What is the organization's primary exempt purpose? To offer instruction and training in basic life principles based on the foundation of Judeo Christian tradition and morality through the medium of radio broadcasting.
Describe the organization’s program service accomplishments for each of its three largest program services, as measured by expenses. In a clear and concise manner, describe the services provided, the number of persons benefited, and other relevant information for each program title.
28 Word Radio Educational Foundation was organized to provide a platform to establish non-commercial educational Christian radio broadcasting to communities within the reach of its radio broadcasting facilities which would proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and teach Judeo Christian principles for life. Word Radio continues its outreach through WSEW 88.7 FM broadcasting from Sanford, Maine, to points in southern Maine, seacoast and inner regions of New Hampshire, and northeastern Massachusetts along the I-95 corridor to Boston. Word Radio brings together its three other radio stations in a separate but similar format as Community Life Radio, operating WRKJ 88.5 FM in Gorham, Maine, reaching into the Westbrook-Portland area, WMTP 91.1 FM to the Mount Washington Valley region, and has been able to upgrade WMEK 88.3 FM in Kennebunkport, Maine during this report period. Funding to support the ministry of Word Radio and its broadcasting outlets comes through the generosity of individual donors, participation by program producers, and partnerships with churches, ministries and interested businesses that share the goal of providing Christian programming to their communities. A Christmas Gifts and Year End Giving Campaign was undertaken again this year in November and December by on-air spots and updates with over $22,000 coming in from listeners response. Again this year we were able to conduct the fundraising effort without any disruption in broadcasting daily format by short daily reports of the funding progress. This method of conducting the fundraiser was gratefully appreciated and unique from most fundraising methodologies. As with last year a small percentage of our estimated listenership actually participated in the fundraiser. We are thankful for the few listeners who care enough to participate in our radio service funding to sustain our presence both for themselves and others. We continue to be thankful to a small base of regular supporters and many donors who respond when prompted by God to do so and we receive His provision through them. Because our listeners also support many of the programs heard on Word Radio and Community Life Radio, their contributions help to continue the excellent biblical teaching heard each day on the stations. Because many program producers share back with the stations by returning a percentage of the donations directly attributable to the listeners of the radio stations, then there is again a broad base of supporters who give indirectly as well to the work of Christian broadcasting heard on all of our stations. There is also a base of impact partners who participate in the financial support and includes churches, ministries and Christian businesses who believe in the eternal effect of broadcasting the Word of God over the airwaves. Throughout 2014 great effort was expended in radio engineering, FCC license applications, legal oversight, and construction activities for WMEK, Kennebunkport. The result was that the operational listening area was greatly increased in and around Kennebunkport, Kennebunk, Biddeford and surrounding areas on 88.3 Mhz. Word Radio added this year a second separately programmed format called, "Community Life Radio" for WRKJ, WMTP and WMEK in addition to the original format referred to as "Word Radio" or "Eighty-eight seven FM", airing on the 24-hour format of radio broadcasting presented by Word Radio via WSEW. Community Life Radio - WRKJ, WMTP, and WMEK continues to be primarily religious, utilizing, for the most part, national programs produced by Christian program producers and Christian organizations and churches as well as more short features and a bit more contemporary Christian music. The 24-hour format of WSEW continues to be available for streaming on the internet. To reach the spiritual needs of listeners, Biblical instruction continues to be abundant in the form of sermons, dramas and special programming from a variety of speakers and program producers. Many programs aired on all stations are evangelistic in nature, but all programs faithfully present the written Word of God to the listeners of all Word Radio stations. To assist listeners in being informed about the culture and community, listeners have been treated to conservative, Christian world-view talk shows on relevant subjects with opportunities for listeners to call in with comments and/or questions. This has included Point of View Radio Talk Show Monday to Friday afternoons aired live on WSEW 88.7 and by recording on WRKJ-WMTP, In the Market each weekday with Janet Parshall brings current events and many timely topics to the listeners who can also participate by calling on topics of their interest. Midday Connection on WRKJ-WMTP is aired each weekday afternoon bringing relevant topics primarily to women in the listening audience. Magazine format programs provided relevant spiritual and motivational topics for individuals and families alike, including Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk, Focus on the Family, Haven Today, and Songtime USA. Saturday magazine format programs include Building Relationships with Dr. Gary Smalley , Songtime USA from Cape Cod airing twice daily on both formats, and Breakpoint from the Charles Colson Center. World Magazine continues to provide their weekly one hour program heard on all the stations at least once each weekend, and also has daily short feature news segments. Straight Talk USA with host Tom Zimmerman is aired two times a week on Community Life Radio providing to the listeners commentary about happenings in the State of Maine and the nation. Inspirational music aired from 1 AM to 5 AM on WSEW, WRKJ and WMTP as an outreach to the working audience as well as the awake and awakening audience. Late Saturday afternoons and evenings were devoted to music of varying genres, from Christian oldies, to classic oldies, the Pat Boone show, bluegrass, a locally produced daily devotional and music program and contemporary Indie style. Sunday programming included music for varying tastes, such as choral presentations by the National Christian Choir, the classic Sounds of Joy, the Gaither Homecoming and more Christian oldies. WRKJ- WMTP aired a greater percentage of locally originated Christian music than WSEW during its broadcast day throughout this year. Locally produced music hour featuring the 'music of your life' aired on WRKJ and WMTP each weekday morning. Due to the receipt of a financial grant last year, ADT intrusion and video security was able to be installed at the remote transmitter sites of WRKJ and WSEW as well as the main studio site. The grant also made provision for WRKJ to install a standby Nautel transmitter which because of its superior operating characteristics and reliability is now being used as the main transmitter for WRKJ. At the main studio an aging RAID storage computer, named "Audioserver" which holds and collects audio program files for distribution to other "play-out " computers has had an equivalent backup to its functionality installed. "Audioserver2" is scripted to automatically function as "Audioserver" when and if "Audioserver" fails in the future. This is a great relief to our concern for the inevitable failing of our faithful 12 year old, Gateway server. WMTP, Conway separated/ unique program delivery Studio Transmitter Microwave link feasibility equipment experiments are on-going to determine whether WMTP can someday in the near future operate its own separate programming from its New Durham studio to its transmitter site. This additional functionality will allow unique programming appropriate to Mount Washington Valley to be broadcast separate from the programming provided to WRKJ and WMEK. Word Radio exists firstly as the blessing of God and an answer of "Yes" to a vision now over 40 years in the making. The 24x7 daily operations are fulfilled by its two founding visionaries who by experience and talent remain dedicated to the task of bringing uniquely formatted Christian radio programming to the broadcast airwaves . In addition to dedication and talent, automation is greatly leveraged and made to sound as live and "well-done" as possible because the central root message to the public is the most important message that a human being needs to "get". Great caution and calculation is conducted in the operation of Word Radio stations to do as well as absolutely possible with the faithful delivery of the message and for financial efficiency because of those who put their faith and confidence in us to not waste their contributions.
