MISSION STATEMENT OF JOHN SCHLITT
1. To encourage the Christian to grasp the reality that we are on the winning team. Jesus Christ is alive and through Him we are to be victorious in His perfect plan for us - a plan that was designed for us from the beginning of time (Rom. 8:29)
2. To awaken the unsaved out of their slumber of believing the lies the enemy has used to keep them from the truth - the truth that they are made in the image of God and are designed for a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.
I am a blessed man. I have been saved by a God of second chances. He saved me from suicide and gave me a second chance at life. He protected my family and gave me a second chance at being a husband and father. And, finally, he gave me a second chance in music. He took me from a secular system that was destroying me through drug and alcohol abuse and put me in a Christian band that gave me the opportunity to see God work all over the world.
In the time I have been a Christian, God has continued to put two simple yet life changing messages on my heart - Jesus Christ is alive and wants to come into our hearts to give us eternal life. And, secondly, Jesus Christ has given us everything we need to not just survive but to be victorious!
The Word says that there is a war going on for each one of us - a war in the heavenlies. I see this war taking form in the constant attempts to distort and discredit the character and the ways of God.
In closing, I believe as Christians it is our calling and duty to battle these lies with truth. At every opportunity we need to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ with whatever tool we are given. In my life, it is through the music I sing and sharing my testimony and experiences.
John Schlitt began singing when he was just five years old, performing the leads in recitals and plays in his school. It soon became clear that a career in music was in John’s future. He finished college with a degree in civil engineering and promptly set about making a name for himself in the world of rock ‘n roll. His unique, fiery tenor and unbridled passion for singing landed him a gig fronting the group Head East.
In 1980 he was let go by the band. The reason: John had an
out-of-control drug and alcohol addiction.
Through the witness of his wife, Dorla, and their pastor, John accepted Christ as Savior and friend. He resolved to live for God and even forsake music, if that was what God ordered. He ended up looking for practical work to support his family, starting from scratch. But God wasn’t done with him musically. In fact, it turned out that John’s days in Head East were a precursor to something greater. Five years after firmly putting music behind him, God called John back to fronting the Christian rock band Petra.
John Schlitt officially joined Petra in 1986, bringing with him his amazing vocal range and abilities that made him a legend with Head East. Except this time, his mind was no longer blown on drugs and alcohol – he was clean, focused, and armed with a powerful message: God made us to be winners - Jesus Christ is alive and through Him we are to be victorious in His perfect plan for us.
This perfect plan continues on for John, releasing "Vertical Expressions" in 2007 with Bob Hartman as "II Guys from Petra," and also a third solo release, "The Grafting," in 2008.

"Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful." Colossians 3:12-15 (NLT)
