I’m writing to share with you my highest recommendations for the ministry of the Lord family. The Lord family has ministered in our district on a number of occasions and has shown the highest levels of integrity and anointed ministry. They come with humble hearts and a servant’s attitude always. They have ministered to both small and large groups, in church services and camp meetings. They give out of their hearts and their spirits the very core of God’s love as they minister to others. They are both excellent in spirit and in the quality of their ministry. Every member of their family engages in ministry, and they give themselves fully to the task of touching every life. I highly recommend them.

Dear friends. We were so glad that you came back down and checked out the ministry. I understand that you sang and blessed everyone who was there that day. Sorry I missed it. I remember your first visit a year or so ago. May GOD continue to keep you close and faithful for HIM, is our prayer. We pray GOD keeps you safe always. You're the LORD's family. I hope and pray the children will continue to choose CHRIST!

I just wanted to extend my thanks to you for inviting the Lord family here this morning. I cannot begin to express how deeply it touched me to see their beautiful family. I am originally from the New England area (Massachusetts to be exact) and that is an area of the country that is so often spiritually lifeless. I came to know the Lord after leaving there and sometimes now when I return it feels so cold (and it isn't because of the temperature). It was beautiful, beyond words, to see a family that so obviously loves the Lord. I have two little girls of my own (4 and 6) and I could imagine my little girls, at different stages of their life, when I looked into each of those girls faces. I also have a brother who is the youngest of 4 and the only boy, so I felt empathy for that young 15 year old boy being surrounded by so many women (I'm teasing). Seriously though, it brought tears to my eyes and encouragement to me as a parent to see this family this morning. Please pass along to them what an amazing blessing it was to have them here today.

My new friends. What an honor it was to have you with us and worship the KING together in the beauty of HIS holiness. May the LORD continue to establish the work of your hands and anoint you as a tem in these last days.

On behalf of Oxford Hills Christian Academy, I would like to thank you for coming and sharing your ministry with our students during our Chapel services. The students and teachers were blessed by your ministry. May the LORD bless you richly as you continue to be used by HIM.

The Lord family came to us highly recommended, but the ministry we experienced when they were with us far outshone anything we had heard. They ministered to all ages in a variety of forms. I do not hesitate to urge you to contact the Lord family for ministry in your church. If you would like a more detailed description of what this great family did for our church, please contact me at 207-469-2309

Dear Lord Family, Thank you for coming our way to minister to our staff! I trust the rest of your trip was uneventful, given the clutch problems you were having. I trust the materials we left with you were a blessing to your family. Please know that we appreciate your partnership with us in 'creation evangelism.'

This year's Powette was a success as 130 girls and leaders came together for a weekend of spiritual refreshing. The Lord Family of eight ministered in music and the presence of God in our worship services was fantastic! June 3, 2003 ~ Beth Wilcox, District Missionettes Coordinator, NNEDAG
We were privileged to host the Lord Family at FAMFest 2003 on the Kids Stage, where they gave a superb performance and we know that many people were blessed and touched. They presented a good mix of humor and talent as their lovely children captured the full attention of the audience. They presented a clear message throughout, which was especially impressive and GOD was at work.

Our church thoroughly enjoyed Kerry Lord and his precious family. They kicked off our winter Revival with inspirational music, which sprang from their very dedicated and loving hearts. We jumped at the opportunity to have them again as they traveled back through our area. My biggest regret is that we didn't set aside an entire service for them. I highly recommend them.

Recently, the Lord Family ministered to hundreds of homeschoolers in Maine at our annual homeschool convention. Their songs of praise brought smiles and joy to the faces of the many parents who came to the convention be refreshed, renewed and strengthened in spirit. What a blessing!

I enjoyed the Lord Family very much. I felt that they were sensitive to flow with whatever direction the Spirit of GOD led in. The fact that the whole family ministered was precious.
April 9, 2003 ~ Pastor Gary Muniz – North Kingston Assembly of GOD, North Kingston, Rhode Island
The Lord family have been a refreshing ministry to us here at the Potter's House Church of GOD. They have shared and ministered from their heart. It is encouraging to see a family ministering together, willing to step out in faith to reach out to others. A family ministry that ministers to families. You will find yourself stirred, encouraged, and challenged as you observe and receive what the Lord has placed within this family. Thier life is an example of worship to the King of kings.

It was a wonderful service with GOD touching and speaking to the hearts of all who were there. They are a very kind and humble family who heard of the LORD. They don’t try to take over your church. They have a very sweet spirit about them.

Just a few words to try and express just what a blessing the Lord Family was to the Key West Church of God in Key West, Florida. Each one of the family members has been blessed not only with talent but a genuine experience with the Lord Jesus Christ. It showed in their singing and ministering. We are looking forward to the Lord Family being with us next year. I highly recommend their ministry to any church.
March 16, 2003 ~ Pastor Raymond L. Shockley - Key West Church of God, Key West, Florida
I am happy to recommend the Lord Family to you for ministry. This delightful family impacted our church in many ways with their singing and testimonies. GOD’s anointing on their music, coupled with their sweet spirit and the openness with which they shared GOD’s provisions for their needs greatly enlarged the faith of our people. We loved the way each member of the family participated in the service. We plan to have them back again for future ministry at our church.

The Lord Family ministered to people of all ages and they reflect the love of the LORD in their ministry. Their faith in GOD dominates all they do.
January 5th, 2003 ~ Pastor Peter Main - Crystal Wesleyan Church, Island Falls, Maine
I am privileged to recommend Kerry, Mary Ann Lord and family in ministry. We had them minister at our Harvest Festival. They did a very good job and the anointing of the Holy Spirit was evident. There were about 18 who came forward for either salvation or rededication. I do not hesitate to recommend them in ministry.
December 18, 2002 ~ Pastor J. Cliff Gall - Searsport Full Gospel Church, Searsport, Maine
The Lord Family's ministry represents the best of what the Body of Christ is: a God-honoring and unified family that blend their individual tastes, talents and gifts to effectively touch hearts and lives for Jesus Christ. We were blessed by the anointing of the Lord Family and hope to support them on a regular basis.

The Lord Family has ministered a number of times at Brewer Community Church. Their ministry has always proven their obedience to the Holy Spirit as well as their willingness to be a blessing to the congregation. Their newly declared walk of faith in allowing God to provide for the needs of their family also shows their willingness to allow Him to lead their lives in a growing ministry of love. I would highly recommend the Lord Family, as competent and dedicated ministers who I know will be a blessing to your congregation.
November 26, 2002 ~ Rev. Dale H. Woike - Associate pastor, Brewer Community Church, Brewer, Maine
For nearly three years the Lord family has ministered to our church regularly. We quickly gave them an "open-door policy", that is, they were wanted in our church every chance that they could come. And every time they came, they ministered in music, word, and fellowship. Their gentle spirit and authentic eagerness to reach people created change in our congregation every time they visited.
November 21, 2002 ~ Pastor Alan Algee - Brewer Community Church, Brewer, Maine
I have known the Lord Family for some years now both in a personal and professional setting. They are an amazing and sincere family that is dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ in every aspect of their lives. They are constantly seeking to put Him first and to seek His will and direction for their lives. We have had the pleasure of having their talents expressed in our worship services, special events, and concerts given in a humble way that always gives glory to The Lord. I heartily give my full endorsement to them as a family and to their ministry. You will be blessed by them, to the glory of God Almighty.
November 12, 2002 ~ Pastor Paul Comeau - First Baptist Church, Blue Hill, Maine
The Lord Family has been immeasurable blessing to this church over the past thirteen years. We trace a significant amount of church growth to their influence. They started and directed our children's church, led worship, led kid's choirs, assisted in community outreaches, and have done excellent ministry countless times "instant in season" with willing hearts to help. They have composed original music that is a great blessing to our fellowship. They have been a great support to this pastor. For instance, they initiated a desperately needed sabbatical. They have led their children in a genuine faith in Christ. They are a family ministry, not simply a singing group. I highly recommend them to you. We deeply love and appreciate this family.
