"I
found it pure delight to listen to your CD. Every song held a message
beautifully encased in great melodies and professional arrangements.
And that voice!! What a blessing to us...what a blessing to any
listener who will hear this!! Thanks so much, James.
May God continue to use you for His purpose!"

"Just love the message and the humble way it is presented. I hear Jesus in it glorified and not the human aspect the way most singers glorify self. God bless you in your work."
Patricia Schneider, Wisconsin
"Thank you so much for sharing your sensational talent with us on the National Day of Prayer. We're certain you know God has blessed you - our prayer is that you listen very carefully to what He wants you to do with the gift...with God everything is better!"
Sharon Sneddon and Judy Ingle, National Day of Prayer organizers for Langley, OK
"We really enjoyed the concert...last week. Doyle cried through half the songs. It was like they were written especially for him. Of course, we've all been there sometime or another in our lives. It has helped Doyle tremendously. His mind is more focused on what God's wishes are instead of his own lusts. We ended up sponsoring a child. A little girl, Sandra, from Ecuador. She is 6 years old. We decided to put some of the money that Doyle used to drink up to help someone else. I feel very blest. Thank you for the prayers..."

"James, you will really never know what your music has done for me in my spiritual tug of war. When I start thinking it was a mistake moving here to Louisville, I will be playing a collection of music transferred to a single cd and your songs come on and put me at ease. I thank God that you came by that day to sing in Liberal, KS."
Tim Neal, Louisville, KY
"James, thank you for singing at our annual meeting. There was an enthusiastic response and everyone was blessed by your music. I appreciated your sincerity in both the spoken word and in song. God has blessed you with a special gift of communicating the Gospel through your voice. May He continue to use you to sing and share about the abounding love of Jesus through concert ministry."
Terry Lamberth, D.Min., Clay-Platte Baptist Association, Liberty, MO
"James' passion for worship is apparent. He brought our congregation to the throne of God, allowing us to experience His presence through worship."
Wesley Freeman, Pastor, New Life Fellowship - Holden, MO
"James Rainwater has a voice that is a true blessing from God. But maybe more importantly is his gift to connect with an audience; speaking with humor, simplicity and sincerity about his ministry and love for God. Our congregation was blessed!"
Susan Campagna, Minister of Music, Fairview Christian Church - Gladstone, MO
"Your music and testimony moved and inspired so many people. You can be assured that I will be sharing with others concerning the blessing you gave our congregation. You bring with you the Love of Christ and the very Spirit of God and very unselfishly share it with all with those around you. Thank you for coming and we will certainly be asking you to return very soon!"
John Romp, Pastor, Rock Falls Baptist Church - Orrick, MO
"Your time here was a blessing for all who attended. Our people still talk about the wonderful evening we had with you. Your tender spirit and servant attitude made your time with us very special. Your music was enjoyable and renewing for a broad cross scetion of our congregation. Thank you for a good concert and we look forward to having you come to our church again in the future."
Alan Johnson, Pastor, First Church of the Nazarene - Rogers, AR
"We highly recommend the ministry and music of James Rainwater. We had him for a Sunday evening concert recently and we were truly blessed by every part of it. If you want a different program of sacred music, this is it! The difference is obvious in the great variety of songs (instead of all sounding pretty much alike as in some programs)...each song exalts our Lord and the Jesus way of living. James is a sincere, committed young minister whom God has also blessed with a beautiful voice, sense of humor and the ability to inspire rather than just entertain. This concert is professional in quality, but warm and heartfelt in presentation."
Jim Rutherford, Pastor, First Christian Church - Langley, OK
"I realized that I had not written to let you know
how much we appreciated your concert. It was just beautiful! It really
started our season off perfectly! Thank you so much for coming. James, your music really
has an anointing of peace on it...I believe that while you
ministered...fear and anxiety were broken off of God's people and hope
was renewed. Music is so powerful when done well with an excellent
spirit, which is exactly the way you do it. What a blessing to us on
Sunday! The people were absolutely blessed. What a gift you have and I really appreciate that you are using it to minister
instead of just entertaining."

"Inviting you to Little Rock for a concert was a
great idea! So many had called the station expressing interest in your
music and the artist that I was hoping people would be blessed by
hearing you live. They were not disappointed, and neither was I...The
overwhelming expression was one of amazement that such a high quality
performance was infused with such spiritual impact and delivered with
such humility...I personally was impressed with your meeting people
where they are, with pain, disappointment, hurt and disillusionment,
but you didn't leave us there! You carefully walked us through 'The
Gallery' of human experience to an intimate knowledge of Jesus
Christ!...Your music will remain in rotation in our triple A time, and
please keep us up to date with your new releases."

"As reported in their Top Twenty report issued March 5, 1998.
What a Friend We Have In Jesus was ranked 21 five weeks ago;
ranked 15 two weeks ago and this week is ranked NUMBER 8 -
based on listener request, DJ preference and actual airplay for the
past 30 days.

"Your arrangement of What a Friend We Have In Jesus set to
The Rose is a hit with AM 850 KFUO listeners. The reaction
from our audience over the past four days has been impressive. It's
probably our biggest response over a song since Butterfly Kisses. They
also enjoyed hearing your live interview with me. You were very
inspirational. This morning a lady in church thanked me for
"discovering" you and your song. I contacted some of our
underwriters for you. I'm confident that eight Christian book stores in
St. Louis will soon be offering your album. Meanwhile, your song is in
power rotation on AM 850 KFUO"

"It is indeed my pleasure to recommend the music of James Rainwater to
you. From the first time I aired
What A Friend We Have In Jesus, I was convinced that James
had come up with a song that not only touched our audience, but was
musically innovative. On-air giveaways indicated that recipients
appreciated the variety of styles that James is able to provide with
astonishing success...Although variety of style does not always work in
favor of a new artist, in this case it provides a diamond-like glimpse
at the mutifaceted contour of a God given gift."
