Way Media Inc

Life can be overwhelming, and most people have a hard time finding a source of encouragement and hope. At WayFM, we point people to Jesus with meaningful music and honest conversation so they can experience strength and joy during life's challenges. We are currently reaching more than 3 million people each month through broadcast radio, streaming channels, the WayFM app, YouTube and our websites, WayNation.com and WayFM.com. In all, WayFM has created and is producing 14 products and growing and is investing in digital media to stay culturally relevant. Additionally, we serve our audiences by sending free Bibles to anyone who requests one, and by praying with and providing spiritual care and follow up ministry for tens of thousands every year. At WayFM, our results are best demonstrated by our local involvement in the communities where we serve, and in our commitment to ministry, both on the radio and behind-the-scenes. Some of our specific programs include: 1. Mission: We point people to Jesus with meaningful music and honest conversation, every day on the radio and using digital and social media. Additionally, we host a prayer website to Get Prayer or Join us in Prayer, providing listeners a place to submit their prayer requests, anytime. Our staff and volunteers also pray for almost 50,000 requests this year. We make sure that each request is prayed for 10 or more times, ensuring that each person will receive 10 or more texts or emails that "someone at WayFM just prayed for you." Our listeners, digital users, volunteers, and staff prayed more than 500,000 prayers last year. 2. Providing Spiritual Care. We employ four Prayer and Outreach Pastors (one full-time, three part time) that serve behind-the-scenes with spiritual care to several thousand each year that have reached out to us. They encourage and care for hurting people and encourage them towards involvement in a local church.Free Bibles. WayFM offers a free Bible to all those who request one. Approximately 5000 Bibles are mailed each year. Recipients include listeners who are incarcerated, impoverished, or those who are new to or seeking faith. 3. Live Concerts and Events (including Virtual Events).
