12 weeks of winners of the "Who's Your Favorite DJ Contest?"

WEEK 1:
Melissa Flores (Radio DJ at WAIJ in Grantsville, MD) 
Christina (Listener)
Why is he/she your Favorite DJ?: I have been so touched by how she lives her life the same in person as she does over the airwaves! Melissa is such a blessing, she prays for anyone anywhere no matter what her time schedule is. She has even went so far as to send direct e-mails to me to let me know she cares! I pray she wins this because she works so hard in her ministry to touch many lives with Gods word! Thank you.

WEEK 2:
Ike and Sheri Lafontaine (Radio DJs for the nationwide show "The Ike and Sheri Show")
Mark McNulty (Listener)
Why is he/she your Favorite DJ?: Ike and Sheri always start my morning off right. They bring a great balance between comedy and spiritual discussion. And of course, they play the best music on radio!
WEEK 3:
Roger Jackson (Radio DJ at Worship Radio 88.9 in Augusta, Maine)
Charlotte (Listener)
Why is he/she your Favorite DJ?: Roger Jackson (RJ) loves Jesus and he loves christian country music. When the station began, he was so excited, you could hear it in his voice. RJ genuinely gets you, the listener, excited about the things of the Lord, always referencing scripture and encouraging his listeners to stay focused and purposed in their walk with the Lord. He has fun and he enjoys sharing with his listeners. Though I have seen him at different concerts and station activities, I have never met him but just from listening to him on the radio, I am sure I will meet him some day in heaven. I am thankful for his commitment and positive influence he has to bringing the lost to salvation through the radio ministry. I think there are alot of folks that prefer country music and will listen to christian country and the words will speak to their hearts, who might not listen to the contemporary christian radio that we have available in our area. RJ was instrumental to bringing Christian Country radio to this area and it has made a difference.

Rosella Wallace (Listener)
Why is he/she your Favorite DJ?: He knows great gospel music, because he has been a part of it throughout his life.  He knows the community and what they enjoy, because he is a part of it.  And I love most that he is always willing to listen to new artists and give the community an opportunity to hear them and give them a chance.

Why is he/she your Favorite DJ?: I have known Bro. Mark since he was just a boy, before wives, before children, before careers got in the way of callings. Bro. Mark has a heart for the LORD and is a great blessing to our community. Always positive and "wonderfully blessed", as he reminds anyone who asks, Although he had to walk through a long dark valley after losing his job, he stayed positive and Bro. Mark has been placed where God is using him in a great and mighty way, everyday. More than a lifelong friend, able DJ, pastor, Bro. Mark is a great inspiration to me and many others through his radio ministry, I believe Bro. Mark was born to be the radio minister he is.

Patsy Ford Dickerson (Radio DJ at KTXJ, Jasper, TX)

She touches so many hearts each day, by her loving and caring spirit.  She is not ashamed to share with everyone the great love that she has for God and others. If anyone is in need of prayer, she stops everything in that moment and prays.  She is truly a reflection of God's Love.

So thanks Rhonda for the joyful sounds of music you play.
