Let me first start by saying, God you are awesome! I thank You for Your love and mercy and I'm so thankful for Your grace. If it wasn't for Your Amazing Grace where would I be? I'm so unworthy to be able to carry this wonderful gospel through song. So many times You have proven over and over to be faithful. For many years I searched for direction from the Holy Spirit for the Father's will for my life. Heart 2 Heart has only become a dream come true - a chance to minister in song and also see people saved, encouraged and healed all through the ministry of song.
I never dreamed that God could use a small town southern gospel group in such an awesome way. Never could I put into words the things that have happened since January of 1998 when God arranged and put this thing together not only in our concerts but also in our spiritual lives. Oh how I love Him and want to continue to serve Him with all my heart and all my strength until the day He takes me home to live in perfect peace with my Master forever!
To my wife, Deana, I love you! Thanks for all your support and countless times you have traveled when you didn't feel you could. To my kids, Keleigh and Ashleigh, I love you so much! Mom and Dad, I never could minister without all the ways you have loved and supported me. To all the family and friends that love this ministry and believe in it's calling, you , I believe have a great reward laid up for you because you took of your time to pray and support such a special calling.
If I could write all the things that I feel in my heart the Internet could not contain all the pages. We only have a short time left to tell this lost and dying world that Jesus still saves, delivers and sets free those that are in bondage and He still heals. There is awesome power that lies in the name of Jesus and we have access to the very throne of God through that name. Heart 2 Heart is a God sent ministry and I pray that through the power of the Holy Spirit we will purify our hearts and minds and prepare ourselves for the great and mighty things that I know He has in store for the future. We desire the prayers of all who read these testimonies. There is still a great work to do! To God be the Glory for all he has done! Lord I know that it won't be long until we join You and all our loved ones in that home You have prepared for us and what a CELEBRATION that will be!
I couldn’t have imagined that God had such a wonderful plan for me. As I look back at all the things in my life that has brought me to this season, I can only say, Thank you God! Thank you for every blessing, for every trial, for in it all, I see your mighty hand. God called me at the tender age of eight. I always knew God had something awesome in store for my life and I was going to get to see many souls changed. God showed me a sea of people who would come to know Him as their Savior. I have wanted to make an impact in the Kingdom of God ever since. The Lord has been so very good to me, His mercy, love, faithfulness, it all amazes me.
My husband, Mark and I get to travel together as he is the sound technician for Heart 2 Heart. Being able to minister together has been a blessing within a blessing. He has such an arresting heartfelt testimony to share wherever we travel. I’ve seen so many touched by his life experiences and how God has set him free. It swells my heart every time. My children, grandchildren, parents and grandparents have all played a big part in my life. They are my inspiration. I love them all dearly.
Five years ago, when I started singing with Heart 2 Heart, I felt I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I was in the middle of God’s will. I have seen many souls saved, set free, and delivered. I love bringing Christ wherever we go showing His love and kindness to all who are around us. My prayer is that something we do or something we may say will encourage His people and uplift the name above all names, Jesus Christ!
For as long as I can remember I have been around southern gospel music. As a young child, my family,"The Joy Trio", traveled, sang and labored for the Lord until I was in my teenage years. Ironically, when God blessed me with my husband, David, he continued allowing me to travel and see souls saved and ministered to through the ministry of Heart 2 Heart. Although I never participated all those years in the singing I placed a great emphasis on supporting the ministry
and praying for God to use every member.
With that said, I never imagined that God would have placed me in the position that I am in now. Isn't it funny how God has a plan for your life and only He can mold you and make you into what He wants you to be... for that I am thankful!
I am very excited about what God has in store for our ministry. I sincerely pray that others will see Jesus in me and be blessed. I desire to encourage God's people through the words of a song or a simple smile given while on stage. My deepest hope is to see the lost come to know Jesus and experience life at its fullest! In whatever way God chooses to use me, I am truly grateful!
God has been so good to me and although I have failed him time and time again He continues to pour His blessings on me. I have not yet become all I should be, but I'll keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ saved me for and would have me to be!! Until He comes.
