Spreading the "Good News of Jesus"
through Song and Video

 

Poem dedicated to Mary Fay Jackson by Pat White on her birthday

Today, I want to wish you a happy day and hope many good things come your way.

You are a little lady with grace and style and I've watched you over the years as you traveled this road with a tear and a smile.

Today, you are doing what you love the most, we all are so proud of our little T.V. host.

Keep up the good work, with a word and a song and someday you will see all the people,
you have led to our father's throne.

One thing I want you to remember when the way seems dark and drear, our Lord Jesus Christ never leaves us, He is always near.

These are just a few of the many emails that Mary receives and she just wanted to share some of them with you.  We have abbreviated the names to preserve everyone's privacy. 

God bless you as you read these mini-testimonials about the many ways that Mary Fay Jackson and
1 A Chord Ministries has touched (and is continuing to touch) people's lives.

Thank You so much for such a wonderful program. We watch it every Saturday morning from 8am-9am.We have a mentally handicap daughter who is 31.Christi functions on a four year old level. She can't tell time, or read, but she seems to know when it's 8 on Saturday morning, because she gets excited and tells us to turn on Texas Gospel. She loves your program as we all do. There isn't much that keeps her attention more than a few seconds, except for your program. You are truly blessed of God. Thank You again for your music ministry it is much appreciated. You are always in our prayers.

I had to write and tell you that I hadn't been in church in over 15 years
 until I happened to catch the 1 A chord show on TV the other
 night. Something has been missing from my life for a long time. Your
 singing brought the message home to me again. Thank you so much! I will be
 tuning in from now on.

I just finished watching Texas Country Gospel on the angel one.  It is the first time I have ever seen the program, but I will be watching it again when it is on.  Your program really touched my heart.  On March 14 2000, my husband of ten years passed away from Brain Cancer.  Prior to that, he had never been ill in his life.  My husband was also my best friend and I miss him terribly.  He and I played Southern Gospel music together.  He played guitar, dobro, and banjo and I played mandolin.  We both sang harmony together.  In fact, music is how we met.  We also played bluegrass and traveled around to various festivals.   

The reason I am writing is because the show today contained many of the songs we did together and it was almost like my husband was speaking to me as I remembered the music and the memories associated with singing them with him.  I would love to have a DVD or video tape of today's show.  It aired from 9am to 10am today, February 25, 2006.  Some of the songs on today were, Unclouded Day, On the Wings of a Dove, In the Garden, God Bless America, I'll Fly Away, and so many more.  There were only a couple that we did not do, but I was familiar with the songs.  If you have a copy of this show, I would appreciate having it.  I will be glad to purchase it and send an additional contribution in memory of my husband.  I can think of no greater memorial than one that spreads the gospel through the music that he and I so much loved and spend much of our lives together singing together.

If you do not have this show available on DVD or Video, could you let me know when it will air again so I can tape it? 

Sincerely, A J

Hi This is J from Trion Georgia. I love to watch your show every Saturday morning.  You all are such a blessing to me. I watch you all on sky angel one (dish network).  I just thought I would write to you to say that I really enjoy watching Texas Country Gospel.  And another thing I was wondering about your CD's, I looked at the store you have online but I have no credit cards so I was just wondering if you took personal checks or money orders for the stuff you have on sale in the store.  If so, could you let me know cause I would love to have a CD.  The one I have been wanting is The Best of Connie Perry.  I know the CD's are $15.00 but how much is shipping.  If you could let me know I would really appreciate it very much. Tell every one I said hello from Trion.  Well, God Bless each and every one of you. Keep up the good work for the Lord.  Well, gonna go hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for your time and another thing I was wondering how I could get in touch with Marvin Marrow cause I enjoyed him too this past Saturday, that song he wrote Jake the Jesus man

dear jones family,1 a chord., my brother and his wife recently gave their live to the lord. they were baptized last week. they really enjoy your music, that is all they talk about. i have been downloading gospel music for them but they would really like to have some connie perry and 1 a chord and the jones family. do you think you could find it in your heart to maybe have the time to send them a picture or maybe a cd?. ,just a letter from you would really make their day. my brother suffers from hiv and his wife is real sick also. so please pray for them. their address is *west virginia. GOD BLESS YOU.

I have a friend who is wanting to play a couple of your songs at his church and is searching for the lyrics and chords to the song ' It's Jesus I'm Living for' and ' Angels Stood at Attention'.
If you could direct us where to find them or send them to us we would be greatful.

I enjoy your program very much and am pleased to see that you have DVDs also.  I will be placing another order soon....

We were wondering if there was a way for the lady that does sign language to be seen more in the songs. Also could you sing the song He brings me roses.

Howdy, Wondering if you could pass along some information about a guest on one of your broadcasts? I wasn't able to catch the entire show, which aired here on Sunday, February 26... I caught it on cable channel 10 in Dallas, routed thru/from #47 Greenville, Tx.

I'm trying to find out the performers full name & CD title. I believe the last name was Treece & the compact disc he has out had "Moon" in the title. Anything you could forward to me about this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance, R M 

BTW... while being unfamiliar with your show in the past, what I did catch was great & will look for it in the future!

Thanks...
