Here's What They're
Saying About Dean-o:
"Wow! In nearly 30 years of ministry, I have never
seen anything like this! The concert was such a
powerful presentation of the Gospel, and every child
(and adult) was totally captivated by the music,
choreographer on stage and the energy of Dean-o
himself!"
-Kathleen Chapman, Lake Hills Comm.
Church, Laguna Hills, CA
"Dear Dean, I received your new CD this week and I
had to write and tell you how great it is. Describing
the nature of God to young children is difficult, but
you have done it very well with He's Got Plans
and Outta Sight. God's free gift of eternal
life as a treasure in Free Inside is one of the
best songs for children I have ever heard. You are
gifted and blessed and I know that God will continue
to use you in a great way. Thank you for all these
songs, they will bless the children in my church and
greatly aid in their faith formation and understanding
of who God is."
-Vicki Wiley, El Dorado Park
Community Church, CA
"We were really pleased with the whole event. It
was very much worth it! It was awesome to see the kids
singing and worshiping with their hands and voices. We
now have all of Dean-o's music in our children's
ministry."
-Jennifer Groth, North Coast Church,
Vista, CA
"We had Dean-o at our kids' camp and he was the
highlight of the week! The audience involvement with
the hand-motions was a real big hit!"
-Mark
Pritchett, The Harbor Church, Lomita, CA
"It is sometimes hard to get older elementary-aged
kids to sing, but not so with Dean-o and the
Dynamos. Our kids were standing in the aisles;
enthusiastically singing, clapping and praising God.
What a great way to close our VBS week. The impact of
his concert continues a year later . our kids need a
Christian model hero and Dean-o is definitely one of
them!"
-Geri Templeton, Calvary Church, Santa Ana,
CA
"Dean-o's music is cutting-edge for today's 'video'
generation. The Word of God is communicated in a way
that kids understand and remember. 'The Bible with a
Beat' is just what our older elementary-aged kids have
needed! Finally, an upbeat style of music with great
Bible content written just for them!"
-Connie
Wellick, Bible Fellowship, Ventura, CA
"If you're looking for music that is fun,
energetic, and gets kids out of their seats, Dean-o is
your man. We were impressed with Dean-o's servant
attitude. I believe Dean-o's ministry represents a new
approach to children's music that is effective in
reaching upper elementary-aged children!"
-R.
Dean Stone, Executive Director, International Network
of Children's Ministry
"Dean-o and the Dynamos' enthusiastic and
high-energy concert kept children and parents alike
riveted! Dean-o's music brings children's praise and
worship to a new level and prepares them for the
contemporary style of worship that adults enjoy
today!"
-Sherri LaPlante, Sonrise Community
Baptist Church, Santee, CA
"Greetings! First let me say that I am absolutely
thrilled with your nomination! Last October I attended
the FKO Seminar held in Spokane. I bought Soul
Surfin' while I was there and put it on my CD
player the very next Sunday as my kids were coming
into Sunday School. (I am currently teaching
4th & 5th grade). The first
two people in my classroom were 2 boys who said 'Wow!
Where did you get that CD!' Since then we have been
singing Dean-o songs every Sunday and the kids all
love them (even the 5 year-olds!). I just wanted to
let you know that your music has touched the lives of
our kids here in Kennewick. God Bless you and keep up
the good work!"
-Glenda Regenfuss, Director of
Children's Ministries, Spokane, WA
"Dear Dean-o, I have never written to a person such
as yourself before , But I felt I had to write and
tell you what your music has meant to me and my
children. We literally have not listened to anything
else since we bought one of your tapes! I have 5
children ranging in age from 5 years to 15 years old,
and I may no longer darken our tape player in the car
with anything but Dean-o! Even my 15 year-old can't
help but sing along. Your ministry is so important
because there has always been such a BIG gap between
children's praise tapes and teen music. You bridge the
gap and then some. I grew up with a crush on Micky
Dolenz (the Monkees), so it goes without saying that I
also love your sound. But it is the words that have
the most impact on our lives as they continue to play
in our minds throughout the day, reminding us what
God's Word would have us do! I write this as an
encouragement to you to continue on with the ministry
that the Lord has surely blessed you with! I pray that
your ministry will continue to grow, as you go on
singing that Lovin' God is Livin'
Great!"
