What Others Are Saying

Troy Cunningham

Pastor of Trueway Holiness Church, Alcolu, SC, USA

I wish to give a high recommendation for Bro. David Kocijan and his performance “The Gospel According to Saxophone”. His conduct, demeanor, and music was very professional and extraordinarily spiritual. Our congregation and myself truly enjoyed Bro. David and his music. There was a tremendous response of worship from the people and an awesome sense of God’s presence in the service. We want to thank Bro. David for taking the time to share his ministry with our small congregation at Trueway Holiness Church. Both young and old were blessed by this wonderful night. We are looking forward to him returning to the United States and visiting with us again in the future.
For those of you who may have reservations about using Bro. Kocijan in your church, I can assure you, you will not be disappointed.

Tom Goss, Senior Pastor

Mile Straight Baptist Church, Soddy Daisy, TN, USA

As a pastor I was a little skeptical about a musician from Europe that I had never met. However, as a music lover, my excitement overcame my skepticism and the invitation was extended. It was the right decision. David has an amazing way of mixing the story of Jesus in with the most beautiful music we have been privileged to hear. His ministry is wonderful and our church has been truly blessed by it.
I submit to you my highest recommendations. You will not be disappointed.

Edda Laurea, Communications Director

Dear David,
Thank you for performing at the Manhattan Seventh-day Adventist Church on July 10, 2010 with the Gospel According to Saxophone. We were honored to have you in our church. What a special way to use a God entrusted talent to share the Gospel with others in this postmodern world and give glory to God! We were tremendously blessed with your music and touched by the poignant and smooth way you played the saxophone in your unique style and approach.
Everyone who attended thought you were an amazing musician. Please continue to play the saxophone and touch as many hearts and souls as you did in our church that day.
God bless your ministry and wishing you much success in the future.

We do appreciate your visit and the ministry to our church. We thank you for doing the concert on Saturday, as well as taking the whole service on Sunday. The ministry at our Alpha course was much appreciated as well. You came for few days, and you generously gave us of your time. We all were touched and blessed not only by the music, but by your heart and the way you shared from your heart. The love for the Lord is so evident, and God touched many lives trough your ministry. We are glad that Renata came as well, and be assured that God used both of you, and we do hope that we will have you come and serve again in the soon future.
