"The Farm Hands were truly a blessing for us! Most groups come in with loud music and stage antics in an attempt to stir the emotions, but with The Farm Hands, it was more like sitting together in our living room just enjoying good music and the presence of the Lord. THANK YOU. I sensed your sincerity in that you were simply being yourselves on stage and allowing the Spirit to do the work. It was truly a refreshing hour of praise and worship!" -First Church of the Nazarene, Georgia.
