That song, The Lady of Medjugorje, became the inspiration for the To The World I collection of music and subsequent collections.

The To The World project itself is the result of the most moving spiritual experience I have ever known, one that brought me healing, reconciliation and a peace not of this world. While praying the rosary in the St. James Church with the local people and pilgrims, I was caught up in an ecstasy when I heard a very distinct voice say, "Come sing my songs to me; come sing my songs for me. Prepare the song. The song will be heard throughout the world even in different languages. We will give you the courage to do this." It seemed as though this dialogue took several minutes, and in its conclusion I was in awe shedding tears of joy and wonder from the experience. Upon sharing this encounter with my mother shortly thereafter, her words came as an immediate confirmation when she said, "Do whatever He tells you to do." These were the same words Mary said to the servants at Cana, the place where Jesus performed His first miracle.

I have drawn upon the strength of this experience many times as I bring the songs and messages TO THE WORLD. What you hear in this collection of music is the fruit of what the calling asked of me then and afterward.
