For many years, my brother, he was ill and undiagnosed. He'd be fine. Then not fine. In times of stress, he hears voices or thoughts. They're usually really awful. In recent years, he discovered that if he only listens to UCB Christian radio and not other types of music that he used to when he was younger, that when he wakes up, he doesn't hear the voices he hears the lyrics from the songs on UCB Radio. And hears all the time words about God and praise and mercy. And UCB seems to just wipe out what the other voices are trying to say.

So much going on in the world today, you know, God is the only hope we have. And hopefully keeping this station on will provide that hope for parents that need it, and single parents, kids, everybody.

You know when you're alone, you're driving alone and you're far from home -- It's inspiring because of the music and the words. I know there's other sisters and brothers. We're tripping along and I don't feel alone. My spirit is fed. And I I feel such joy and peace and comfort. And the word through the music, it's life and it breathes in into my spirit: encouragement. That's why I want to give to UCB.
