Paul Wilbur - what an amazing work in ministry you have done, bringing Messianic Jewish music to those of us all over the world, by connecting our Jewish roots as Christian believers in Yeshua (Jesus).
From your first album Harvest in 1979, to your most recent one Forever Good (2016) - I just ordered it! - you have done what no one else has done as much, by bringing the Jewish sound to the Christian community. What a joy it has been, and continues to be.
We sang your songs on our worship team in several churches, and with the Ahava Love Band.
We love you Paul Wilbur! Thank you for sharing your love for Yeshua, the God of Israel, and being a wonderful sound to the nations, in voice and instrument.
In Jesus' love we honor you,
Steve Martin
Founder/President
