Well the dust has settled and the Sharathon ended with $187,000 pledged! After Sharathon, we received more pledges from people who hadn't called during the campaign. Based on that I feel we will have what we asked for. |
Our goal this year was a stretch for both our listeners and for the station. We all had to exercise our faith. But stretching and exercise are needed to stay fit. God has given us a victory! We have a healthy start to our eighteenth year! For those who were able to help we thank you. For those who are still deciding what they will do to support WCIF in this coming year just let me say we need your help. The goal we reached was the low end of our proposed budget. With your help we can go further. There are projects and needs your support will help make possible.
SHARE TEAM: Todd Isberner, Neil Stavem, Mel Johnson |
Once again, we want to thank our friends on the "Share" team: Mel Johnson, Todd Isberner and Neil Stavem. As usual they did a great job helping all of us, listener and staff alike, stay to the task and have the right attitude about our fund raising campaign. |

As we begin this eighteenth year, let me ask you to continue to support us in your prayers. This is a spiritual battle. There are hurdles and barriers to overcome. |

But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts. I Thessalonians 2:4

INDIAN HARBOUR BEACH - Even this small gift helps me to keep from taking WCIF for granted I know, from traveling to other areas, there is no radio station quite like WCIF. Thanks so much!
MELBOURNE - I do want to support WCIF, but I will not be making a pledge. We are currently commit- ted to other ministries. We will send contributions as we're enabled by our great God and Heavenly Father. We will be praying for many to come to Christ through WCIF and for our Father's blessing on your ministry. We want to thank you and our Father for you because you totally proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and God's plan for the ages. We delight in the messages of J. Vernon McGee, Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, and Tony Evans. We really thought the Christmas Season on your station was superb.
SATELLITE BEACH - Thank you so much for the newsletter, and your mes- sage "Entrusted with the gospel" was absolutely just great. I just knew you were a great preacher. My prayers are with all of you at this time and I do hope and pray that all goes well and people to be generous with their gifts for Shara- thon. The picture on the back of the newsletter of the Sharaton team was nice to see their smiling faces appear like rays of sunshine. May God bless all of you there and I will be listening part of the time. Love to all in our great Savior and God.
PALM BAY - I praise and thank God for life and the opportunity of listening and being blessed by your programs by God's grace I will continue to pray for the visiting team and all the daily workers. Also unity and goodwill to continue throughout this new year; I pray for the salvation of new listeners especially the youth. God willing I'll continue to do my little part. Enclosed is a $ gift, and will continue my gift of $ monthly.
COCOA BEACH - I will be out of state for Sharathon 1997. But, before I leave, I want to make sure my pledge is in the mail to you. My prayers are with you for the most successful Sharathon ever!!! Thank you again and again for the light your fine programming provides on a 24 hour basis!!! May God continue to bless the station and each and ev- eryone of you who staff it.
SATELLITE BEACH - I thank the Lord for your station, your music and the love of Christ that is poured out to the people of Brevard County. I wish we could hear praise reports during the Sharathon of the people who have gotten saved by "stumbling into" your station! We will also be praying for your station during the Sharathon that you reach your goal for '97.
PALM BAY - I am so happy in the Lord for all His blessings to us, and for the telethon. I am enjoying every moment of it and praying that many will give as the Lord bless and He will take those precious brothers back home safely. I am proud of Palm Bay folks, so if it's His will that we see another year it will be richer for us all in His name because He is a Sun and Shield and nothing good He will withhold from us.
MELBOURNE - Thank you for all of the gifts of love you share each and every day. May God continue to bless your ministry. Love in Christ
SATELLITE BEACH - We really appreciate the inspirational music and messages we hear daily on WCIF. Thanks for the constant reminder that we can trust the Lord to meet all of our needs!

VERO BEACH - This is a great station for anyone who loves the Lord. I have prayed that the Sharathon is a great success.

COCOA BEACH - I just want you to know that I appreciate you so much. There have been times the music has lifted me up. Also that God has had a word for me during one of the teachings. And the teachings help me to grow in the Lord. You have blessed me so and I know you do te same to others. I'm so happy you are a part of our community. May God bless all of you abundantly.
INDIALANTIC - I travel several times a year. We search out other Christian radio stations and we both agree WCIF is the best. Your blend of programs reaches so many areas of life. You are a blessing to so many.
MELBOURNE - Your programs and ministry are a tremendous benefit to me daily. I've been encouraged and grown in faith in this past year. I wish I could get the radio station at work . . .
