Terry's heart is for people who are facing seemingly insurmountable struggles. He believes that Christian music is a powerful vehicle to touch lives with the message of hope and grace. His desire has always been to effectively communicate God's word through the ministry of "Witness." |
 
Barbara Smith came to an early acceptance of Christ while seeing the gospel lived out seamlessly and authentically by her preacher grandfather. She is honored to carry on his calling by singing for the Lord for over thirty years. In "Witness" programs, she reminds folks that life is temporary and fleeting. Therefore, it is important to embrace it with Christ being the center of our joy, but also to view it with the eyes of eternity. One verse that serves as a compass for her life is Philippians 3:14 (NIV): "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." |
 
Steve Housel was saved by God’s grace as a teen. Soon after that, he began singing solo and has continued to minister through gospel music since that time. He and his wife, Dory, live in Mount Bethel, PA. They have two grown children and two grandchildren.
Blessed to be a part of the Witness ministry for six years, he has seen firsthand how music can bridge the gap between the lost and the good news of Jesus Christ. His prayer is that God will use the message of the gospel in song to strengthen the weary, lift up the broken-hearted and cheer on the faithful as they walk with Him. The Scripture verse that has meant so much to Steve over the years and has kept him walking the straight and narrow path is Isaiah 40:31: “Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint.” |
