Paul has visited many churches
over the years, to share the gift that God has given him. Here are
just a few of the comments regarding his ministry. We'll add more
as they become available. Have you been recently blessed by this minstry?Tell Us!
"It was a delight to have Paul Gibbs sing and share his musical gifts at the two churches of which I am pastor. His music has charms to soothe the stress-troubled soul. He sings from the heart and his music and message touched many people in the congregations. The children enjoyed singing the song he taught them! And how can I forget watching 10 month old Kirsten watching him with bright eyes and clapping to the music." Rev. Elizabeth Griffin, St. Albans Bay (VT) UMC / United Church of Fairfax, VT.
"Paul Gibbs is
a man who loves God and loves to share God's love with others through
his music. He is a gifted musician, song writer and recording artist.
His songs and recordings have blessed many in personal concerts and
on radio and television. He is active in the ministries of Hudson
Falls United Methodist Church and real blessing in our faith community.
I recommend his ministry.
Rev. Dave Lefurgey, Pastor, Hudson Falls
United Methodist Church, Hudson Falls, NY"
"Dear Paul,
I wanted to write this letter to
thank you for being here last Sunday. It was a wonderful way for us
to begin our Lenten journey to Jerusalem with Jesus. I was very grateful
and pleased with how you became a part of our fellowship by singing
with our own praise team and drawing the members, friends, and visitors
to FBC into an intimate presence with Christ. We certainly look forward
to having you with us in the future and I will tell my other colleagues
about your ministry. Your love of the Lord was obvious as you spoke
to our hearts through your musical gifts.
Grace and Peace,Pastor
Gary" [First Baptist Church of Brattleboro, VT]
"Dear Paul, Jessica and Scott: Thank you so much for sharing your talent, your equipment and your time. Everyone had a wonderful time and the 'name of the Lord was lifted up'. Thank you again and again and again. May God bless you richly as you serve Him. Love, your sisters in Aglow Int'l Schenectady [NY]."
"When the Psalmist said, "Praise the LORD with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings," he must have had someone like Paul Gibbs in mind. He had to be thinking of a talented person with a heart full of music and God's love, a person who could put the message of faith into song with grace and power. Now, I have to admit, I'm not sure about the "harp of ten strings" part. But I have seen Paul use effectively the melodies he creates for God's praise. In every setting that I have seen him, Paul offers God's generous, loving invitation to new life. I can recommend him to you without hesitation or reservation. His ministry will be a blessing to you.
Grace, peace and love,
Pastor Ralph A. Marino, Shenendehowa United Methodist Church, Clifton Park NY"
"Paul Gibbs has provided worship on Sunday mornings for two of my church congregations. His love of the Lord, his quiet voice and musical ability touches hearts and draws the Holy Spirit into the worship setting. Paul is always a welcomed guest. His rendition of classic hymns and contemporary music is a source of comfort and peace to any audience. The Rev. Patricia Girard, Pastor Trinity United Methodist Church of Wilton, NY"
"Paul has shared his musical gifts with our congregation on many occasions, both during worship services and at special events he has hosted at our church. His music is easy to listen to, and has uplifted us as we seek to draw closer to God. Paul radiates an honest, gentle spirit as he ministers to us in song. His faith is transparent and solid, and aims to draw the listener into a closer relationship with Jesus. Paul's many gifts are a testimony to his love for the Lord, and his desire to share this love with the people around him. We have been uplifted and blessed through Paul's friendship and his desire to bring praise to Christ.
Rev. Scott M. Smith Pastor, First Baptist Church, Hudson Falls, New York"
"Dear Paul - Thank you so very much for coming to
sing for us here at Indian River [Nursing Home in Granville, NY].I
watched many people, some I wouldn't expect, singing along and/or
tapping their toes....Please know how much we appreciate your time,
energy and talent. Kari Gilmore, Activities Director."
"Hi Paul, I just wanted to let you and your listeners
know how much we appreciate you and your ministry. I will recommend
you to any church I am in contact with. God certainly used
your talents and we all had such a wonderful time. Thanks
again, I appreciate your heart and testimony. May God continue
to bless you as you serve Him. I look forward to having you
come back. Sincerely, Pastor Barry

GOD" [Rutland, VT]
"…I sat back and
closed my eyes and listened to [“So Much More”], one of the most beautiful
music CDs I have heard…each sound was so wonderful…Mr. Gibbs’ voice
is so soothing and inspiring…the songs he wrote are fantastic and
his vocal tones as well as his young daughter’s are so melodious…it
was just great…I most certainly want to get this CD…He has an awesome
ministry with his music…I loved the final benediction with his daughter…with
the thought of “till we meet again”…just beautiful. Thanks again,
Anita C."
"I've known and appreciated
Paul Gibbs and Jesscott Music Ministries for a number of years now.
They ministered to the hearts of my former church, Victory Bible Baptist
Church, in Porter Corners, NY several times. His humble spirit and
love for the Lord is very evident through his music. His ministry
would certainly be a blessing to you. Danny Sears"
"Paul’s music is soothing and
deeply stirring. He blends traditional and contemporary Christian
music with a sensitive and sweet awareness of his audience. He is
gifted and humble, spends most of his time singing, and yet his little
talks between songs are fitting and touching. Above all, he gives
praise to the God in Christ who loves us above all.” Pastor Bob Beverley,Netherwood Baptist Church, Salt Point, NY
“I have known
Paul Gibbs since he was a teenager playing secular music. It has been
a blessing and a delight to watch him grow in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no doubt that the Lord has His hand on Paul and he is now
witnessing in a personal and powerful way through his songs, recordings,
personal concerts and his radio ministry. Paul recently performed
at our church and deeply touched the lives of everyone with his personal
witness, warm wit, and personal desire to give all the praise to Jesus
Christ. We do certainly recommend his ministry of music and definitely
plan on having him come back to the South Granville Congregational
Church.” Pastor Robert L. Flower.
"Paul, It was wonderful having you last month at our Young at Heart meeting. We had a great turnout, and every one enjoyed your ministry of song and music. We hope to have you back soon, as your schedule will permit. Prayerfully yours, Chuck Everett, Stetson Baptist Church, Deland,Fl."
“Paul has
a genuine love of life and love for Jesus Christ which makes him a
unique blend of talent and passion that leads his listeners in worship
and glorifying the Lord. Paul is blessed with that wonderful gift
of making you feel comfortable in his presence within the first minute
of meeting him. Paul has an incredible talent for bringing the piano
to life, filling the room with the warmth of the Holy Spirit. You
just know God is pleased when Paul turns eyes heavenward! We were
blessed by his ministry and look forward to worshiping together again!”
Juli Shkor, Free Methodist Church, Edgemere, Maryland
"People are still talking about the wonderful night of Christian music
at our first of many 'Coffee Houses'. Faith United Methodist
Church was truly blessed with the Spirit filled music performed by
Paul Gibbs." Rev. Linda Peabody, Faith UMC, Chicopee, MA
"It was a true joy having Paul Gibbs in concert at our newly forming
church. He has such a wonderful rapport with the community,
and is immensely talented vocally and on piano. His gentle,
reverent spirit shines brightly as he leads in worship, whether it
be in solo or congregation singing. He is able to create an
environment for truly worshiping God through music. The Lord
has also gifted him in the abilty to write beautiful, touching songs
about emotions and life experiences that are common to us all.
We would
highly recommend Paul to any church, as he loves the Lord,
desires to use his talents for Him, and is very pleasant to work with.
