Marked By Love is a Salvation Army music group fronted by a female vocal trio and based in the Southern Ontario area. We are all committed Christians and active Salvationists.
Things Thought Impossible is the product of many months of preparation, of highs and lows. The journey has reminded us that, truly, nothing is impossible with God! We give God all the glory and trust He’ll use it for His honour.
Thank you for supporting The Salvation Army’s work in South Africa. All proceeds from this CD project go to the Ethembeni Babies Home in Johannesburg. Please visit www.markedbylove.com for more information.
Thank you to Lt.-Colonels Wayne and Myra Pritchett, all our friends at Guelph Citadel, Andrew Cherry and the John F. Ross CVI Music Department, Lt.-Colonels Lloyd and Margaret Hetherington for the use of their African drum, Len Marshall for his help with the layout, Chris Hann for his photo editing, and Phil Laeger for the use of his beautiful song “I Surrender”.
Thank you Ted for your insight, knowledge, patience, time, and for sharing this experience with us.
An extra special thank you to our families who do so much to keep us going. Thanks for your love, patience, support, prayers, encouragement, musical input, babysitting, manual labour, providing places to rehearse, and for all the food!! We love you.
Above all else, thank you God. You are our Light and Song – the One who does not change. Thank you for Your faithfulness and for taking an “impossible” thing and making it a reality.
