Dear Fellow Ministers

              It is my privilege to highly recommend Mercy Road Quartet to you.  They were our special guests at the 80th

Anniversary of First Baptist Church in Sparta TN.  We were absolutely overjoyed to have them, and you will be too. 

              First, they are an excellent Southern Gospel quartet.  Their vocal harmony is great, and music is wonderful. 

They had our people toe tapping, hand clapping, and loving every minute of it.  This was my first time to hear Mercy Road

in person, and they exceeded all my hopes for the evening.

              Secondly, they are ministry focused.  I was so impressed as they seamless moved from the music to the message

of Jesus.  In so many ways, they continually turned the focus to Jesus. 

              Thirdly, they are professional.  We were hosting a fish fry prior to the concert and as such had many of our hand

busy with food preparation.  These gentlemen moved their sound equipment into our sanctuary, set up and were ready to

go in short order and without our help.  In addition to that, they were so conscientious and respectful of the sanctuary and

our building.

              Finally, I found them to be authentic and wonderful.  I enjoyed getting to know these men, and to talk with them

before and after the singing.  I have met entertainers, who become someone different when they stepped in front of a

microphone.  The same men, who set up and tore down their equipment, were the same ones who lead us in worship.

              If you are looking for a group to be a part of a revival, a special event, or to host a night of Gospel music, then you

want to contact Mercy Road.  You will have a great night of music, you will be pleased, and your people will be blessed.
