"It was a very nice time of sharing we had with Rebecca as she sang for us and played the piano very naturally and melodically. She sang a number that reminded us of the importance of the church in the life of the believer - it was our church anniversary at Stanley Avenue Baptist Church and we appreciated her sweet voice and gentle way of relating to us. I would encourage you to hear her CD's as well; the flute music works its way into one's imagination in a flash. We wish her every blessing of the Lord in seeking to reach out to those who are heartbroken as she ministers the hope she has encountered in Jesus Christ. "
Thanks Peter for hanging in there!
God bless
