ANNETTE HERNDON

To whom it may concern:

We have had Annette Herndon with us in our church on several occassions.  Each time she has been such a blessing and inspiration to our church family.  Her faith and love for Jesus is experienced in every song she sings.  Without reservation, I heartily recommend her to anyone who chooses to use her.  You will not be disappointed.

Annette was fantastic. The Spirit of the Lord was moving in that service in a way I had not sensed in quite some time.  Annette has the wonderful ability to transfer her heart not only while on stage, but also to you in a one on one encounter. Our people had nothing but praise for her.  We also had a teenage girl make a profession of faith during the service.  Annette connected with the senior adults as well as our youth.  I could not have asked for anything better.  I know Annette would give all glory and praise to God, as we do. But, Annette deserves credit for being a faithful servant in order to be used so powerfully.

Dear Pastor or Church Member,

It is my privilege and honor to recommend to you Annette Herndon Ministries - MyRapha Music out of North Georgia.  As a Pastor, I look for quality Christian artists who are humble; demonstrate integrity; and are passionate to serve the Lord in ministry.  Annette Herndon in such a person.  Our church, New Beginnings Baptist Church in Tampa, Florida, has invited Annette to our church twice in the past 2 years.  We believe Annette is an anointed servant of the Lord; sings with passion, and teaches the Word of God with integrity.  She teaches with understanding.  Her songs are a testimony to the love and power of God.  If you are looking for someone to come and minister to your ladies, or the whole church body, contact Annette.  The Lord will bless you through her ministry.

Hello Friends, my name is Kenny Davis Jr., I am the pastor of Bethel Baptist Church in Berea Kentucky.  I would like to recommend to you the ministry of Annette Herndon.  Annette is a precious servant of the Lord, it is quite obvious  that she spends time alone with God and ministers from the overflow of that time.  Not only has God given Annette a beautiful voice but he has also gifted her to be able to minister in a powerful way to women.  

Annette has been with our church three times leading a Women's Conference and each time she has blessed the women of our community greatly.  Annette ministers in a sincere and practical manner that reaches across denominational lines.  For weeks after these conferences when I encounter women out in our community who have attended these conferences they share with me how encouraged they have been by Annette.  In addition Annette is a wonderfully talented singer who has never failed to bless our congregation every time she has been with us in concert.  If your church is considering any type of conference seeking to minister to the women of your church or your community I would recommend Annette to you without any reservation whatsoever!

I've known Annette for several years and found her ministry to be genuine.  I truly enjoy her singing and ministry.  I would recommend her highly to any church or ministry organization.

We had the awesome privilege of Annette being part of God's 1st annual Campmeeting at Paradise Valley Salvation Army Camp in Burkesville, KY in November 2010.  She is an anointed teacher, songwriter, singer and musician.  God uses Annette to give HOPE to the hopeless.  HE spoke to so many broken women (and men) through her ministry and continues to do so and she give HIM all the Glory!!    Gina Blakey, Women' s Ministry Coordinator God's 1st Annual Campmeeting

My name is Terry Fraze.  I am the Gospel Music Coordinator for our church.  I met Annette Herndon for the first time in 2004.  When she came to the church and introduced herself, she had such a sweet spirit.  In just a short while, it was like she and I had known each other forever!  She set up and started to sing, and i knew we were in for a glorious time in the Lord!  When the service got started, Annette just took control.  She kept the audience's attention and kept them excited about her songs and her beautiful singing.  I have since booked Annette back to our church and I know anyone who books her will enjoy her as much as we do.

Hello Annette, I just wanted to tell you what a blessing you have been to me. I first heard you on the radio I think it was last year.  You were singing "The Confrontation" and I had to pull my truck to the side of the road because I couldn't see through the tears.  I think that is probably the best, heartfelt soul touching song I have ever heard.  In fact I heard it just Yesterday and again the old eyes started leaking.  You have one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.  I drive a delivery truck for Airborne Express so I get to listen to Gospel music all day.  I think we have the best southern Gospel radio station in the world in fact it's world wide via the internet "KLLN" in Newark, Arkansas.  Keep up the great work you are doing for our Lord and may God bless and keep you. 

Annette, Thank you for inspiring me to sing gospel music.  My favorite songs to sing are "On The Wings of A Dove", "Soldier Under The Cross, "I've Got That Old Time Religion", and "He'll Do It Again".  I love you music and I like hearing you sing in person.  I am going to ask my mom to pick up a blank tape so that I can record my signing on my Karaoke Machine.  Then I'll send it to you so that you can hear it and hopefully I will inspire you to write and sing more music.  Bless you and praise the Lord.

Dear Annette, Thank you, thank you for Sunday morning.  I have many of my church tell me how much they enjoyed you and your music.  Thank God for wonderful children who help us along.  I liked the song "Bouquet of Prayers" as it spoke volumes to me. 


We were blessed by your music ministry yesterday. How did we get so lucky that you would come to a little town such as Stevenson, AL? You should be traveling with the Gaither's.  God has given you a wonderful voice and the gift of music. I'm so glad you are using this gift for Him!

RE: WARNING LABEL:  Just thought you should know maybe you should put warning labels on all your CD's from now on. Today I was coming home from a long disgusting day and you know I have been a bit down for a while now. I found your  "believe" CD in my truck and thought it looked really good for some reason so I put it in and in a few minutes I was up and having a "sangin" all by myself, or so I thought.  Anyway I kinda got lost in the feel good that was happening and really didn't notice the trooper . He noticed me. really quenched the spirit for a few minutes but I just explained it to him and he really got a kick out of it I think.  Anyway he suggested I back off on the volume and the accelerator and maybe I wouldn't get to heaven as fast. I got a warning ticket. just thought you'd like to know.  Thanks for a feel good drive home.
  

Annette, You came to your church in Central, SC (near Clemson) several years ago for homecoming and you made the statement that you hoped your ministry would touch someone's heart and maybe lift their spirit.   I want you to know that your CD "From the Heart" has probably been played at least a thousand times in my player and your songs and words have comforted and inspired my walk with the Lord.  I really appreciate your ministry and wanted you to know that God did indeed put you here to lift HIS name in praise and worship.  Hallelujah! 

We received our CD's and free cassette. We have truly been blessed by these. We are just about to wear them out and will probably need to order more before long. Your music ministries are great. My husband was deeply touched with the one We Will March On/Memories. Our prayers for you, my dear, is that God will continue to bless you with beautiful songs and a most lovely voice.

Thank you for ministering in music last night at our church .  No one could deny the Holy Spirit was in control of the worship.  He orchestrated every component of the worship: your music, the teaching, and ministry following.  It thrills me to see the Lord work miracles among His children.  Now, we must take the miracles and ministry to the street.  The Lord doesn’t want to visit with us, He was a habitation – a place to live among us. Annette, your music carries such an anointing.  I believe you will be a part of this move of Father God.  The words of your music have come from the Father’s heart.  This is one of those things you know because you know, because you know. Blessings and peace to you and your precious family.  

Your web site is beautiful, and I love "Southern Favorites"!  My favorite is "Forever Sealed", AMEN!  I'm happy that God is blessing you and I pray that he will continue to use you to bless others.  You certainly have blessed me!

The song you wrote and sang "King of Kings" Sunday night at Chapel Christian Church in Winder, GA made the hairs on my arm stand up.  With your music, you show and live how much God means to you and it affects the people around you.  You are such a blessing from God.  I hope you will sing more at Chapel Christian Church.

Annette, I have been singing your music in my car, in the shower, to my daughter....since 1985.  I used to sing her to sleep with your song "When those old dark clouds are hanging low in your life, and it seems like everything you do turns out wrong...just remember dark clouds don't last for very long, when the storm is over, you will see the light.  On the other side of the storm in a rainbow, on the other side of the rainbow is the Son shinning through...you are blessing lives everyday.  Thank you so much for answering God's call.
