Sharathon: WFST’s Annual Sharathon was held November 3—7th. There were lots of visitors, snacks and giveaways from our ministry partners. Our 2026 annual budget totals $140,940.00 and our monthly budget totals $11,745.00. That is the estimated cost to broadcast every month. If you didn’t call in during the share-a-thon, there is always time to give us a call. (207) 492 - 6000 is the number. You may also support us on-line at www.familyradiowfst.com and click on the “donate” button. You will then be taken to PayPal to make your secure donation. Please ask God if He would have you support this radio ministry with prayer and with your monetary gifts.
Thank you so much to everyone who called in or who came in and made a faith promise, whether monetary or prayer, to WFST for 2026.
Thank you to Kristi Herron for answering our phones during our sharathon. Thanks to our on air DJs and guests and everyone who stopped by to chat and pick up a book or calendar.
QUOTES FOR THE MONTH
“Each of us is God’s special work of art. Through us, He teaches and inspires, delights and encourages, informs and uplifts all those who view our lives.” Joni Eareckson Tada.
“God will use the difficult seasons in our lives to bring about a desire to seek Him and to have faith in His deliverance.” Carter Conlon.
Family Radio WFST is a lifeline, keeping you connected when you’re alone or lonely, in pain, tired, worn out, struggling with life, depressed, anxious, afraid. This is how one faithful listener of WFST explained how WFST is a lifeline, keeping you connected with God and His Word. Can you imagine what life would be like without Christian radio? Where we can turn our dial or tap our phones and hear the truth of God’s Word….when all the other negative voices want to drown out the truth….we only have to “tune in” to remind ourselves that God is still there; He’s still on the throne. He knows our beginnings and our endings and all our days in between. When things seem overwhelming and the world is seemingly upside down—where wrong is right and right is wrong or so it seems……But we know the end, where we’re going, who we’ll be with…one day… all will be made right and new. But until then, we’ll carry on down here, doing our work the Lord would have us do until He comes to take us home. If you need some encouragement or a listening ear, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us by phone: 207-492-6000 or email: wfstradio@gmail.com. Or you can write to us at: WFST, PO BOX 600, Caribou, ME 04736 or send a Facebook message. You can also stop by and see us at 670 Sweden Street here in Caribou. God bless you all! He loves you as we do! We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy, blessed New Year 2026!
