Der Brother, Terry.
You have no idea how much your ministry has blessed my wife and I plus countless others in various churches where we live. You have a gift and an anointing far beyond anyone else I have heard lead worship. You are so able to truly draw people into a Holy of Holies experience with our LORD. Please put this all behind you and come back to where God placed you. He is not through with you yet. His gifts and callings are without repentance (Rom. 11:29). My wife and I will continue to pray for you and your wife. God has forgiven you and so have we. Now you must forgive yourself and do what our LORD has created you to do - lead us in worship - in spirit and in truth.
I have used several of your anointed worship songs in services I have led and everyone loves singing them and entering into true worship.
God bless you as you make your way back to the world God created you for.
With much love and prayer.

I pray that he picks himself up and start over again. His music ministry has blessed millions upon millions of people. His pure-hearted worship helped me in my process of learning how to worship God. The call upon his life is greater than his fall. There is restoration for him. It is still not too late. We all fall down, but by the Grace and Mercy of God, we get back up again!

My wife and i have been listening to Terry's music for a few years and just learned about his fall. Terry's music still fills our home and the presence of God still fills our hearts through the music. In my 46 years of being a Christian and all my ups and downs and turning my back on God, there are times that i can not call Him Lord but i can always call Him Father. Terry, God told me at one point,"you just love Me and let Me take care of the rest". Jesus didn't die for part of our sins He died to forgive ALL of them. Blessings

Dearest Terry,
If you ever read this, the world needs you. The kingdom of God needs you. I don't think there is a service in our church in Dubai when we dont sing one of the songs from your cds. The anointing you have been given to lead people straight to the throne is from our King alone.
I was just watching Benny Hinn's fire crusade which was held on May 29th, 09 and they played your LIVE WORSHIP cd while he was ministering. They didn't want just anyone to sing it... so they played your cd. Such is the anointing you had. His grace is sufficient for you and His strength is made perfect in your weakness. Please come back.. we need you. His anointing breaks every yoke... and I am sure you can come back! God Bless you.

My prayers go out to brother Terry, knowing that none of us are exempt from spiritual attacks. Have purchased and used many of his anointed CDs at my church.

I love what the Lord gave us through Terry's voice worship from above. We are all capable to fall out of grace if we take our eyes of the King. If we fight with our mate no of us would agree murder is in our hearts most of those fights!! Yet one of the commandments is do not murder! In all are hearts they need circumcised, from the filth of the curruption of fallen man, we need Jesus. Many believers do not know God's word. Which is life and helps them in times of trouble. God's people perish because why??? Lack of knowledge, what kind of knowledge His knowledge. Man thinks many things are right in his sight but God's word is TRUTH, hide it into your heart!!

Hardly a day passes that I don't listen to one of your songs on one of your CDs, or play from one of your music books. How my heart aches for you. I, too, fell into sin resulting in the splitting of my family.....and for 35 years served everything except the Lord. And, it has always been tempting to blame others, my ex-wife, etc., but the fact is I willfully chose to turn my back on my Lord and family.
Because He is gracious, forgiving, loving, and kind; He has restored my to Himself, and I have for the last 13 years has enabled me through the Holy Spirit to walk close to Him. And while I still face consequences resulting from 35 years of serving self and flesh; he has dismissed it from His memory. He will do likewise for you. I pray for restoration of your fellowship with our Heavenly Father.....please don't wait 35 years!

All he has to do now is repent and go back to his wife and children. That is the right thing to do according to the word of God. Adultery is sin, and God hates divorce.
