Being a manager of a radio station is fun in many ways. It's a great way to help people and to be of service to a whole load of folks who enjoy the particular format of your radio station. Every day you get to experience something new and interesting, and, because I'm the kind of guy who likes to solve problems and put out fires, the endless supply of glitches and issues makes for a really challenging profession.
Asking people for money is not one of the fun things about Christian radio. I really don't like it. When I'm listening to other radio stations and they're having their pledge-a-thons, I change the channel. I don't like listening to people beg for money. So now, as a part of this job, I've got to do what I know annoys other people, so I try to do it in a way that is not begging. All I do is put the need out there, and, if God is working on someones heart to give, they'll give. If God is not working on their heart, I'm certainly not going to.
So, here's what I'd like for all my folks to do. Pray. Simply pray. If the Lord deals with you, that's between Him and you. Our job is to pray that the needs of WOAK will be met.
Here's a great idea. I'm going to give a WOAK t-shirt to the next 20 people that email me and tell me they are praying and that they are going to pray all week long. My personal email is rick@woak.com . Let me know that you're praying.
