Somehow I’m always lead to check out the site and wind up reading one of your journal entries and finding just what I needed for that day even for that moment.
May GOD continue to richly bless you and your family as you serve HIM!

Dear Steve Green,
I would first of all like to say that your records have always been so uplifting.God has used your albums in my life so many times-I can’t begin to count.I actually started listening to you when I was like four years old.I am now 22 and I still enjoy them.From the very first album”The Mission”till your most resent one “Somewhere Between”I believe it is called.I love the songs on that one.You see in the last 5 years 4 family members in our family have died.Three I know are with the LORD,my grandfather I am uncertain.My Aunt,Grandmother,and my dad are all with the Lord.
Your songs I have found have really showed me just how Great our God is.God is far greater then anything we can begin to imagine.I will say this to all people-allow God to have your life from an early age.Don’t waste it by following the worlds ways.Say yes to God now and allow Him to use you.You don’t know where He will take you.God’s plans for us are far greater then we can begin to imagine.
May God continue to bless you and in the songs that you sing to His glory.
God Bless,
Ruth

I appreciate your devotional writing as much as I appreciate your music ministry. I’m very logical and wade through theology rather easily. However, I’ve not been a great devotional thinker and I think devotion is where theology meets consistent application. It’s necessary to be able to apply God’s Truth in the small details of our lives. I think this is what James was talking about when he wrote that faith without works is dead. I learn how to think devotionally through writings such as yours. Thanks!

Dear Steve (& Marijean):
I just want to thank you for all of the encouragement that you have been over the past few years. I grew up listening to your songs and they are still my favorites. I believe that very few Christian artists have a voice as incredible as yours or sing with the strength and clarity as well as the extremely powerful messages that you put in your songs. I really appreciate too how you have made your songs more contemporary and have kept your albums up to date. I am 23 years old and recommend your music to my friends. I have been trying to get our radio station to play more of your music. What would need to be done for that to happen? Please let me know as I think many more people would benefit from hearing your songs on a frequent basis.
God bless you and your ministry!

Dear Steve:
It was a great pleasure meeting you in person on February 23, 2008 at the Philly Airport while both of us were traveling to Nashville. Thanks for signing my Bible and your word of encouragement. I began listening your songs since 1986 the first year I arrived to the US. My cousins who attended Cedarville introduced your songs to me. Since then I have been to many of your concerts and your songs has been a favorite of mine. Songs such as, Calvary’s Love, God and God alone, Find us faithful, People need the Lord, If the sky and galaxy etc. and at the Young Messiah your song- I know that my redeemer liveth.. were my all time favorites. These songs were uplifting, comforting and many circumstances of life provided hope and strength. So thank you and continue to do what you do best for the Lord. My kids loved your prayer bear stories and it was a great blessing to them. I hope to have you worship with us in Delaware some time in the future. May the Lord bless you and your family.
Sincerely,
Gee

Dear Steve,
I still remember the first time my wife and I heard you at Praise Gathering in the early 80’s and we remember seeing God’s transformation as it took place in your life and ministry. Since that time we wore out tapes of “God and God Alone” and “Woven in Time” and replaced them with CD’s. These two albums have been constant companions and a source of personal worship, growth, and encouragement.
Over the past three years I have traveled overseas on missions. The songs “Only Jesus” and “Enter In” ring in my ears as I struggle with God’s call. The Holy Spirit and the words have been a source of strength.
This year we saw over 1,200 orphan children and participated in the baptisms of 800 new believers. “We Have Seen God’s Glory” fits with the experience.
Your ministry of music through the Holy
Spirit has blessed me greatly.Thank You.
In the Lord’s Service, John

Hey
Your songs are a great comfort . .a sibling of mine had nightmares, and then he listened to Woven In Time as he went to sleep. He didn’t have nightmares that night. Your songs are so full of God, that the love can be transferred to those listening and be a strong comfort. I know it has been for me. Thank you so much for letting God use you, and turn you into who you are now. Thank you for being molded.

Hey
Last time I posted, I forgot to say this. I have wanted to sing with you forever, but one day it donned on me. I’ll be singing with you in Glory . . it seemed like such a wonderful thought to me!

Dear Mr. Steve Green,
Greetings Sir! My name is Japhet Abrasaldo and I am from the Philippines.
As a child I have been listening to your songs because my dad would play your music repeatedly. I didn’t know the messages of your songs have back then. All I remember is that I developed a liking for them because of repeated playing and because some of them had happy beats like the “Proclaim the Glory of the Lord.” And because of that, I remembered your name. I grew up listening to your music and looking for it in stores. And more importantly, I finally figured out the messages, which centers on our Almighty God. I am 24 years old now and I’m still enjoying your songs every time I listen to them.
I thank you Mr. Steve for sharing your talent and being an encouragement to fellow Christians. You’re a true servant of God.
Mr. Steve, I just have one request…Can you please have a concert tour here in the Philippines also? I’m not the only one whose gonna be happily blessed by that, but other Baptist-Christian Filipinos as well.
Thank you Sir and God bless you.
Respectfully yours,
Japhet Jonas Abrasaldo

Querido señor Green:
Desde que lo escuché por primera vez en la radio cristiana cantando “La sinfonía de Dios” , no he dejado de buscar sus canciones y ahora , las aprendo a cantar junto a usted, tanto en castellano como en ingles. Ha sido de gran bendición para mi,cuando me siento triste, sus canciones me recuerdan que nuestro Salvador siempre está cerca para ayudarnos. De hecho, en ocasiones lloro al escuchar las verdades que canta, y que la vida misma se encarga de hacer que olvidemos o descuidemos como cristianos.
Dios le bendiga enormemente a usted y su familia por esta hermosa obra de predicación. Tal vez nunca pueda verle en un recital ya que soy del interior de Argentina, pero sé que sus canciones llegarán a los cuatro rincones de la Tierra, y tocarán miles de corazones confundidos.En el amor de Cristo,me despido.
