The microphones have been turned off. The live broadcasts have ended. The final results of our Fuel the Impact: Share-a-thon have been announced.

But something remarkable has continued to happen behind the scenes.

Our Second Quarter Fuel the Impact: Share-a-thon raised an incredible $28,169.12, and we are deeply grateful for every person who gave, prayed, volunteered, encouraged us, or simply listened. Yet as I have reflected on those two days over the weeks that followed, I’ve come to realize that the greatest highlight wasn’t the total itself.

As I sat behind the microphone during our live broadcasts, donations began arriving in real time. With every notification, I was reminded that someone was listening—at work, at home, in the car, or wherever they happened to be. I have always known that thousands of people tune in to Inspire.FM each day, but in those moments the reality became deeply personal. Listeners weren’t simply hearing the broadcast; they were responding. Many of the gifts even reflected the specific financial goals we had shared, reminding me that people were following along, engaged in the journey, and believing in what God is doing through this ministry. I can’t adequately describe how humbling and deeply moving that was for me.

As we reviewed the results, another remarkable story emerged. Almost 50% of everyone who gave during the Fuel the Impact: Share-a-thon were first-time donors.

That means hundreds of people didn’t simply respond to a fundraising appeal—they chose to become part of the mission of Inspire.FM. They’re investing in the hope of Jesus Christ being shared across Atlantic Canada, and together they’re helping write the next chapter of this ministry’s story.

Another encouraging trend also emerged from the Fuel the Impact: Share-a-thon. We saw a growing number of listeners choose to become monthly partners. These faithful supporters provide the steady foundation that allows Inspire.FM to plan confidently for the future, invest in new ministry opportunities, and continue broadcasting hope every day of the year.

On behalf of our Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers, thank you. Whether you’ve been supporting Inspire.FM for years or made your very first gift during the Fuel the Impact: Share-a-thon, you are helping make it possible for people across Atlantic Canada to encounter the hope found in Jesus Christ.

Together, we are Broadcasting Hope, Sharing Faith—and by God’s grace, reaching more hearts than ever before.
