Testimonies

Hi steve and kerrie.
A few weeks ago when you visited tamworth you prayed and appologiesed and asked forgivness for all those who had been hurt by things that had happened to them in ministry in the past. At first I did not understand how you could ask for forgivness on behalf of other Pastors for what they had done to those under their ministry. But as quickly as that thought hit me I realised it was Jesus in you that was asking for their forgivness. At that I felt a huge release of a burden that I had carried for over ten years of the affliction while serving in a para church minisrty that my wife, family and I had served in just go.
I beleive God has numerous things for us in ministry to accomplish as he has said in His prophetic word to us as it is in Him that we step out to do His will. After all these years of carrying this wounding I beleive we can now move into what He has planned for us. I have learned much in that dry time and look forward to his new rain in our life.
Thankyou Steve for your obedience and willingness to go where God will take you. Thankyou for dropping into Tamworth that weekend. My prayers and support will be with you as you travell this great land of His reaching those in remote country Australia and beyond. looking forward to seeing and hearing you again as you set the captive free in Jesus name. As I was set free that morning.
God bless you and all your crew.

Hi Steve and team.
You may recall my story of your visit to Mt Evelyn last November. Your words and the Hymns from Heritage were just what the Doctor (Jehovah Rapha) ordered and helped me in a profound way to deal with the death of my daughter Katherine 12 months earlier.Thanks for the hug and the encouragement at the OL SKOOL concert at Blackburn Vic. We were just getting back into ministry and heading for Ukraine the following week with Careforce mission team.
I travelled in jeans and the tour T Shirt all the way to St Petersberg and then for the next two days as our luggage got lost in Amsterdam.
Even wore it to the ballet in St P and felt quite conspicuous !
Listened to Heritage at 38000 ft. Wonderful !!
God is doing great things in the churches over there and we were so greatful to be a small part of that.
Told my story of how God used your visit to minister to me and of the ministry you have in Aus. Gave away some copies of Heritage which they loved and appreciated.
Back to the rat race now…..God,How do you want to use me?
Keep up the very good work !!!!!!

Best Regards, David & Pam(returned PNG expat)

Hi Steve and all the crew. I just want to say what an awesome privilege it is to be a part of your ministry just by bringing your needs to God every day in my morning prayer times. And when I get your email updates I sort of feel like I’m actually on tour with you! Crazy, I know, but that’s how passionate I am about your ministry. Blessings, blessings and more blessings for you all in Jesus’ precious name!

I thank God for you and your team daily. It was a fantastic concert at Morrows Farm Katherine and being out in the open was awesome. Your music echoed to Springvale Homestead where we are staying and the song that someone heard was “How Great Thou Art”. The next night God opened the door for me to talk to this person and share the gospel. She shared with me and I was excited to have had the opportunity. Thank you for your music. May God bless you and the team as you travel around this great country. You are in our prayers. We pray you were blessed at Pastor Steve’s C3 Darwin Church.

So delighted you are heading to the southwest and notice that you are doing a bit of a zig-zig Perth-Busselton-Wagin- Albany. Do you have plans or have time on the way through Waroona, Harvey or Bunbury to do some outreach? Shouldn’t
be too hard to make some connections for you. Also my home town is Manjimup, which is having 100year celebrations this year and was the centre of Anglican Renewal Ministries Conferences in the 1980′s-90′s attracting many thousands and International speakers. (I came to the Lord in 1986 the year that Bill Sabritzky came to town)
Today the place is in much need of reviving again!
Look forward to seeing you down this way, peace and rest for you all in Jesus,

Thank you Steve for your faithfulness in following God’s voice and “having a go” for Jesus. Your humble words about the Heritage Tour sent weekly have been a blessing and an inspiration. My son and I have enjoyed reading about the adventures – as well as the spiritual messages shared at the beginning of each update. You words have been both gentle and soothing to the spirit. To all the crew who have shown courage and determination to follow the voice of God and “get on the road” with Steve, may the Lord bless you for your dedication to his calling.
Good (“God”) Luck on the final stages; may you all come back safe to your loved ones.

when I was 13yrs old and homeless I was taken to a Happening where you were playing.
I was there when you played in Karratha last.

Hi Steve and the team. So pleased to read in today’s email update that you have been able to take a rest after the very busy schedule of last year. I’m still praying for your health issues, Steve, that you will be totally and absolutely healed ready for the next stint God has in store for you. By the way, just in case you are interested, I write short drama scripts for church use or outreach, all based on Christian principles. I could email a sample of one or two if you wish. Just let me know, eh! God bless you all.

Hi Steve,

A little while ago i sent you a email. I mentioned how much your music had and continues to have a very positive impact on my life.

You were so kind and sent me a gift. I can honestly say that through some current hard times with the health of My Mum your music has been a huge blessing.
I have your postcard sitting on my computer desk.

My Mother is still in hospital and is waiting for a vacancy for full-time care.
I spoke with Mum i passed on your well wishes to her.
He smiled.

I trust your touring is going well. We hope many people are touched my your precious gift in your music, like I am.

Friday is my 37th birthday. I plan to spend as much of the day i can
with mum.

I would like to ask if you could pray with me for my mum “Cheryl” that god would give her peace.
Mum isn’t sleeping to well.
The hospital call me to speak to mum on the phone to see if i can settle her down as she is crying alot.

The doctor’s have prescribed mum some tablets to help her sleep.
I keep encouraging mum and reassuring her that God is looking after
her.

Her friends from church visit her and take her to the hospital cafe for coffee.
I am grateful to them.

Again i hope you and your family are well.
I will see you in May.

Take Care
God Bless you and your family

” at your concert in St George …. ”
I was actually tracing the orgins of “I Stepped off in George St” a pdf download @http://www.werner-gitt.de/down_eng/ENG_George_Street.pdf ,… and there was this link to your site, and lo and behold it was me old mate Ced Grace’s son’s site, so just had to drop you a line.

I read the story of the old man before and lost it, and intrigued that a man of science/pro creation had it listed among his numerous pdf’s

Thanks for dropping in to me in Kal. Many people asked “Did that bloke keep his promise?” A few were suprised that you made it.
Good to read some of the testimonies, not enought time to do more.

Gen 15:1b word of the LORD came …., saying,
Fear not, Steve:
I am thy shield,
and thy exceeding great reward.

Psa 43:2 For thou art the God of my strength:
Why dost thou cast me off?
Why go I mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?

Psa 43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles –

Psa 43:4 Then -
will I go –
unto the altar of God, –
unto God –
my exceeding joy:

yea, upon the ‘ geetar’ will I praise thee, O God my God.

‎7 hrs at the Kimberley Moon Festival- Jimmy Barnes, Bob Evans, Vanessa Amorosi, Pigrims, Alex loyd – Price about $250, 7 hrs of my life I wont get back and about 1000 people with very sore heads.

Thank you for an awesome week at Kununurra. It is plain to see that you have a passion for your music and for the people who hear it. God bless you as you travel around this beautiful land of ours ministering as you do to those who have ears to hear. It is a privilege to know you and I hope our paths will cross again one day. In the meantime pray God’s blessings upon you and your family.

I was so blessed to hear your songs when you come up here for Joyce Meyer crusade in 2008. I come from the Highlands of Papua New Guinea and the song that you sang Highlands Highway and Wantok tru i was blessed .
Good to see you coming back to your childhood ples and hope you enjoyed your stay here.
God bai was long yu na ol hauslain bilong yu,
Me wantok tru bilong yu.

I forget to mention to you when we met at MAF MT Hagen yesterday – we called in at Kongo Coffee last month on the way to/from Lae and the ladies in the coffee shop still had your CD on display and were excited that you had been there.
Thanks for your (and the team) involvement in the tour and for your encouragement.

Hi and Thank you,

Thank you for sharing the time here in beautiful PNG.

I am indeed thrilled by your music and quita works…both steve and skypilot.

I visited the website and boy, you have one of the best site, i will listen now the the cd I bought on Saturday.

Dear Steve and Kerrie

Thank you for visiting Rumginae. It was such a wonderful time for the community. I have spoken with many people who were greatly encouraged by the visit. It was an event which inspired a new depth of unity in the community and we thank God for your fellowship in the gospel.

It was a very great privilege to have you come to our home on Friday morning. I believe you have helped Tom to visualise his future dreams. He was inspired by your ability to play the harmonica simultaneously with the guitar. We found him later that day strumming his guitar with his toes (very PNGish) and pretending to play a trumpet with his right hand.

Thank you for setting an example in being very intentional about connecting with individuals. I really appreciated having some time to speak with Kerrie and hear some reflections on parenting amidst the busy-ness and challenges of your ministry. The schedule on your website looks very taxing.

Thank you for your generosity in sharing your CD’s with us. They have been playing constantly!

We are forwarding a copy of our most recent blog (from http://www.priestfamily.info) as it covers the MAF celebration. I’m sure you would like a photo of yourself with a pink guitar!

We are praying for you as you continue on in taking God’s message of love, mercy and salvation to more people and places.

In Christ

Christ died for us, so that we could live with him, whether we are alive or dead when he comes. That’s why you must encourage and help each other, just as you are already doing. 1Th 5:10-11

Hi Everyone

We have been fans for years, many years. We had the privilege of attending your concerst at Kingston SE last weekend. What a great night it was. Thank you so much for encouraging Sharon, the lady who so magnificiently decorated the hall. I had the privilege of sharing coffee with her Tuesday morning that Frances organizes.
Thank you also for the effort of your weekly newsletters – your efforts are appreciated.
Praying for your ministry with gusto.

Just wondering if I could have permission to use the following quote which was in this weeks Prayer Notes (Sep. 20th)
Quote: We praise the Lord for friends who believe in what we do…. friends who don’t just talk about it but they actually live it!

G’day Steve, Rod and Co.!

I just wanted to touch base and say a BIG thanks on behalf of everyone in Murray Bridge who came to see and hear you and the SkyPilot last Saturday night.

We have been greatly blessed by your visit, your testimonies and your graciousness in sharing the good news of Jesus through your gifting of music.

You’re welcome back any time!

Good luck with your tour and may you reach many lost souls and refresh many more.

God bless, Stu (local law enforcer…!)

Hi Steve & your awesome team/family,
Enjoyed your concert last night at Highway Christian Church, Kingaroy. First saw you at the Gospel Music Festival in Toowoomba in 2001 when new to church. Was thrilled to find concert still so entertaining and really enjoyed Jordan, Trent and the young drummer (name?). Bought Jordan’s early cd and Skypilots cd. What amazing talent. Praying my unsaved little sister will get to your Mundubbera concert. I believe you can’t walk away and not wonder what God & Jesus is about after hearing an alter call like we had last night. You are so right…It is the most important decision you will ever make. God Bless you all.

Last week a new lady came to our church (King’s Church / Christian Outreach Centre Kununurra) and was saved during the Service.
After the Service she shared with me about a 12 year old boy named Alan who came with her to Steve’s outreach concert in Kununurra last year with a broken hand. He was due to fly to Perth to have a plate put in his hand and when he was there the next week, x-rays discovered there was no longer a break…he had been totally healed and praises God for the prayer from Steve for him at the concert!
Secondly, I visited a friend in Sydney a few weeks ago and took a gift from Steve’s CD collection that we sell in our church bookshop. ‘Better Days Ahead’ was the perfect choice which she looked at and listened to and cried because it was like a word from God to her….you see I had no idea of what she was going through at the time and today she is on the healing road and smiling again, comforted that there will be better days ahead for her and her family and that this current time of trial will pass!
Praise God for your faithfulness Steve, in carrying out your calling to serve Jesus and make him known through your songs, preaching and prayers.
