“The ministry of hope media group (formerly knowns as ksbj educational foundation) has been impacting lives for jesus christ since 1981. Our mission is to be the voice of hope connecting people more deeply to god, and we accomplish that mission through our on-air broadcasting, community outreach, and prayer initiatives. Because we are listener- supported, we are able to concentrate on creating programming that ministers to and encourages our listeners. Our programming is designed to fill the airwaves (both traditional and digital) with messages of the faith, hope, and love we have in jesus christ and to provide avenues for our listeners to connect to each other and to the community. During the fiscal year ended june 30, 2020, our programs utilized almost 2,000 volunteers giving over 8,000 hours of their time in various roles throughout the year. Ksbj & ngen broadcasting: while our broadcasting stations, ksbj & ngen, have different christian music formats, both share content and messaging of hope found in relationship with jesus christ. On-air, we broadcast to a combined average audience of almost 910,000 listeners on a weekly basis in houston and the surrounding gulf coast region. Web streaming (www.ksbj.org and www.ngenradio.com) and mobile apps provide a way for people to listen anywhere in the world on any device with internet access. Calls, emails, and social media posts come from all over the world with people sharing how much encouragement and hope the ministry has given them. Education/hope on demand: educational and content are an integral part of the hope media group ministry. We provide biblically based educational programming designed to educate, train, encourage, and develop listeners in areas of financial stewardship, spiritual growth and maturity, strengthening marriage and family relationships, health and wellness, issues impacting christian worldviews, etc. The bimonthly newsletter serves as an educational outreach to approximately 100,000 recipients. The educational content on the ksbj and ngen websites and numerous social media channels have well over 125,000,000 views/impressions annually. Hope on demand exists to connect people to god more deeply. The digital platform offers videos, podcast, and blogs through a collaboration of content creators and organizational partnerships with the single-minded focus of spreading the kind of hope that is true, permanent, and found in jesus. Since its launch on january 1, 2020, the spiritual growth content on hopeondemand.com, various podcast and social media platforms has over 1,000,000 views/impressions annually. Community outreach: we are committed to giving back to the community and building unity in the body of christ through community outreach efforts. As the voice of hope, we raise awareness, rally support, and connect people with local ministries and charitable organizations. Prayer ministry: at hope media group, we believe that god listens and we provide opportunities to listeners to both receive prayer and to pray for others. Over the past year, hope media group received over 50,000 prayer requests through our various prayer channels and rejoiced for approximately 30 people who dedicated their lives to jesus christ this year.”
