From Rev. Carlos Raines, St.
James Cathedral, Fresno, CA:
Kelly, the hand of the
Lord was so abundantly present and manifest at the whole
event that I am sure your part was irreplaceable. Thank you
so much for the joy of the Lord, the confidence in worship,
and the faith that poured out from your heart to our hearts
throughout the weekend. Each contribution you made was a
refreshing visit to the oasis of God's Living Water and we
were refreshed and encouraged.
From Alicia Ranslow, Home
Messianic Fellowship, Lahaina, HI:
Kelly, you
truly have a gift that is ANOINTED by the Ruach.
You teach with such precision and so true to His
Word. Thank you! Your teaching is a breath of
fresh air in this world where much of what is
being taught in the name of Christ is really
contrary to HIS Infallible Truth.
I so
appreciate you and what you are doing to
strengthen my walk with Yeshua. Don't stop
doing what HE has called you to do.

From Women's Retreat Committee,
Trinity Presbyterian Church, Boise, ID:
The weekend we spent with Kelly
in McCall, Idaho was a mountaintop
experience. Her Spirit-led teaching and joyful interaction with
the Lord and with us led us to "unveil our faces" before God and
each
other. We were given a stone to lay down in our own chosen place in
the forest as a covenant with Him as He took our discouragements,
disappointments, depression, addictions and a myriad of other
things
that had diminished our spirits. We will always be grateful to
Kelly
for teaching us to worship with abandon, sing with robust joy, and
dance before Him as did David when the Ark of the Covenant was
returned to the City of David. (2 Samuel 6 and 7). We have agreed
that Kelly is a special messenger of God and the one we want to
lead
us in many more retreats.
From Mike Clayton, Joined to
HaShem Ministry:
It only took a few moments of
hearing Kelly the first time to know
she was not interested in entertaining people. Her desire is to
worship before her Creator and draw others into His Presence.
Kelly's
music truly touches the hearts of the people.
From Valerie Rice, Old Paths
Assembly, Lucerne Valley, CA:
Kelly is a beautiful woman,
inside as well as outside. She recognizes the gifts that YHVH
has given to her and puts them to use. The first time I saw
Kelly was a few years ago at a home fellowship meeting; she
played her keyboard and sang for the small group there with as
much energy and enthusiasm as she does when she is performing
for hundreds of people. She has become known for her smile and
encouraging words of wisdom. We had a conference at Old Paths
Assembly in Lucerne Valley, CA last May. Kelly was our praise
and worship leader for the event and was such a blessing to
everyone there. I pray that YHVH continues to use her for His
ministry.
From Rev. Jim Stone - Buena Vista, Colorado:
"It is obvious, not
only in the lyrics of your music but in your enfleshing of these
gospel message, that you come with a deep love for God's kingdom and
for all those who come to celebrate the nearness and the reality of
that kingdom with you."
From
Rev. John Nauman - Billings, Montana:
Psalm I commences with these
words,
l.
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or
stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers,
2.
But his delight is in the
law of the Lord,
and
on his law he meditates day and night.
3.
He is like a tree planted by
streams of water,
which
yields its fruit in season
and
whose leaf does not wither.
Many of us had the opportunity to
be with such a "blessed person" for several days.
Kelly Ferrari is a wonderfully blessed woman and we were wonderfully
blessed through her ministry. We read in Psalm 85:10 'Mercy and
truth are met together' and in Psalm 25:10 'all the paths of the
Lord are mercy and truth.' Kelly's life is a living witness to
the mercy and truth of God. Sadly, in the world, and in the
Church, we often want 'mercy' but resist God's 'truth,' with the
result that even mercy escapes us. But when we sit at the feet
of the Lord, in the midst of our need, thirsting to hear His word,
then we are truly refreshed in His mercy and truth and may stand in
the strength He supplies. Yes, we have been blessed by the
mercy and truth of God.
From
Rev. John Paul Wadlin, Ridgecrest,
California:
"Kelly
was here in Ridgecrest this past weekend, leading a
Worship Conference for us. We were blessed beyond our
very highest expectations by her anointed teaching, music, and
counseling. Oh, what a glorious weekend it was, praise be to
God! Kelly spent a lot of time with our music team (organists,
pianists, praise leaders, choir), praying with them and training them
how to worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth, and it has transformed
our music ministry! When I entered the sanctuary on Tuesday, I
found the entire team gathered in a prayer circle, pouring out their
hearts to the Lord! Gone were the divisive spirits of
competition, jealousy, contention, ownership-of-ministry, etc.; in
their place was the Spirit of the Living God.
Kelly
is biblically orthodox, theologically conservative, spiritually
anointed, Spirit-led, joyous, and enormously gifted in music and in
her proclamation of the Good News; she will be used by God powerfully
to transform your particular ministry, if you'll invite her."
From
the Rt. Rev. James Adams, Bishop of Western Kansas:
"If
you are looking for the truth of the Gospel given in love and praise,
then I would recommend my very good friend and spiritual companion,
Kelly Ferrari. I truly believe Kelly has been called to this mission
among us and she serves as a constant reminder (at least to me) to
stay the course of faith while listening to the Lord for guidance and
strength. She has also been brave enough to let me sing with her a
time or two, and we have taught together on several occasions. She has
been to the Diocese of Western Kansas on three occasions and we are
looking forward to the fourth."
From
Rev. Michael P. Milliken - Hutchinson,
Kansas:
"Kelly
Ferrari brought to my congregation an open and honest sharing of
herself and the Gospel. Her joy and her deep faith and
commitment to our Lord Jesus was an inspiration to all -- clergy and
laity alike. To worship with Kelly in song, in healing, in
prayer and in praise was a true blessing for each of us."
From
Rev. Russell A. Griffin - Sea Girt, New Jersey:
"It was an evening where both teenagers and
seniors could sit side by side and let the Lord touch them through
music. It was more than a concert, it was worship!
From Rev. Jim Paul - Ft. Collins,
Colorado:
"This year Kelly was the keynote
speaker at our Northern Colorado Renewal Conference. As she began to
speak of her faith journey it became clear that she has a true gift in
this area. The Lord is using her life powerfully. Her blend of
speaking, music, scripture, and ministry time was just wonderful. She
has a message from the Lord that she communicates with power,
conviction, integrity, and authenticity. Her obvious joy in life and
in what God is leading her to, convinces and convicts those who see
and hear. Our prayers go with Kelly as she
seeks to do the will of God and to bring many to the knowledge and
love of Jesus. "
From Pastor Mike Houle - Bridgeport, Michigan:
:"We had a wonderful day with
Kelly Ferrari. She is a gifted teacher and minister of music.
She brought us into intimacy with Jesus, teaching us that if we have
Jesus, we have all we need. We learned that worship is not about us,
it's about HIM! Our likes and dislikes do not matter; it's about
coming to worship our God from the depths of our hearts. Kelly helped
us to understand that our worship is rehearsal for what we will be
gladly doing for all eternity!"
From Lynn & Judy Alexander,
Co-Directors of the Annual Christian Renewal
Conference, Granby, Colorado:
"Kelly's ministry has, by word and example,
taught us about Jesus and called us to a deeper walk with Him. We
would encourage you to invite her to come and minister with you. She
stands firmly on the word of God and seeks His will in prayer. Her
music touches and ministers to the heart and allows the Lord's work to
be done."
From Rev. Lee Miller - Palmetto, Florida
"Thank you for your wonderful leadership at the
Daughters of the King gathering. Your God-given
gifts are being so wonderfully used, and the women left with a renewed
sense of God's calling in their own lives."
From Rev. Larry Day - Colorado Springs, Colorado:
"We have been so blessed by the
Lord to have had you offer the David's Tabernacle weekend for
us. The teaching was wonderful and prophetic and I know God began a
new thing among us. I praise Him for your ministry; may it continue
unimpeded!"
From Rev. John Howanstine - Port Republic, Maryland:
"It was a holy, grace-filled,
fun weekend of praise, worship, growth and fellowship. Thank you and
thank the Lord for bringing your gifts and ministry to us.
Each day I am hearing more and more how profoundly the Holy Spirit has
touched the lives and hearts of our people, and we are eager to
have you return! We have been greatly edified by your ministry. Our
door and our hearts are always open, so consider yourself having a
standing invitation."
From Rev. Robert Kem - Omaha, Nebraska:
"Kelly, you have inspired me
with your energy, music, and joy in living. God really does use you
to reach the unreachable for Christ through your enthusiasm for him
and the genuine love that comes from your heart. From the day I first
met you, you have been an inspiration to me as a Christian who walks
with the Lord in faith. You have demonstrated the courage to do this
and I admire that. It is called faith in action."
From Rev. Connie White - Salinas, California:
"The most important aspect
of this ministry is the deep devotion to the Lord which transmits
itself to the congregation. The Holy Spirit truly leads Kelly as she draws the people into greater joy and deeper
worship. She brought Life to the Sunday service
in a way that the people had not experienced before. When the
invitation was given for people to
come forward for healing prayer at the end of the service, the Holy
Spirit moved in such a powerful way that the entire congregation came
forward for prayer! We have not been the same since her
visit."
From Rev. Tere Wilson - Milwaukee, Wisconsin:
"The presence and ministry of the Holy Spirit
was palpable and person
after person was led to seek
prayer after the worship service (there is no way this was a
concert!). That opening for the Spirit is going to be resonating from
now until Jesus comes to take us home and we will reap the benefits.
Thank you, you have
helped the Lord to
give us our new name. We will move into what that means in the days to
come. "
From the Rt. Rev. James E. Krotz, Bishop of Nebraska:
"Thanks for the
wonderful ministry of music you
provided at our Diocesan Council last weekend. Your music brought such
a wonderful spirit of joy and praise to our community! You helped us
all remember and rejoice in our oneness in Christ - a precious gift
whenever there is parliamentary work to be done. May God continue to
bless your ministry of music as you bless those who
hear it."
From Rev. Cliff Gardner - San Angelo, Texas:
"We enjoyed your workshop with our contemporary
musicians. We will be happy to recommend your ministry to any church
seeking to expand its base for spiritual growth in music and
evangelism."
From Pastor Ray Brown - Pagosa Springs, Colorado:
"Thank you for your worshipful presentation of
the Gospel through music. I found that all of our people found a
style of music that ministered to them. Your help with the Sunday
morning worship was a joy! It is always appreciated when the music is
blended with the message."
