What the kids are saying about Noteworthy Ministries

“The Lord Jesus always finds a way to minister to me.  He placed an opportunity before me to learn to play the guitar and never before had I envisioned this to come to pass.  Before each weekly guitar lesson, we open the Word of God; each of the Bible studies has taught me to look at my life and importantly to look to God….It has been a gift to learn to play the guitar and to have wonderful fellowship with other students.”

Vangie

“During my classes I learned a lot about God’s grace and about playing the guitar.  I learned that we are saved by grace through faith, and not by our works or any other means….During the guitar part of the class I learned how to play some songs that I never knew before.”
Nataniel

“It has given me a better look at how to play the guitar.  It also got me closer to my Lord Jesus Christ and showed how God can work in mysterious ways.”
Razvan

“I enjoy learning about the guitar; so when I really learn how I will play it for the Lord!  So thanks for giving me the opertunity[sp] to learn to play the guitar.”
Vanessa

“Guitar class is great and fun and very helpful of serving the lord more and more with music.”
Michelle

“I hope to learn as much as possible from these classes, not only about the guitar, but about the Bible also.  I’m looking forward to our upcoming classes and hopefully by the time they’re over, I’ll not only be able to play ‘Amazing Grace,’ but I’ll know the story behind it and I’ll be able to tell everyone all about God’s precious grace.”
Tiffany

“I would like to thank you for the opportunity to learn to play the guitar and to learn about Christ.  I think that your program is wonderful.  I hope that your program will continue to reach others and teach them about God and his will for their life.”

What program leaders are saying about Noteworthy Ministries

According to, “it is amazing to see the pride of accomplishment on the faces of these young men as they succeed at something totally new. The students learn to change the source of their self-esteem from engaging in delinquent acts to performing a newly leaned skill.”

Texas Youth Commission, Gainesville State School Chaplain Pamela Wiebe

The Amazing Grace Bible and Guitar class helps former juvenile offenders and those likely to commit crime have a healthy fun and educational activity.  Keeping kids involved with healthy activities such as guitar means less criminals in the community.
Chaplain Terry Dyer,  Air Chapel Community Learning Center, Denison, TX

Our young people are more unified as a result of this common learning experience.  Furthermore, they are more interested in participating in Sunday worship.
Pastor Dan Flores,  La Trinidad United Methodist Church, Fort Worth, TX

Thanks to your ministry, not only are our children touched, but lives of those around us are touched as well.  Thanks for your genuine love and giving.  We truly appreciate you.
Margaret O’ Quinn,  Still Creek Ranch, Bryan, TX

Thank you so much for coming to Jireh House and spending your precious time with our girls.  Your gift of love is so appreciated.  They will think of you every time they play their guitars.
