Hi everyone! Christmas is coming up and I've got a GREAT DEAL for you! Order two or more CDs (below) and I will also send you one of my own harmonicas that I've performed with or recorded with, autographed by me for FREE!
Book Darrell Mansfield for concerts, studio recording, personal appearances, private engagements, harmonica and vocal work.
Darrell's music and testimony has touched audiences for over 30 years. His story of recovery and victory over some of life's greatest challenges is an inspiration and testimony to us all.
As most of you know over the years my music and ministry has been supported by donations from my loyal friends and products sales of CD's and apparel. I am truly grateful to all of you for your support all of these years.
I have some great opportunites this year to go back to the orphanages in Eastern Europe and also to do prison ministry. And as you know these causes need sponsorship since the organizations don't have the funding themselves. I'm asking you to pray and consider helping to support these important outreaches this year.
Some NEWS also, I'm in the process of putting together a new studio HARD ROCK album to reach a whole new generation of fans that grew up in the 80's listening to the hair bands and who miss that style of rock. I've always wanted to do another album like Revelation. That was a one-time deal for Eric and me, and we've gotten so many requests to re-release that album, WHICH WE WILL DO. In the meantime we're writing new songs for a hard rock album to record and release for the summer.
All this to say, I'm asking for your prayers and support for the great ministry opportunities coming up this year. If you would like to give financial support, you can donate online with Paypal or write a check payable to:
Thank you all for your love and support all of these years. I couldn't have done it without you.
Sincerely,
Darrell Mansfield
ARTICLE: Depression: A Wake up Call to the Church
In an extraordinary interview, Darrell issued a message to Christians in which he said, "Don't be ashamed if you have a mental illness".
"You are not a second rate soldier for Christ. It's an illness, a disease, just like diabetes, and it needs to be treated. People need to know that when they get to a state of depression like that, there is help. I didn't know that at the time".
"Your illness is not a lack of faith or spirituality or commitment. It's a chemical, medical problem and I think that society and the church especially has their head buried in the sand".
"When I was at Atascadero State Hospital, there were too many pastors who came to see patients who told them that they were depressed because they were not praying or trusting God enough. That is just total ignorance. When you are chemically imbalanced, you need to get medication and therapy to get back on track. We know all about the physical and spiritual things, but we don't seem to know much about the mental things".
"Now, when I minister, people come up and hug me in tears who say, 'Thank you for making me feel that I am not a second-rate citizen of heaven because I suffer from mental problems. You've encouraged me'". People have come up to me and said that they are suicidal at that moment and that they need prayer. I'll pray with them and then I'll tell them to go and see a doctor..."
Shalom, brother in Messiah : ). Vonny says that me and Samson look inbred. Uh,...ummm(SLURP!!! Wipes drool!),...why, whatever does she mean?
Shalom be to you during the upcoming shabbat and weekend. May the glorious Light of Yahweh bathe you in its wonderous glow and saturate your entire being.
Psalm 97 1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. 8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. 9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
