“And just wanted to let you know, since the Emerson Day show I have listened to nothing but WPER. I love how it feels like a family! I actually decided to be a monthly giver during your fall fundraiser.” ~Jenna

Listener Dana was so excited to meet Heather! As a teacher, she finds so much encouragement through WPER!

Katy Nichole Concert at Virginia State Fair We ran a ticket giveaway weeks before the concert. We asked the question: “Tell us what you love about VA,” and surprised the winners with front row seats for the concert. We had so many listeners stop by our table to thank us for being Virginia’s Home for Encouragement!

A listener blessed us a with a large box of homemade kettle corn during our fundraiser!

Former business partner, Erick Diello with Virginia Horse & Home, re-started supporting the ministry of WPER!

This is what Eric and Amy look like when a donor makes them a yummy milkshake during fundraiser.

A SWEET listener/donor/volunteer made us homemade tiramisu during our fundraiser and hand delivered it to the station!

“I lost my husband 5 years ago and WPER was my lifeline that helped me get through that time. I was able to reinstate my nursing license so I could go back to work and now I want to give back!.” - Julia “I see God every day, giving me strength and wisdom to carry on. It’s important for WPER to stay on the air so other people can see God too!”

-Jeff

“We are so thankful God is over our lives! WPER has been praying for our adult daughter & our blood pressure.

We’re happy to report our daughter is in a much better place & we are doing a lot better as well. We are looking forward to seeing what God has for us in this new season! We are thankful to have WPER lift us up in prayer during the difficult times & for having the right songs on at the right time to help during every season of life!

-Amber & Ray

ENJOY READING SOME OF THE STORIES & TESTIMONIES FROM OUR FALL FUNDRAISER

“One of the things that helps me most in life is Christian music, and I love listening to WPER: the music, the DJ’s the stories, the testimonies. The music just speaks to me so much. Gives me hope, helps me feel not so alone, reminds me of God’s love and that He is there!

Thank you so much!”
