WBGL Yes Day Encourages Listeners to Say “Yes” to Jesus

WBGL (Champaign, IL) hosted its third annual Yes Day on March 10, dedicating the day to life-changing conversations about salvation and faith. Throughout the day, WBGL’s on-air team shared personal testimonies of when they said “yes” to Jesus, reflecting on how their faith has shaped their lives. The station also invited listeners to consider important spiritual questions, such as:

· Am I saved?

· Do I really trust Jesus with my whole life?

· How can I get rid of my doubts?

To support those seeking guidance, 20 pastors from 15 churches across central Illinois joined WBGL’s phone room, offering encouragement and prayer to every caller.

By the end of the day, over 50 people reached out to speak with a pastor. Among them:

· 3 listeners reaffirmed or rededicated their lives to Christ.

· 2 listeners were considering saying “yes” to Jesus but had questions.

· 21 people texted WBGL seeking more information about starting a relationship with Him.

Johnathon Eltrevoog, the pioneer of Yes Day and WBGL Morning Show DJ, shared:

“Yes Day was awesome and purposeful again. At WBGL, we get to lead people to Christ and nurture believers in their growth. One of the many calls we got was from Leslie, who came to Christ 15 years ago and has struggled with mental health and maybe spiritual warfare since. She said she felt a heaviness and needed assurance of her faith. Yes Day is for Leslie and the many others who need clear communication of the good news about Jesus for each and every one of us.”

WBGL remains committed to walking alongside listeners on their faith journey, providing encouragement and opportunities to deepen their relationship with Jesus.

WBGL is a part of the Northwestern Media network of University of Northwestern – St. Paul.
