Edwards - National Speaker
When it comes to finding a worship band for your event, the question
is not, are they good players? To be sure, there are many of those. The
question is not, do they know all of the songs my group likes to sing?
That’s easy to find. The question is….do they have God on
them? And will they be able to help my group connect with His presence?
When it comes to Mark Ryan and his band, this answer is yes to all of
those questions.
Michael Butler - Youth Pastor
- Council Road Baptist Church
The Mark Ryan Worship Band did an incredible job for our event.
Their level of energy along with their focus made them a great choice
for leading worship for us. Our students connected very well with them
during the event, and their character made them easy to work with before
and during the event. They are approachable and willing to work with you
to make your event be all it can be.
Andy Tilly - Youth Pastor
- Life Church OKC
I cannot say enough about the talent and the dedication that Mark has.
He has always remained professional in every aspect of the ministry. He
is a great worship leader and I would recommend him for any event or gathering
your ministry may have. You will not be disappointed!
Matt Hankinson - Exuctive Director OKC
- Youth For Christ
You guys were unbelieveable! Our camp is very mixed from Christian to
non-Christian, Hispanic to Caucasion, African American to Alien. You guys
connected better than any worship band we have ever had. You kept the
energy high and had the attention of everyone in the house.
I wanted to comment on how well you transitioned each song, involved the
crowd, and personlly worshiped God. We will definitly book you guys again
next year!
Mark Anderson - Senior Pastor
- Colonial Heights Baptist Church
The band did a tremendous job! They demonstrated ministry excellence in
the quality of their music combined with a godly spirit. Our kids not
only enjoyed their music but the opportunity to spend time with them during
the week. They were fun, friendly and dynamic worship leaders. I highly
recommend them.
Bryan Champ - Youth Pastor
- Antioch Christian Church
The MRW did an incredible job for us. We hosted an event called "See
You At The Party" in conjunction with See You At The Pole. Not only
did they do a great job leading worship, but they were great guys to work
with! I would highly recommend them for anything!!
Becky
Coyle - Youth Director
- Catholic Parish of St. John the Baptist
Mark continues to inspire our youth through his praise and worship. While
singing it is obvious that he is praying with every word. He offers up
his gift of voice and is happy to share it with others.
Michelle
Star - Overtone Entertainment / 91FM
- Concert Promoter / Radio Personality
Mark is very professional and friendly, with a smile on his face at all
times. The praise and worship was exactly what everyone needed that night.
That was obvious when they had an encore! Overtone Entertainment would
definitely love to bring them back and get to know them more.
Pastor
Paul Cunningham - Pastor
- Westmoore Community Covenant Church
He has led our church's worship many times, along with youth groups and
other gatherings. Mark has a gift to bring people into the presence of
God with a unique combination of Christian Rock, acoustic guitar and a
real passion for worshipping God.
Emily Kuykendall - Team X Director - Xperience it! Youth Ministries In
my time having shared ministry experience with Mark, I have seen him use
the talent God has given him to lead literally hundreds of people into
passionate, intense and heart felt worship. He has an ability to draw
his listeners into God's presence with musical excellence and raw passion
for worship that is obvious to all who hear him play. Having been in ministry
with him, I can say that he lives his life just as he plays his music-
real, honest, passionate and devoted totally to bringing God glory.
Joe
Welch - the Director of Youth Ministry
- St. John Nepomuk Catholic Church in Yukon, Oklahoma.
We had MRW out for our first annual Summer Rocks Youth Rally. The rally
is designed to get our youth excited and pumped up for the school year.
Over 100 teenagers attended this year, and MRW was our main event. The
band did an excellent job turning up the juice!
Our teens are still telling me how much fun they had, and how much they
enjoyed the band. These guys are for real, and so is their Gospel message.
Brett
Manning - Youth Pastor / Band Coordinator
- Mixolot Concert Ministries / House of Joy Church
We were able to have The Mark Ryan Worship band come and be a part of
our ministry at Mixolot in March of 2004. They were asked to lead worship
for a group of people that are very diverse as the concert we were having
had contemporary pop, hip hop, and hard metal. So you can see that the
different people that were at the event might have a hard time enjoying
the praise and worship. Mark and his band stepped up and the crowd did
as well. The crowd was more into the worship part of the evening than
any other part. They led us into the presence of the Lord. I would recommend
them to anyone; they have an awesome sound and a tremendous ministry.
I pray that God will continue to open doors for them.
Steve
Queen - Pastor / Band Coordinator
- The Living Room / South Metro Church
The Mark Ryan Worship band are great musicians with big hearts for God
and for people. We look forward to having them back again and again!
Gerald Curren - Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministries
- St. Phillip Neri
It is a blessing to call up Mark and have him come out for an event and
know that we are getting a gifted singer/musician who is dedicated to
serving the Lord and leading others into great worship. We never have
to worry about his sincerity of heart. Mark transposes his personal relationship
with Christ to others very well. If Mark is not a part of your programming,
you may just be missing out!
Israel
Hogue - Lead Pastor
- the edge Church
Mark's music is excellent. It's edgy, fresh, true, and if you are around
it enough to really listen or experience it...it will take you right to
the Lord! I've been around a lot of church music guys...he's the real
deal! Listen! You'll see what I mean!
Sean
Gutteridge - Music Minister
- Westmoore Community Covenant Church
With a fire and an unquenchable passion for both ministry and music, mixed
with an uncontrollable desire to see lives changed and given over to Jesus
Christ, one cannot help but be changed in some way; Mark and his music
are addictive and contagious. More heart-felt, exciting, spirit-wrenching
worship is harder to find than worship led by Mark Ryan. This young man
has such a grasp of music and sensitivity for God's words of promise,
grace, and hope that are well beyond his years and yet a freshness and
intensity that is seldom seen. I recommend Mark to all who need worship
at their church or event. He will provide more than just great music,
but an experience.
Steven
Vancalemburg
- M&M Productions
Mark Ryan continually blows me away with his ministry and his passion
for praise and worship. I recommend Mark Ryan to anyone who needs powerful
and relational worship in their event.
Eldon
Fossey - Event Coordinator
- Mixolot Concert Ministries / House of Joy Church
I highly recommend this band for any event that evolves Praise and Worship.
I have had nothing but great comments about the band. These guys are awesome
and really know how Worship God to the fullest.
Jeffiner Garrett - Feed the Children
- Special Events Coordinator
The Mark Ryan Worship Band was incredible at the Skool House Jams
Benefit Concert. When they stepped on stage, it wasn't to perform, but
rather to encounter God and lead others to encounter God. Their passion
for God and ministry is evident on stage and off. They are not only blessed
with talented musical gifts, but they carry their audience into the presence
of God and worship. I would recommend The Mark Ryan Worship Band for any
concert, church, or other event and look forward to another opportunity
to serve along side them.
Erin Cleto - SGU
Student Ministry Director
- St. Gregory's University
This was a great experience for our students. The band was
personable and the music was fantastic. A great faith-filled evening,
and we hope to have you all back!
Clint Wheat - Youth
Pastor
- New Community Church
- Muskogee, OK
The guys were great and were so enjoyable to work with. Thanks
for coming out the kids loved it. |
