Steve Angrisano of Oregon Catholic Press, writes:

"I can say with certainty that I embarked on the journey of my ministry 12 years ago in large part because of Jerry Goebel.  Experiencing his ministry opened my eyes and helped me to let the love of God flood my heart.

Jerry's passion for living the faith, his giftedness as a musician and the depth of his love for the people of God cannot help but speak to all of us. Jerry does not just talk about living the gospel, he quietly but clearly lives it every day. His humor, musical gift and wisdom are captivating to an audience of any age.  His commitment to serving those who are most in need of God's mercy and peace have made Him an invaluable witness to all of us of God's love and faithfulness.

Jerry is a consummate performer, a gentle and loving spirit, and a messenger to our generation of  the healing power of God...and that is a message our world, young and old, desperately needs to hear."

When people ask me about Jerry my response is, "Jerry is who I want to be when I grow up."  Jerry has committed every part of his life, not just his work, to the Gospel message.  In everything he does he is a witness to the life and love of Jesus Christ.

I have known Jerry for over 20 years.  I continually am amazed at his ability  to reach so many different people. His life is dedicated to Jesus Christ and to communicated this relationship and our Lords love to others. 

His enthusiasm is contagious.  It doesn't matter to him if he is with one person or thousands, he makes each person feel like they are the most important person on this spinning planet.

I have seen teens take real interest in their own lives and their faith after being in the presence of Jerry.

I am so proud to call him my friend.

Laurie Exler: "I see Him in everything"

Hello Jerry,

I am on the team for a retreat this weekend and was working on my talk.  It is on the Christian Life.  In it I am to give a brief history of my life.  As I was recalling my senior year in high school, when I was challenging my faith, I remembered you and your music.  You had such a profound influence on my life.  I listened to your Candleflame cassette until it was worn out.  It changed my life.  I did meet you (although I am sure that you don't remember) at the National Youth Convention in Pittsburgh, PA 1987.

Your music touched me and was such a message from God to me.  I have never again doubted that God exists and works daily in my life.  I see Him in everything. 

I want to thank you, Jerry, for being such an instrument for God.  You have been open to Him and it shows.   

God Bless,
Laurie Exler

Review on Jerry Goebel – July 2002

"If you want someone who will keep your group’s attention, Jerry is the person.  His sharing of his life work to illustrate the leadership principles he is teaching keeps them on the edge of their seats.  He lives what he teaches and you can’t get more “real” than that.  His love for fellow man shows through in his gentleness and sincerity.  Our group loved him and we would have loved to hear more of the musician in him also."

"Thank you again for your presentation to my class at the Cooperative School of Christian Mission.  It made an enormous impact on the members of the class.  You are walking-the-talk in a way that inspires many, including that group of adult learners."
