He Directs Our Steps Part 1.

There was a time when I was out of work and had to do a bit of community work with an agency in our area. At that time I was not really interested but decided to go any way. As I was walking toward the agency, I felt prompted to go in another direction and ended up passing my appointment place, to a building that I hardly knew existed and was unfamiliar with the businesses there.

The Holy Spirit continued to prompt me so I walked inside, got into a lift and walked down a corridor where there were small businesses on each side. I stopped in the front of a glass door, which was open and saw that it appeared to be our local community radio station. This concerned me greatly as I contemplated on what this mean't. I quietly said to the Lord, "surely Lord, you don't want me to work here,? I don't know anything about radio"

Just then a lady, thinking that I was needing attention, pressed the doorbell as she walked past. Well I was just about to run off when suddenly a gruff looking elderly gentleman came to the front door. He asked if he could help me. (I was weighing up whether I should just leave but then I came this far, so thought maybe I should ask him if he needs any help and then when he says no, I can go. Hoping that this whole thing was all in my head) I finally said to him"Can I help you?" he said no and with a sigh of relief I turned and started to leave.

After a few steps, he said "wait a minute, would you like to come in and have a look at our studio?" I said okay (as it gave me an opportunity to have a look at something that I had not experienced before) So I followed him into another room with a large desk which had a screen and lots of dials and slides very much like a mixer you would find in a Church but much bigger. There a were also head phones and mics everywhere.

He motioned me to a chair and I sat down and watched as he began to play another song and talk into a mic to an invisible audience. I watched for a while then decided to leave but not before he made me promise to come another day, which I did.

A couple of days later, I was back in the chair, watching him use the impliments on the desk, the slides, computer and mics. I asked him a few questions when he was off air as a matter of interest. We had got about an hour into his program when he suddenly got up and began to pack his gear up. I asked where he was going? He said, home. I asked who was going to run the radio? He said, me. Then he said, lock the door on your way out and he left.

Radio DJ - To Sunday Nites Part 2

Well I certainly learned quickly how to use all the equipment and ended up being live on air for 5 years. Firstly with a slot in the morning doing a secular program and then after much persuation and 2 years later, I managed to start my own christian radio program, on Sunday Nights. Having a Christian program on a secular station was unheard of....This is what I believe the Lord wanted me to do and the reason I was there in the first place.

This began a long, fun and interesting ministry for me as I played all my favorite christian music as well as having a time where folks could call in for requests. I had created a christian kids section, ole time music, instrumental, country, rock, contemporary and pure worship section. So that as many christian genre's were catered for. There was also a section that I set aside for a mighty man of God called Bill Subritzky whom by divine chance, I met at one of his evangelism/healing meetings. He sent me 50 of his CDs which were created specifically for radio. What a blessing and what a God moment that was....

There were various musicans who came in and played live. When musicians who were part of the foreign exchange program from our local college were available, I would invite them up as well, including some of our local christian artists.

One particular musician, I will always remember was my Scottish friend who played the warring Bagpipes. Oh my, It was so loud and so powerful, it nearly blew the windows out of the station.

Sometimes I would get visiting christian speakers up for a chat. Even members of my family have sung a few Items. Every now and then I would get a call from a Pastor or their wives or listeners themselves, to get me to pray for their needs, particularly healing. I was always happy to do that on-air if people wanted me to. Asking them (listeners) to stretch out their hands toward the radio and pray along with me. After these many years on Sunday Nights, I had to give it up due to other job commitments

I can truly say that this was an awesome and inspiring ministry and something I would never have got to experience, if it were not for the Holy Spirit prompting me in another direction. I am so very blessed to have had the opportunity to be able to serve my brothers and Sisters in Christ and also my community in this way.

Be Blessed!

"Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be." - Psalm 139:16
Your story reminds me of how the Lord took me from being someone who couldn't play guitar in front of people without shaking, someone who never sang, and even if I tried, couldn't sing and play at the same time, someone who hated writing anything; to being a worship leader who led a full band, for a congregation with an average attendance of 70 people, singing and playing songs that I wrote, all within a year. Best of all, the Lord manifested Himself powerfully!
I did this for a couple years. The change occurred the night that He anointed me.
Due to my health, it seems impossible for Him to use me again. I've just got to remember who He is. I've lost sight of this for awhile.
Thanks, Angelina, I needed to hear this. :)

Christian radio has helped me tremendously in my walk. More than church. God knows what will draw people to him. What a blessing that he included you in it!
