No One Saw This Coming!
25 years ago, 99.1 JOY FM, actually… wasn’t on 99.1 FM…
It was on a tiny signal that most of St. Louis couldn’t even hear. The reach may have been much smaller at the time, but God had big plans that no one could see at the time!
Because today, JOY FM is heard on 99.1 and is one of the most listened to radio stations in St. Louis! Reaching 350,000 people every week with the hope of Jesus!
God’s plans didn’t stop there.
Over the last 25 years, God has opened doors no one could’ve even drempt up at the time, such as:
-
JOY FM Prayer Bears reach thousands of kids in area hospitals and foster homes, reminding them they are not alone.
-
88.1 WorshipOne launched this year to reach a generation that is leading the way in Bible sales, campus baptisms and church attendance. The music of this move of God is: worship.
-
Our sister station, BOOST 95.5, is the #1 Hip Hop station in St. Louis and is growing in Chicago, Minneapolis, Portland, Pittsburgh, Austin, Phoenix and Ohio.
Every door opened has this in common.
Every door God opens is both a way to reach more people and an invitation to join the mission. Your giving fuels JOY FM, BOOST, WorshipOne and impacts over half a million people for Jesus, which means that God is working through you in ways you can’t even imagine. He’s using YOU and doing immeasurably more than we could have ever imagined 25 years ago.
When you give, you’ll receive a thank you t-shirt(s) or we can donate a prayer bear on your behalf for every gift of $250 or $25 monthly. This year, choose a commemorative 25th year CHOOSE JOY shirt, or the very first WorshipOne t-shirt, as a thank you.
Thank you for being on mission with JOY FM.
No One Could Have Predicted This
There was a day when JOY FM was more static than music for most of STL. And now over half a million people are being reached! JOY FM, BOOST, WorshipOne, Prayer Bears, Billboards, Free Bibles… God is doing more than we could have ever imagined.How does all of this happen? God. And You. Thank you.
