Thanksgiving for Neville Peter’s music
Dear Neville,
I just felt impressed to try to contact Neville and his entire team and tell you all what an amazing blessing his music is.
I’m writing from Rwanda, central Africa. The story of how i first heard Neville’s music, and how I eventually got his 2 amazing CDs (just arrived 2 days
ago and thats all i’m listening to!) – is one that spans a couple of years, and more than a couple countries to boot!!
I first saw/heard Neville on 3ABN a couple of years ago when I was visiting my parents in Tunisia-just briefly…he was playing the piano, and we were
all struck by the power in his voice. I didnt hear of him again til a couple of months ago when i was listening to an MP3 sermon about music, culture and
christianity (by Eric Walshe) and the pastor mentioned his name, and gave the website address. i visited the site, read up about him, and listened to the
song samples! My entire being (spirit and all!) was moved by the music, and it was heart breaking when the 30 seconds were up and i couldnt hear the rest
of the song!!! I immediately made plans to buy the CDs – I would have to buy them online, ship them to an aunt in Colorado, and either ask her to post
them over, or wait for someone to visit her (from this region) and bring them back. In the end, thats what happened – after an impatient wait, a couple
of stops, i’ve finally got the CDs!
And I just had to write – because through his lyrics and beautiful yet simple arrangements – you hear, see and feel a soul that has truly answered Jesus’s
call – who seeks Him like one thirsting for water, and who has become His friend. Each song is so uplifting, so soul-inspiring – Neville needs to know
that when Jesus comes, He will say to him: “well done, good and faithful servant, you have used your talent to my glory and honor!” What a blessing! I
love the spirit of Messages from the Throne of Grace – pointing to the need to embrace Jesus as Saviour and not procrastinate. Showing the beauty of an
intimate frienship and trusting reliance on Him. The songs are exquisite. I also really love the Hymns – bringing a whole new soulful feel to our church
tradition – something I think many people out there will relate to and feel ministered to. Beautiful music. I cant wait for the next project. And I hope
that in the near future, Neville will consider taking his performances
further out, to Africa, and hoepfully will reach the quiet, beautiful country of Rwanda!
