For the last 17
years…..I have been involved in music ministry. I have been
inspired by the work of Mother Teresa, who spent her life feeding
the hungry, clothing the poor and sheltering the homeless. I was
inspired from her writings to call our musical group “CHRISM”. She
stated she received a “special Chrism” from God which was a clear
call to begin her ministry with the poor. “Chrism” means anointed
and represents a Holy calling from God.
Where our work begins is within the body of Christ. I hear the
call to feed the spiritually poor who are struggling with their
faith, as well as inspiring all God’s people to seek a personal
and life giving relationship with Jesus Christ, our Savior and
Lord. I hope the message within the music helps others to reach
out for Christ’s love and His transforming grace.
“I will praise God’s name in song and glorify Him with
thanksgiving”.
Psalm 69:30-31
For my part, I began working with the mentally ill. That led to
working in the jails. The result was a 25 year career in the field
of probation and law enforcement. I spent brief periods working
with the sick and dying in hospitals as well as the mentally
challenged and severely handicapped. You might say I have seen
things that most people don’t want to see. I have been where most
people don’t want to go.
Finally after all these years I have taken all of my feelings and
emotions and directed them into one powerful message. I am
communicating to the world a testimony of my beliefs. I am
witnessing to the love of Christ, as Healer and Savior. After
all…..I have seen Him in action.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that
whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
I believe that I have been called to stand in the path of the
young and old, the lost and the broken, those who wander in the
world, looking for love and acceptance and bring the love of
Christ to them.
The message in my music will inspire you to see God and the
infinite love He has for you. It will remind you that we are not
alone in our joys and sorrows. It will give you the courage to
reconnect to all people believing in the goodness that God has
given us to share with each other through Jesus Christ. Finally I
will share my joy from knowing and following Him. I thank Him for
all things.
