Just wanted to let you know my friends, my husband and I enjoyed the concert on February 18th. My husband and I have gone to the last three Kingdom Heirs Concerts you have had in the Charleston, WV are and each year they are better and better. I was pleased to hear you are planning to have them back next year.

We appreciate all that you are doing to bring Southern Gospel Music to Sumter. We really enjoyed the groups you had at Patriot's Hall Friday night. Please pass on to each group how much their coming to Sumter meant to us and we hope to see them again soon. You could tell that they meant what they sang and played. It is very encouraging to see young people wanting and getting into Southern Gospel Music. Please keep up the good work and again THANKS! May God bless and watch over you.

Love in Christ

Dear Bro. Paul,


I just read an email about your successful concert recently. God bless you! I just had to say something to you from my heart. I've been in Southern Gospel Music for 26 years. I've had the opportunity to sing on many major events for many of the top promoters. I love them all, but I must tell you...I am touched by your heart for God! When I read the statement you made about never having a group that didn't live what they sang...WOW. Thank you! And what moved me to tears was when you said that you would never close a concert without praying for anyone in need, Again...THANK YOU! I love this industry. I believe in it with all of my heart. But I must say, far too many concerts end without an opportunity being given to the crowd for salvation or help through prayer.
I just had to tell you, that you touched my heart! I pray that every concert you have will be a sell out, and that God's best will be yours. Thank you my friend for having a heart after God!

My best to you,

Hey
It's Britani Black, the girl you talked to last night with my mom and dad, Tim. The concert was great! Thank-you for introducing me to Gerald Wolfe! We'll send you pictures! God Bless!
Britani Black

Well what can I say. You did it again and we enjoyed it so much. Thank you for introducing Brit to Gerald Wolfe. Besides seeing you and Steve that was a special treat for her. She has already mailed him. I talked to Steve yesterday and they were in the snow in Michigan. I hope your trip home was safe. I should have the pictures ready to mail by Tuesday morning. Britani is excited also that you are going to use our pictures. If there is one you would like to have printed in a larger format let me know and I will have it done and mail it. Thank you again for such a great show. I thank god I have been able to become friends with you and Steve. You have changed my life so much. I don't have to tell you what it has done to Brit. I believe you should know that by the smile you bring to her face. She loves you guys dearly. Thank you so much!!!!.......Your Friend Tim

I forgot to tell you how much we enjoyed New Ground also. I was talking to them at the tape table and I told them if they were able to come back to please do so. They were really great I loved the song Beneath The Fountain. Talk to you later.........Tim

Paul and Donna,

Thanks for a great evening at Sumter on Friday night. We enjoyed it. The "goodies" you provided for us were delicious. Thank you so much for your labor of love.
I'm sure Ed will work on next years date. Just let them know.
We love you

Hello,
I am Britani Black, Tim Black's daughter. We met at the recent concert in Charleston, WV. There at the end my dad and were talking to you and Jeff Steele. You told me to email you. I want to say thank you for the wonderful concert. I went to the one in Feb. where you had the Kingdom Heirs, and I went to the concert last Sat. where you had Greater Vision. I have had a wonderful time at both. They were worth while. Who did you say were going to be with The Kingdom Heirs in Charleston, WV this Feb.? Thank you again!
Love,
Britani Black

Paul--
I'm late in writing this, but I just want to tell you how much we enjoyed and were blessed by the concert in Charleston in February. We still are talking about the concert. We had never heard the Greenes in concert and were delighted and thoroughly blessed by their music and testimonies.
We had only heard the Kingdom Heirs at Dollywood, and it was so good to hear their testimonies and enjoy their singing for a longer period of time than we do at Dollywood. I really felt after leaving the concert that they are truly Christian men who want to serve the Lord through their singing.
I grew up in a home where our vacations were spent traveling to "all night sings" around West Virginia and Ohio. There were not enough of these to suit me. We faithfully followed the Sunshine Boys all over WV. They held the all night sings in Clarksburg, WV and in East Liverpool, Ohio. My dad served a church in Morgantown, so over the years until his death in 1980 groups would come to his church and sing for a freewill offering when they were traveling near the area and had a free night. After my dad's death I was busy raising my family and until the Gaithers began their homecoming tapes, I didn't hear much southern gospel (except for my records).
Now our children are grown, and we have 10 grandchildren. My husband and I have been traveling to see southern gospel wherever we can. We were so thankful to read about the Kingdom Heirs and Greenes being in Charleston, and to hear that you hold several concerts a year there.
We have been telling our friends about the April 5th concert. So far we have another couple to come with us, but we are still talking to others. I hope the concert fills the auditorium. It is my prayer that southern gospel will come up farther north and that people will see the real blessing they have been missing.
Thanks again for all you are doing.

I just finally got around to looking and finding your website. I just wanted to thank you for bringing the Kingdom heirs close so home so I could attend the show. I have become a huge fan and e-mail Steve quite often. When I walked up to him at the show and said something to him he knew who I was from the e-mails. I told Steve this story the next night after the show and I thought you would enjoy it also. My daughter is 13 years old. She is also a huge fan. She was with me at the show and was able to get autographs and I took pictures of her with all the members of the the group. Of course her favorite is Dennis. We had such a great time not only listening to such great gospel music but, also talking to all the singers. This is what I would really like to share with you though. As you talked about in the newsletter the snow really came down. When I was leaving Steve came over and asked how far I had to drive? I live In Huntington and told him normally it was an hour drive. That night it was almost 2 and a 1/2 Miles. I am driving home my daughter and I were listening to the new CD. I looked over at her and there she sat, empty CD case, some papers, her autographs and Paul, she had this huge smile on her face. It brings tears to my eyes just typing this. I thought when I saw that smile how lucky I am that the Lord has blessed my wife and I with this young lady. So Thank you again for what you do and I look forward to seeing you again. God Bless You and your Family......Tim Black Huntington WV.

Dear Paul: I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful concert Friday night! We had the greatest time. The Fairfield Marriott has a breakfast bar with almost everything except meat and potatoes. I was just going to get a cup of coffee to go and ended up eating a waffle and Alice ate sausage gravy with biscuits. This is a really nice
thing to offer folks who attend your concerts.

I am so thankful to meet Donna. What a partner you have. She is sweet and such a beautiful lady.

I am looking forward to the April concert in Charleston and will see you there.

Thanks again for such a wonderful evening

Bro Paul,
My wife and I truly enjoyed the concert last night in Sumter. We were blessed and encouraged by the music and message that was presented. Thank you for bringing quality Christian music to our area. I will gather a group for the next concert in Sumter. May God continue to bless you!

Hello Paul,
I had every thing planned to drive down from Huntington for the show until I looked at my schedule. I have an inventory to do on the 22nd.I believe the drive home and then having to work all night may be a little much for me. I really wanted to drive down. My daughter said ( jokingly )she was mad at me because I was gonna go without the Kingdom Heirs biggest fan. She would have had to miss a day of school and she does not like to miss. As I told Steve in an e-mail I am lucky she doesn't want to miss. I told her you are going to read the e-mail I sent you and it tickled her that you are doing it. I told her we will for sure make to the Charleston show on the 5th of April. We will be sure to introduce ourselves to you. We talked briefly at the last show but I know you talked to a lot of people to remember. Take care and again thank you for what you do and we will be in Charleston on the 5th. Your friends ......Tim Black and daughter Britani Black. Hopefully my wife will be able to go this time. Take care.......

Dear Paul,

We were looking in the Singing News and noticed that Signature Sound and Dove Brothers sing that was scheduled for Sumter, S. C. was moved to Murrels Inlet. We were looking forward to this singing at Sumter and were just wondering why it had been changed. We hope you will continue to have singings in Sumter as this is about the only place close to us that has Southern gospel music. We were just curious.

Thanks,
Wanda and Randy Humphrey

Hey Paul, it's good to hear you are getting along okay considering your knee. I have been meaning to write to ask how you were doing and to see if you had surgery. I know several people who have knee problems and I know how painful it can be. Britani has asked me several times if I knew how you were. Speaking of her not long after the Greater Vision concert I took her to talk to my cousin who pastors our church. I felt he would explain to her about being saved better than could. When I tried she said it sounded to easy. He really explained to her way better than I ever could have. After about an hour or so praise the lord the was saved. I think she thought there was going to be balloons fall from the sky. One of the first things she asked was if I was going to e-mail Steve French to tell him, I just said "what do you think". She will be excited to see you have updated the web site. She and I are looking forward to the Kingdom Heir and Greater Vision concert in Charleston. You take care and we pray for your quick recovery and look forward to seeing you soon. Thank you for what you do and God Bless You!! Talk to you soon, Your friend,
Tim Black..........

Hello Paul, the web sight is great!
I wanted to tell you what a good thing you are doing for are community and West Virginia, but most of all for our Lord and Savior. We all are so blessed in life and most do not give praise where we are to give praise( to are lord ) but you give him everything first. That is a blessing within itself. I seen your web in the news paper and wanted to take a look. There are a lot of great groups on your sight. I myself have a wonderful group called Southern Grace and we also have been blessed by our lord and Savior in so many ways. Doors have opened for us in so many places. We have been at the SC State Fair, traveled to Cleveland Tenn., we have had singings with Brian Free & Assurance, Holy City, His Song, Adoration, Red White Family And many more. Are God is so good all the time! If ever you need another group even to just open for someone please keep Southern Grace in mind.
We already are blessed, but anytime we can spread our Lords word in song to anyone. We will walk into those doors with are Lord leading are way to hearts and tell of his glory. We (Southern Grace) will keep you, your wonderful family and ministry in are prayers. Again Thank You for your work for our Lord and Savior in Sumter and all our communities around.

May God keep you in his arms of love,
Minnie Sue Paul Ardis
Southern Grace
