Dear Paul,

It has taken me much to long to respond to your family's visit to our church, but such rich ministry deserves some special recognition.

I have never before or since invited a music group to our church that I had not heard or which was highly recommended to me by someone I trusted. God encouraged me to break my normal rules when your letter of interest in coming to our church crossed my desk before your first visit with us. How glad I am that you came.

Several things stand out in my mind. The spirit of your ministry would be attractive and blessed even if the talent were not strong. The fact is that you are strong in both, and it includes your children as well as yourselves.

The original songs which come from your family, especially Debra and John, have great spiritual depth and power. The arrangements and accompaniments are excellent. You combine great lyrics with varied country, traditional, and contemporary style. Alice and I are both musicians (Master's degrees), and we are always impressed.

As a pastor I am impressed with your ability to communicate. You present a strong message of holiness in a very unique way. I can trust you completely in the service to be theologically sound. Your emphasis on making holiness work at home in the family is needed today.

Your willingness to come to a small church is very precious to me. I really believe God sets your appointments and you seek His guidance in this. This time your being here was at a critical time in the life of our church. We were able to have a number of new people from our community in the service. It helped us in our ministry to them and was a great faith builder for our people.

Please put us in your schedule again, and soon, if God would lead you to do so. May God bless you all as you serve Him.

Sincerely,

Richard Wycoff
