Anthony Pero Artist: Anthony Pero

Website: www.myspace.com/anthonypero

Anthony Pero has been serving God with his gifts since 1995. He began leading worship and working in occupational ministry at Racine Assembly of God in 1999. Later that year, he was fortunate enough to travel with the Celebrant Singers, an inter-denominational music missions organization. He traveled with them for seven months. In his time with Celebrants, he played in 48 states, and five countries, including Poland, and Mexico.
Anthony returned home in 2000, renewed in spirit and purpose after his seven month missions trip. He resumed his duties at Racine A/G, leading worship more frequently, writing songs for special events, and performing at various churches throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. In 2001, he rejoined the Celebrant Singers for ministry in the country of Venezuela.

Anthony recorded his first studio album, Determined, in the fall of 2001. Determined was recorded at Girder Mode Studios in Chicago with Christian industry veteran Rex Carroll, and the two quickly became friends. Their teamwork led to collaborations such as "Holy One," and "Gracious God." In 2004, Anthony took 3rd place at the GMA Song of the Year contest at the Music in the Rockies in Estes Park, CO.

Anthony currently serves as Minister of Music at First Assembly of God in Lima, OH. His duties include leading worship and directing the Sanctuary Choir.

Dana Robinson Artist: Dana Robinson

Website: www.singitdana.com

Dana Robinson, even as a young girl, displayed a special love for singing, writing and playing the piano. To all who know her, it is clear that those gifts came directly from the Lord. At the age of fifteen, Dana was involved in a major car accident, which left her in severe pain for many years. Dana's life is an awesome testimony of the Lord's healing and delivering power. She started writing songs and leading worship in 1993 and in 1994 Liberty Ministries was birthed as a result of the call Dana and her family felt for hurting people. Through the years, Dana's love for ministry has blossomed into a burning passion to share the "messages in melodies" that God has placed deep within her heart. Dana's experiences and convictions surface in her songs and are evident in her voice. She draws the listener in a very personal and spiritual way, regardless of their musical preference or religious background, into an awareness and reverence of the presence of God.

Jim Yackel Artist: Jim Yackel

Website: www.jimyackel.com/music.htm

Jim Yackel came to the cross and gave his life to the Lord Jesus Christ in 2000. Circa 2005, the Holy Spirit prompted him to become active again in music, which led to the 2007 release of his first Christian-Rock CD, titled AGAPE'. The
influence of the Beatles can be heard in the melodies and chord changes, but the lyrics speak of Jesus, His free gift of salvation, and His soon return--Maranatha!

The road Jim Yackel took to the cross was a long and winding one...

Yackel began playing nightclubs on the "Thruway Circuit" in upstate New York in 1980. The bands and the personnel were in a constant state of flux; however Jim's writing style was constant--Beatles influenced pop-rock.

After years of pursuing the elusive recording contract, Yackel and his band Groovetown Fire Department independently released a CD in 1994. GFD did not last long after its lone recording venture, which prompted Yackel to go solo and release a cassette-only album titled "Petition" in 1996. In 1998, Jim Yackel retired from making music. He believed that his exodus from music was permanent. What he knows now and didn't know then was that the "retirement" period was but a temporary one--a change of season and a time for restoration, which would lead to being born again through Christ Jesus. Jesus gave him life everlasting and a new purpose in music making.

-->Jim Yackel was nominated for two 2007 MOMENTUM Awards, sponsored by the Christian Independent Artists Summit. Jim was nominated in the Male Vocalist of the Year and Rock Artist of the Year categories.

-->Jim's songs Supernatural Wonderful Thing and We Are The Church both reached #1 on the UnsignedBandweb.com Christian Rock charts in January, 2008.

Wendy Jepsen Artist: Wendy Jepsen

Website: www.wendyjepsen.com

Wendy is a worship leader, singer/songwriter, recording artist and speaker. She encountered the love of God in Christ at age 19, beginning a journey of intimacy with her Creator. Wendy reached a pivotal point in her Christian walk during a 2 1/2 year period in which she had no voice. During this “wilderness” time, Wendy experienced a deepening of her relationship with God as she found His voice to be one of tenderness and mercy (Hosea 2:14-16, 20).

In 2004, after completing graduate studies in the field of social work, Wendy felt the call of God on her life in the area of music ministry. “God has used music in powerful ways in my own healing process, and I hope to use it to help others hear His voice and respond with a lifestyle of extravagant worship.” Her love of music and songwriting has become a vehicle of expressing and sharing the

reality of God's healing and love, and her passion is to encourage others to seek a life of deeper intimacy with Christ.

Wendy and her husband Chris have two sons. She is involved in the worship ministry at their home church in Ogden, Utah, and has ministered in concert, church, and prison settings. She is available for concerts, leading worship, and teaching about the journey of the heart into true intimacy with God.

David Michael Carrillo Artist: David Michael Carrillo

Website: www.gentlewindmusic.com

With his message and music, David has become a welcome guest for worship services blendingwell in both tradtional and contemporary worship settings. He has spoken and sung at many pastors' conferences, spiritual retreats, and ministry events.

David's music and ministry come from his relationship with his Lord and the inspiration of the pioneers of the Jesus Movement. Nancy Honeytree, John Michael Talbot, and Wendy & Mary all made a big impact on David's life while growing up. Their music and message brought hope and healing to a young shy boy rejected by his peer while growing up, to a teenager facing fear and low self-esteem, and to a young adult as he struggled with atention deficit hyper-activity disorder (A.D.H.D.) as well as other learning disabilities.
Two of his own songs from his CD "A Journey with the Wind" have gained national attention. Dave Dravecky, former all-star pitcher, uses the song "A Servant's Prayer"in his book "Portraits in Courage". And in April 1999, David was requested to share his song "Trust in You" for the memorial service of Cor Depooter who lost his life in the Columbine shooting.

David Michael continues to tour nationally and internationlly as the Lord opens new and exciting doors for him to share the life changing and healing message of Jesus Christ to a hurting world.

Darrell Smith Artist: Darrell Smith

Website: www.darrellsmithmusic.com --OR-- www.chapter3ministries.org

I am a worship minister called to serve the church. For the last seven years, that call has placed me in the New Heights community at Alamo Heights Methodist Church as a leader and a teacher. In addition to the ministry at New Heights, Stacy and I work through Chapter Three Ministries in an effort to serve the Church - the global body of Christ. Since 1996, we have served in ministry teams from College Station, Texas, to Guyana, South America. C3M allows us to serve wherever we are needed and called - including Kairos Prison Ministry, Walk to Emmaus, Chrysalis, Alpha Bible Study and various other mission, charity and community events.

I am also a songwriter. I have been writing and playing music most of my life. For reasons unknown to me, God continues to bless this area of my life and ministry. I have had the privilege of recording and performing the music and messages that I feel need to be heard. In doing so, I have
had the honor of serving and working with some ridiculously talented artists and amazing worshipers.

Mended Vessels Artist: Mended Vessels

Website: www.mendedvessels.net

It has been said when you know your why, the what, how and when can happen. The why is, because we were created to do this, it stokes our fire, it brings peace.

The what is, that our words and actions will show that Jesus is real and the Bible is relevant for everyday life.

The how and when are, taking every opportunity to share song, stories, comedy and share the experience of past, present and hopes for the future.
Our hope is that our songs will communicate to others that God is real and that we can know Him in a personal way.

We don't know all the answers but we do know where to go to get them and it is a growing experience.

Artist: Ed Bamberg

Website: www.EdBamberg.com

In March of 2005, God called me to be a worship leader. This came as quite a surprise, since for the past 18 years I had been a businessman with no involvement in church worship ministry. I didn’t even play an instrument. However, out of obedience to the Father, I began to prepare myself for His calling, learning to play guitar, working on my voice, and entering into a mentoring relationship with the music minister at my church.

In June of 2007, it was prophesied over me that I would write songs of praise and worship to the Lord. Months passed and nothing happened. Then, in September of 2007, God began to give me the songs that have now been recorded. I hope they minister to you as you step into an intimate relationship with Jesus.

I want to give special thanks to: The Lord Jesus Christ, Dawn Bamberg, Pastor Van Sowerby and Fairlawn Baptist Church, Pastor Bobby Hopkins and Living Word Ministries, Pastor Michael Beaver, Mimi Brown, Bob Bamberg, Doug Relick, Ron Lambert, Klemmer & Associates, Dr. Bob Harrison, Dr. Lance Wallnau, Melody Music of Vero Beach, FL.

Shelly Wilson Artist: Shelly Wilson

Website: www.shellywilson.com

It has been almost 5 years since the Lord captured the heart of Shelly Wilson into complete surrender. Upon turning the last page of a Bruce Wilkinson book, she will never forget the Lord speaking the words over her “I am giving you back your dream, now go use it for me.” Her journey had just begun.

The journey would include the release of her debut album “In the Midst,” with the title track enveloping the emotions

and struggles the Lord saw her through in those recently past years. The album would then be placed in over 40 downloadable sites such as I-tunes, MSN Music, and Napster, to just name a few. In the summer of 2006,Lamon Records released her album single “Feelin Mighty Fine" to Radio and Wilson signed a publishing agreement with Moody Music Group in January of 2007.

Shelly is a member of the web community IndieHeaven.com where she has been nominated for Southern Gospel Artist of the Year for 2007. “There is nothing like being a part of an artist community whose sole purpose is to bring glory to God.” Upon the birth of her ministry, The Lord gave Shelly and her prayer group a scripture, Eph 3:20 “Now unto Him who is able to do immeasurably more than you could ever think or imagine, according to the power that worketh in us.”

Close to her heart is the desire to reach outside the church walls to share the love of Jesus Christ so that they too may know He will do “immeasurably more” for them as well. The Lord has filled her heart for interdenominational women’s ministry and the mountain of burdens the Lord wants to carry for them. That we all will walk in victory with the Lord Jesus.

Kelly Goins Artist: Kelly Goins

Website: www.kellygoinsproject.com

Kelly Goins is your typical son of a preacher man. Growing up playing strictly church music and sneaking in the secular artist when possible. Kelly played in various garage bands with childhood friends and brothers. At the age of 21 he headed to Northern California to try and get away from his past. Over a year later, finding himself broke and broken, he headed back to Tennessee. After rededicating his life back to God, Kelly began playing at a church. He had been out of the church for awhile and out of touch with their style of music, so coming in and playing at church was a challenge. After spending time under the mentorship of Rhonda Davis, Kelly's love of worship music grew until his dreams of being a rock star were far in his past. Kelly began to write worship songs and had a brief stint with the bands, "Michael and the Angels" and "Watergrave". He decided to focus on worship music. After about 12 years of writing and
being involved in the worship music arena...his writing had come to a standstill. "I found it a struggle to write the typical worship songs that we were hearing in church. . . . that's when God spoke to me to just begin to write about life... Feelings! Emotions! Struggles! and, that this was worship to Him."

Kelly began to write about things that the church would probably not consider "Christian" songs and, to be honest, they weren't. There was enough Christian music out there that didn't deal with real life issues and feelings. After this conversation with God, it was like a dam had broken and the songs began to pour again. The songs from "Spectacular Failure" are just a sample of the writings that have come from the heart of Kelly.

Kelly and his wife, Denise, have four children, April, Kennedy, Sheridan, and Zion and live in Suwanee, GA. Kelly is the Worship Pastor at Life Church International. We hope you embrace the honesty and integrity in these songs.

Elisha's Request Artist: Elisha's Request

Website: www.elishasrequest.com

Passionate worship, unique song-writing, hearing and releasing heaven’s sound describes the music of Elisha's Request. This family band desires to ignite fires of revival wherever they go by pointing people toward the experiential knowledge of God’s love, presence and power. They believe that such encounters with the foundational truth of God’s love and passion for us, launches people into doing the work of the Kingdom and living a supernatural existence. Elisha’s Request’s four CD projects reflect and expound on these truths. They also express the main focus of Elisha's Request Ministries: building a 24/7 house of prayer and training worshipers.

Elisha's Request consists of the Proctor family led by Michael and Penny Proctor and their adult children Hannah, Rebekah and Jesse, who have followed in the musical creativity of their parents as well as spearheaded advance into new territory. The Proctors present a pure, fresh, unpretentious anointing in worship, performed with heartfelt excellence. Their journey as a family worship band began in the summer of 1995 at a Christian family camp in Hawaii. Here, they led worship and played a few of their songs. Shortly after their first musical adventure, the Proctors began leading worship at a foursquare

church and learned how to flow in prophetic worship, listening to the Holy Spirit. Their vision lifted higher as God revealed His ability to do “more than a person can ask or imagine.” Soon the Proctor family started leading worship along the West Coast and began to minister in places like Kansas, Missouri, Hawaii, Mongolia, and Australia. They also held monthly worship meetings at their home for nine years and felt God calling them into full time ministry. So in June 2006, they began meeting weekly as a church under the name Elisha's Request Ministries

In the middle of recording their first CD project in winter of 1999, “Return to the Passion,” the name ‘Elisha’s Request’ emerged as the essence of their heart, to contend for the double portion inheritance for the generations. This request spawned the idea of making a two-CD set for the next project recorded in the summer of 2002 called “A Double Portion.” The flow of musical inspiration continued and moved ER to record “This Day Leads” in summer 2003, a CD that reached a whole new level in creativity and quality. Their latest project, “Glory to Glory,” was released in November 2006 and consists of another double CD with studio and live recordings from the monthly meetings at their home.

Artist: David and Margaret Gloyd

Website: www.burningbushmissions.org

Both Dave and Margaret have always loved music. Margaret’s father and mother brought up five children in a Christian home. All five played music and sang together, performing at various churches and church functions from a very young age. Margaret started leading worship when she was just 12 years old for both youth and adult services. When Dave was four years old his neighbor took him to a Baptist revival, it was that very day that he accepted Jesus into his heart. Dave sang in the church choir and picked up the guitar when he was 12. See Dave's Testimony for more detail of his walk with the Lord.

Dave and Margaret met in church. Margaret was leading worship for a youth group and needed a guitar player. David gladly accepted the invitation and when they worshipped together the presence of God was more evident than they had experienced before. Within about four weeks they were engaged. God had actually spoken to each of them individually letting them know that they had met the person they were supposed to marry. He has blessed them ever since! After 17 years of marriage they have five children, Christopher 16, Rachael 15, Zachary 13, Sara 10, and Noah 7. Quite a full house!


After years of ministering through their music, in 1999, God told them to start recording their own music and give it away. They listened and were guided in the vision God gave them. They built a studio and shortly after God began downloading songs and melodies into their hearts. Since that time, they have recorded their first CD, In This Place, and given away more than 3000 copies. From various websites over 100,000 people have downloaded their music. Their music has been heard all over the world and includes such far reaching places as Africa, Japan, Gambia, Brussels, China, Australia, The Sandwich Islands, … Their song, One Thing, was used in a Christian - European version of dance mania, the video game dance craze that has swept the states.

In the early summer of 2007, Dave and Margaret’s second CD, “Restoration”, is scheduled to be released.
