Ray,
     First of all, thank you for the two prayer books (Gospel of John) you gave
me Wednesday afternoon at the CrossMix booth.  I'll keep one with me when I
travel and the other I will give to someone in need.
     I am not a DJ, but would like to be one.  There is no doubt my being at the
Mobile Beat 2004 DJ show was mere happenstance.  It happened for a reason.
     Let me give you just a little background:  I have the primary responsibility
for caring for my two sons, ages 12 and 16.  I transport them to and from
school and I also do after school activities with them, prepare dinner and
do the homework thing.  I wanted to attend the DJ conference, but was
apprehensive about leaving them.  With the blessing of my wife she sent me
to Las Vegas.  
     Wednesday morning I flew out of Ontario Airport.  It seemed whatever man-made obstacles were in the way, the Holy Spirit cleared them. I arrived, checked into the hotel without a reservation, registered for the conference "at a huge discount" and my first conference was "True Lies."
     Upon registering for the conference, the young lady explained what was available that day.  She made a point to say, and she whispered to me, ". . .. they aren't really a part of us."  At that moment she had my attention.  I thought to myself, "Christian DJ's, how cool!"  But even more, since she seemed somewhat indifferent, that was more reason why I should check out "True Lies."
     The True Lies presentation was profound.  It made me realize that DJ's play such a significant role in presenting music to teens and young adults.  The aimless selection and playing of a popular song that has a wonderful beat, but is laced with profanity, hatred and degrades women is not a responsible thing to do.
     I applaud everyone's efforts at CrossMix.  I received a powerful wake-up call Wednesday afternoon.  I will now be more vigilant with what my kids watch on television, the games played on their Playstation II and ultimately the music I intend to play in the future.  If the "True Lies" presentation has an impact on other DJs the way it impacted me, then the mission of CrossMix would be nearly complete.  Thanks again Art.

All the best,

Jay M. Collins

Dear Ray Mar
      Greetings to you and yours from (the very cold and snowy) North Idaho.  We just got a call from Johnny D. down in Boise in regard to a couple looking for a Christian DJ for their wedding. Now Johnny would love to do this event but he is already booked. So, how does one find another Christian DJ in the area?  They go to CrossMix and look up the members. Now we have not booked the show (yet), but this is not the first time that someone has found us through the CrossMix website.  
     I just wanted to say thank you and all the others that are involved in making this website happen. Monica and I are sitting here right now designing our website and like to use the symbol from CrossMix. Once we have the site done, I would like to get the address to you and maybe have it added to your membership listing.
      Just a quick note to say thank you and to wish you and yours the best for this new year.

May God Bless you and keep you,

Dear Ray Martinez,

     Mega blessings to you and to Cross Mix.  AirOne Mobile DJ's is a Christian-based business and would like inclusion to your Christian Business directory.  Our name is scripture based.  "Air" is taken from 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18, basically the rapture verse.  "One" is from Acts 2:1, the introduction of the Holy Spirit to the Apostles. We are non-denominational but full gospel.  Instead of segregating ourselves into playing just Christian music, we play Christian and secular music for all events with one exception, we will not play any music that has objectionable lyrics (i.e. pertaining to sex, violence or bad language.) We are insulated but not isolated.
     Our covering is at Word of Life Christian Center in Lone Tree Colorado pastored by Dr. Mark T. and Gayla Bagwell http://www.wolcc.net - Esther Herdt there will provide you a reference to the type of business we operate and our service to God and the church. Call us if you would like more information and may God prosper you one hundred fold with your ministry.

Hello Ray,

     I hope this note finds you well. I apologize for not sending this sooner, but I just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to meet you in Atlantic City. Your seminar was a refreshing breath of fresh air in this sometimes dog-eat-dog world. I admire the passion & conviction with which you spoke.
     It's been a while, & you have meet so many new faces, I don't know if you will remember me, I was the one you met from the Maine Disc Jockey Network when you ran into Steve Fernino the afternoon before your seminar.
     I would love to hear more information about Crossmix, I recognize many members on the list, & am interested. I am also curious to know how you got to meet with George Bush , & Tony Bennett :-)

Once again Ray, it was a pleasure to meet you,  I hope we keep in touch! God Bless & Take Care!

Sincerely,

Dear CrossMix:
I am a mobile DJ in Canada (Edmonton, Alberta). I have been with Kapers Kustom Entertainment for 14 years and bought the company six years ago. I was raised in B.C. in a Mennonite community and attended a private Christian school from grade 8 through 11 so I knew about Christ and His salvation. When I moved to Edmonton in 1980 I drifted away from God for about 18 years. In October of 1998 I attended a service at a church that was in the warehouse right next to our office and the Lord really started to speak to me. I cried out to Him and opened my Bible at the same time and it fell open to Luke 15. Well, I knew that God was calling me home, so I returned to Him. I dedicated my business to the Lord in January of 1999 and since then He has been leading me in a powerful way. He brought about a series of seemingly negative events which had a very positive outcome allowing us to pay off the previous owner in full.

God also removed all five of the non-Christian DJs from our company and He is now in the process of bringing Christian DJs to us. Through it all I have had to do nothing except be faithful and patient. Kapers is still in operation for now, but !PRAISE is the name of the new company. I have been blessed with Christian events even through Kapers, but I know the Lord has some plans for !PRAISE in the future. Currently we have temporary offices in our church (Christ Family Fellowship) and we are in transition but to what extent I do not know yet. I have connected with several churches, youth leaders and also with the local Christian radio station and I am receiving support wherever I go. It is hard to be patient and leave Christ in control (this is my biggest ongoing battle), but I know that He will bring the business about if I yield all things to Him. I would appreciate any information about Crossmix that you have and let me know if there is a Canadian registry yet. I currently have only email for !PRAISE and it is: praise@kapersdj.com. Our Kapers website for now is www.kapersdj.com  pray God's blessing upon your work. 

Sincerely,

Harlley Snow

To Those in Service of the Lord, 

I have finally found a respectable and informative website dedicated to Christian DJ's, truly awesome! I am very interested in becoming a member of your organization, so that I too may be of service to the Lord through my business. Since I have found your website, I've decided to turn my business over to the Lord in all his glorious compassion and grace and you know it feels terrific! Through membership in your organization I hope I'll be able to reach a wider array of faithful people and DJ's, also I am, to my knowledge, the only Christian DJ in all of northern Nevada, awesome!
