Listener Power Month 2019

This September, we’re asking you to LEVEL UP!

We’ve been working hard here at Pulse 101.7, and it’s paying off in some really cool ways:
– Listenership is growing. God is using the music and staff to spread hope to thousands of listeners in central Iowa and around the world through our app.
– More people than ever before are requesting our presence at events and in classrooms to share hope with our community.
– People are sharing story after story of how Pulse is impacting their lives and those around them!

As Pulse 101.7’s influence grows, so does our financial need. Will you join me in helping to power Pulse for the future? Consider the following:

Join our monthly giving family for the first time. We’ll welcome you with our exclusive Club t-shirt, and your ongoing support will help keep the mission fully funded!
LEVEL UP and increase your current monthly giving by $10 or more. We’ll thank you with two free tickets to see Apollo LTD at the Pulse studios on October 1st!
As always, a gift of any amount (monthly or one-time) is extremely helpful. Please pray and join us with your best gift and help ensure that Pulse is around for generations to come! Thank you for your partnership in the mission!

Our 25th Birthday Is Here!

Dear friend,

I remember the day we first began broadcasting Pulse. I was sixteen, a new driver with a clunker of a first car, and it was EARLY in the morning. My parents had just spent a year raising local support for this crazy idea to bring the first Christian
music formatted radio station to central Iowa. We gathered with friends and community leaders, prayed, and cheered together as we “flipped the switch” on what was then called “The Q.”

I remember discovering brand new artists who spoke truth through COOL music. Jars of Clay. Sixpence. PFR. Third Day. Switchfoot.

Many of the artists have changed over 25 years, but some things about Pulse remain the same. For example, our mission to reach a younger generation with a message of hope. It’s a pivotal time in life involving a lot of big events and choices. Graduation. First Love. First Car. First Home. In those years where, for many of us, a life course is set, Pulse has been there to encourage our faith and remind us of truth.

Here’s another thing that hasn’t changed – your support is still VITAL to the effort. What began as an effort to reach a young generation has become a ministry with quite a legacy. We’ve reached thousands of listeners over the years, and with your help, we’ll continue to do so.

As we celebrate our 25th birthday this spring, we realized that Pulse has never had a surprise party! We’ve decided to plan a year of fun surprises: a new studio for the first time in two decades, an updated CityStop outreach vehicle, and some fun events to celebrate with YOU in the summer and fall.

Won’t you surprise Pulse with a generous birthday gift this month? Your gift of $100, $500, $1000 or more will make such a difference as we reach out to our community. Simply give online at pulse1017.com, or use the enclosed envelope.

What a gift we’ve been given as God provides this resource for our community. THANK YOU for your help in keeping the mission going!

One dad takes the challenge

When you support Pulse 101.7, you’re reaching through the radio to offer encouragement and hope to thousands of listeners!

We recently heard from a dad who took the 30 day challenge about a year ago and has been listening ever since. A few months back, his son was in a serious sports accident and spent two weeks in the ICU. It was touch and go, and, of course, really scary.

As he spent his days being strong for his son, this dad told us that at night, when the hospital got quiet and the lights went down, he would put in his earbuds and stream Pulse 101.7 through the app. He said that listening to Pulse would help him decompress from the stress of that day and prepare his heart for the next.

His son is okay now and has recovered fully! He reached out to say thank you because of the profound impact of the station on his heart during that time.

God uses radio every day to reach people when they’re alone and at their most vulnerable.

Pulse 101.7 exists because of people like you! Please join us with your gift of support on Giving Tuesday, November 27th. It’s the Tuesday after Thanksgiving – your gift will help make outreach efforts possible in 2019. Thank you for making a difference through Pulse 101.7!
