Strong vocals; solid, to the point lyrics; a sound that is truly unique -- these are the trademarks of Messenger. Messenger began in Howell Michigan in early 1994, formed as a light Christian rock band. With members bringing classical, country, alternative and rock backgrounds, they soon came up with a unique style and sound.
It has been the goal and desire of Messenger since its conception to present the gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that is entertaining, but more importantly, the truth of who God is and what He is capable of doing in a life that is yielded to Him. For more than a decade now, Messenger has ministered through music. Through personal performance, CD sales and radio airplay, this message spans the globe. This group truly strives to live out the great commission.to go and make Jesus known, to everyone!
The choice of a key verse for the group came not because the passage contained the name of the band, but because it supported the direction of the ministry, and later became the foundation for its mission and ministry statement. I Thessalonians 2:4 says, "For we speak as messengers from God, sent by Him to tell the truth; We change His message not one bit to suit the taste of those who hear it, for we serve God alone who examines our hearts' deepest thoughts."
Although messengers of the gospel, and its style of delivery, sometimes change, the gospel itself never changes. This group is determined that the message they bring will never change. The current members of Messenger have again raised the bar on their ministry. Focused ..ing people see and believe that 'Christian music' has a higher purpose and that its goal is not mediocrity, but excellence. This requires more from the group, but this is not a burden but an ingrained desire of each member. Messenger is committed to remaining obedient to the call of Christ, and as He has promised, He is showing His faithfulness and blessing them abundantly.
Members of MESSENGER have had the privilege of sharing the stage with several well-known artists, including Petra, Switchfoot, 4HIM, KJ-52 and Nikki Leonti. Not only has MESSENGER ministered with major label artists, but some great indie artists such as Instereo, and a 2007 tour stop with 7th Time Down and Broken Yoke at the Cross Roads Festival last summer. MESSENGER also finished 3rd in the 2006 Kingdom Bound International Talent search, which adds to their existing reputation as a top-notch group of musicians.
" Whenever you are in your walk with God whether you’re young, old, newly saved or a long time Christian, God is always in the process of pruning you so you can bear more Fruit. In the Book of John 15:1-2 say’s “I am the vine, and My father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away, and every branch that bears fruit He Prunes, that it may bear more fruit.”No matter how long you’ve been a Christian , God wants your faith to grow strong and your life to increase in every area of your life.
" Sometimes we go through life wishing we could pursue a dream, but its just a wish, as desire. We don’t act on it. In the Book of John 10:10 say’s “ The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may it more abundantly.” His purpose was to give us life in all its fullness. A big part of abundant life is seeking after the call that God had for us and then pursing it.
God has created each of us for a purpose, and we can find that purpose when we begin the process of yielding to Him and ask “Lord what do You have for me to do?” Peace and Love, Melissa.
O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain America! America! God shed your grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea. O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities glean Undimmed by human tears America! America! God shed your grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.

If one day you feel like crying, call me. I don't promise that I will make you laugh, but I can cry with you. If one day you want to run away, don't be afraid to call me. I don't promise to ask you to stop, but I can run with you. If one day you don't want to listen to anyone, call me. I promise to be there for you but also promise to remain quiet. But one day if you call and there is no answer, come fast to see me. Perhaps I need you. Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk or how close you are and send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend. Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like because the one you like will leave you for the one they love. Did you know...
