support, providing essential stability. We were also blessed by a $100,000 stock donation from a generous supporter who shares this mission, and we are deeply thankful for this reminder of God’s faithfulness.
As we enter the fourth and final quarter of the fiscal year, $438,414 remains to be raised to meet our
FY25–26 operating goal. While this is a significant amount, we are encouraged by what God has already done and by the partners who continue to stand with this ministry.
With this Partnership Update, we are prayerfully trusting God to provide $74,000 by May 29. Every gift, given in any amount, is sincerely appreciated and makes a meaningful difference.
Your partnership is more than financial support. It is ministry. Because of you, hope continues to reach listeners across our region each day. Thank you for standing with us.
Blessings,
