"I would recommend to the Indiana Gospel Music Association this ministry of “His Voice Through Us.” This wonderful gospel quartet is comprised of Ray and Janet Seaman, Tommy Linder, and Eric Shaw. All four of these fine people are members of Northside Baptist Church in Indianapolis, IN where I have the privilege of being their pastor. This is a fine group, not only musically, but also in ministry. Everyone of these singers is actively involved in Sunday School, choir, discipleship, and the overall ministry of the church. It is with great pleasure I commend their ministry to you and pray that they will receive increased opportunities to be used and be a blessing to others.” Dr. Mark S.
Hearn, Senior Pastor |

It has been my joy and delight over the recent
past to know and to work with His Voice Through Us numerous times.
We have developed a deep friendship and camaraderie in ministry that
has led us to experience some of God's richest blessings. Most
recently, Ken Gates Ministries, Inc., invited HVTU to be our
featured guests for a Celebration of Ministry dinner concert event.
Again, as I have known them in the past, Janet, Ray, Eric, and Tommy
exalted Christ with their music and their spirit. Their blend of voices is rich; their harmonies are warm and close; their style is so pleasant to the ear; however, their greatest trait is a heart to honor the leadership of the Holy Spirit in worship and praise to our Lord. As President not only of Ken Gates Ministries, Inc., but also Indiana Gospel Music Association, I have found servants' hearts in all they do and every situation in which we have served together. We have shared in the fellowship of ministry and prayer many times and have seen God's Spirit move among us. I thank God for what He is doing through His Voice Through Us. Ken Gates, President Ken Gates Ministries, Inc. Indiana Gospel Music Association |
| “It is not often that I have the opportunity to
recommend an extraordinary Gospel group, but I want to do that now.
For over sixteen years our congregation has had Gospel music in our
church the first Sunday of each month, and during that time we have
heard many wonderful Gospel groups. When “HIS VOICE THROUGH US” came
to our church I was not prepared for the professional and powerful
presentation of the message of Christ in music. Their commitment of
faith in Christ, blend of personalities, and harmony of voices
blessed our congregation. We will certainty invite them back to our
church.” Rev. Frank R. Smith, Pastor Fellowship Baptist Church Shelbyville, IN |

“When HVTU asked me to begin producing their
second CD project, it occurred to me that there have been very few
times in my life when ministry, talent, heart and friendship have
all collided in such a perfect and powerful way. This has been one
of those relationships that from the very start had God’s
fingerprints all over it! Their genuine heart for lost people, their
keen insight of how to minister to believers, their constant stride
toward excellence and their deep love and awe for our Savior, Jesus
Christ, are what makes HVTU special. They understand that it’s not
Janet’s loving songwriting or Tommy’s clear, one-in-a-million tenor
voice, or Eric’s effortless lead or Ray’s perfect inflections or
even their unmistakable vocal blend that make them so great. While
those qualities are undeniable, it is their unending adoration for
Christ and love for each other that sets them apart. We have
worshipped together in many settings, from the intimacy of the
recording studio to large conventions and everything in-between.
Each time I am blessed, encouraged, restored and ultimately reminded
through them that we serve an amazing God who has laid out one
single purpose for HVTU…to tell the truth of Jesus Christ through
music and in their lives. Thank you so much for showing me again and
again what Jesus looks like. I love you guys and I could listen to
you sing all day! In fact, sometimes I do!!” Phil Jacoby Worship and Arts Associate Executive Producer Northside Baptist Church Indianapolis, IN |
| “What a joy it was for our congregation and
visitors to have been blessed with your ministry this past Sunday.
Immediate favorable responses as well as later conversation
testified of how much you all were appreciated. The music that you
chose and the excellent tonal blend in your singing had impacted our
congregation immensely. You related so well in your ministry and
your ability to meet and relate to our people that many have asked
if it would be possible to have your return some time in the future,
and we certainly would look forward to that time. We all felt the
Lord was exalted in your ministry at our church. Thank you so much
for your kindness in sharing your God-honoring service in music. The
LORD be praised! Rev. Don R. Janis, Pastor Morris Street United Methodist Church Indianapolis, IN |

| I was only able to stay for the first half of the
concert Sunday evening at Arlington Christian Church, but I wanted
to let you know that I really enjoyed the music of His Voice Through
Us. The group produced a wonderful sound, and it was a joy for me to
hear! Thank you for sharing your talents with me and everyone else who was in attendance Sunday evening! Hope all is well, Bradley A Berkemeier |
|
| I send greetings in the precious and matchless
name of Jesus Christ. I hope all is well with your group and your
families. Again, I would really like to know how to get Out-of-print
Accompaniment tracks from Sandi Patti. If you could give me a few
ideas, it would be awesome. I pray that where ever you go to minister in song, I pray that God would use you in ways that will bring the lost to the saving grace of Christ Well, gonna close for now. Always keep in touch, you have my email address on the sheet that was at the Men's Retreat. I really enjoyed the music. In His service, joyous & jubilant Mark A. Garcia From Oakland Woods Baptist Church Clarkston, MI (I John 4:7-8) |

| Eric: I personally want to thank you and your
group for the blessing I received along with many church members at
7th St. Baptist Church in Cullman. I regret we didn't have longer to
advertise for a larger attendance. I know each one received a
blessing. Your harmony is outstanding. God knew exactly what he was
doing when he placed you with this group. It was wonderful and
please contact me if you are ever back in this area so we could
schedule again. I did want to speak to you after the performance but
you ran off to retrieve something and I lost sight of you. Again,
thank you for contacting me (thru Pam/Dorothy). I know your head is
high above the clouds because of "Little Trey". Thanks again Eric.
It was nice to see you again. Hannah Bryant Hudson |

| Hey Guys, We enjoyed you very much at Calvary Heights Baptist Church in Martinsville. As a former SBC camp manager it is a joy to see you at a sister camp in Michigan. I believe that the correct pronunciation is Bambi Lakes in Roscommon, Mich. I know that because I spent some time up there a couple of years ago on a prayer retreat. Am lifting up your ministry. Rev. Bobby C. Copeland President Copeland Christian Camp Consulting |
|
| Thank you so much for coming and sharing with us
in Morgantown. Several people told me how much they enjoyed your music and hope to have you back again. I hope the love offering was enough to cover your expenses for coming. I found you by doing a search for Indiana gospel music groups. Again thank you for ministering for us and God Bless. Mark |

| I just wanted to tell you how much Evelyn and I
enjoyed the "Night of Praise" last Thursday night at Northside.
Everything was wonderful, from the food to the praise and worship. I
am glad that:"His Voice Through Us" is involved with the IGMA,
because they seem to be an organization that has their hearts in the
right place. There is no doubt that when you put Jesus first, all
other blessings follow. Thanks to all of you who had servants'
hearts and you humbled yourselves to help some of those who have a
hard time carrying their plates back to the tables. That kind of
service is how your relationship with Christ truly shows through
your life (and it didn't go unnoticed). I have been giving a little thought to your question about what could be done different/better for your "Night of Praise" at Northside. One thing might be to enlist volunteers who could deliver the food to the tables like has been done at the "Senior Luncheon" not too long ago. That way, guests could continue visiting, while the serving takes place. However, I must observe that a lot of fellowship did take place in the food line, but there were some who waited for the line to clear out before getting their food so they didn't have to stand in line. At any rate, you could probably get some of the Small Groups in the church to volunteer as well as the deacon body (I would be available as long as I am not out of town for work). But you know Ray, other than that I don't really know how it could have been much better. We had a wonderful time listening, singing and praising God with everyone that participated. Thanks for your service to Him, Ray and Evelyn The Gillilands |

| Dear Ray, greetings! I am a friend of Carl Grubb's and he gave me a copy of your cd to listen to. While I will admit to not being a "religious" person I was touched by the wonderfully executed music and the sincerity that helped produce it. Carl and I work together in a barbershop in Bradenton Florida and he is always a pleasure to work with. Well, there I went and used the w word! It is a lot more fun than work! Keep up the great work! I am a fan of good vocal music (groups like Take 6, the Four Freshmen, Glad, the Hi-Los and the Nylons are some favorites). I will check with Carl to see when you put out another collection of songs. Take care and God bless you and your efforts! PG | |
| John and I were able to listen to your new CD
this afternoon, and it is a big success in terms of our tastes. I'm
sure that we will play it over and over. What a blessing your group
gave us-so, God bless all of you. Mary |
|
| Hi Janet, Ray, & Tommy We just wanted to say thank you again for coming Friday night and supporting Dennis & I. We are so blessed to have had the opportunity a couple of years ago to meet all of you, and are able to enjoy your beautiful music. All of you blessed our hearts tremendously with your songs and encouragement, and we thank you so much for caring enough to step forward to help. You have no idea how much that means to both of us. We hopefully will see you again real soon, but until then may God's blessings be with all of you and your families. In God's Love, Dennis & Karen Coppock Families Forever |

| Well Hey Ya'll, I recently received the Northside Vision with what still knocks me back on my feet..(Tom). As I reclaim my anointing from Jesus Christ and still fall to my knees for His "pick me up" and assurance...I looked at this pic that appeared in the vision and on your web sight. I must say, I can hear your voices singing praises to our King. Why???? Because all your hands are lifted High to Heaven. To me, it reveals nothing of praise for your gifts that you have been given, it reveals to me that through your gifts your praising the only one who could have possibly given them to u. What a King we have to serve. What a joy to see other Brother's and Sister's in Christ still relish in His goodness. It warms my heart and even a picture can be a witness to the goodness of our King of Kings. He will prevail, He will prevail, He will prevail...My heart has begun to understand that so much more when I am down on my knees. Thank You....for having a Ministry that I KNOW TOUCHES HEARTS. Many blessings and thank ya'll for ur willingness to reach a world in so much need of our King, Jesus Christ.....Tara |
|
| Just a quick note to say 'thank you' for your
ministry this past weekend at Shady Green Pastures Bible Camp.....
The presence of the Lord was definitely felt and I thought the
response from those attending was very good. I believe there were
seeds planted and that there were people that got help through all
our ministries. Jeff Shelburne |
