“Hold On” Comforts a Donor A donor who has been through a lot in her life says that listening to Joy FM, especially the song “Hold On” by the Greens, helps her through each tragic event. We sent her an 8 x 10 of the lyrics inside a pretty picture frame for her to “hold on to.”

Melody Gets Her Own Joy FM “Experience” (From Melody)

“Sometimes, you become the one that is given an experience from Joy FM. It’s a hard season. This was on my desk.”

“Hold On” Comforts a Donor (From Wendy)

“I ran into this sweet lady who I’ve talked to over the phone. She was at my church’s Women’s Conference, and loves Joy FM! I even found out that I used to work with her sons back in my medic days!”

Joy FM Helps Me Get Through Nearly Every Day

“...I’m thankful for Joy FM. I’m a big fan of Carolina’s Beach Music and I still listen to that sometimes, but as time goes by I listen to Joy FM more and more. I’m lucky that I can get both on the radio because I’m old and love my radio. Today I’ve enjoyed Brenden, Josh and Mrs Candi. Joy FM helps me get through nearly every day. Thank you.”

Spiritual Nugget of Encouragement We are always grateful to be uplifted and encouraged by our listeners!

“Hey, Tammy (left), came down front at church (after the service) crying, and telling me how every time she turns the radio on, you have given her a spiritual nugget of encouragement that she needed at the exact time she needed it. I told her I’d pass it along to you.

If you ever question your reach for the Gospel, remember Tammy!”

Day Sponsor Honors Joy FM Team A day sponsor chooses to honor the Joy FM for their day of programming. We are thankful the Lord knows when Joy FM needs encouragement also.

Gratitude and Appreciation

“Hi ... Just wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation to all of the office personnel, the DJs, and everyone on the team at your awesome station.

Life has been throwing me a lot of curveballs during the last several months. Your station, Wendy’s very beautiful care package, and all your prayers are the only things that have been helping me to at least semi-manage a little bit in daily life. Thank you so much for everything you have done and everything you will continue to do. God bless all of you richly.

Numbers. 6:24-26 goes out to you because this is my all time favorite scripture in the Bible.”

We received this sweet note in the mail from an anonymous donor.

God Has the Best Timing This email came from a listener in Northern Ireland.

“Hi. As an avid listener of Joy FM I just want to share something with you. A few months ago I was working very late one Saturday night at church. (I am the cleaner of the church, my husband, myself and young family belong to) It was pitch black outside and I was locking up the building.

I turned off the lights, set the alarm, lifted the mop bucket outside and then locked the door. I felt afraid as I fumbled with the key in the lock of the door. I prayed to the Lord that the security lights would quickly come on as I couldn’t see and felt scared. I had been listening to Joy FM that evening as I cleaned and a different programme came on not long before I had finished cleaning for the night. Old Gospel songs were played. Well, just as I was praying for the outside security lights to come on, the song “For His Eye is on the Sparrow and I know He cares for me” was played.

Immediately the security lights came on and the moon came out suddenly behind a cloud right above my head!

Everything happened at once. I felt comforted and assured that the Lord was looking after me and heard my prayer.

It was a profound moment. I don’t know who sang that version of the song but it was beautiful and touched my soul on that late, dark night. Thank you for such a wonderful, encouraging and uplifting Christian radio station. I couldn’t live without it. May God bless you all at the Joy FM studio. I am from Northern Ireland and I tell lots of people to tune in and be blessed. Yours in Christ

The Cross Proves You are Loved

“I am not normally listening to Joy FM during this time because my work does not allow us to stream music anymore.

I ended up going to the bank earlier than I normally do. Heading back to work I heard the speaker that said to pick out 10 truths about you from scripture and how he has a cross that proves how much he is loved. It’s exactly what I needed to hear. I have been struggling this week and it’s mostly because I have not felt loved. Thank you for the reminder.”

Attitude of Adjustment to Focus on God This is a letter we received, and it shows the impact of our daily on-air sharing over the years.

Signal-Savvy and Full of Joy This man loves radio (and Joy FM!) and can rattle off various signals without missing a beat. He stopped by for a tour and visit with the Joy FM family, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to hang out with him.

Joy FM Brings New Friends (From Wendy) This sweet lady, Joan, is a donor whom I befriended over some common things in our lives. I was able to visit WCQR, a sister station in Tennessee, and called her up to see if she wanted to go out for dinner. We had a wonderful time and plan to meet up again.
