WPRZ Spring Sharathon "Let Your Light Shine" April 10-12, 2013
WPRZ 88.1 FM has been on the air now for almost three years! It’s been an incredible journey that began 15 years ago!!! God has brought us so far and has placed us in the center of our hometown of Culpeper where we are broadcasting the Good News not only locally but around the world over wprz.org! To do that takes a lot of finances! We are asking God’s people to help financially more than ever so WPRZ’s expenses can be fully covered so we can move forward with what God has put on our hearts to do!! First and foremost, we need to get some critical expenses covered that are critical to enable us to broadcast at all! Then, we are hoping for funds to hire more staff and obtain some needed equipment! We are hoping and praying that God will provide all the funds needed to make this possible! We would request your prayers for this Sharathon! What happens during this Sharathon will be major event in our history! WPRZ needs more listeners and friends to give the best gifts they can give during this critical time! We’re turning our music room into a dedicated Prayer Room for this event so if you would like to come in and help keep the prayers going up, then please do so! We are asking..

It's the WPRZ-FM February Bible Quiz! February 18-22, 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...

Thank You for Helping Us End the Year Well!!
December was a record breaking month with $21,049.17 coming in from precious gifts and program support for WPRZ!! Thank you to everyone who gave a special gift to help! You really made a difference as you have enabled us to stay on the air proclaiming the truth of God’s Word with a variety of anointed music and programs. Lives are being changed and hearts are being encouraged as we all work together for the glory of God! We believe that this is just the beginning of many months over $20,000.00 this year so we can stay current as we continue to work towards our goal of eaching a monthly income of $30,000.00 so we can add greatly needed staff. We just know it will happen in God’s time and as people share from their hearts the gifts God would have them give! Thank you for...

What a great time we had at our “Open House”, “Ribbon Cutting Ceremony”, and “A Time to Share” November 8th and 9th!! Thank you to everyone who took the time to come and share over the airwaves what the station means to you. Many listeners both old and new came out for this special time. Our new neighbors on East Davis Street and other Culpeper locations went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They provided an abundance of fantastic food for breakfast both days and for lunch on Friday and many of them came for our Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony as we introduced the station to the community. We are looking...

WPRZ-FM is Now Broadcasting from East Davis Street in Culpeper!!
Finally, after a move that began June 24th, we went on-the-air September 3rd from our new “Studio B” which will eventually serve as our production room!!! Our main studio which is “Studio A” is now under construction and we hope to have it operational in a couple of weeks! So far, over 2000 feet of cables and various “lines” are running through the ceiling from location to location within our offices. Moving our on-air operations was a very complicated task because of all the different sources we use to bring you such a wonderful variety of programming like National up to the minute News, local weather and emergency weather alerts, Bible teaching programs from all over the country as well as local ones, four different genres of music, as well as various programming from the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. We have installed one of two state of the art studio boards that will enable us to easily perform various functions during the broadcast day that were difficult...

Update on WPRZ's Move to Culpeper!
Almost everything has been moved into our new offices! There is so much more room! We are especially blessed to have a large music and programming room now and a big conference/work room for gatherings, special projects and more! We hope to get internet sometime this week which we will be so grateful! We’ve been relying on our home internet connections in the meantime.
At this point everything has been moved from Baldwin Street except the main studio, the production room, and the satellite dish! Moving these things are major projects that involve so many technical issues! Please keep this final step in your prayers as it is now time to begin moving the actual broadcast...

Moving Our Offices and Studios to Culpeper... in Progress!!!
Be assured, our broadcast signal on 88.1 FM is not moving! Only our studios and offices are moving to a more central location within 88.1 FM’s coverage area! We have felt God’s prompting us about moving ever since 88.1 FM went on the air! And what a fantastic location God is moving us to!!! After a relatively short time of searching for a new location and a long wait for our property to sell, it is all settled now and we are moving right into the heart of Culpeper at 219 East Davis Street, on the second floor of the Taft Building, right above Foti’s Restaurant!
It is another “God” story of how He is leading and watching over this ministry. After looking at various other places, we were actually at the table getting ready to sign a lease for a space in a small shopping center when God simply closed the door! It became absolutely clear that the space was too small and the price was too high! We felt like we were back at “square one” again. Then our agent said we should look at other properties now and said that just that day he got another space to rent that we should go look at where Social Services had moved out just the day before! He didn’t even have a price yet but we went...
