Ellyn DaveyDonor Care
When I was young, I can remember hearing this well deserved phrase from my mother more than once, "Someday God may use that mouth for good, but right now you need to shut it!" The amazing thing is, my mom was right! After studying Speech in college, I graduated not knowing for sure where that degree would take me but God had already prepared the path to use my "mouth" for something good. He did it and I give Him the glory! I feel so blessed to have been a part of this radio ministry from almost the very beginning.
I also co-host the morning show with Brian Smith on our sister stations, Hope FM. We are on from 6-10 am if you want to give us a listen.
My life outside of the radio station is busy enough as a wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and worship leader with my local church. I enjoy laughing and having a good chat with just about anybody, biking with friends, and a good cup of coffee...everyday! -

I joined the HopeFM squad in 2023 and I love being a part of such a great team. I’ve had a lifelong passion for spreading hope in Christ and for more than a decade, I've worked to bring creative value to all kinds of ministry work, from churches, camps, and local non-profits. My wife and I have two amazing little daughters who keep us crazy busy but our best blessings.
When not at work, you can find me making memories with the fam, reading some A.W. Tozer, or staying up way too late watching true crime documentaries. Here's a quirky tidbit: I can’t give blood without taking an unplanned nap/passing out. I just love working with an amazing crew at HopeFM and daily getting the greatest message in the world out there!

Being a part of the HOPE FM Team has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. I love my job, my co-workers, serving people and watching how God is changing lives everyday through HOPE FM.
When I'm not at work, I'm usually off on a new adventure. I've been to all 50 states and a current count of 46 different countries. I have way too many pictures on my phone but I love capturing moments in time and the memories they hold. During the last year, I started "chasing" the Aurora and every time, even when it's just a glimpse, I'm reminded that God's glory is right in front of us in His creation.

I went to college to study communication and psychology in an effort to understand people better. As my faith has grown, my desire to communicate well and listen well has also grown. Naturally, working at this radio station has been just the right fit for those passions. I love getting to connect with listeners and share what God's doing in and through me, while also getting to use so many different avenues of communication daily.
In my free time, you can probably find me involved in any ministry I can be a part of. I love all kinds of outreach and am always up for sharing the Gospel with someone I meet on the sidewalk. I also spend a lot of time with my family and traveling to visit friends I've made all over the US.
I love working at a place where the things I'm passionate about also get to be part of my daily job.

Bonnie ShrewsberryAdministrative Assistant and Donor Care
I'm the newest team member at Hope Fm but have been a listener and supporter for many, many years! Our family loves this station!
I was born right here in Port Huron, and lived in the city until I was five. Some of my favorite memories include riding the bus downtown with my great grandma Rosie. During the years she lived with us, she was the first person I remember ever teaching me about Jesus. She would walk us to the little white church on the corner of our block. Working for Hope FM definitely feels like a full circle moment as those memories came back, being downtown, my great grandmother and the early seeds of my faith!
My husband and I got married literally days after graduating from high school and have been married for 21 years. We have five children but added one more when our oldest daughter got married last year!
While being a mom has been my primary job, I worked as an assistant manager and photographer at a local photo studio, did some college after my 3rd baby, I started a home bakery making specialty cakes for about 10 years and I served as the coordinator of our churches MOPS group. Currently, I serve in my church on the worship team, kids church and I am a Youth for Christ coach at Port Huron Northern High School.
Just as I was feeling like it might be time to re-enter the working world, I heard about a possible opportunity at Hope FM....God's timing is perfect! I love that I have the opportunity to serve the community in this really awesome ministry of Christian radio! Can’t wait to see what The Lord will do!
