A note from Graham Kendrick...
"Greetings
from the UK.
It's an honour to be featured on Ralph Merrifield's website.
Ralph and
I have enjoyed several chats on the telephone
about worship and worship songs....
He's a great enthusiast and very keen to serve all
those
involved
in facilitating the worship of the churches.
I met him over
in Boston...
whilst ministering at the Vision New England
Conference and was intrigued to hear all about his vision for
New Hope Music.
This
website has become a popular stopping off place
for those seeking resources for
worship leaders and
church music groups, as well as individuals
seeking
encouragement on their own spiritual journeys.
Enjoy!"
"I
love this site!
My church worship team is in need of new material that
appeals to all generations... the music here is perfect."
(Laura, from Arkansas)
