To my friends and coworkers in the ministry,
Mary Courtney blessed us tremendously as she sang and gave testimony for our Lord in our morning service. She has a beautiful soprano voice which she uses for the Lord to sing "His" music. Her testimony is very strong having come from a background that will minister to many of your people. Combining music and testimony she leads a very effective worship service.
Mary is also quite effective in her personal relationships and relates well to people of all ages in the congregation. While she was with us she led one of our teens to the Lord in a discussion following the service. We were sincerely blessed by her leadership.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding her ministry.

Mary sang at the Christmas banquet at our church and was truly anointed. She was very sensitive to the Holy Spirit and ministered under His direction. Her warm and gracious spirit brought the presence of God to us. The people that attended commented that they enjoyed her and would love her to come back soon.
I would like to recommend her to you if she is in your area. To have Mary sing at a special occasion would make it a great service for the entire church body. Please feel free to call me at any time.

It is my honor and privilege to introduce Mrs. Mary Courtney, a gifted servant who sings praises unto our Lord. Mary has a unique way to minister to every heart that hears her sing.
She leads people to worship the Lord as she shares the Word of God in the power of the Holy Spirit along with her testimony of the life changing experience that God graced her with.
Mary will "bless," "praise," "magnify," and "exalt," his name in praise and worship. Her countenance certainly shows the Lord's loving-kindness and His faithfulness as she sings with a thankful heart for the testimony of her life changing experience that God has freely given to her through Jesus Christ.
Let me encourage you to contact her to come and to exalt the name of Jesus Christ together.
I would highly recommend Mary to your ministry as you search for ways to share the unsearchable riches of our Lord.

It was our great pleasure to have Mary Courtney sing for our Friends and Family worship services on October 31. She did an outstanding job and God has given her the wonderful gift of a beautiful voice. But more than that it was obvious to me, as it was to all who worshiped with us that day, that Mary's faith and love for her Lord shone through what, and how, she sang His praises.
Our Minister of Music, Mrs. Sue Bond, and I found Mary easy to work with as we planned the service and discussed the kind of songs we thought would be best suited to what we were trying to do. She willingly met and worked with us toward that end.
I highly recommend Mary Courtney to you.

Mary and her family attend Calvary Chapel Worship Center and are a vital part of the ministry here. They are a wonderful strong family in the Lord, and are a strong support to the church and to me.
I would like to highly recommend Mary's ministry to you and your church. Mary has a dynamic singing ministry. She would gladly share her testimony and minister from the Word. She is anointed, balanced and very solid in the Lord. She is a woman of high integrity and prayer and will submit to what you would direct her to do. She can minister to your entire congregation or you could use her for retreats, conferences, singles, married groups, or banquets. Her ministry touches all ages and she can be used for any occasion. You cannot go wrong by having Mary come to share the love and grace of Jesus Christ with your congregation. Your people will leave changed, uplifted and encouraged by her ministry.
Mary ministers at CCWC on a regular basis and she has always done an excellent job. She has ministered to the entire church, for our women's and singles groups and for banquets as well. She is a blessing from the Lord.
If you have questions or need further information, please don't hesitate to call me. I thank you for considering and praying about the ministry of Mary Courtney. Please give Mary a call and I know she will be glad to serve you in any way she possibly can.

Our Church recently enjoyed a mini-concert by Mary Courtney. I would like to recommend her to other Christian ministries.
She has a beautiful voice, spirit-controlled personality, and was very sensitive to our congregation in her selection of songs. We recommend her for your musical consideration.

I want to HIGHLY recommend Mary Courtney to your congregation. Her musical ability lends the touch of The Holy Spirit to any worship service. Sometimes you'll find someone who sings beautifully from a technical and vocal standpoint. Other times you'll find someone who has their heart and soul singing for Jesus, but their vocal ability leaves you hoping for more. Mary Courtney is that rare person who has BOTH the vocal range/technique/styling combined with her personal love of Jesus that makes worship "come alive."
Our congregation was deeply moved by the beauty of her lyric mezzo-sopranno voice and her personal witness for Jesus that was heard in each of her songs. She sometimes works with April Pozzi who opens up the music with her graceful sacred dancing. When they shared "My Alabaster Jar" together during our recent worship services we all were blessed. I recommend her to your congregation without any reservation. If you would like to talk with me personally, please call (386) 767-8544.
With Jesus' Joy!

Dear Mary:
Thank you for once again blessing us with your ministry through song. You are a wonderfully talented person who blesses those who come to worship the Lord. Your intertwining of song and Scripture were a special blessing especially during these times of turmoil in our land.
I have had many people request that you have that "pretty young lady" come and sing again for us. Both Suzanne and I are thankful for the genuine spirit you bring to our worship. We always feel the presence of God's Spirit so real and refreshing in our midst. We pray that God will continue to bless you as you witness to His power and mercy. May He grant you health and the stamina to glorify His name in every opportunity He opens to you.
I would be honored to recommend you to any of my pastor friends if you would like to expand your outreach. Again, thank you for the blessing you were to us. May God bless you as you serve Him.
Your Servant in Christ,
Doug Zipperer
