Been in Fort McMurray now for 20, almost 25 years. So of course coming up here, I did get away from God, but in probably the last 3-4 years ended up going through some stuff. I lost my job and just think after going through that stuff and and getting back with God and getting back to church and just getting my family introduced to God again definitely changed my life and I have that radio station on pretty much 24/7 on in the house. My kids listen to it now. My teenagers and I've been listening to the radio station. Every song is just kind of gets me in that mood. When I go to work now I have it on, at work and people get in the truck and you know, they're kind of chuckle sometimes, but you know, it's just something that I think that resonates with my heart and my soul. With the times that we're in right now and the things that we're going through that I just believe this radio station is very important because we need Jesus right now, that's for sure. Everything that's happened in our lives in the last couple of years has been amazing and it's just been, it's great to see this radio station and the stuff that it's doing for people.

We lost my sister about 12 years ago now and there was a song that just came on the radio and it was just hit me. Praise the Lord, Oh my soul. And then the ending there where it says that, you know, “when my time has come, still my soul will be praising.” And my sister was a newly convert. And I know where she is because, you know, of her aversion to Christ and how she, you know, asked for forgiveness and--and God came into her heart, and it was very evident. And I know that, you know, she is with the Lord right now and someday I'll see her again. And that song was just so, so encouraging to my soul. So that was wonderful.

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.
