In my travels across the country doing concert ministry, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many Christian “artists” ranging from national names to local independents. Very few that I’ve met know the “stuff” of life like Marty Miller. I’ve known Marty for nearly twelve years. If there’s one word to describe him and his passion for ministry, it would be “faithfulness”. His music comes from a heart committed to Christ and resonates the character of a man who has endured more trials and tribulations than most would care to imagine. As one tempered by the refiners fire, I trust you’ll find Marty to be refreshing source of spiritual encouragement.

====================================================
Please read what some other
pastors have had to say about this Music Ministry -
Our church has been inviting Christian musicians to lead our Sunday worship
once a month for several years. Of
all the musicians, I can easily say Marty Miller has been one of my very
favorites. And the feedback I've
received from members of my church has been overwhelming.
There's a standard "praise and worship" sound that's common
among church musicians these days, but Marty brings a different and unique style
to his music that's all his own. While
singing the music he's written, Marty invites the congregation to join in his
faith journey -- the blessings and the struggles, the triumphs and the trials,
the joys and the sorrows. By
sharing so deeply and personally from his own walk with the Lord, he reveals the
spiritual growth he has experienced, and shows ways that others may grow in
their own relationship with Christ. The
result is never a performance for the sake of entertaining the crowd, but rather
a true worship experience where Marty manages to use his musical gifts and
talents to direct the congregation's focus well beyond himself and toward our
God.

We really enjoyed your visit and ministry. Many
people commented that they were touched by your message, but also impressed with
your heart and personality. You were open, sincere and genuine and that perhaps
spoke even louder than your songs. Many “artists” put on a “show”, but
you “shared” yourself and Christ. Very powerful. I hope we can do ministry
together again. May God richly bless your Canadian adventure with fruit beyond
your imagination!

Marty Miller presents a concert that appeals to audiences of all ages and
styles. We had grandmothers in
their 80’s and teenagers alike enjoying Marty’s music. He not only performs original compositions that powerfully
communicate his faith and the struggle in his own journey but he also performs
favorite hymns with a fresh appeal. He
is so authentic and comfortable with his relationship with Christ that his
witness in song is very powerful. I
came to this concert tired and left inspired.

too. None of this is about us -
it's all about God and who He is and what He's done for us.
Thanks for sharing from your heart.

personal witness of faith. There
was no doubt that Christ has deeply touched your life and because of it the
music you present is not work but a loving response to the Christ who has
redeemed you and the Spirit who sustains you.
Thank you for coming to our congregation and sharing your own music and

was definitely an Easter Season highlight for our congregation.

Our church thoroughly enjoyed Marty’s ministry.
Not only did we enjoy the corporate worship he led us in, but his music and
lyrics spoke to our hearts. There are a lot of “songs” out there, songs that
don’t say a whole lot about anything; but many of Marty’s songs resonate
with a call for the believer to become more like Jesus. They even challenge the
person searching for meaning to give their life over to Christ. I think any
church or ministry would not be disappointed by allowing Marty Miller to be a
part of their ministry and/or outreach.

I was truly blessed and challenged not only with
your songs, but also with your words. On a cold and blustery winter evening, you
helped draw us close to the warm heart of God, and reminded us of his
faithfulness and grace. Through a
variety of musical styles, we were also challenged to take what we have received
and share it with the people around us. I
especially appreciated your willingness to be vulnerable and to share some of
the struggles you deal with in your own life and on the job--I don't think there
was a person there who couldn't relate! Many of the folks who were there that
evening are used to a more formal worship style--could you tell?!?--but it is a
good thing to be drawn out of our comfort zones, and you did that very
effectively. Thank you so much for
allowing God to use you to bless us. We
wish you all the best, and hope you will consider coming again sometime! With
Christian love and appreciation,

Marty Miller presented a concert last weekend for
the members of our congregation. Marty
is an extremely talented musician who shares his faith through his compositions
in a spirit which resonates from his heart and out of his love for our Lord.
Marty's music was authentic and spoke to the hearts of those in
attendance. Even though the program
was presented as a concert, it was truly a time of worship filled with the
presence of God's Holy Spirit. Through
our time together, those in attendance were led toward a deeper relationship
with Chirst, our Savior. Without
reservation, I commend to any congregation to consider including this ministry
of music as part of their family programs.

outstanding. The prisoners enjoyed the enthusiastic energy you both displayed
and the spirit that you showed in your testimonials. Power over addiction
whether it is drug abuse or suffering from alcohol, you encouraged a spiritual
approach for deliverance. Both of you are a special people to drive the distance
from the Grand Rapids area, donating your time and talent to perform to
prisoners. This was a positive program and I believe that you have touched many
lives and increased their sense of self worth. This was a community outreach
program that directly benefited the prisoners. Many prisoners have advised me

and warm, friendly spirit enable him to convey the gospel message in some

to sing along some fairly familiar tunes. His style of music is contemporary,
but not so loud nor upbeat to distract anyone. There were many who commented
that the music was great along with the message. I highly recommend that you
consider letting Marty’s ministry cross paths with your ministry for a dynamic
presentation of the gospel message. In Christ,

I met Marty over the Internet by way of an intervention from God. I was
having a pity party in my office one morning because I was upset from the news
of my wife's condition. She had been diagnosed with Breast Cancer at stage 3 and
she started Chemo treatments within 3 weeks and then she was going to face
surgery. Well the Lord had given me some words for a new song I was working on,
and those words were the very same words that came over my E-mail from Marty
Miller, that "When The Waters Get High", "You Don't Have To Go At
It Alone". I listened to his demo and the Lord used that demo in my life in
a very powerful way and I immediately got on the E-mail and got acquainted with
Marty. Our church here at "Lighthouse Community Church" in Brownstown,

Marty, I
am still receiving compliments about the Coffeehouse/Concert and how it impacted
visitors there. The Holy Spirit was definitely at work. Your ministry meant so
much to all there. All are still talking about your lyrics and music as well as
your musical performing gifts! Some of the event visitors have afterwards
attended our "Joyful Noise" service. You helped accomplish what we had
prayed for! I look forward to having you back in the future! God's Blessings to
you and your ministry! Please share my comments with whomever you wish. I would
be more than happy to praise your ministry with any that are considering you for
their events! God Bless!

Wow, the
Holy Spirit can even use the Internet and email to accomplish God’s will and
purpose! We are still amazed by the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing you to
Baroda, Michigan. So, on behalf of everyone at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Baroda, I want to thank you for your expression of deep faith in our
Lord Jesus Christ, and for your response to God’s particular gift of music and
testimony. Your songs were not only inspirational, with a solid message of
God’s unconditional love and grace, but your ministry in music and personal
testimony were humorous and captivating for young and old alike. We were blessed
by your presence with us, and we are looking forward to you return visit next
year, for the Second Annual Marty Miller Concert. In the meantime, may the Holy
Spirit continue to work in and through your ministry.

It was
our privilege to have Marty Miller begin the season of Lent(2002) with his music
ministry. His style of music related well with all generations. His repertoire
included arrangements of old hymns to contemporary songs. He is gifted with the
ability to write words to music that challenge the heart. He has a personality
that makes you feel warm right from the beginning. His ministry crosses
denominations. I would not hesitate to recommend Marty to any congregation, and
pray God will use him for many years to come.

Marty's
concert was very musical and very inspiring.
We particularly enjoyed his melodic variations on several well-known
hymns.

Thank you
so much for joining us on two occasions now, to share the Word through your
music. God has blessed you with a voice and an ability to write music that makes
the message very clear, enjoyable and entertaining all at once. In both our
outside service and at our Coffee House, I appreciated your rapport with the
audience. Because of your ability to connect with them, they were responsive to
your testimony and your message in song. Thank you for being faithful to the
Word of God. We trust that God will continue to give you a passion for sharing
the Gospel through music and with the voice He has blessed you with. I would
highly recommend your ministry to any organization wishing to share the Word
through quality music. Hopefully, we too will have further opportunity to use
your ministry some day soon. God bless you as you continue to serve Him.
