   I love all of you guys, especially because of who you stand for and how you persevere against all odds. You go to great lengths and make huge sacrifices to reach people for the Lord Jesus Christ. And while the beautiful, GOD given, treasure that you share with us is certainly your music that isn’t my favorite part of your show (surprisingly). After the anointing has fallen over the room Joe comes out from behind those drums and delivers a fresh, timely message. You declare the WORD of the Lord and it penetrates our hearts. Many times you’ll give an alter call and many will recieve Jesus! This is just one of the many reasons I will always pray for your family as if it was my own. And I will support your ministry with every ability GOD gives me to do so. I felt you should know, I am more of a partner than a fan. Thank you for the encouragement, the inspiration and love. GOD BLESS you and your family!

   Floshizzle,

   Thanks for the encouragement. It’s cool to have true brothers like you and Perry! Have a great Thanksgiving! Hope to see you in San Jose for the Christmas tour!

   Hi Joe!

   My wife and I, along with other friends from the Victory Christian Fellowship (Manila) watched your concert in Araneta last night (Nov. 30th) and I must say we were truly blessed with your preaching! I know, we tend to focus on the lack sometimes than the blessings…but as you said, no matter what happens, if you seek God’s kingdom first, you can have a life that’s “full”! Thanks for that reminder! and thanks for the Katinas’ music too! You continue to inspire more people to come to know God better! We hope to have you around in Manila again! God bless you all!

   Hi Joe! I watched your concert last Nov. 30 here at Manila. Your message of the Full Life blessed me so much! I was reminded of His love for me. Though I’m not somebody who’s perfect but I know I’m living a Full Life because of Jesus Christ! You guys are awsome and I love your latest album! Thanks for being a blessing to me! God bless your ministry!

   Dear Katina family,

   My son & I loved seeing you for the 1st time in Philly. I shared with you how your music taught me how to praise & worship the Lord. I now share with you that it has done the same for my 8 yr old son. I witnessed for the 1st time my son raise his hand to the Lord in praise while listening to “Everlasting God”. We bought the “Still” CD & he has worn out that song. We played it 8X’s in a row while decorating our Christmas tree & I finally had to put my foot down & say “NO MORE!” Thank you for posting your tour dates. It’s how we knew you were in town. Thank you for touring.

   God Bless & Merry Christmas!

    Jasmine & Cristian,

    Happy New Year!

    Joe,
    Here’s my situation. Last January my husband lost his job. 9 mos. ago his father passed away from a brain tumor. This past August, his mother invited us to reside w/her thinking it would help us all out which it did because she’s not lonely and we don’t have this enormous rent to pay! But she now has Demensia/Alzheimers which is another challenge for us as a family.
    Just today, we were talking about a “Get Away”! So, out of curiosity, how much of a discount are you talking about for the 2010 cruise? Please let me know!

    Kuzin Janice,

    I’m sorry to hear about what you’ve been going through. Hold on! Keep the faith! God always comes through right on time! We would love for you to come and “Get Away” with us on next year’s cruise. Please call Niel at 615-302-2939. He will be able to give you the breakdown/discount price for the cruise.

    Hope this helps you out.

    God’s presence was amazing in the service! It’s always a special blessing to be with you all at the Rock in San Diego. You’re doing a great job with your boys. Please tell them hello.

    Hi Joe!
    I met a guy the other day, found out he is a Christian. Started talking about his brother who’s one of the childrens ministry pastors at the Rock Church in San Deigo! I asked him, “So you know who the Katinas are?” he told me, “the Katinas are one of my favorite bands! In fact, I’m a drummer and I like to mimick the drummer.” I was excited to finally meet someone who knows who the Katinas are! Thought you’d be encouraged by this!
    I tried to get hold of Niel, called the number you gave me but have gotten no response about the cruise. Thought I’d try one more time with you. If you have any information, please let me know. Thanks and God bless!

    Hi Joe! Janice again, Niel got hold of me via phone! My husband and I put it in prayer and feel led to go on the cruise! Can’t wait, we really need some time away.
    I was at church in Chino Valley today. Read the bulletin and noticed you’re joining us for worship on the 25th! Pastor David said you had sent him an e-mail! Looking forward to seeing you all again! God bless you and your brothers as He has worked so powerfully through you and your ministry. I’ve been listening to your music for the past 6 years and can feel the presence of the Lord flowing through your music more and more as the years go by! You’re in our prayers!

    Your testimony tonight (in Fort Lauderdale) was truely inspiring…and I’m serious! Like it really made me think. It confirmed why I wait on God instead of trying to do this thing called life in my own strength. By the end of the concert, there was this quiet decision in my heart to seek after God and to seek to know him. I noticed a theme about God’s agape love in your music and it made me just take a sigh of relief as well as to take in a breath of God’s refreshing acceptance. It was powerful!

    Also, I am so happy that God has given you a wife with the wisdom to determine not to give up in that storm/fire….lol, I’ve been quoting her all night!… “We’re gonna go through the fire but will not be burned!”

    God bless! And thanks to all of you for leading us into God’s presence tonight!

    While I remind everyone ALL the time, with the amount of fans you come in contact with you probably do not remember, but in 89 at Capital Christain Center, Pastor Glen Cole, I was employed as a Supervisor, Custodial, Maintenance, Sercurity, and several other hats. I help you take down the stage and carry some things to the bus and you asked me If I’d like to drive your bus on that tour. So, I couldnt then, but I have permission from Judy to drive you all around during the summer. I teach Special Ed at a Jr High and have the summer off. I will volunteer, you just gotta feed me! (-: See you all April 25th at CCC.

    Hello everyone,

    Been a while since I’ve stopped by this part of the blog. Thanks so much for your words of encouragement. Keep fighting the good fight. Let love and peace be your compass. Remember, no matter what your circumstances might be, God will bring you through. Just be obedient to His word!

    Hello, Joe!

    I hope that they are excellent and gozandose in the presence of our one God and Savior Jesus Christ.
    I hope that very soon we are visiting in the country of Mexico, the truth is that we hope will soon be upon us who enjoyed his music and his presence. Mexico will receive them with open arms and hope that very soon I will respond as they have written but I never replied.
    God continue to bless them abundantly in the way of praise and worship to our God …

    Hello!
    Beautiful family … They are a great family show a great union between you, the Family Katina …
    The truth is that I love your music, not to write, but very honest what I write, I do not know physics, but their voices heard along with the music and I am pleased that together with her preaching and Beautiful Big Love of Almighty God …
    God continue to bless them abundantly and keep you and continue to give them intelligence to compose music and lyrics to praise Him, and thus also shared the love and the wonderful treasures we have when we are heavily in the mighty hand of God our Father and taking their Son, our Savior in our hearts …
    A big hug from my heart and best wishes to you Joe and your beautiful family …

    Thank you very much for taking time out of you busy schedule and worshipping with us in Omaha at Eagle’s Nest. My family and I are enjoying the DVD and CD’s we purchased. We are looking forward to worshipping again with you in the future (prayerfully, I won’t have to wait until you come for another “Christmastime” concert). God bless you and your family!

    have a Dream. To be healthy and strong, that my legs would carry me without pain, giving me the opportunity to play to the fullest with my 9 Grandkids. This is coming, becausue it is also a prayer, and prayer tha the LORD has heard, and is leading. I was very sorry and down when after having breakfast with you all on Saturday at Capital Christian, and then being ministered to my sould by the anointing the Holy Spirit puts on your every song, your every breath, that later that night the swelling and pain were simply too much to make it to your Saturday night performance. THIS I COULD NOT BELIEVE, nor could my wife, that I was just minutes from you, and could not make it to partake in the live blessing. Yesterday, Monday, they no say its a Blood Clot, so for now the plan is to attack it with massive blookd thinners. Cant wait to see you ALL, and get a chance to literally sit and share with you after 20+ years, how GOD has used each of you in my walk! I LOVE YOU! Your music and Ministry are OFF THE CHART! You new DVD/CD, is the ULTIMATE in Praise and Worship……BLESSINGS……with all lmy heart!
35. Posted 5.2.2009 By Chris Smith

    Greetings in LORD again my Brother. Just had to let you know that my step Son Jeremy (oneof 3, check out my albums) and I just watched your DVD. For me, well BRO, I have watched it, cried with it, laughed with it, praised the name of JESUS with it at least ONCE a day since it came in the mail. Today Jeremy joined me, raising hands in my living room, crying out to the LORD! There is something about the anointing on this DVD, and you guys have never done so much for the cause of Christ!!!!! I AM BLESSED. I will be coming soon somewhere to see you guys, and hopefull bring Judy this time, this summer, somewhere, even asking Greg Miller is we can book you again at CLC in UTAH…MY heart is filled with complete joy as I pray for you, your brothers and your families. I cannnot thank you enough, and look foward to a time that the Lord might allow me to share my testimoney with you…LOVE YA

    Hi Joe,

    I just wanted to drop in and say hello. It was such a blessing to meet you when you were here last week in San Jose @ The Point. I initially went to see Adeaze, but was pleasantly suprised to hear/see you there as well. I have been a fan of your group for a couple years, and it was great to meet you and your son. The message you delivered was so on point. Thanks for that! You have a gift of delivering the message, while making the audience feel like we’re just shootin’ the breeze with an old friend. God bless you and your family,a nd may God’s hand continue to be in all that you strive to achieve. God willing, my family and I will see you on the cruise. Take care.

    Blessings,

    Joe,

    You are truly one of my favorite persons because you radiate the Love and Compassion of Jesus to everyone you meet. I am proud to call you my big brother – even if it’s an honorary title! Thank you for your love and prayers! I miss you guys, and hope you can all make a trip to the Portland area soon so you can see your “nieces” again and meet your new “nephew”! (Gabriel WesLee was born 4 weeks ago today)! He looks a lot like Lee, as well as his two big sisters, and maybe there’s a little bit of Mommy in him, too! I put some pics on fb, but if you don’t have an account, I’m sure James would let you look them up on his account! Actually, you probably have access to the Katina fb page, so you could get on from there, duh!

    Anyway, I love you big brother, and I’m praying for you guys and your families! Take care!

    Love your sister,
