Phil I have never forgotten meeting you in the UK in the mid nineties when you were travelling with Jamie
I thought you were a great bloke then and I dont imagine this will change that as anyone who has changed their opinion of you because of this never knew you in the first place Hope your family is OK Your Aussie supporter in the UK

When I was a little girl I had a small radio next to my bed and every easter I left it on the night before and woke up early so as not to miss the the christian radio station playing HE'S ALIVE AGAIN. To me, that song made Jesus and His sacrifice so much more real than any easter sermon. Phil is annointed by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God says as a sheppard He will meet us where we are at not willing that any of us should be lost (Matt. 18:10-14) At fault or not, God willing forgives us and draws us to Himself. Phil is no different. What a refining fire this must be for Phil. If this is persecution ( as that's how it sounds to me) Jesus said plenty about the reward of all who suffer for His Name. I am looking forward to many more years of ministry from Phil and pray that this will draw him closer to the Lord and allow for more of that amazingly annointed music he is known for making. Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness come before he with joyful songs. Ps 100:2 Even Paul praised God during the time he spent in jail in Rome knowing that through his suffering he would be made strong in Christ. I could go on forever, not because Phil is perfect and worthy of praise, but because Jesus alone is worthy, and I pray that Phil will be able to praise Him despite this time of persecution.

Satan and his cohorts are always on the rampage to cast aspersion on those who behold the face of The Lord Jesus daily. The lord knows His own and will not allow them slip out of His hands. Dear Phill, i want to announce to you that no weapon formed against you will ever prosper. You are my favourite singer in the whole wide world. You dont just sing,your songs bring us into the presence of God. You can be rest assured that the millions of lives you have affected all over th world are all praying for you. I was priviledged to watch you perform life in Lagos Nigeria and it was glorious. I look foward to meeting you in person soon by the mercies of the Father. God bless you and keep on doing what you do best. The Lord keep and preserve you for all of us who love The Lord in truth and sincerity.

Phil's music and anointing has been a standard in our worship ministry. We have always said, "When we get to heaven, Phil Driscoll will be one of the worship leaders." Our prayers go out for Phil and his family.

It is difficult to comment without expressing anger and outrage at those responsible for putting Phil in jail. When is he do out? He has been a blessing to our family for many years

I have never met Phil but have been inspired by his Music since I was a teenager back in Jamaica West Indies, in the 80's. He was one of the persons that made me realize that gospel music could be played at a very high standard, Phil I wish you all the best in your adversity and as one your songs say "He's Alive And Well" God will come through for you.
