Travellers’ Tales interviews

GRF team members were interviewed last week by Patrick Forbes for his weekly 30 minute programme on Premier Christian Radio, Travellers’ Tales. Kennedy Fraser and Anne Muir both shared insights from their own personal Christian journey with Patrick, who we were delighted to have visit our radio studios along with his wife, Annette. The two interviews will be transmitted later in the year.

Premier Christian Radio broadcasts in London but is also available on Freeview (channel 725) and Sky Digital (channel 0123) and on DAB radio.
