Dear Ave Maria Radio Family,

       Joyously, we here at Ave Maria Radio welcomed the New Year, 2024, together with you, our Ave Maria Radio family. Our reasons for celebration are numerous, but I would like to focus on one particular cause of joy: TOGETHER, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL with our first-ever Year-End Fundraising Campaign.

       With the numerous growth opportunities that the Lord had opened before us, our financial needs saw similar growth. We prayerfully set out a goal of $333,000 that we needed to meet by the end of 2023. On the surface, this goal seems undoable. All we could do was trust that the Lord who was calling us to these new avenues would faithfully provide for us.

       Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, “A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” So we marched forth, trusting that the grace of God and the goodwill of all the members of the Ave Maria Radio family would meet this need that had arisen. And we were not disappointed. Together, we were successful. Earlier this week, I wrote that we were a little short but we were still processing some late donations. Today, I am overjoyed to share that we have SURPASSED our $333,000 goal! I consider this a huge success. I consider this a grace-filled victory in Christ. And I am personally grateful to all of you.

Yours in Christ,
