Event 1: West Virginia State Fair for the Anne Wilson
My Jesus Tour
Spirit FM had the wonderful opportunity to be at the fair in WV and enjoy the Anne Wilson concert with donors and listeners. The turn out was amazing and the smiles were contagious! Luke Bower was the opener for the concert and he crushed it! With every person who came to the table we were reminded of how powerful God’s word and impact is. Many people who listen to our station continue to encourage and thank us for what God has been doing through the ministry!
From Shelley, from a listening family in Hinton, WV — “We listen every day! Very uplifting. We love hearing our kids sing along!! It’s so nice knowing there is something appropriate on the radio for our children’s ears.”

From Grace — “Your station is such a blessing to me. I’ve been listening for 15 years. The music got me through two domestic violence divorces and many health issues. I couldn’t have done it without you. That’s why I support the station.”
Our God is so amazing! I love seeing how His hands continually heal, deliver and redeem!
From Grace — “One of our listeners, Melba called in because she wanted to make a gift towards our Fall Fundraiser, and after speaking for a few minutes with her she shared the most profound reason on why she loves listening to her Spirit FM. Melba said, “ I love it because almost every time a song plays, God lays a specific person on my heart which prompts me to pray for them in that moment while the song is playing.” She uses the messages that are played through our songs as building stones for her prayers..”
From Grace — A listener sent us a text message this morning. #PraiseOverPanic! #WorshipOverWorry!
“I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed this morning thinking about everything that I need to do and how little time I have to do it. I was listening to Spirit FM in the car and “Praise” by Elevation Worship was playing. There is a line in the song that says “I’ll praise when I feel it and I’ll praise when I don’t.” I was convicted right there in the car about focusing on myself and my problems. I started to sing along and praised the Lord. I just felt my anxiety melt away. A few minutes later Jess commented that praise shifts your focus from your problems to God’s presence. Let me testify this morning to the truth of those words. Thank you Spirit FM for encouraging my soul this morning.”
From Doug — “I just talked with a listener and she has a 3 month old granddaughter, Wrenlee Elizabeth, that was born with some heart issues and is facing open heart surgery when she turns 6 months old. She has had some issues recently and they have been treating her to help push the surgery back. She has had an enlarged valve which is stressing the other side of her heart. She goes to a cardiologist in Roanoke for a consultation and to check on the enlarged valve. They are praying the valve has gotten smaller and the surgery can wait. She also shared how Wrenlee’s mom heard “God Turn It Around” on Spirit FM and now plays it when Wrenlee is having a tough time. Wrenlee has even started humming along with it.”
One of our listeners and sweet sisters, Teresa, stopped by the Studio to record her story today. She also has been going in hard making these beautiful “Letters from Home” for our Military Service members. Let me tell you... she has such a powerful testimony and a fire for God!

One of our listeners from the Open House Celebration stopped by this morning. She has called the station several times prior and we’ve gotten to know her story, and pray with her. While at our Open House, she discovered our “Letters from Home” proof of mission for our active, reserved and veteran military members. Our sweet sister stopped by this morning to drop off her testimony that she wrote out, along with this piece of art she made. Not only that, she came by last week, the morning after our Open House, to drop off a $120 gift - I believe that was the last of her financials. Please be in prayer for her. She is moving out of her apartment, and has no cell service. “But God, “ she said! She has her faith in our Lord, her radio station (Spirit FM), and Wishbone (her little doggie).
Since June we have started our Welcome Kit sign-ups. People new to the area will join our listening family and receive a welcome kit that includes a sticker pack, a frequency card, and a Spirit FM magnet. Today we have had a total of 97 new listeners to our Spirit FM Family!
From Joseph —
“Tuesday I had the wonderful opportunity to go to God’s Pit Crew to drop off 4,524 Butterfly Hugs for the Blessing Buckets that PAR collected! I got to meet Mrs. Miki, and her husband, who run the Blessing Buckets department of God’s Pit Crew. It was truly a blessing to see how a ministry that has been around since I was a little kid is staying so strong! I also got the opportunity to put a blessing bucket together!”
