Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I hope this letter finds you faithfully proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ. My name is George Pirt and I am the Pastor at St. Catherine Baptist Church in Bushnell, Florida. (St. Catherine is the name of the town we are actually located in!) I am writing this letter on behalf of Cedric and Tonya McCormick. Cedric and Tonya have been instrumental in the ministry that God has placed me in. Let me explain how:

First, Cedric and Tonya provide Christ-honoring music to any service. We have had them for Open House, for Missions Sunday, for Revival Services, and for regular services. In each case, the music was conservative, uplifting, and Godly. It is such a blessing to see a family use their God given abilities for the Lord and for His glory.

Second, Cedric and Tonya provide training for the choir, soloists, and pianists. There have been many times that they were able to teach our choir not just what to sing, but how to sing. Cedric is very good at training the choir to reach their potential for the Lord. There are few, if any, pianists that are better than Tonya. She is a valuable asset for those who play the piano and they have a great opportunity to glean from her knowledge.

Third, Cedric and Tonya provide an extraordinary opportunity. At the church that I pastor, the music had to be changed into Christ-honoring music. We only have one pianist and it makes it difficult to coordinate everybody that sings to practice with her. Therefore, I asked Cedric and Tonya to come and play songs for us as we recorded them as a soundtrack for our people to sing with. Once again, it was better than I could have hoped for.

In conclusion, Cedric and Tonya McCormick can be a blessing to your ministry in many different capacities, and I am thankful for the positive impact that they have had on my ministry.

It is a great honor to be able to recommend the McCormicks to your Music Department. Tonya McCormick and I grew up at Gospel Light Baptist Church in Walkertown, NC, and it was there I knew God had blessed her musically. Cedric has worked in music ministry for as long as I have known him, and has a true heart for the right kind of music in churches.

They both have a great burden for souls and have lived consistent, separated lives that honor Christ. I have seen first hand the results from their musical abilities and our church was blessed to have had them. I have never seen anyone work with a choir for such a short amount of time and get so much out them. What a blessing they were to us!

Cedric and Tonya are confident that God has burdened their heart to be a blessing to other churches and assist them in good music. It is my pleasure to recommend on behalf of myself and our church family, Cedric, Tonya and Titus McCormick to your ministry.

I am writing to let you know how much of a blessing and help Cedric and Tonya McCormick have been to our ministry over the years. Their love and dedication for the Lord in the area of music is unsurpassed. As you know, good, Godly music is so much needed in our day. It has a way of preparing the hearts of people for the preaching of the Word.

We have the McCormicks come and handle the music for our annual July Jubilee. I highly recommend them to you for revivals, camp meetings, jubilees or just to help your choir or song leader do a better job with your music program. Tonya is a fantastic piano player and Cedric leads and the pair sing together.

I know many have good music programs, but I also know that we all can improve. They are great Christians and enjoy serving the Lord together and will be a blessing to you. Give them a call.

It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend to you the ministry of Cedric and Tonya McCormick. I have had the privilege of knowing them for over ten years and know them to be faithful servants of our Lord with a heart for the things of God and a spirit of humility in all that they do. They are eager to serve God's people in whatever way necessary.

In February, I invited Cedric and Tonya to come and assist us in our Winter Revival. We had much riding on this week both in our church family and in our community with our evangelist scheduled in all of our public schools and a large city wide rally on Thursday night. Bro. Cedric led our congregational singing for the week, directed and instructed our choir, and served me as a "staffer" for the entire week. Miss Tonya played the piano in the services, worked with our current pianist on some specials, and was a real blessing to our ladies. Their music was conservative, Christ-honoring, and Spirit-filled. All of their music was "on target" for the service and for the purpose that we were striving for. We saw many decisions for Christ that week and they were an integral part of setting the stage for God to move.

Both of them were eager to serve and get involved all week, even with a newborn in tow. They are faithful servants of Christ and will be an asset to your ministry no matter how you may need to use them. I know them and I know their heart, I believe. By their actions, attitudes, and testimony, they show a servant's heart and a love for their Savior.

I have them scheduled to come and help us twice more this year. Our people have come to love them and their ministry. They will be with us in August for a series of meetings and then again in October for our Ladies Conference weekend.

I am thankful for our ability to serve the Lord together. God has used Cedric and Tonya here in LaGrange and I believe with all my heart, He will use them in your place of service as well. You may find others who are "more talented" than they, but you will not find others more submitted to God and willing to follow His direction.

If I can answer any other questions for you, or help you and your ministry in any way, please do not hesitate to call on me. Thank you for considering and praying about using the McCormicks. God bless you and your ministry there.
