Hello Patrick,
My name is Jamie. I came up to you after your show
at Peabody's (a club in downtown Cleveland). I
bought your cd. Rap is not my type of music. I'm
more of a punk/rock kind of person. But your music
I like.. I was getting really bored of the music other
groups were doing until you stepped onto the stage.
Your music really spoke to me. It caught my
attention. When I got home I listened to your cd
and it's just wow awesome. Great music. I'm a
christian myself. Lately I have been slipping away
from God. After I lost my father in December, I
slowly started to slip into a dark place. Tonight
when I heard your music, it opened my eyes and
your music pulled me away from the dark and
back into the light. I just wanted to say thank you.
Your music means a lot to me. Please let me
know when you have a new cd out..

Patrick, Jacqueline and the rest of the band;
I attended your show last night at Fat Jimmy's Bar
in Kent, Ohio. I just wanted to write and tell you
how much I enjoyed the show. You guys are a
huge inspiration to me and my friend. We talked
to you guys after your performance. Our names
were Carly and Sara. We took pictures with you
guys and your drummmer (John) gave us some
drumsticks. We really enjoyed ourselves. I added
your myspaces and I hope you guys enjoyed
being there as much as we did.
Thank you,
Sara and Carly. (Kent, Ohio)

Hey man,
It's Larry here. We met at the mansfield gig. Me
and a few of the others. Just wanted to show you
my personal gratitude man. You rocked and the
passion you have for God is SO admirable. I praise
him for letting our paths cross. We're a somewhat
smaller youth group with a great relationship with
God. Right now (and always) we are his vessels
and he is moving through us. We are all very
excited to be involved. We all really received from
your message the other night bro and I am hoping
to catch you again before you go back to the
states. So when and where are you bringin your
messages bro? I'll try my hardest to be there. And
when is it that you fly back out? Anyways bro take
care and God bless! We're praying for your ministry
to grow brother.

Hi Patrick ,
This Shannon Masih from Inala , I hope you still
remember me I am just writing to you to say that
I am fine and I can't stop listening to that CD I
purchased from you at church. It gets me thinking
when I hear the lyrics and how much you are
gratetful for what God has done to help you in your
troubled life that you have had. I too have lots of
problems, and to hear your songs and the life you
had problems with , made me think that if God
heard you and helped you through your difficult
times , I can to try to work hard and worship more
and be successful just as you have become.

Patrick,
That was great! Well worth the wait. It was great
to see that place come alive! To see the attention
that people paid to you. I had my doubts about
that group of spectators. They all seemed so
disconnected and disinterested before you took
the stage. You had every ones attention.
I am glad that I went. It helps to see people that
I wouldn't normally run across. Reminds me
how many people need Christ. And how different
people are from one side of the street to the other.

Hey,
You remember me? You came to my church
and performed for the "bridge". Later you prayed
for me when I broke down crying. Your music is
a powerful bandaid. Don't ever stop or give up.
Keep on trucking .I still draw, if you need any
drawings done, don't be afraid to ask.

DUDE!!!!! PATRICK!!
Your concept rocked on Saturday night!! What
a great heart for God you have.. your song
suicide made the hairs on the back of me neck
go up, and my heart was full of a feeling that
God has for the hearts of people that undertake
such horrible actions.. I pray that you and your
wife are empowered to share your story everywhere
.. as it is life changing.. I thank God for your
testimony! Make sure you add a comment on my
page, so I can refer people to your music and testimony!!
Rock on in faith and power in his strength!
God Bless!!

Patrick,
I got em! Thanks so much! It is a little edgier
than Till My Last Breath.. I like it. I gotta tell you,
your story keeps me going. Seeing how God
changes lives never ceases to amaze me.
And now, there you go, off to Australia! May
He use you both there in a powerful new way
that even you don't expect!

Hey Patrick,
How are you doing? You dont know how long I
have tried to locate you. Years ago I called
Mr. Crayton to see how you ended up. He told
me about the rapping and I am very proud of you
man. I dont know if you remember me but you were
my bunk mate at CHBS. Timothy Schmidt, you
were the first person to ever tell me about the Word
of God and you were the person who had me believe
and saved me. I never forgot about you.
I think its great what you are doing, it is so inspiring
and it really proves God is real, I remember your
story so well and if people really only knew the
statistics you beat, you should be on 60 minutes. I
appreciate the email so much I really do. I hope I
get a chance to see you one day and I promise
that everybody I meet in the Cincinnati, Dayton
area will know your story.
I am so happy to see what you are doing with your
life. I remember our talks and you influenced my life
more then you will ever know. I never forgot about
you, not one week. I wanted to take the chance to
say something I never got to say as a kid. Thank
you, thanks for telling me the Word,and that Jesus
loves me, I was more lost then, then you will ever
know. It truly saved my life and thanks for caring
when no one else did to take the time to tell a punk
kid that Jesus loves him and there is something
better for me.
Tim (Dayton, Ohio)

Patrick,
Thanks for adding me back. Im Ashley's friend..

Thats awesome man! And your music is great.
good to hear something that is rad and praises
the Lord. Not everyday you get the mixture.
Have a blessed day, and keep up the good tunes

James (Brisbane, Australia)

Hey Pat,
Thank You soo much for comming to Australia
for your tour. You came to Citipointe Church
where i attend, i first saw you in the youth on
the friday, then i saw you again on Tuesday
night at the creative ministries meeting, and
what you spoke on really touch my life. You
were talking about worshiping God though all
that we do, from singing to lighting, guitar
playing, to the cable pulling. I was the cable
puller for the night where u were sitting in the
seats watching the worship, and the service
where you and your wife sang. Before that
message on the tuesday night, i just thought
that my roll was not that important, that i wasnt
really serving for Jesus. But through that message,
it gave me a new light on what i do.
And the Sunday night that you two sung, i was
given the oppotunity at the end to do some of the
sholder camera on stage. Which i was told was
amaizing for my fist time. So thank you very much
for comming and impacting my life. I also bought the
CD, and i have some friends that need to listen to
what you are singing. I know it will impact their lives.
Thank You
Jordan (Brisbane, Australia)

Hey man..
I heard of you from my brother. He saw you at
the Cyber Cafe in Bethel, Ohio. He bought one
of your cds and let me hear it. I just thought I
would tell you that I really like your music. It's
really awesome and this is coming from a kid
that never listens to rap. I always thought that
rap with screaming would sound awesome. I
am listening to one of your songs right now. I've
been listening to it all day. You can really feel
the anointing. It's great that you are a christian
and how you have something to say with
some meaning..
Mark (Cincinnati, Ohio)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patrick,
After reading your note and listening to your
music, I am certain that we are fighting in
the same mission field. You are a rare and
valuable weapon in reaching the lost in our
secular world.
And I pray that God will continue to bless you
in every way possible. I believe deeply in what
you are doing and would love to have you
and your group come to our church..
Rob (Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio)

Yo kid,
I came across your songs download.com,
and it hit me. I hit a brick wall in life recently,
was left screaming for help and received in a
way that I never expected. I feel your music
unlike I've felt any in a long time. I want to
know where I could cop your whole cd..
Mike (Detroit, Michigan)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patrick,
You helped me a lot, thanks. I still listen to
the cds you sent me and I watched the DVD
the other day. Things are going a lot better. I'm
getting closer to God. I really like your music
and that you do it for God, that's why I support
you. Besides you helped me get through
all that stuff I was going through..
Becky (California)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yo, Patrick,
I really liked your music. I love rap music.
I like the style of music that you use. Has a
real street approach to it, that I think will
reach a lot of people. There's a lot of feeling
in your songs that you can feel through the lyrics.
I just want to say that some of the songs have
touched me and keep doing the Lord's work..
Robie (Cleveland, Ohio)

Hey what's up,
Got your message, it's pretty cool how you
write back. I heard your music from soundclick.
You said you listen to Underoath, that's pretty
cool, I like them as well. I'm from Illinios,
(Peoria). Anyways I like the songs, "Cry",
"Suicide Letter", and "Last Breath".
The lyrics are awesome like I said before you
rap about real stuffI I have myself experienced
some of the things that you rap about. It's cool
man, I usually only listen to Black/Death Metal.
Then I heard some of your songs and your
lyrics are incredible. You sing about life and
the real stuff pretty cool.
JC (Peoria, Illinios)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patrick,
I love hiphop and I love the Lord but so often
they don't mix. It's about time a rapper with
talent put it to good use. Your love for God
shows through your lyrics and the message
is real. So many artists/bands claim to be
christian but their message is twisted and
their actions show otherwise..

Hello Patrick,
I'm Jon's cousin, Darlene. I just want to thank
you for your ministry to the teens at Jon's funeral,
and memorial the past few days. I spoke with you
after the funeral luncheon and mentioned that your
music reminded me of Eminem's and the Jon
really would've gotten into your music. He could
relate to Eminem because just like Jon, He didn't
know his dad and his mom was only partially present
in his life. His friends knew this.
So I find it very fitting and God ordained that his
passing and your music have intertwined at a time
when his friends are most open to receiving Christ.
They are a good group of guys. I pray your music and
their contact with either the CNC or Vermillion
Assembly youth group will lead them to know Christ.
You deserve so many thanks for totally going out of
your way to minister to the friends of a boy you didn't
even know.. You would've liked him. I pray God's
best to you, your family and your ministry..
Thanks again..
Darlene (Ohio)

Hey, Patrick,
This is Chelsie. I was at John's funeral today. I
just wanted to thank you for showing support
for my boys family and for all my friends. I am
pretty tight with all these dudes out here and
they are having some rough times. But you've
been through some loses, I read your bio and
it was awesome for these kids to have someone
who can relate to what they are going through.
I believe in what you are doing, it's a good cause
keep it up, and I'll see you at the church..
Thanks so much..
Chelsie (Ohio)

Patrick,
My mate, the guy that cable pulled for me

dvd promo on your site...its really good

they do they like...are you serious?!
Your life story man is soo intense and soo full
of struggles and stuff it is just crazy...people
look at you and think if God loves him then he
can love me too...It's surprising how God works...
Anyway if you guys come back to qld you have
to let me know aiight coz i got mates that
need to hear you, mates that need to talk to
someone who understands what
they're goin through...

Hi Patrick,
I saw you perform at Cornerstock this
evening. I just wanted you to know that
the song you wrote your mom really
ministered to me. I am a single mom
raising 3 kids. My husband left for another
woman. We were a military family before the
divorce, and moved 17 times in 18 years
with the Navy. I've fought very hard to give my
kids stability and love in the midst of so much
difficulty, but since my husband left, my oldest
son who's 16, has really taken a dark road. In
many ways I have felt like all the years I have
tried so hard have just become a heaping pile of
ruins, and that none of the love and truth I've
tried to give my kids has had an impact.
Your music inspired me to stand tall and keep
shining the love of Christ and to keep praying for
them-that it does matter, and it isn't for nothing.
I will remember your music when I begin to feel
a loss of hope. God can do a beautiful thing with
a pile of ruins. I really needed to hear your
performance, and I will not forget it. It meant a
great deal to me. Thank you so much. See you
in glory! Your sister in Christ,
Susanne (Akron, Ohio)
