Hope Media Group

Programs: The ministry of ksbj has been impacting lives for jesus christ since 1981. Our mission is to be the voice of hope connecting people to god, and we accomplish that mission through our on-air broadcasting, mentoring program, 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, 2017, our programs utilized over 3,600 volunteers giving over 13,750 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 over 890,000 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. Ksbj education/mentoring: educational and mentoring programs are an integral part of the ksbj 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 over 108,000 recipients. The educational content on the ksbj and ngen websites and numerous social media channels have well over 50,000,000 views/impressions annually. The ksbj mentoring program exists to help domestic and international christian radio stations reach their communities for christ. Our team works alongside mentee organization staff to discover creative ways to more fully engage listeners. By helping our mentees improve their on-air sound, connect with communities, create great concert events, and transform their cities through prayer and community outreach, ksbj mentoring is helping connect more people to god through radio stations across the country and around the world. Our mentoring program assists several domestic and international radio ministries by sharing knowledge gained through more than 30 years of broadcasting experience.
