“We were pleased to have The Sword and The Spirit perform at a Family Life Service's fundraising event held in August of 2000. The Audience consisted of foster families and children as well as members of the public attending the event. The group was professional in its presentation and their music was well received. What I find to be most impressive about The Sword and The Spirit's work is that they move from an accurate portrayal of children's pain to a message of hope and renewal. The lyrics send a clear message that being loved and having a bright future is possible for anyone who chooses to put their trust in God. Their music asserts that God loves them and will never stop loving them. Any of us who work with foster children know that there are all too few guaranteed positives that we can offer them. The music of The Sword and The Spirit holds out a double-edged gift for any taker: 'understanding and hope'.” - Catherine Caum, Intake Worker
