"I would like to take this opportunity to
thank the
Calvarymen Quartet for volunteering to come into Deerfield Correctional
Facility. The prisoners really enjoyed the enthusiastic energy and gospel
music. This was a success! You are special people to donate your
talent and time to provide positive programming to the prisoners." -
William Morrow - Program Director - Deerfield Correctional Facility - Ionia, MI
"The quality of the singing was very good,
but more importantly was the spirit the singing was done in. I am very
impressed by the Calvarymen Quartet. I believe you are in this ministry to
see people saved and helped, not just to put on a show." -
Pastor John A Huffman - Smith Chapel - Latham, OH
"I liked how you guys 'looked like' you
enjoyed what you did. I know you do, but project that image as also!

greatly appreciated." - Dr.

Our people received you well." -

Calvarymen ... are a great quartet!" -
Pastor Tom Verwys - First Wesleyan Church - Ypsilanti, MI

and uplifting songs performed with outstanding quality. Thanks so much for

you for sharing your hearts with us! The extraordinary music was simply an
added blessing."- Jamie Elliott
- Parsons Baptist Church - Columbus, OH
"You were very sensitive to the needs and
concerns of our church. You were responsive to my request about the volume
of your music and length of your program. From your first song, I knew
that you were going to be a blessing. Your harmony and blend are as good
as it gets."- Pastor Bob Kaster -
South West Baptist Church - Fort Myers, FL
"Thank you for your ministry! What
a sweet spirit and the joy of the Lord shines through you. Each year you
seem to get better and better."-
David Hoover - Minister of Music - Central Nazarene Church - Flint, MI
"A first rate musical presentation.
The harmonies blend in such a way as to draw the listener into the throne room
to worship. The Calvarymen's presentation is a unique blend of worship and
fun done in a most professional manner, moving the Calvarymen heads above the
other groups that we've invited."-
Pastor Scott Betts - 1st Community Lebanon, IN
"Markey Church has had a history of not
showing up for concerts. We are not a very musical church. We almost
never bring groups in. When we do music, most of it is contemporary.
But our church LOVES it when you come. You are excellent and very cooperative."
The only thing you could have done different was to ... "make the clock go
slower so we could hear more of your songs in the same amount of time.
Please come again next year."-
Pastor Jim Kent - Markey Community Baptist Church - Roscommon, MI
"The Calvarymen Quartet continues to be a
force for the Gospel. A desire to provide quality, professional, and
entertaining music is evident in all my experience with this group ... a
gracious and humble Christ-like spirit along with great singing!!"-
Scott Wiley - Gospel Barn - Hillsdale, MI
The program ..."was well presented.
I like the idea of balance with speaking and singing. People come to hear
you sing. We here at New Faith were very impressed by your sincerity,
professionalism, and attitude. We saw Christ in each of you. Thanks!"-
Pastor Curt Swich - New Faith Chapel - Romulus, MI
"I appreciated the spirit in which you
ministered, humility and servanthood. Thanks for coming and ministering to
our people. I would recommend your group to others without reservation."-
Pastor Dennis - East Bay Calvary - Traverse City, MI
"It was a wonderful blend of music, humor
and fun, along with a powerful gospel message! Thank you for an excellent evening
of entertainment and Gospel message. The quality of your singing, your
choice of songs, and your personal style - along with your personal witness -
made a wonderful evening."-
