Comments:Dear Marsha: As a member of Suncoast Cathedral, I saw you in concert in Ft. Lauderdale in 1999.
I have since moved to N. LIma, Ohio with my partner Pat.
We now live in the country.
My cousin lives in Baltimore. She was here for a weekend and I took out some of your music. She fell in love with your message in song. I have sent her your web site.
Thank you so much for your wonderful talent.

Comments:Hi Marsha,

I'm so sorry i wasn't able to attend your concert on Saturday night at Casa de Cristo. I was working the 3-11 shift and since it was such short notice I was not able to change my scedule. I hear it was wonderful! I would like to be put on the list of those who pray for you and the ministry. I would be interested in yur next Upbeat program. I think ity would be fun and could gain a lot of knowledge and information.
May God Bless and Keep you and protect you as you travel and share the Good News!

Thank you for being obedient to God and sharing yourself with those of us who are in much pain because of being shunned by their families.

Comments:After delayed and then cancelled flights,confiscated personal property and lost luggage, I arrived in Calgary after 13 hours feeling sad, like maybe God didn't want me to go to Canada or maybe even want the conference to take place. Then, I heard you sing and my heart came alive with excitement and a feeling of safeness surrounded me. Thank you and your ministry for all that you do!! I have played your CD now till I know it word for word. Must order more!!!

I know you meet so many people, and I am one of them.
Our paths have crossed many times in the strangest places,and at the oddest of times. I first met you during the worst ice storm we have ever seen in these parts (Lafayette, La.)You know the one when the church we held worship in decided not to let you sing the night you came to town, Thank God for the Luthern Church who let you sing.
Then I moved and lo and behold you had a concert in Arlington Tx. where I had recently moved. Years went by then I happened to be in Los Angles when the UFMCC Building was opened, With my job I was travling all over the place, God timed it just right for me to be there for that awesome day. You introduced me to you son. Well guess what God's at it again. Yep I am a lay delegate for my church here in Baton Rouge La. and yes i am going to confrence in Canada. See you there!!!!!!!!!

Yours as always in Christ.

You will not remember me but I was one of the two sign interpreters when ou sang at New Life MCC in Norfolk Va.,about6 years ago or so. I saw this website and was so hapy to see you wanting to train other musicians and singers for the glory of God.
You and Cindy are in my thoughts and prayers as I now minister to those in need here in the Albany/Troy area.
All God's richest blessings to you and Cindy and the pups/kids :-)

Comments:Ephesians 4:13-15 (King James Version)
13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15. But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

Friends, thanks for visiting the BALM web domain! From time to time, as Marsha says below, those who seek to deceive people, and to drive them away from the One who said "All that the Parent giveth me shall come to me; and they that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out (John 6:37), visit the site as well. When they post their lies here I try and remove them asap. Please don't be offended by these unChristian posts. They merely show the truth of the One who said, "Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also" (John 15:20, said concerning the religious people of his day).

Love is of God, hatred and prejudice are not. Jesus 101 ;-)

Off and on again over the years since it's birth in 1985 I have been attending Spirit of Life MCC in New Port Richey, FL. I am so glad I was there today on Easter Sunday 2005 to hear the inspirational music fo the BALM music ministers. Keep up the great and inspiring and moving work. I grew up a Baptist preacher's kid, singing "For Those Tears I Died" in the Baptist churches..and to find out the real meaning behind Marsha's words, I do understand..wish my folks did lol. Anyway thank you again to Marsha and BALM for your GREAT work!

Comments:Marsha . . .

Thanks for coming to Tacoma for the dedication of the new MCC sanctuary. I am a straight (bi-curious?) UCC minister, working for many years in public sector mental health. I helped MCC - Seattle get started by offering them the sanctuary of the Capitol Hill United Methodist Church for their services. The Broadway Theatre renegged on their agreement when they discovered that MCC meant "those people."

I recall many a Sunday evening, sitting in my study of the parsonage, listening to the joyful singing, our wonderful pipe organ being played better than ever and the "tickling of the ivories" on our Steinway.


I was uplifted by the entire service, but your music was at the heart of my worship that morning.

Please come back to the Pacific Northwest soon.

Warmly . . .

Comments:Dear Marsha and Cindy:

Hello. My name is Travis Wisdom, 16, and am a gay Christian. I came across the music of Marsha originally through Christiangays.com, and then wandered to the BALM Ministries from there on. I must say, I struggle with the depression of being gay and whether or not you are not going against God. Living in a highly concentrated area of Mormons, where Conservatism reigns, I do not have much support. Listening to such Heavenly music, how Christ like as it is, and by one who is an out Lesbian, it makes me feel like there is hope, and that I am being how God has made me. Thank you and God bless.

Within our group of churches, I hear such wonderful testimonials of how your music brings people to God or back to God. Today, I read from a member in our church how you touched a member of my church and I was so blessed reading it, that I knew I must write too. BALM Ministries has blessed us twice (in 2003 and 2004) and we are looking forward to penciling in a date for 2005.

Much love and prayers,

Your music and testimony over the years has been the primary tool for me to learn that I am indeed a child of God and that no matter what Jesus is on my side. Lately I have been trying to deal with a very bruised spirit. I know that that through it all that Jesus is there behind me and is leading me back to the path toward Home. Thank you for the anointing you have shared with so many.

I saw you in Oregon a couple of months ago - I am the woman whose 3 year old grand daughter ran up the ailse during your last song :-)
My personal journey has been extremely turmultuous and seeing you sing about your love of Jesus and speaking to me ministered to me in such a deep way! It was such an incredible blessing to know that I and my partner are not the only ones who are lesbian and are still in love with Jesus! I was raised Nazarene and have been a practicing Four Square/Pentacostal Christian all my adult life. My partner is the daughter of a Baptist Minister and now finds solice in interfaith and Quaker meetings. You can imagine that our finding each other and then finding you together was also such an incredible blessing! God bless your ministry and may continue to reach other LGBTQ Christians in Jesus name - Victoria!

I had long ago given up hope that there were any left for whom being "Christian" meant treating others as they would our Lord, but you have restored hope to this wounded, broken heart. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work God does through you. May God bless you.

I know there is a place for me now in God's Kingdom...I was beginning to have a lot of doubts, since currently I work at and minister musically at The Salvation Army in Chula Vista. Keep up the good work...my prayers are with you.

My mother and her partner - or should I say "my mothers"? - are devout Christians who have faced a lot of discrimination since they fell in love four years ago, and still have to be very discreet in certain situations. Recently I have been taking them to my church, which is open and affirming, so they can feel comfortable worshiping God again in the presence of others. In the meantime the good work of people like you may eventually bring about a society in which they can publicly acknowledge their love in the presence of God's people. Keep up the good work!

Comments:Hi there!

Just wanted to thank both of you agian for coming to Open Door yesterday. It was amazing!!!! God is diffently blessing your ministry.

When you sang "For Those Tears", I couldn't believe the emotions it brought up for me. I remember listening to that song for the first time back in the mid-70's. I had no idea what it was about for the songwriter. But I remember just crying & crying over it. Wanting to believe that God could forgive and love me again after experiencing my first lesbian love. This was at a Nazarene College, which didn't help the whole shame and guilt thing.

I've been attending Open Door for a pretty short time. Sometimes it's just amazing to see people professing to be Christian and lesbian/gay. Sometimes the old tapes will start playing in my head when I'm sitting in church. Then the whole fear and guilt thing is right back in my head. Do you think that ever goes away?

Anyway, thanks again for just being willing to be used by the Lord!!!

I have not seen it in any hymnal since, but was wondering if there is anywhere I can obtain a copy of the song or even the music, so that maybe I can encourage our church to sing from time to time ?? Any help you can be in this matter would be greatly appreciated. May God Bless and Keep you . Sincerely Sheryl Baker

My name is Sue Schantz and I live in Haddonfield, N.J. I'm a 63 year old lesbian, so you can imagine the stuggle I've had with my sexuality.

However, I've been blessed with the friendship of Peg Campolo and she just recently sent me your video called "Till We Meet Again"

How beautifully talented you are and I'm just in awe with your music ministry. It took me years to realize that God had loved me from the day I was born and all I had to do was accept myself. Hallelujah!

I've finally found that passion you talk about but I also realize that my anger sometimes over shadows my understanding. Your tape was such an inspiration and a goal to strive for.

I regret that I missed your Thursday nite concert at the "WOW" Conference, but I look forward to the next time you come to town.

God has truely blessed you!

I'm hoping you'll remember me. We met at the Dallas
conference this past July 2003. There was one very last
opening on your slot to sing a solo and you were gracious
enough to put me in at the last minute. Remember??
First, I want to thank you again for giving me that
opportunity to worship, for I was so strongly being called
to fulfill. Also, I've been keeping in close contact with
Orgena Rose and she told me about your organization BALM
and all the wonderful opportunities it presented.
If you get a small chance my number is 619 269 9770.
You have my email. I don't have nearly enough of the experience that you require, but I hope I can be a part of
your "upbeat" course.
I'm being pulled to do this and from what I under-
stand this would be the best start. I hope to hear from you
soon via email or phone to continue the talk of Worship.
Thank you for your very valuable time and consideration to this matter. May God continue to Bless you
for all that you do and inspire. Congratulations a on your
up and coming matrimony and may The Lord keep you bonded
forever.
Sincerely and Prayerfully,

Thank you for your terrific performance and presence at the UFMCC in Rochester, NY. The Holy Spirit is really working through your efforts and is Blessing me'real good'as I continue to listen to and sing with your soul healing music.

I hope that you enjoyed your time here in Rochester and that you both were Blessed by the experience too.

My background is that I originally was raised Methodist. Went to Sunday school and church every week and of course Vacation Bible school. Was in the Junior Choir there and grew to know and love God in a big way through song. My church was very big on lots of hymn singing to energize everyone. I took the lyrics very seriously and connected to God through them as well as the music itself.

Even early in high school I began to realize that the 'difference' I had been aware of for years was that I was probably lesbian. Through good friends, I switched from the Methodist church and an early child-like, simple but strong connection with God, into what I believed was a more mature, scripture based, growing evolving faith, taught at an independent 'Bible church'. There I learned to pray and begged God to heal me so that I'd awaken some morning either straight,asexual or not at all. Eventually, because I could see no way to live a Christ pleasing life as a lesbian,I began to think that suicide was the only answer. I reasoned that, if what felt like a natural God-given gift of love to me, was actually a sin then what was the point in anything. I eventually believed that death was preferable to being a living Christian 'abomination'. (Today I'm grateful to my Mother God that the suicide attempt failed.)

In college these same life-destroying, soul crippling and abusive thoughts continued although I immersed myself in Campus Crusade for Christ, Catholic folk mass and participated in evangelism using 'The Four Spiritual Laws'. As you have probably heard thousands of times all of this did quite a bit of serious internal damage as 'friends' began to confront me about being lesbian 'for my own good' while using all the 'clobber passages' in the Bible and planned to have me separated from the church.

Even though, thank God,I eventually found UFMCC and then a More Light Presbyterian church, so much of the pain from the religious abuse is still there. Thanks for helping to heal some more of this deep hurt and for reminding me that I can continue to Dig My Own Well 'cause the water don't belong to them'. Also thanks for the assurance that I'm communicating with the Real One. (Is this the Real You? is a great song.)

More than anything I want to thank you both for sharing the real you and your phenomenal gifts with folks like me around the country. Thank you for your honesty about the struggles in your own lives and thank you for modelling a sincere Christian response to those who hate us. We need you so much more than Billy Graham ever could. Seriously! You are providing spiritual music therapy for the soul and answers to a lifetime of prayers for so many GLBT people.

Let's pray for one another as your ministry and love from God is poured out through your gifts of song and ability to connect with people. I will continue to support your efforts.

May God shower boundless blessings,a deep and abiding love for one another and many special tender moments through your every day lives as you walk together into your future.

Love in Christ my sisters,

Comments:Marsha,
I saw you perform at MCC in Amarillo on two occasions. I wanted to let you know that God spoke to me audibly at that 2nd concert, and showed me a vision of my earthly spiritual task/assignment. Thus began an on-going spiritual awakening and adventure in learning what God wants for my life. My wife, Tina, and I cherish you and your ministry. We want to help you in any way we can. We now live in Prescott Valley, Arizona. Thank you for being a vessel for God when I needed it most!

I'm hoping that I will get a chance to meet you. Our Choir is traveling to Dallas July 1 thru July 6th (MCCSD Choir) with Rev.Dan Koshall. You are one person on my list to ask a few questions regarding Music Ministry. I'm a soloist and feeling called to step out. Hope to get a chance!
Blessings,
