Praise God for the gift of your music. We hope to use He's Worthy with streamers to offer praise to the Lord at a Woman's retreat in June. My first time hearing your music was in Philadelphia this year. When I had opportunity to meet with you after the concert I shared with you how your praise blessed me. Well now,prayerfully,it will bless others also who may have not heard. To God be the Glory! Thank you for using your gift in such a powerful way. P.S. I also used your song Naaman to teach the children the biblical account during our evening Bible study class last month. It was great.It made the bible lesson come alive for them .Thanks and may God continue to bless you and allow you to continue being a blessing to others.

Allison,
I got to hear you at the Jubilee Conf. in Branson. Wow! You knocked our socks off. What a blessing it was. It was fun hearing you sing with Ben Speer, too. I bought your fav. cd and am camping on "Peace in the Midst of the Storm." Thank you for sharing God's joy.
I hope to see you again.

Blessings,
Janelle

Dear Allison and Brian,
You are a wonderful couple. Allison, your musical abilities are given to the Lord, and He is honoured. Fortunate to have heard you sing at several live concerts through the years, and observe your joyous spirit, it is no wonder you have people love you wherever you go!
Brian seems like a devoted husband and you must be very thankful to have such a capable manager who believes in you! Brian you are an excellent photographer...favourite photo of Allison is at your photo shoot where she is looking out the bricked wall window, as a frame for her beauty! Although it is difficult to have the photographer in the picture, it is great to see you both together in the photos. God bless your marriage, renewing your love and appreciation of each other. Together, you are making a difference!!
Your training of others, seems like a way of investing in eternal rewards! Blessings Sharon

Allison, thanks for a wonderful concert in Maryville, TN at Wilson's Chapel. We were so blessed by your amazing voice, sweet spirit and funny life stories. Your duets with Kirk Talley were awesome. Phil Cross and Poet Voices and First love were also terrific. We can't wait for your next CD release. We pray God will continue to bless you and Brian..you are a blessing to so many!

Allison, I just wanted to let you know that although you are not here in your childhood hometown, your music is. I play your CD's while I am sitting at my desk. I must say that I receive a true blessing in your music and the words that you share. I checked your schedule but you aren't schedule anywhere near hear until in June and that is in Somerset. Is that an open event for anyone to attend? I would love to see you again. Keep up the wonderful ministry. May God continue to enrich and bless both, you and Brian's lives.
Love in Christ,Ramona

Hi Allison, I just wanted to tell you that I was thinking about you and praying for you and the other Homecoming Friends as you did those first two concerts without Anthony at the piano. I read posts on Gaither.com about how they went and I know how hard that was for all of you. I admire you all for continuing to sing and worship the Lord even through the tears. That tells all of us fans how genuine you all are. There are times that I have pictured myself singing with all of you. It would be such a wonderful experience singing with a group that gets as deep into worship as you all do. I would love to get that deep into worship when I sing and haven't quite felt comfortable enough to just let myself go that far. So I admire all of you for that. Maybe that's one thing that I can fix at Stamps-Baxter. Anyway, I hope and pray that you all are alright after those difficult concerts. I love all of you so much. In Christian Love, Michelle Darling

Dear Allison,

Yesterday, my family drove almost five hours to the Homecoming Tour in Worcester, Mass. The piece of paper that we had listing all the artists that would be there didn't include you. I was overjoyed when I saw your booth and found out that you were in fact there. I have never been to a concert of any kind before and all I can say is IT WAS AMAZING!! I love your voice and the songs that you sing. I can't wait to see you again and maybe this time I'll get to meet you! Thank you so much-

Have enjoyed your music for many years. We were members of Pisgah Heights Baptist Church in Cincinnati, Ohio when you would come up from Kentucky to sing for us on Sunday Evenings. Have followed your ministry ever since. Would love to know if you will be in the Winston-Salem, NC area any time soon. Would love to see you in person again. Have watched almost all the Gaither Videos. God Bless you in all that you are doing. Laura Lewis

I grew up listening to the Speer family and I have my Grandmother's "shaped-note" song books. God bless you on the Journey. Heaven gets closer every day and my Mom and Dad are singing with all the singers, and piano players, who have gone Home to Glory !! Brock Speer was the best. I am glad Faye Speer rode on a 4 wheeler ! Thank you for sharing the pictures. God Bless you all!! Shirley Rick

Dear Allison, I can't even believe I have found a way to finally reach you all these years. The week I accepted the Lord into my life you happened to be the very first Gospel singer I had ever heard sing and the Lord spoke to me through you in such a mighty way. YOu probably can't remember me but I will always have a special place in my heart for you. It was in Merrillville Inidiana at Pastor Ron Richmond's church called the Southlake CHurch of the Nazarene on Route 30, Jesus had only been in my heart for 1 week, my husband and my oldest (only 1 1/2 years old then) met you in the lobby afterwards and you shared so much love and warmth to every person but I felt that you were there for me personally that day, I really needed to hear someone connect with me in the way of music since music was the only gift then that I had to give to Christ, I felt that through your music we connected. That day you shared with me that you truly only had one prayer request and that was to pray for direction for you and your spouse in having a child. Throughout the years not knowing how to reach you I wanted you to know so many times that I was infact praying for you and it wasn't an idle promise to pray, that I really and truly did...I never could find out what came of it? Along these past 15 years or so, I would play your cd's ( the only ones I could ever find...which are only 2) and You would help me find peace in the midst of the storm...which happens to be my favorite song you sing..I have got my very own fan club (unoffically) it's a group of friends that I played your music to and once they heard it they too were hooked...since the 2 cds I have purchased I have been unsuccessfully searching for more, my friends will ask me frequently if I can help them find any of your music and all I could do is direct them to the gaither tapes and the ones I already have. I know in my heart that your ministry is from GOd and that you have touched so many lives along the way, your rewards will be waiting for you in HEaven. Your inspiration in my life has lead to my ministry as well... I being a worship leader now and a licensed minister and soon to be missionary I find that when I am at my waekest He gives me strength and so many of those times I find hHis strength through your music...Like I said before music is my connection to Christ it is the gift GOd gave me way before I even knew Him and I use it to Glorify Him every single day of m,y walk with Him....Keep your faith and Keep on Singing..Even though not many have heard you the Lord tells me to tell you Matthew 25:21..."Well done good and faithful servant! You have been faithful...... I wish you all of the Lord's best my sister in Christ, Sincerely, Christina (and fans!) ps. I truly hope you get to read this and that I may get a chance to hear from you...maybe you'll get to come to my church and sing one day?

Enjoyed worshiping with you at Timothy Barnabas last week. When I heard you sing "Oh My Glory, Glory, Glory" I knew I had to share it with my kids - especially my 4 year old. We now have the CD and it is their number one requested song! Thank you for sharing your God given talent - what a blessing!

I just want to say that I thoroughly
reveive a blessing each time I watch and rewatch the Bill Gaither Homecomings. I was saddened to heat of Anthony Berger's death, but comfort is in knowing that he is truly home and reunited with all of the other saints of the Homecoming group. I pray God's blessing and comfort for his family.
God bless all of you as you minister through your music.

Allison,
What a joy and a privilege to have been able to hear you at Beulah Camp on two different occasions. I see by your schedule that you will be at Beulah again in 2007. looking forward to your ministry at that time. I am able to hear your music as I have all of your CD's.
You make all you come in contact with feel very special and important.
Thank you for your wonderful servant attitude. May the Lord continue to use you each and every day.

Dear Miss Allison,

We got to hear you sing at Central Baptist Church in Warner Robins, GA. It was truly a blessing. My Mom has had musical training, and she could only say, "She has an AMAZING voice." Thank you so much for sharing your talent and vibrancy with us. Also, God bless you as you go to school.

Love in Christ,
Sharon

Allison I was rewatching the Gaither video Isreal last night and again this morning and I have never been so moved as I was when you sang On This Rock. The look on Mark Lowrey's face said it all. It was truely anointed. Thanks continue to be a blessing. jim

We met briefly at your booth during the Gaither concert in Lakeland FL a few years ago. I commented on your sign language and told you my parents were deaf and I spoke sign language as well. I want to commend you for supporting Kirk Talley during this difficult and challenging time for him. From one who "has been there," I know that the love and support of friends is crucial. I see you are singing with him at a concert in March. Good for you! You have no idea what that kind of support means to someone going through what Kirk is going through! After meeting you, I was so impressed with your graciousness, friendliness and wonderful sense of humor, I'm not surprised you're the kind of person who would stand by Kirk. Thank you!

Allison, Thank you so much for the honor of your presence at First Baptist Church of Acworth. The Lord has surely annoited you with an awesome talent and His spirit. We were so fortunate to have someone of your caliber to visit out small church. I'm sure your beautiful music and sweet spirit not only blessed me but everyone else. It was such a thrill to be allowed to accompany you on the piano. I look forward to hearing you again. May God continue to bless you for your inspiration and the use of His gift of music for the glory of the Lord!!

Hi Allison, I am Shannon Robinson from the Caribbean Island of Jamaica. I just want to let you know that I really enjoy your singing and really ponder what it will be like when we get to heaven and sing so angelically. My favourite is "The Love Of God" which tell us about the length and breadth of His love for us. When will you be coming to Jamaica for a concert?

If Bill Gaither had never begun captioning his programs or his videos, I'd have never known who you are.
I'm totally Deaf (haven't heard a thing since 1971). With captioning I, too, was able to enjoy seeing you sing, "I Will Glory In The Cross."

I wish you had lyrics of this and other songs, you sing.

Dear Allison,
I live in Louisville and know your Aunt Judy. She wanted me to contact you about some songs my mother has written. They have never been sung by anyone except my family. If you are interested, contact me by e-mail and tell me what the next step is. Judy said you are always looking for new songs. We love your voice and spirit.

Hi Allison, I just wanted to tell you that I was watching the Indiana Pacers game Saturday night and they showed you singing part of the National Anthem. I was hoping they would show it. So when I saw part of it I was really thrilled. You just brought down the arena with that. You did a wonderful job. I knew you would. I hope you are teaching at Stamps-Baxter again. I would love to have you help train me. You are a great inspiration to those of us who dream of becoming singers and a great communicator to your audiences. Again, great job and see ya soon. God bless you. In Christian Love, Michelle Darling

I remember a long time ago, in Danville,Ky. There was this Angel, with the most crystal clear, and pure voice I had ever heard. I'm glad that you're still singing. I played piano for "Step One", My Grandfather was G.F. Crank. Best wishes.

Allison,

I love your voice. I have seen you in concert at First Baptist Morristown,TN and First Baptist Sevierville, TN. You have a god given voice. What is so special about you singing at FBC Sevierville in aug of 2005 is Adrian Rogers preached that night, and that was to my knowledge one of the last messages he preached before his cancer. It was a wonderful night of worship and preaching. One more thing, my favorite song you sing is "He's Worthy". God bless

Hi Allison, I love to hear you sing. God has blessed your voice so much. Are you going to be teaching at Stamps-Baxter again? I saw a picture of you and a little girl and you were discussing her performance. After asking you and Ben alot of guestions about the school, I finally got signed up to go and I would love to get the chance that the little girl got and get your opinion on one of my performances. I hope those two weeks will be a time when God will show me if he wants me in a music career. I hope 27(28 by Stamps-Baxter time)isn't too old to start. I know you started at 20. You and the other homecoming artists are such an inspiration to me and it makes me want to be up there singing with the rest of you. You are a musical role model for me. Keep singing for the Lord and I'll see you this summer down at Stamps-Baxter. Love you, Michelle Darling

I'm ELATED to have found you again!!! Back in the early/mid 90's I purchased a cassette of Walk Into Freedom and absolutely LOVED it. It was definitely music before its time. I thought I had lost it until this past weekend when I was cleaning out boxes of "stuff" and found it! Hallelujah!! When I have searched for your music through CBD, I could never find it. But today I "googled" you and was brought right to your web address. Can't wait to hear your new music. One last request...what are the chances of buying accompaniment tracks for "Walk Into Freedom", "Mighty River" and "Signs A Broken Heart Can't Hide"???? God Bless you and your awesome voice, Allison!!!
