"I
am continually amazed that my "bratty kid sister" has evolved
into this remarkably talented woman whom I both admire and respect.
There is so much of the Word in the songs she writes.. They
go straight from the bible to "real life," and are edifying
and encouraging, while often being a devotional teaching set
to music. I love her dearly and I am undoubtedly her greatest
fan." "I
am a U.S. Soldier in training, and I've really got to say one
thing. I am blessed to fight for people like you. I have a hard
time saying this without crying, but you are what makes this
country worth fighting for." "I
want to thank you for including me in your ministry. It is a
blessing to listen to you sing..share..teach..and ramble..God
has given you such gifts and a family to come along side and
support you and have their particuliar gifts...PRAISE GOD...!"
"Someone
once said that you never really know anyone. There are exceptions...
and Kerry and Kenna are among those. Their transparent faith
is the calling card of their everyday life. It is with reckless
abandon that they serve God: it is their statement of faith
while embracing the perfection of His perfect will. Beyond talent,
past giftedness, theirs is a life of calling... in the home...
in the church... in the world... wherever, whenever ..." "Kenna
Turner is a great writer. She has written the title cut off
our latest project entitled A Taste of Grace. Our next
project was named after her song, Walk in Triumph. We
want to say a special thanks to Kenna for sharing her talents
with us!" "Kenna
has been a friend for many years, and not until the past 5 or
so did we realize just what an incredible writer she is. Of
course, we thought she had a great heart and a great voice for
ministering, but to hear the depth of her lyrics adds another
level of appreciation we feel for her. I'm glad she trusts me
as an artist to interpret her heart in song." "I
met Kerry and Kenna approximately three years ago. I was immediately
struck with their lack of pretension, especially considering
their background in gospel and country music. While they enjoy
a certain amount of notoriety and fame, their demeanor is one
of humility. Even an observer with his senses dulled can pick
up quickly that both of these people have a love for God that
supersedes anything and everything else in their lives. They
are quality people in a world that promotes less than quality.
As their pastor, I highly commend them to you as faithful and
God-fearing people." "Kenna
West is a bundle of vivacious energy. She loves the Lord enthusiastically,
and her enthusiasm is contagious. Blessed with a beautiful voice
and a sharp wit, she's presents a powerful message in her music
- as both a songwriter and performer. I love Kenna's music,
my wife loves Kenna's music, and our eleven kids just plain
love Kenna." "I
pray that God will continue to use you and bless you in your
ministry of music and preaching." "Kerry
is one of the most dedicated guys to his family and work I know.
He is the first one at the job and the last one to leave. When
you are in Kerry's hands you don't have to worry, all you need
to do is deliver the 'message' and he takes care of the rest
in a very professional matter." "Her
warmth and sincerity is reflected in her voice and music and
is touching the hearts of young and old alike." "Kenna
Turner West is one of our faviote singers here at First Baptist
Church at the Mall. Kenna has a style of music all her own.
Her songs and music reveal her passion and love for the Lord
as well as for reaching and ministering to the needs of people
all over the world. God is using Kenna because she is available
to Him and all He wants to do in and through her. That's what
I see in you and what I feel you bring to any opportunity that
God gives you. Have a GREAT day!" "Your
testimony for Jesus is always dynamite! I so deeply appreciate
that you are a soul winner. You have certainly become one of
our favorites." "Congradulations
on twenty years in the Family of God... God bless you and give
you strength for the journey. Your music ministry will continue
blessing the world." |

"How
wonderful it must be to share your incredible gift with so many.
We were particularly blessed that you witnessed to us at the Pentagon
on Good Friday, 2003. You reached many that day as evidenced by
the compliments, particularly on your "We Are America." I am sure
that it will become another national Tradition. God bless you, and
know that you are welcome." "It
has been my pleasure for the past few months to have become acquainted
with Kenna West. I was introduced to her through her song writing
and was immediately taken with her abilities and talent. Kenna is
more than just a wonderful person. Whatever she does, she does with
all her heart. You will never meet anyone quite like her and you
will be a better person for having done so." "I've
known Kerry West for many years. He is truly a man blessed by God,
with many talents. As a recording engineer, he is phenomenal! Then
there is Kerry West, the teacher ... a man who has patience, and
shares his knowledge with others. Then there is Kerry West, the
father, who lives his life for his wife and son. Kerry is really
the kindest person I've ever known. He's a man I have that soul
connection with. I'm proud to know you, Kerry." "As
one of our state's leaders, I wish you the best of luck in all you
strive to attain. It is an honor to represent you in the United
States Senate." "In
these serious times, we are reminded how important it is for good
people to get involved in their communities in whatever way they
can. I wish you the best of luck on another 20 years of speading
music and inspiration." "Kenna
has really touched the racing community as she has ministered at
the Motor Racing Outreach Pre-race chapels in the NASCAR Winston
Cup and Busch Series this year. Not only has she been a hit with
her amazing musical talent, but has truly touched the hearts of
the drivers, crews, and families with her personal approach and
powerful testimony. We love her as a partner with TEAM MRO!" "Kenna
brings a tremendous amount of encouragement and energy to our chapel
services at the Winston Cup. I have watched our community grow to
respect her as a person, wife, and mom. Her day-to-day message and
penetrating lyrics make her music and message relevant to the people
served by MRO." "I've
known Kenna since she was four years old. Her dad, Ken is my best
friend. In her late teens, I heard her sing and was amazed at her
range and versatility. A few years later I heard her minister and
was surprised at her knowledge and understanding of God's Word.
Writing music has revealed more gifts of wisdom and insight. She
cleverly takes heavy issues and turns them into "palatable" exhortations
to fellow believers. Kenna's lyrics reflect a profound reverence
for the miracle of our Savior's love. Invite her to minister at
your church, secular, sports, political or business settings because
she has studiously avoided communicating with religious jargon.
This girl's amazing. No kidding." "Kenna
comes from a great background of gospel music. She has not only
felt the music in her singing, which could only be labeled as great,
but she has also experienced God through her writing. What a wonderful
talent surrounded by her exciting personality." "Kenna,
being around you is a breath of heaven on earth and true inspiration.
You and Kerry are so surrendered to God. He is all over your life.
And through your life, your songs. And through your songs, your
fans. Any time I can do anything for you on your behalf, just ask
me. I am proud to know you. Thanks for letting my "Dad" use your
wonderful talent and testimony. And thanks for being my friend." "Kenna
is the real deal. She is extremely talented, absolutely hilarious
and best of all, performing for the Glory of the Lord. She will
bring the house down!!!" "I
am excited to recommend Kenna West to you - one of my FAVORITE people
on the planet. In all of my years in ministry, I have seen very
few with her passion, love for life, and strong desire for the things
of the Lord. She is truly a blessing to everyone she meets, making
everyone feel special. She is also one of the most gifted speakers
and songwriter/singers that I have met. After working in the Christian
music industry for over 20 years now, I can honestly tell you that
Kenna West in a breath of fresh air!" "Kerry,
Kenna & Graham ROCK! Wonderful people, amazing talents, infectious
personalities & FINISH THE JOB attitudes... I can't say enough
good things about them." |
