Pastors' comments regarding Billy's ministry . . .

"We always look forward to Billy Blackwood coming to First Assembly. While God has gifted him with excellent talent, the outstanding feature of this man is the anointing for ministry which rests upon his life. To pastors who are looking for guests to present to their congregation and who know the difference between singing and ministry, I recommend this excellent ministry." --Frank E. Martin, former Pastor, First Assembly of God, Memphis, TN

"It was my great privilege and joy to travel with Billy in ministry for two years. With my whole heart, I commend Billy Blackwood to the body of Christ as a trustworthy minister of the Gospel. Billy is a skilled musician whose music has enjoyed a broad range of acceptance. Billy's music is gentle, sensitive, and healing. The lyrics of his songs are as contemporary as USA Today and true to the eternal truth of God's Word. Billy is the most Cooperative, submissive musician I have ever known. He is a man without guile. Humility, compassion, and spiritual hunger are the visible strengths of his personality. Give God a chance to touch your people through Billy." --Michael D. Nelson, Founding Pastor, Hendersonville Chapel, Hendersonville, TN

"Billy was a vital part of the ministry of ANDRUS, BLACKWOOD, & CO. and greatly assisted us in our musical presentation. However, I appreciate most his sincerity and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit. I wholeheartedly endorse Billy as a fine Christian and anointed minister of the Gospel, both in the spoken word and through his music." --Sherman Andrus, Christian music minister, Oklahoma City, OK

"What many already know about Billy is that he is a gifted singer/songwriter. However, I was struck with this brother's ability to teach and share with an open heart the truths of God's Word concerning praise and worship. He practices what he preaches. As a result, Billy was transparent and vulnerable with his love for Jesus. I count Billy as a friend and very dear brother in Jesus Christ and wholeheartedly recommend him for your concert ministry, or speaking for your retreat or conference." --Dwight Douville, Pastor, Calvary Chapel of Appleton, Appleton, WI

"Speaking as an individual who majored in music myself, I can say with confidence that Billy's musical capabilities are of the highest caliber but, more importantly, as a pastor I can witness to the impact of his ministry upon the lives of my own congregation. Billy's life embraces the message of Jesus Christ's love for the world. It is clearly reflected in his music as well as in the very fabric of his own life. May I encourage you to open your hearts to the gift of God that is being poured out to the body of Christ through this dear brother." --Douglas P. Richardson, Pastor, Long Beach Christian Fellowship, Long Beach, CA
