LIFE CHANGING STORIES
Has The Promise FM impacted your life?
Keep On Praying
A number of years ago, at work and late at night, at a point of frustration I cried out to the Lord. He diverted my attention by making a small suggestion that completely changed my attitude. Have you ever noticed that when we complain to God, he rarely answers the ‘why’ question? He did this with Job, never explaining the whole picture, just redirecting his thoughts to the greatness of God and all he’s created. That night he asked me, “what if you prayed over the neighborhood adjacent to your office?” That small thought filled me with motivation and purpose. Ever since, it’s been my practice to take the long way home to pray over the area.
Last night, following my usual routine a bit of doubt start crept in. Do my prayers really make any kind of difference here? Isn’t that like the enemy’s nature, planting seeds of doubt. He did it in the garden with Eve and look at the type of fruit that bore. He’s done it through the ages, opening doors of doubt that only bares rotten results. Pushing those thoughts aside, I continued on with intercession. After leaving the area, I turned up the radio only to hear Matthew West singing “Don’t stop praying”, playing on a radio station dubbed “The Promise”.
God, how good and faithful you are! Truly our comforter and the lifter of our head, the teacher of all things. Keep obeying God and don’t doubt. That mustard seed will grow and blossom. In due time we’ll reap if we do not lose heart.

The power of prayer!(and the Promise FM!)
Yesterday morning as I was driving to go to my women's Bible Study Group I had the Promise FM on, as I always do. Fred was talking about the power of prayer and no matter how defeated we may feel in our lives, we should NEVER stop praying because there is always hope. Then he reminded listeners(me!) that the prayer line was open and warriors were at work for anyone who wanted to call. I was hesitant because I was driving, but I have your phone number in my contact list and the Lord was really prompting me to call. I was also hesitant because I did not want to be late for my Bible Study. I brought your number up and once again the Lord said "push the call button!" I was finally obedient. I called and talked with a wonderful prayer warrior named Debbie. My marriage of 10 years has been failing for quite some time now but she gave me exactly what I needed to hear, hope. She quoted some of my favorite scriptures that I often pray and I knew it all came from God and I thank Him for the trials as it continues to strengthen my faith. Thank you, Promise FM for always being there for me when I need it most!!!!

The Power of prayer
About 2 years ago I was in a coma and the doctors weren’t sure if I was going to make it or not and while I was in a coma, my husband called into promise FM and asked for prayers and we had people all over praying for me and by a miracle from the lord I woke up a few days later back to full health.

How you helped.
About a year ago I was given a battery operated radio, in case the power went out. When I checked it out your station was on. I loved the songs you played so I left it on your station. Since then I have joined a church. I listen to you every day all day.
Thank you

God is good!
My name is Andrew. I am from Northern Michigan and have lived here all my life. I was picked on most my life and wasn't sure what to do about it. I fell into a life of sin. I almost lost everything. My house, my future spouse, my son.
As I have come to seek God, I have a better job where I am appreciated and valued. I also am going to get married in September to the same woman I almost lost. I have been led to healthy relationships and am attending a wonderful church weekly.
The Promise FM has really helped me share the Holy Spirit with my community and has helped me through some difficult times.
Praise God and don't stop seeking him!!!

I started listening to this about a year ago. It never really sank in until a month ago. I've been in and out of the hospital, The doctors finally diagnosed me with BPD. Borderline personality disorder. My husband was getting ready to serve me Divorce papers. I made our lives a living hell, literally. I didn't even realize what I was doing.
My whole life I never truly believed. My dad Sunday school and bible's camp, but he never went to church. I thought heaven was a fairytale. I've been going to church and sitting listening. And wondering why God never saved me. I cried a lot. We had a guest speaker who shared a story about people being saved and he made it sound so easy. And I asked myself what I was doing wrong. I wanted to be saved, too, but I didn't know how it was possible.
God was sending me in the right direction, but I couldn't see it. I had to get to my lowest point in my life. My husband and I were talking about divorce, and I thought to myself, what's the point in going on with my life if I didn't have him? I pushed myself into a " Psychotic break." My brain actually broke, is what the doctors told me. I did nothing but cry and pray for 3 days until God finally showed me the way. I had to fully know pain and sorrow before I could know pure joy and happiness.
He saved me and he saved my marriage. I will forever be grateful. God is so good and everyone needs to know this. You have to ask for forgiveness and truly mean what you say. He is there waiting for you to believe. He can save anyone who wants to be saved. It truly is amazing grace!

The Holy Spirit to transform me into a much better Mom! Which helped me develop into a better everything!
I remember/recall standing at the kitchen sink washing dishes with tears streaming down my face. As I listened to Northern Christian Radio speak about the things of GOD. Some say crying pulls poison out through the tears which is healthy for the body and emotions.
Up to date I have Ephesians 6: armor of God with a healthy heart plus being saved by Grace and a strong scripture-developing personality along with my other areas of interest. Son is now a Born again Christian. Love of GOD's Risen CHRIST Matthew 28:5-6

Standing in the storm
Last year I began driving a school bus and was dealing with a load of difficult children. I began playing the promise on the bus. One of the first songs that God used from the play list was" I will build a boat". This gave me the determination to stick with the job. God had given me many small glimpses that he was at work when I would hear a child sing one of the songs that was playing or asking me to turn the music up.
This year the children are settled down and relationships are being built. Thank you for continuing this ministry.

God Used the Promise FM Devotional in Ireland!
When my husband ended up in the hospital with blood clots on our Ireland trip, I was invited by his roommate’s Irish wife to spend 3 nights with her at her home! In our conversation she said she knew about many Bible stories but thought they were more like tales. She was very concerned for her husband and for mine too, and said a friend gave her a relic, a piece of holy cloth that if I put it in my husband’s hand it might help him. That gave me the chance to share Jesus with her who we can know and is the One able to heal. Then I talked with her about the Passover story and how when we put our faith in Jesus as Savior, it’s His shed blood over us that saves us from death and we can come to God in the powerful name of Jesus for our loved ones.
Thinking then that I could read a devotion from the Promise FM Devotional the next morning that I brought with me on the trip, taking a look at it, I could not believe my eyes! The date was Sunday, June 18 which read:
“Take…blood and smear it on the sides and top of the doorframes of the houses” Ex 12:7 with the title, How to Protect Your Family. It was perfect to explain even more of what I shared with her the night before!
When she agreed for me to read it to her she said, “God sure works in mysterious ways!” Yes! He surely does! Pray please for Mary Murphy in Ireland, that she will know Jesus personally and for her husband Pat. Thank you!

He made home

God sees me!
I recently shared a prayer request with this radio station. I was running out of strength to fight the devil. Satan had bound my husband. I couldn't seem to do anything that was helping him. I love my husband so much and could not watch this happening to him. I prayed, but nothing seemed to happen. I asked a few close friends to pray, still no change. I could not believe God wanted my husband to be destroyed by this. I heard one of the announcers talk about your prayer wall. I decided did I have to lose (except maybe a demon off my husband!)
It was a couple of days later, on my drive home from getting groceries (not my normal time to be in the car), I heard Dennis speak to me! At that moment I thought, God only you would know I would be in my car listening to the radio at this moment! And God, You see me!. You know how much my heart was aching for my husband. A renewed spark of hope came over me.
That weekend my husband was able to talk about his struggle with something dark. He wasn't better but at least he was recognizing that he was in trouble. I just told him I didn't know how to help him other than to keep praying for him. He seemed relieved at that.
A couple more days passed, I was on my daily commute to work, listening to the morning show when suddenly, there was Dennis (not in his normal spot) talking to me again and describing my situation and praying for us. Again I thought God, Dennis probably has no idea that I am listening right now. A song came on " In Jesus Name" by Katy Nicole. I had heard this song introduced by Fred several weeks ago and feel like it has healing qualities within it. I had been playing it throughout our house. And now here it was right after Dennis prayed for us! I am so filled with hope for our struggle. God sees us and he knows everything that is going on! He promised to never leave us nor forsake us! I am holding on to that truth.
Although my husband is not fully healed yet, I believe that there is a bigger plan for our grown children when he is!!
I just want to let you know so many times the Promise FM has encouraged me for whatever I am going through. May God continue to bless your team! Don't forget God sees you, too!

Trust in the Lord!
I was listening to the radio (not the Promise) as I headed north. At some point the station I was listening to was staticky and I could no longer listen to it. As I searched for a different radio station there wasn't anything that was music to my ears. I finally landed on the Promise FM. I was pleasantly surprised to listen to a radio station similar to one in the GR area. As I was listening to the music that day was "Days of Promise"- fall gift drive. As I'm driving I hear the radio host talk about needing different gift amounts to complete that hour’s goals. I hear they are needing a gift of $100 monthly or a full payment for $1200. I keep listening to the music and as they continue to ask for a gift of $1200 I feel this overwhelming feeling like I should donate $1200. The Holy Spirit is working inside me to listen to the Lord. I'm crying trying to focus on the road and enjoying the music. In my head I'm having a conversation “God, you know my circumstance my husband is unemployed and has been since February. I'm the only one employed and my income is good however, my husband is the primary income earner. You know if I donate this money it's a strain on our family.” But I listened to that tug in my heart and I gave a gift of $1200. I make the call, I'm speaking to a young lady it's her first time completing donations she asks me how much do you want to donate? It took me a few seconds to respond but I got it out $1200. I think she was surprised which made two of us. There's more to this story however, I want to keep the focus on God's promises and provisions for us.
God is faithful and knows our needs. He also wants us to be generous with our resources trusting God will provide for us. I donated on 10/5 and my husband was offered a job 11/4. Praise God!

Living for Christ
I lost my husband in February after a seven-year battle with cancer. I could be sitting at home depressed at my loss and feeling sorry for myself but I turn to your station and get uplifted with your music every day and just can’t help but focus on living for God and what he wants for me. It has helped me move forward with my life and I have found such peace in doing so because I know where my husband is now, he's out of pain and I can see him again someday. Thanks for your life-giving radio.

God is good - all the time!
I was riding around the other day, worrying about all of my kids and grandkids and how the future will affect them. I was totally depressed when I thought of all the trouble that is "out there" and I was crying and praying for God to fix things. After feeling totally helpless, I decided to turn on the radio. It's programmed to your station and the song that was playing was "Yes, He Can" by CAIN. I immediately started chuckling at myself for doubting God's plan. The rest of my day was much better.
NO one should ever doubt God and what He can do! I learned my lesson.

The Power of God
Back in May of 2012 and 7 months after I started directing the nursery, our house burnt down. As I watched the fiery inferno gobble up all our possessions I cried out to Jesus for help. You see, we had done our taxes late that year and all our ss cards, birth certificates and our marriage license were in a zip lock bag in a cardboard box in the living room. I cried out to Jesus that while we can replace those items it is usually pretty difficult and that I would rather have those items.
Later we were allowed to enter and everything was burnt, floor to ceiling. The cardboard box sat on top of nursery lessons, both of which were nothing more than ashes. Digging around ashes there was a plastic bag, corner slightly burnt and inside were the documents I asked Jesus to save for us. That PLASTIC baggie should have melted, those documents were paper and should have been burnt up like the cardboard box it was in that night.
That my peeps is the power that our God has and how much He loves us if we just cry out to Him. The one of this earth wanted to stop us from teaching about Jesus by burning our house down, but Jesus turned it into His glory.

Jesus saved my life
These past five years have been a roller coaster. In those years, I have been diagnosed with 4 different rare chronic illnesses resulting in about 8 surgeries. During one of my surgeries, the surgeon was moving one of my veins to try and reroute my blood flow (my renal vein was being crushed by my aorta and superior mesenteric artery). When she was closing, she didn't realize that she had left the vein that she moved open, as well as nicking an artery. My body clotted most of the issue, and I was able to go home after about 5 days in the hospital in Detroit.
I was home a day and ended up back in the ER with extreme pain. When they did a CT scan, they reported what they thought was a massive abscess, and my veins were clotting shut, including the stent that I had in my iliac vein due to collapsing. I was sent by ambulance back to Detroit where I was there for 3 days, and they figured it was a large hematoma, and eventually, my body would reabsorb it but as far as the clotting, the vein she moved clotted shut, and she went in via venogram to try to remove the clot but was unsuccessful so she was treating it like a deep vein thrombosis. I was given blood thinners and sent home. I made it home for 6 hours (I am in the UP, so Detroit is about 5 1/2 hours away) and woke up to a massive baseball size mass in front where my incision was and the pain so bad that my husband had to carry me to the car. He took me to the hospital in Sault Ste Marie where they had to give me blood and call for a flight back because I was losing blood. I don't remember much with the flight as I almost lost my life a couple of times. I remember waking up in Detroit ER by myself, and not many of the staff stopped to check on me (one doctor stopped and allowed me to call my husband on his phone for a short period of time). I was left in the hallway next to the desk where the radio was going off with other incoming patients and moaning and screaming coming from behind many curtains near me. I remember looking at the clock, and I prayed. The only thing I could say was, "Lord, I'm scared." He put me to sleep and when I woke, I was in the ICU 12 hours later.
In surgery that morning they drained 1 liter of blood that was pooled in my back as a result of the hematoma. I also had a drain for 3 days that was pretty active. The surgeon tied off the vein and it ended up dying (a later surgery for my kidney transplant my surgeon removed it completely). Overall, I ended up having to have 8 bags of blood. I thank everyone who gives blood. You guys are heroes.
I believed in God and Jesus but wasn't really an active member of the church. Yeah, we went a few times but my kids were rambunctious and to be honest it embarrassed me and my husband and we just stayed home.
After this mess I have been in I have trusted God and joined a beautiful church who loves my children and the music is just amazing. I always listened to Christian music on Pandora, and our new church were the ones to lead me to The Promise FM. I always have you guys on. I feel like you are with me when I'm alone during the day while my husband and kids are in school. Thank you for being part of my family too!

My son and God’s calling
I was far astray from the Lord. My husband had died from Drinking and Driving leaving me pregnant with our only child. My son was 4 and asked to go to Church. Being raised Catholic I started there but my son was not moved there. So I let him pick some Churches to try. We found a Church quickly; Mountainview Baptist Church . Ever since turning there my son and I have grown to know the Lord and positivity has been drawn into our lives.
I was struggling with a few things a couple months ago; my son turned on the promise fm... we haven’t changed the station. Thank you for bringing us the word of God when we need to hear Him the most. God Bless you. We are so grateful to God for all He has done for us!

God is Great!
10 years ago I weighed 298 lbs and my health was bad. I tried everything the world said to try diet pills, diet plans, crazy concoctions, etc. then one day God spiritually slapped me upside the head and I started to pray for strength to lose weight and get healthy. First I started eating healthy, NO FAST FOOD ever again. I started riding a bike. As soon as I got down to 275 lbs I rode my bike from Alpena to Mackinaw City, 100 miles. I did it but I thought I was going to die. I said I would never get on a bike again. One week later I bought a rode bike and I've never stopped riding. I lost a total of 115 lbs and I average 8000 miles per year, I've done over 100 mountain bike, road bike and gravel road bike races and tandem road bike races with my bride. I know now that I would have never done it if I didn't look to Jesus for strength. I pray that I always turn to prayer in any decision in my life. God is great!

My Story
When I was little I was put in foster-care. I went through six foster homes. I always thought about the christian music I listened to as a 4-5 years old. That's when I found the Promise FM. When I found my forever family I got my own radio. I never change it to any other station. I am constantly listening to music. If I get in a fight with one of my siblings, I go to my room and listen to you guys. At one point after adoption I felt like something was missing, since I lost my two siblings to another family. I fell to this state of almost depression. I'd start crying for my siblings, I'd go listen to the promise FM. Your music always made me happy.

What an amazing God we have!
On Monday, which would have been my late husband's birthday, I stopped by the cemetery for a few minutes. As I entered the cemetery the song Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) came on the radio. That was the song the soloist sang at his funeral and was one of his favorites. Amazing how the God of the universe knew just what song I needed at that moment!

Start Your Day Out Right!
We rejoice in the Lord for Promise FM! Nick starts every morning with flipping on the radio, which by the way, Kelly Blackwell so graciously gave us when our radio quit working. What a great way to start our day with praise and worship with Fred and his Bible verses and funny stories! We keep it going all day!! People who come to our home are amazed at the ivy that surrounds our living room 3 times so far! Our explanation is that they love and grow because of our love for Christian contemporary music!! You can't wallow in pity when you have constant praise and worship on! Phillipians4:8
" Finally, brothers, whatever is true,whatever is noble,whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy --think about such things."

God is bigger
My name is Dan and I am a firefighter and a fifth year senior getting my fire science degree with a law enforcement minor. Seeing the injustice that is going on with riots, looting, and the injustice from bad police officers and also the injustice towards ones trying to do their job is heart breaking to me as a mixed race man. I have found myself listening to radio traffic of officers getting shot, over the actions of other officers. I pray that God would watch over the good police officers all around the world and lead the officers to Him. I pray that as I look for full time firefighting jobs and get into the public service field that I would be used by God to be a small step in change of both public service and the people on the streets. I pray for all my brothers and sisters to stay safe and to not forget that GOD IS BIGGER THAN THIS. TURN TO HIM FOR THE SOLUTION.
God changed my life
When I was five I was put into foster care. I went through eight homes before finding my forever home.
At my sixth home I was seporated from my siblings Faith and Christopher. Then I found my forever home, The Whaley's. I've now been adopted for three years. I have two brothers and six sisters and a little nephew named, Blake. God did all that just to prove to me that joy can be found in the darkest of times.
My favorite saying I like to refer to is:
Light can be found in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light.

Giving-
So this morning I was praying to God to let his will be done in my life and less of my own. This is in alignment with my Bible studies and my current spiritual growth. Giving money has been a tough place for me. It started this year when I was a first time giver to the Promise and its ministry. This has started to soften my heart to be a joyous giver. So when I heard the Promise FM was hosting Cross International and sponsoring a child’s life in Africa I had the idea to sponsor 2. I wanted to honor God so I asked him through pray what his will was. Within a second the number 10 came back many times. I was a bit shocked because I knew this number was bigger than what I wanted. So I stepped out of my boat and I was a faithful generous giver and found absolute joy in this. All praise, worship and glory to the Kingdom of heaven. Wishing much Love and encouragement to all!
Blessings,

Our God is BIGGER than Covid-
My daughter was told arriving at work that a co-worker was exposed to someone, who was exposed to someone who had covid. She had her freak out moment and is a little calmer now. Today, as I prayed for my daughter, the Holy Spirit played a song playing on Promise FM, that I knew I had to share with her. The Holy Spirit uses songs in our lives; we all know that, because they come at the exact moment we need to hear the message in the song. The song was “No Longer a Slave to Fear.” I told my daughter to own that song; claim that song!!! We have a God WAY BIGGER then Covid! I thank God for Promise FM and God, himself for his faithfulness, trustworthiness, and love for us. God Bless Promise FM RADIO.
Love and hugs, Jo
The impact on my life-
To Fred and the entire Promise FM family:
You all are so special to me in all that you are doing. The last week that I was on the road I was able to listen to a great word and testimonies to Fred and Tom from Kansas. I loved hearing about what God is doing in people's lives, in the Promise FM ministry and how the ministry is growing before our eyes! It's beautiful to see God working through all of you through his word and truth. I will never forget that week and how it filled me with joy, peace and hope. People need to hear how special they are because of the love of Jesus. I am so thankful that God puts people around me like you.
When I had my surgery I found out after how you had lifted me up in prayer over the radio, that is so important to me and I am so grateful! As I lay here and heal - through God - this time, all the other times and every time to come - I know that God is my healer.
Thank you all for your prayers and your faithfulness to God, to all the voices we hear over the radio and all those who work behind the scenes - God bless you and your families. A special thank you to Fred, so many times you have spoken just the right word at just the right time, or played the perfect song at the perfect time - God bless you my friend!
Love,

“I think it’s part of the Lord working through me to get him to see where he needs to be. The Lord has, through my challenges with my health, made an impact on him … how the Lord carried me through that.”
“There was a time when he told me he didn’t want me to go to church anymore and I told him ‘I can’t do that, that’s part of my life.’ It was really hard..but I know in my heart and I could see the Lord working in his heart to do some changes. Last summer we were gone pretty much all summer camping, just the two of us, and I think that was a turning point. Just having that one on one with each other, doing things we both like to do, and showing my love to him through Christ.
“When I do my devotions there’s certain scriptures the Lord will lay on my heart that I need to share with him. Sometimes he’ll have a comment and sometimes he doesn’t say anything but I know the Lord’s working in him. And he, in the last maybe 3 months, has been a turning point with him.”
A Friend-
“Every time I use a vehicle, whether it is a rental vehicle or somebody else’s vehicle, I always punch in the radio station to The Promise FM just because you never know who is going to listen to it after you get out of it.”
“Some time ago I borrowed a buddy’s truck because I was moving some furniture and punched in The Promise FM.”
“Unbeknownst to me he had gotten a girlfriend pregnant. He was a Christian, but he was already divorced and he was looking to talk his girlfriend into an abortion. He was actively trying to talk her into an abortion.”
“He had jumped in the truck and couldn’t figure out why The Promise FM was on his radio. Sure enough the Holy Spirit was there and whoever was speaking was speaking about abortion and that it was wrong. It just totally convicted him.”
“Because of The Promise FM there is a boy walking around today simply because I was obedient to put in the station .. and the Holy Spirit was obedient to follow through.”
~A Friend
A Local Veteran-
“I just moved here this summer .. and we were flipping through the radio stations looking for a good Christian station to listen to in the car with the kids. It’s a clean radio station .. I don’t have to worry about something being said that’s going to raise questions in my kids that I don’t want to have to answer yet. And the message being uplifting, you don’t have to worry about talk about families breaking up or things like that.“
~A Local Veteran
Tom-
“Business was booming. I had a wonderful family, I had a lovely young wife, and I had accomplished more than I ever thought I would. I had moved north seeking a better life for my wife and family, and from the world’s point of view I had it all…
But I was empty inside, hopeless! The more I had, the more I bought, the more I saw, the more I did, the less fulfilled I became. In the fall of 1989 I sat in my new boat on a local lake so desperate that I had actually planned to step off the edge of the boat. I had lots of life insurance… I’d be out and away from all of the pain of all the lies and deception I’d been living… not only with myself but with others… My wife would be compensated, my family would be raised, and we’d all win.
That morning I heard a former rock and roll singer singing the song “Isn’t It Amazing What A Prayer Can Do” and because I was an old rock-and-roller I knew that sound, I just couldn’t understand why he was singing about God. The words to that song were really quite simple – Isn’t it amazing what a prayer can do, when it all seems hopeless it’ll pull you through.
I decided that morning I’d go find out what this guy was talking about. That was the beginning; I didn’t know God, but it was a very slow turn toward following God.”
“I’ve been a music listener for all my life .. and very influenced and affected by it .. and so I went looking for it. I went looking for more Christian music. The Promise FM was a source and I just think that’s a tremendous advantage.”
“When you look at what the radio station needs to survive…I became more & more convicted. I’ve read more & more scripture about such things as tithing and blessing…You know God requires, he’s very clear, he says it’s got to be our first offerings, not our leftovers. And when we give, the blessing comes to us.“
~Tom
Lindsey-
“You have no idea probably how much God has used you over the past…what?… ten years through our family. I mean besides praying for our kids and praying for our marriage and all of that jazz…I was at rock bottom. Just… I just didn’t want to keep living. Not that I was going to do anything. I was just…I was done. And I just keep listening to your show in the morning and I’m like one foot in front of the other and God clicked a whole bunch of stuff last night and I’m like, I’m done, I’m done wallowing in this, I am done being tortured by something I already survived. I’m done.”
“It’s so much bigger than just great music, and you need to know that.”
~Lindsey
Heather-
“I was just having some issues at work and it kept me up at night. I was dealing with it all night and then in the morning I was still dealing with it. I remember it as clear as day, I was listening to you. I listen to you every morning. You had talked about getting up and you were whining to God about the snow and then you decided to turn your whine into praise and just give God the glory and then you read a verse from 1 Corinthians and I don’t remember the verse, I wish I did, but you read a verse about how God loves not just us but those that persecute you and give you bad days and your just talking about giving God praise in all aspects of your day. At that point I just said a prayer “God I am just giving this all to you.” At the end of the day I had to message you guys and just let you know I had such a great day and just to let you know how thankful I am for taking that moment to say those words and read that scripture that I needed to hear at that moment because it just made me feel that God’s right there and He’s listening.”

Kendra-
“I just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to Pat and the Promise FM team that was at UCMF this past weekend. My daughter Abby was celebrating her 16th birthday and you blessed her with a meet & greet pass to meet Matthew West. I never could have predicted it at the time, but that one little wrist band kicked- off an amazing turn of events which ultimately led to “the best birthday ever”. As I’m sure the Promise FM team noticed, my daughter is not quite like other teens. She lives with a number of chronic health issues that can limit her ability to maintain an activity level consistent with that of other teens. Over the years she has found so much comfort and strength in listening to and performing worship music and has really developed a love for the contemporary Christian music concert scene. This weekend, you gave her so much more than an opportunity to meet and have her picture taken with a performer….you gave her the opportunity to feel like a “normal” teen and for that, our family will be forever grateful… We will be Promise FM fans for life. Thanks again.”
