Southern Grace                      Recommendations

Strand Theatre, Shreveport, LA

Operating a full time performing venue gives me the opportunity to hear and see a wide range of artists. When I booked Southern Grace Quartet to open for Gold City, I expected a good performance from them. What I got was a great performance from a group of very dedicated Christian men.

When looking for a group to minister to your church or perform at your venue or event, my recommendation is that you consider Southern Grace Quartet.

COWBOYS FOR JESUS CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

April 27, 2008

To Whom It May Concern:

Southern Grace ministered at our church last Sunday and it was a day to remember as is any day when the Lord manifests Himself and moves in our midst.  All the guys are great and their personalities blend together and God uses them in an anointing that is fun but very moving.  Our folks were touched by the Holy Spirit as each one ministered in his unique gifting.  Mark and Don are both very sensitive to the Spirit and move as God leads.  Either one could preach at the drop of a hat, and they all have a real heart for serving God’s people.  Chip is very gifted and talented and makes sure that there is enough humor to keep all of us from taking ourselves too seriously.

We look forward to having them back for the Wimberley Gospel Music Festival on October 10 and 11 and they will certainly bless any congregation who gives them an opportunity.  I recommend you give them the whole service and let the Spirit move.  Our service is normally over by 12:30 and the ministry continued until around 1:30 and there was not a single complaint about the time or being late for lunch. God bless you Southern Grace.

One of the great joys of any pastor is to see the lay-persons of the church filled with a passion to use their own gifts and talents in the Lord’s service.  That is exactly the experience and blessing I have had watching four men in our church as they have blended not only their voices, but moreover their hearts to become a team of servants in the ministry of music. 

Southern Grace is a gospel quartet of the highest caliber.  Their music will speak for itself. But what excites me most is that these men sing from their hearts.  Our world is full of entertainers, even Christian entertainers.  These men are servants with a desire to lead their listeners in worship.  This is because they each love Jesus.  They are faithful husbands and fathers and witnesses.  Long before the quartet was formed they were Sunday school teachers and deacons and ministers in a wide variety of ways.  Music only gives them a common source of service as a family. 

I recommend these men without any reservation.  They humbly stand before your church in submission to the Lordship of Christ.  They will not flaunt their talent in any arrogant display that will dishonor their Master, and they will bring you a blessing in the process.

Southern Grace Quartet started out with 4 guys getting together to sing Southern Gospel music in the choir room of First Baptist Church Texarkana, TX.  That was over 11 years ago, and today they still have that same love for southern gospel music, but now they are sharing it with churches all over the mid west. But even beyond their love for music is their deep abiding love for their Savior. 

Southern Grace’s goal is to lead people into Gods presence through music, testimony and the sharing of Gods word. You will be blessed by having them in your church. Be ready for a blessing and a wonderful time as they lead you in praise of our Heavenly Father.

 "The music ministry of Southern Grace Quartet really touched the hearts of our people.  The Holy Spirit was present and several people rededicated their lives to Christ that night.  These guys are definitely anointed by God to reach people for Christ through their music ministry."

“It has been my joy the last two years to have Southern Grace share their obvious gifts and tremendous talents as they ministered to our congregation. Their hearts are sincere!  Their excitement is contagious!  And their music is balanced with the classics we love as well as powerful new songs performed only by them. If you want more than the “same old stuff” then this group is for you!”

“I have had the privilege of working with Southern Grace Quartet on several occasions in two different churches where I served as pastor.  Southern Grace was a blessing to me and really related to the congregation.  They sang from their heart God's message in song and had fun as they pointed folks to Jesus Christ.  I believe all of the guys genuinely love the Lord and have a desire to serve Him through their music.  I don't often recommend folks, but I do recommend Southern Grace without reservation.”

“Thank you for the inspirational words and songs that you brought to our church family.  God has blessed you with a beautiful and useful talent.  The work you have done here tonight will glorify God and encourage our folks to serve Him all the more.  Thank you for letting the Holy Spirit work through you.  Our gift, though not much, was given out of love for the Lord, His work and the ministry He has begun in you.  Your work will produce fruit because we trust in God for the results.”
