My husband and I have been working with Youth at our church for over 40 years. In the mid 1980's I felt convicted about listening to my beloved Rock n Roll because of the lyrics. One of my teens called me out for telling them not to use bad language and I was singing whatever came on the radio. So, I gave up my music. Someone sent our church a music video with Mylon and Brokenheart, Petra and other Christian Music artists. I praised God and started looking for this music on the radio so I could turn my Youth on to it. Sadly, no one was playing it. At some event we met a gentleman named Bob Lubell who had a dream of starting a Christian Radio Station right here in Chattanooga and we wrote him a check. That's how much we wanted/needed this ministry through music! We have supported Bob (as partners) and his dream (J-103) since before the beginning. We are so blessed to be a part of the Ministry of J-103 as it reaches the lost and encourages believers! God has blessed this ministry so much that Bob and other's dreams have grown into JFest, Come on Let's Go and JRadio. JFEST is an outdoor Christian Music Festival where you can come listen to various Christian artist play their music, talk about a relationship with Jesus and even meet Him there! Come on Let's go is video testimonies of people who have "Been there done that" and how Jesus delivered them. It shows struggling people that they are not alone and what can happen if they want encouragement. And last, JRadio is a streaming music media that people can listen to various genre's of Christian music and pick their favorite to listen. Because of the various media methods of reaching around the world, the name is now PCM or Partners for Christian Media! And we feel so very blessed to be a part of reaching the world for Jesus through this organization!!! Thank you Bob for following your dream that God gave you and taking us along with you!

Love this Christian ministry! From J103 radio, to their community outreach, JFest, Come On Lets Go, and everything they do in between. I have volunteered on and off for several years. The staff has been so friendly. Each time I volunteer for the Share-a-thon, I am uplifted by the people that call in with their stories. What J103 means to them and how it has effected their families is so touching. The people who are involved with Partners for Christian Media truly love the Lord and have servant hearts.

I have been a part of the Partners for Christian Media family for over 20 years. I donate on a regular basis to this ministry because they are doing great works, not only in the Chattanooga area, but around the country and the world. Their platform that combines radio, digital radio, video and live events reaches all facets of people who desperately need to hear the message of hope on a daily basis. They are not only saving lives each day, but they are also nurturing the lives of people with positive music and message. This ministry has generational listeners who support them, with their dollars and their time as well. I especially enjoy visiting their ministry called Come on Let's Go. www.comeonletsgo.com It's a platform holding stories of people all over the world who have came to Christ in a miraculous way.
My wife and I have supported this group with thousands of dollars over the years. When I research organizations, I try to determine what their priority is: their passion for Christian Ministry OR their passion for Christian Busine$$. I'm sad to say that I have found the Partners for Christian Media (J103) has allowed their passion for busine$$ (money) to rule their ministry. This is coming from someone who's supported this group for years and years. I will not share the details (cause they will be picked apart by others), I will simply tell you this group's agenda has become more and more clear (revenue). If you enjoy listening to their station (J103) or their annual music festival (JFest), then great! I like that part too! But understand (like any mainstream media station) this group is A BUSINE$$ and your donations are going TO A BUSINE$$ not necessarily a ministry. I am only charged with supporting God's work, I am not charged with supporting a specific ministry/business. Therefore, I will be pursuing other ministries to support who has the correct priorities. I can only hope this group figures out what they want to be (a ministry or a business) and not try to dupe their supporters!
