CHRIS NORFOLK Premier encourages me more and more every day. It’s almost like I can’t live without it. I work for myself, on my own. My wife is not a Christian and I go to church now and again but not that much, because it’s difficult at home. So having the radio and a Christian input, with Christian values and is of great benefit to me. Every day through Premier Christian Radio, God speaks to me.

I’ve got a son, Jack, who is nine years old. He had four operations last year.

I often put Premier on when I’m preparing dinner. That was when Jack first starting listening to it. He’d sit on the kitchen top with me while I was cooking, because he was off sick for a year, and I’d have the radio on. And then I started noticing that my radio would disappear up into his bedroom and now we’ve permanently lost it to him!

PREMIER CELEBRATES ITS 20TH ANNIVERSARY AT ST PAUL’S CATHEDRAL2015 LONDON

CAROL NORTHERN IRELAND

I came across Premier about 10 years ago. I was going through a very bad time in my life. I was married but my husband was an alcoholic. I didn’t want to leave him, I wanted to try to help, so with some encouragement I tried again. Unfortunately, it did not work . The only reason I left was because he was getting violent.

I needed some kind of guidance. I said to God ‘send me something to listen to so that I don’t have all this rock music and stuff, but that I have something spiritual’. The next day I went out and bought a digital radio. I found Premier Christian Radio, and I’ve been listening to it ever since.

Premier for me helps me a great deal. I listen to the praise and worship and I also am a prayer warrior so I’m praying for everyone and I know people prayed for me when I needed it, and that’s why I give back to Premier.

I just hope people support Premier because it is a mighty tool for people to tap into in everyday life, just to help you from day to day. I am a firm believer that if you listen to the radio station, you should support that station, they have their bills to pay too and if you don’t support them it’s not going to be around.
