From Iona Michigan
What a privilege it was to meet you all at the Cedar
Lake Church in Michigan! It was certainly a Divine
appointment! You must come back to Michigan to
sing for Camp meeting, the dates are June 18‑26, 2004.
I will contact the Conference Secretary to find out who
is in charge of scheduling the music for the camp
meeting so that I can highly recommend that they arrange
for you to come if it fits into your schedule, and then
I will put it in the Lords hands.
The music on your CD (Wonderful
Words of Life) was not only tastefully done, but it
was free from any jazz or rock rhythms. We have
been blessed tremendously by it which is why I had to
buy 2 more copies to give away. I have done many
music seminars explaining the dangers of rock and jazz
theologically and philosophically right from the Bible
and the Spirit of Prophecy. I've conducted
seminars here in Michigan in some of our largest
churches as well as seminars scheduled by the Michigan
conference for the elders, youth and men's ministries.
I've also conducted one music seminar in California, one
at our college in Oklahoma and two in Toronto Canada.
The one question I get from
the seminars I conduct is this: what kind of music then
should we listen to? I am thrilled that I can
wholeheartedly recommend your CD!
I know that you have
another CD in the works. My prayer is that you
will not give in to the pressure that so many of our
Adventist young people have succumbed to by allowing
rock or jazz rhythms to come in and control their music.
You have an extremely rare gift, even among musicians.
The power of your music comes from your close walk with
Jesus and that power will remain as long as you have an
integrity that will not bend when it comes to
compromising His musical standards. I pray that my
book can equip you to meet the arguments of those who
would influence you to swerve from God's appointed path.
I cant begin to tell you
the rich blessing we have received from our brief
contact with you! I understand that you will be
back in Michigan near the end of the month. Could
you give us the times, dates and locations of where you
will be. If we can fit it into our schedules, we
would love to see you again. Until then, the Lord
bless thee and keep thee, the Lord make his face shine
upon thee and be gracious unto thee, the Lord lift up
His countenance upon thee and give thee peace.
Yours in the Masters
Service,
Pastor Karl Tsatalbasidis
