“I can't say enough what a vivid impact I believe your visit had on our Church. You brought us alive in worship and confirmed for many what we need to pursue when we gather together to offer praise to the One God. I know you fired up our worship team! You truly are that link we need as a denomination to tie us together as one big family and you link us to our brothers in other denominations.”
“The worship service you shared with us at CrossWinds Church was wonderful. If I had to pick a word to describe what we all experienced together on May 4th, the word would be 'joyful.' Thanks for being part of our community and pointing us to the joy that the Father, Son and Spirit have with each other. That joy certainly overflowed into our worship service.”
“We were privileged to have Ross Jutsum of “State of the Heart Ministries” in our church, Evangel Assembly, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. His sensitivity and gentle spirit, combined with the scripture songs that he composed and sang were well-received by all in our church. Ross led us in worship and all comments received were positive about his ministry amongst us! I am delighted to recommend him to you!”
“Our church family worshiped and fully enjoyed our time with Dr. Ross Jutsum. His presentation was inclusive of all present. His ministry unto the Lord also ministered to the people. There was honor, praise and joy in the content. We laughed, sang, learned and lifted up the name of Jesus. There was both contemporary and traditional music for all tastes. The Gospel was prevalent throughout the service. We were glad to have united with another church to hear this servant of the Lord! We went to our homes sensing we had been with the Lord and with His people.”
“We were wonderfully blessed to have Ross with our church and school, leading our worship services and a special concert. The Spirit of God was moving in a powerful way, as the name of Jesus was lifted high through worship and praise. All ages, from young children to seniors, were touched by God’s presence in the songs and testimonies.”
“Not everyone with as much musical talent as Dr. Ross Jutsum, has the ability to connect with people like he does. From the first word to the last note, we resonated with him and he with us. His presence in our church engaged children, youth, and adults in a time of worship that has us looking forward to the time he returns. Thank you, Ross, for being sensitive to the Spirit and sharing your gift with us.”
“Dr. Ross Jutsum led worship and gave a Christ-centered message at our church on March 11-12, 2006. I was a bit nervous about allowing someone I really didn’t know much about take over the worship service. Let me tell you that Ross led our congregation in a very vibrant and worshipful experience at all 4 services and then packed the sanctuary for a 3 P.M. afternoon praise and worship celebration. This is highly unusual for our congregation to get people to come back to church for anything after already attending church for the day. Ross was sensitive to the age ranges of our worshippers and was extremely pleasant to work with. The afternoon attendance was indicative in itself that Ross and his testimonies and message were right on target.”
“I appreciate the way that Ross' music and message were able to reach and inspire five generations of Disciples' worshipers; he intentionally included the children, as well as without being forceful or showy.”
“Ross did so much more than provide music; he was God's tool to guide us in worship. Every person present was blessed, from the oldest to the youngest. His message in song certainly bears the evidence of the Holy Spirit as Ross surrendered his talents to the Lord. I would recommend any church or pastor to share in Dr. Jutsum's ministry whole-heartedly.”
“Your gift of music, humble spirit, and obvious love for the Lord were a blessing. We gave you a workout with three services, but you handled it beautifully. You were able to bridge the contemporary with the traditional and both groups enjoyed the worship.”
“What a wonderful concert of praise – heart-warming, inspirational, God-honoring worship that stirred the soul and raised the spirits of every person in attendance. ”
“When we met Ross Jutsum, of State of the Heart Ministries, we were immediately impressed with his spirit. We felt a heart-warming love and appreciation to God. He touches all ages with his testimony, and I believe also touches the heart of God by the genuine love for his Savior.”
“I wanted to take a moment to thank you so very much for coming to Milwaukee. It was great to see my congregation clap their hands -- they don't do that often. I will admit that I am a twenty-something whom has fallen in love with much of your music and I can truly say God has spoken to me many times in the past months of my life, through your music. The desire to become more of what God wants me to be, learning to fully submit to God will for my life -- it is something which is very powerful when you come to see some of what He works out for our lives. I praise God for giving you this gift. God bless you in your travels and in doing His ministry.”
“Your guidance of our worship service allowed all of us to truly drop our worldly baggage at the door and focus on Jesus. ”
