A GIRL TOLD HER MOM, “I WANT TO HUG JESUS.” THE 88.3 WCQR CHRISTMAS TREE WAS A
GIANT “LIT
TLE JESU
S.”
It wasn’t long after I gave my heart to the Lord in 2009 that I started listening to WCQR. One of the first songs I remember hearing was I Can Only Imagine. This song and WCQR have encouraged me in my walk with God in so many ways. I want to thank you for all that you do for us and the kingdom of God. ~ Woody
A Heartfelt “Thank You” We received this sweet letter that shares exactly why we do what we do and encourages us to continue. God is doing great things through 88.3 WCQR!

We All Need a Little Jesus Our Christmas tree in Founders Park, Johnson City, was not easy to miss - it was a very large “Little Jesus.” We kept receiving photos from friends and family who had stopped to visit Jesus at the tree.
“Rhonda, William, our 3 year-old grandson saw this and immediately said he wanted to see Jesus! He stood there and looked at it for several minutes. We saw it was WCQR and we had to share to tell you.” UPLIFTING • ENCOURAGING • HOPEFUL • WORSHIPFUL • GROWTH

Chapped Lips? We received this email from a listener and donor, Candy: “Hi Casey, I thought I’d send a quick note to say the lip balm I picked up has come in handy. I’ve been in Indiana for almost 3 weeks helping my parents and it’s pretty dry here although it’s been snowing a lot. Even with drinking a lot of water my lips were dry. I remembered I had the lip balm in my purse, and it’s helped a lot!”
Ring in the New Year A friend on Instagram, Brittany, sent this photo along with this message: “Ending the year with No Survivors.” What a great song to end the year on! Thank you for sharing, Brittany!
