That there are so many encouragements and so many positive testimonies is because of your prayerful and financial support and because God’s Holy Spirit has taken our efforts, blessed, multiplied and used them to speak into the lives of so many, despite all the challenges of the pandemic.

‘I heard a song I remembered from my youth’

Sarah Sedgwick rediscovered her Christian faith through Premier Christian Radio. Despite being gay and initially resistant to the idea of church, she felt a consistent pull towards it. This spiritual journey led both Sarah and her partner to commit to Christ. Sarah later founded Transformed Ministries in 2019, a charity assisting people with same-sex attraction in their relationship with God.

Church without walls

The COVID pandemic has impacted all our lives creating new problems and challenges. For key workers like Elizabeth it has been particularly tough.

“I’m a care worker and during the height of the pandemic it was tough watching people die. I would always come back and listen to Premier Christian Radio. I find peace and comfort there. It became a church to me when the lockdown meant we couldn’t go to our family church. We always worship every Sunday.”

Bringing hope direct into people’s homes

COVID has changed things. Even though the vaccines have allowed most people in the UK to return to some form of normality – it’s hard to see how things will ever be the same as before the pandemic.

Even though services have resumed in most churches, congregations and ministers are grappling with the challenges of what effective ministry looks like post-pandemic lockdown.

Everyday Premier touches lives bringing hope and inspiration

Premier Praise is a lifeline for me.

“The worship, prayers, Bible readings and commentaries are so helpful, particularly as I am coping with depression and anxiety at the moment, and living on my own. It is like another family member.”

When the outlook is bad…

“Having Premier Praise on helps me to focus on God’s grace when I’m feeling particularly bad. As Louis Giglio from Passion City Church in Atlanta said “when the outlook is bad, try the uplook.””

Jon, Peterborough

“Thank God for Premier Christian Radio, always blessed to listen in. I was also blessed and encouraged by the kindness of the staff at Premier Christian marketplace for helping me resolve an order issue. God bless you all and continue to strengthen your ministry in Jesus name”

Praise God

“Premier has impacted my life in so many different ways.
They talked about the tithing, Holy communion, Easter, The resurrection of Jesus Christ etc. The sermons, the Gospel music, there is always something going on which brings me more understanding about the Great God I serve. Praise God.I really thank God for Primer Radio. ”

Our prayer is that God is the centre of all that Premier is and does.

Without the inspiration of the Holy Spirit touching our radio programmes, print and online articles it is mere words. We are so grateful that we have an army of 445 prayer supporters who stand with us and pray to God asking him to take our efforts and transform them through the power of the Holy Spirit into life-changing impacts.
