"I have had the privilege of spending many days in the studio producing Forgiven Quartet’s recent recordings. I’ve seen them in the most stressful of settings and have come away from each session more impressed than before. These are Christian gentlemen of the highest order. They are obviously committed to spiritual and musical excellence. You can see it in their live performances and you can hear it in their recordings. Forgiven Quartet is Southern Gospel Music at its finest."

"Just a note to say we really enjoyed having "Forgiven" with us. Your entire group and families were a real blessing to our Church Family! We have heard lots of good comments following the concert. We appreciate your ministry, and the spirit in which you ministered here at First Church. You have a great sound of Harmony! I will be glad to share with other Churches in the state, and recommend you to them. We look forward to having you back in the future!"

It was great to have "Forgiven" with us in our morning worship service. These men love the Lord and it shows. Love their harmony and blend. We are thankfull we had them.

The following was sent in an e-mail to the choral organization, The Singing Men of North Central Texas, by John Bell, Assoc. Pastor, Music & Worship, Trinity Baptist Church, Lewisville, TX:

"Before inviting the Southern gospel quartet "Forgiven" to Trinity, I had never heard them sing, other than on the web. They sound really good on the web. But live - oh my! Their blend was amazing. I would highly encourage you to have them at your church. They are genuine and have a servant's attitude. When they spoke of singing in the Seagoville prison, their eyes lit up about those who came to know the Lord at the concerts and how those lives were changed for eternity. You and your congregation will be blessed."

"We have truly enjoyed having you as our featured guests at the Tumbleweed Gospel Jamboree in Newton, KS over the years. You continue to bless us with your ministry as you depend on the Lord's leadership. May the Lord continue to richly bless each of you!"

Skeeter Miller, 3 In Harmony
Haysville, KS

"This quartet is the very best in southern gospel music. The songs and harmony are great, but greatest and most important, is their commitment to the Lord and testimony of His love. It was our great privilege to have them for concerts at Bibleville Conference Center here in Alamo,Texas, in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley of Texas."

Gordy Robinson
Alamo, TX

"Just a note to tell you what a great time we had with you. Our people loved the music and spirit of your ministry. They were glad to have you back. Although this was my initial meeting of your group, I was also very pleased with how you allowed the Lord to use you. I have been recommending you to my pastor friends. I also know many in our congregation have promoted you to their friends in northern Oklahoma. I trust God will continue to bless and use you for His glory."

Rev. Steve Cecil
Woodward Nazarene Church
Woodward, OK

"Blessings, Blessings, Blessings to you and the Lord for the wonderful anointed time we got to spend with you at Del City Church Of The Nazarene in Oklahoma. You touched our hearts as well as everyone else there. We look forward to the Lord crossing our paths again. Be joyful in the Jesus,!"

Karen, Kathy and Diane "Southern Charm"
Alvarado, TX

"Thanks for the great singing. We all appreciated getting to know each of you. You sincere hearts were revealed through your taking time to visit and through your singing. Thanks for being Christ-like!"

Rodney Briggs, Minister Of Music
First Baptist Church
McAlester, OK

"Thank you so much for your ministry to our community at the Annual Gospel Fest. First of all for your flexibility when the event had to be moved indoors because of weather. Secondly for the willingness you have to share your wonderful gifts through the work for our Lord and thirdly, for your sold out spirits for Christ. Your transparency and "realness" for Jesus and your heart to introduce the lost to him couple with your great talent to make a powerful impact. We have held this event for years, and while there has been good Christian entertainment and many seeds planted, we were praying that this year the Lord would let us see some harvest. He brought that harvest through your ministry in the form of the half dozen people who invited Jesus in as Savior and the twenty plus who asked for prayer for needs in their lives. You have been a blessing to this community and we of the Ringwood-Meno Ministerial Alliance pray for God's best blessings on you and your ministry in the future. Be bold and courageous for the Lord your God is with you."

This testimonial was received from J.K. Weger, Minister of Music First Baptist Church - Paris, TX on 05/03/07.

To: Mark Brooke, Mark Green, Scott Henderson, Stanley Johnson (aka "Forgiven Quartet"),

WOW, what a blessing we received on Sunday night as you sang and testified of God's grace and love! I have heard NOTHING but glowing reports and praise as I have encountered our members in the church and community. I have heard comments like, "The best quartet I've ever heard," "There was such a spirit of worship when they were singing," "Forgiven has an awesome sound and blend," "No one in the group was a showboat, the sound was so refreshing." "Very touching." Most of these folks had never heard of your quartet before you came to Paris. I must say that I agree with everyone of them and would add that you are so easy and pleasant to work with. We will have you back at FBC, Paris. I would recommend your group to any church or gospel gathering without reservation. Thank you for your wonderful ministry.

J. K. Weger
