Testimonies

Portal Members:

Well, you're probably on your way back home by now...it's 9.32pm just after your performance.

I just wanted to say that I was totally moved by your music...your message came through...your honesty and selfless approach to sharing God....Oh, and some serious talent...(<----What a combination), it's a treat I'll long remember.

Thank you ever so much for sharing your time ...but I like what my cousin said, "Portal Rocks for God!".

Sincerely,

Rocky

Portal,

I wanted to thank you all again for sharing of your time and talents this weekend. Everyone who gathered together was truly blessed through your sharing and the presence of God. It was awesome to see such participation of the congregation when we joined together in song and worship. Thank you again for coming to be with us. We look forward to the next time we can be together.

Blessings, Peace and Love as you see to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Wow, did God ever move among us over the weekend. Thanks so much for your part in JesusQuest. It was an amazing time together. I cried as I waved goodbye to you. (And I don’t cry!)

We loved having you here, and hope to see you again.

Grace, peace, and love,

Jeff

Just had to send a quick Thank You soooooooooooo much ! Once again , Portal left me so uplifted ! Hope all arrived home safely and have enjoyed today ! There aren’t words to say how very much EACH one of you are appreciated ! And how I now have this very special place in my heart that will last a life time just for the Portal Gang ! And “Mammoth” will always have a special meaning too ! It will be the Winchester BurnOut ‘s signature word. I really hope we can see you in Keezletown @ Camp Overlook. It would take right much to keep me away ! Till than, give my love & appreciation to all ! God’s Blessings & Peace- Sue

I want to thank all of you for your gift of music that

you gave us last Sunday at Sand Hill UMC and on the

Relay For Life boat ride last Friday. (We raised over

$900 for RFL on the boat ride.)

You are a wonderful group of musicians and support

persons. It's obvious that your hearts and souls are

in this ministry. What an incredible performance and

testimony you offer!

You can believe that I will spread the word about your ministry!

Blessings and Peace,

Gary Nelson

Just wanted to drop you folks a line to thank you again for stopping by and performing for us. Not too long ago one of the gentlemen from your group stopped by and dropped off a box of cds for the men. They couldn't wait to get their hands on those albums. The cook plays your work a great deal in the kitchen, especially during mealtime. As people come through to get their trays they're also greeted by your tunes getting belted out. Seems to help keep things calm and under control though. Thanks again for coming and as always we'd love to have you return anytime you like; you all are a blessing.

Always,

Paul M. Young

Thank you so much for performing at our Youth Ministry Kick-Off Celebration last evening. Everyone had a great time. I have received so many positive compliments from both youth and adults. God has truly blessed each of you with musical talent. You have touched the hearts of many, including mine.

May God continue to bless you music ministry.

In Christ,

I wanted to let you know that our VBS had used Portal's I2J in our music rotation for the last three seasons....it is still the kid's favorite..the one we open and close with and the one they request the most..thought you could pass it along to the band so they know that somewhere up north, there are about 60 kids who know every word to it!

God bless,

Meg Deane

Hey Pastor, just wanting to shoot you a line thanking you for setting up that service Sunday. Portal was amazing, they played a bunch of my favorite songs and even put a great new twist and personal touch on them......
