As mentioned, we were overwhelmed by the testimonies and kind comments that flowed in as a result of  our iPod Give-Away Contest.  Thank you to all of you who participated.  The response was so amazing, I’m sure we’ll be giving away more fun stuff in the future.  Read below at a few of the great comments that came it.  For privacy reasons, all names were left anonymous.  We were blessed and hope you are also.

• “I will never forget what Ricardo said about a true worship leader, “It’s how that person worships when someone else is leading.” I apply the same principle to Pastors, teachers, ushers, greeters Etc… Thx for the wisdom.”

• “Ricardo, I had the privilege of seeing you live at my church, Solid Rock Church. I must admit that prior to that I didn’t know much about you, but it was very evident that you have a heart for worship; I believer that you are a ‘true worshiper. Your song, Moving Forward became an anthem not just for me but for everyone who heard that night. Moving Forward is simply one of my favorite songs; I am not going back [into the world system]; I am moving forward.”

• “I have been taken from a mighty long way from Drug Addiction escalating into mental illness culminating in the healing of my Mind and Body (Healed from Hep C miraculously by God ) the doctors were amazed. the power of the cross allowed me to move forward by calling His name. I was able to be involved with Ricardo at Teen Challenge’s 50th aniversary and after that we played quite a few songs from Ricardo’s songs and these are my favorite from this list.”

• “I was so excited to come across the song “Moving Forward’ in 2007. I was going through chemo at the time and I kept the song on repeat, declaring “You make all things new, and I will follow you forward”…forward through the disappointing news that I’d likely never be able to have kids, forward through losing my hair, forward through sickness and I’m on the other side of it now, giving all glory to God. He can be trusted! Thank you for Moving Forward.”

• “These three songs are the ones that move me the most, to lift my hands and give all of me back to God in thanks for sacrificing His Son, Jesus, to save me!!!”

• “Moving Foward is my favorite song by you, God spoke to me one night threw that song in a very mighty way that changed me forever!”

• “Our praise team was moved to a hold new level when these songs first came out! We are looking forward to your new album with much anticipation!
  My husband, and pastor of our church, just passed away and I live on some of the praise and worship songs you have done. Thank you and God Bless.”

• “What a hard decision! Only three choices? I want them all. Such powerful music. Makes days like we are currently living in easier to manage. There is much needed strength in all your songs.”

• “These 3 songs have ministered my life in a very profound way, especially during those testing times that we all go through daily and it doesn’t matter how many times I listen to them, but every time I can still feel the anointing God is pouring to me through these songs.”

• “All the songs are great. I love the story and the personal challenge in the songs i chose though. They remind me of the redemption that we live under, and challenge me to live in that. God doesn’t remind us of our past, so it’s time to move and worship Him will all we have! …Ricardo, your music blesses me!”

• “I”m not Ashamed to worship the name of Jesus, isn’t that the most powerful song you have ever sung. I will never be ashamed to worship my Lord and Savior.We are so blessed to live in a country where we can worship him freely,I can ride sown the road and shout out the name of the Lord and no one will say anything to me I want to be crazy for Jesus.”

• “Just did 2 of these for a biker service. It was awesome!”
