"Preparing for the Harvest" WPRZ's Fall Sharathon - October 2-4, 2013

Sep 18, 2013
TO MAKE A DONATION, PLEASE CLICK ON "DONATE NOW" ON THE HOME PAGE OR CALL 540-727-9779.
 
Please be in prayer with us for WPRZ’s upcoming Fall Sharathon.  This is a time set aside to ask God for what we need to operate WPRZ as he wants it to be.  We will be asking for more monthly support in the way of gifts from individuals and families, Church Missions Support, and Business Sponsorships.  We do this in order to cover the monthly expenses it takes to keep WPRZ on the air.  We are hoping for $6,000.00 a month in additional support.  Plus, we need to eliminate the remainder of the deficit which is $11,000.00. As monthly support increases, there will no longer be a deficit!
 
WPRZ also is in need of some equipment to help us do our jobs better.  We need to get our production room operational and to do that we need another Broadcast Computer which will cost $5,000.00.  We are also hoping for enough gifts to purchase some additional equipment so we can record calls from the phone and also record some local programs we want to get started. We are hoping for $10,000.00 for equipment and other miscellaneous needs at the station.
 
We are still in awe of God’s provision as we recently saw Him open the floodgates and pour out a blessing on WPRZ.  As listeners joined us in a special Call to Prayer for WPRZ, He moved in a powerful way on many hearts.  They listened and responded and in eight days, July 29th through August 5th, God’s people gave $29,000.00 towards eliminating a nagging $40,000.00 deficit.  We hope you were a part of that very special time!!!!
 
Please pray and ask God what He would have you do to help WPRZ continue Shining the Light of God’s Word into our local communities and around the world over wprz.org.  Then do whatever He puts on your heart to do!  We’ve enclosed a special pledge card you can send in to let us know what you plan to do.  Thank you so much for being a part of God’s work over WPRZ 88.1 FM!!!!

"A Day of Prayer & Fasting" as We Remember 9/11
Sep 09, 2013

WPRZ joins with others all across the land in calling for a special day of prayer for our great country!  Listen throughout the day for special prayers and music as we remember September 11 and pray together for the heart and soul of America.  2 Chronicles 7:14 says “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”  It’s clear that America is turning away from God and may be facing judgment!  But there is still hope!  2 Chronicles 7:14 tells us what God instructs us...His people...to do about it!  Let’s all set this day aside for personal reflection and prayer for our great country!  God is waiting to hear from His people!!!  And let’s keep on remembering to pray for America every day!!

Coming to Culpeper Movies 4 "The Lost Medallion" Opens April 19
Apr 04, 2013
 
WPRZ has partnered with Resurrection Pictures, a non-profit organization, to bring this movie to Culpeper!  The movie is a faith-based, family, action/adventure film that will thrill children and tweens, six through fourteen, their parents and grandparents.  In this movie, Alex Kendrick of “Courageous” and “Fireproof”, plays Daniel Anderson who visits a foster home to drop off some donations when he is quickly roped into telling the kids a story.  The story he tells transitions into a heart-racing adventure.  Alex Kendrick says it’s a wholesome movie that will take you back to a more innocent time but will keep you on the edge of your seat. The movie is endorsed by some great organizations including Youth for Christ and Awana.  And what is so great about this partnership between Resurrection Pictures and WPRZ is that WPRZ will receive a portion of the ticket sales!  The movie will open April 19th and is scheduled for one week.  However, if response is good, it will stay for another week! 
 
Please help us get the word out about this movie and its many benefits!  Churches can get a free curriculum series for Sunday school, mid-week studies or for families to talk about the positive themes of the movie.  It’s a chance for parents and grandparents to take their family to a movie that provides opportunities for conversations about God and the gospel on the way home or over dinner!  Please… let’s support this faith-based film!  There are way too many anti-Christian films out there.  As the body of Christ let’s do our best to fill up the theatre every day and night!  We have free posters, brochures, and bookmarks to place in your church or your business!  To get some, just call and we’ll mail them to you or you can come and pick them up.  Please help us get the word out!  This is a great opportunity and a win win win for everyone!!!   Find out more at www.thelostmedallion.com.

Our ultimate goal is $30,000.00 a month or $360,000.00 a year. During Sharathon, we simply must reach $20,000.00 a month or $240,000.00 for the year, through March 2014.

It's the WPRZ-FM February Bible Quiz! February 18-22, 2013
Feb 11, 2013

We have a couple really neat prizes this month to give away!  If you are the first to call with the correct answer to our Bible Question during the morning contests, you will win a book by local author and pastor Stephen Kellison Jr. titled, “Dream Believer”.  As a child, Steve was miraculously healed of a rare kidney disease.  He believes God is looking for believers through whom He could work, just as He had in the early church era, so that He would be what consumes the thoughts and conversations of those who profess to be believers.  Steve and his wife, Lisa, live in Madison and you can find out more about this book at Xlibris.com.  If you win in the afternoon during Country Light, you could win a copy of The Roy’s new bluegrass CD “New Day Dawning”.  You can only win once.  Be listening for your opportunity to win!
