89.5 KTSY Manager's Memo

Just a simple thank you to share today for all you do for KTSY and its ministry to the Treasure Valley and beyond.

Michelle, our office manager and morning show co-host gave me a report for receipts through the end of July compared to last year. As of the end of July, total receipts are down 2.3% compared to last year. Most of that income decrease is in our Impact Partner program, which has declined by more than 20% compared to last year.

And on the personal donations side, those are down only .75%, less than one percent compared to last year. God is good and so are His people.

The challenge, of course, is our expenses have continued to rise, just like at your house. We’ve done our best to keep those expenses low, including not filling Jerry’s position when he departed late last year. Makes for some interesting times around here, but hey, these are interesting times. We’ll hang in and trust God for what we need, just like at your house.

Thanks for standing with us as we do our very best to stand with you and your family.

The KTSY Family mailbag has been great the past couple of weeks, like this one.

I don’t know if you recall any of my story, but when I won the Weekend to Remember prize….my husband  and I were separated.  We did not attend the conference. Later, KTSY gave us tickets to the “Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage”, which we were able to attend.  It was an awesome event and I am grateful. Our problems all came to light, July 2008.  Now it is August 2009…and he has been living back at home since June.  It has been up and down, but I do know that this marriage is going to survive all the tribulations.  God has worked miracles in our lives.  As a couple, we have a lot of healing to do…. but I know it will come in time. I just wanted to take a moment and share our “success” with you.  I thank you for all the prayers that KTSY offered up to our Heavenly Father.  It is awesome to be a part of the KTSY Family.

Yes it is.
