Aim for Hope

Editorial by Kevin Krueger

Is your heart leaning toward stress today or toward hope? Take a moment to consider Jesus’ promise in John 14:27 — I am leaving you with a gift — peace of mind and heart.

Take hold of that promise today, grip it with all your might. Perhaps you’ve wondered for years about where you’ll find peace of heart.

Gary shared with us, “I struggled with drugs and alcohol for 30 years. Last year I began listening to WGTS. You led me back to God and helped me find a church. Because of WGTS, I’ve made major changes in my life and have been sober for seven months.”

WGTS 91.9 listeners helped the station end the year financially strong during its “Year-End Fundraiser." More than 1,400 listeners called in or shared their financial gifts online. For every $250 gift, the station provided 10 meals for hungry people in the Washington, D.C., area. At the conclusion of the event, the station raised enough money to feed more than 22,000 people.

This year in Washington D.C. there were 13,000 kids who probably wouldn’t have gotten anything for Chrismas.  Their parents signed up with the Salvation Army to get some assistance.  The Salvation Army’s goal was to provide toys and gifts for those children, and they enlisted WGTS 91.9 to help. 

WGTS 91.9 held a live remote with Johnny and Stacey from the afternoon show to invite people to Potomac Mills Mall to buy and bring toys for the Salvation Army Angel Tree kids.   Listeners brought hundreds of toys and many also selected gift tags off of the Angel Tree to shop for a specific child’s wish list.

Normally Washington Capitals Hockey fans or Washington Wizards Basketball fans pack themselves into Capital One Arena in downtown Washington D.C., but on a recent night, it was Christian music fans filling up every seat of the arena.  Over 13,500 WGTS listeners sang along with every song on the Unity Tour featuring Hillsong Worship, Casting Crowns and Elevation Worship.

“I've been to many sporting events in D.C., but to see all of Capital One Arena filled with people praising Jesus was something that still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. It was an incredible night to be a part of,” said WGTS Midday Show Host Becky Alignay.
