Laurie Marks Vincent: Testimony

Laurie has been singing in church since she was 6 or 7 years old.  She always loved Jesus as a little girl but she dedicated her life to The Lord when she was 10 years of age and recalls "the call" to ministry ever since that time. Laurie was also dedicated to pursuing her gift with excellence. She has won the title of "Best Female Vocalist" in three Talent Searches which included one duet category with her sister.  Laurie also won a Talent Search by audience appeal (largest number of votes) with no supporting fans in the audience. She had released 2 recordings "Sharing His Love" and "When You Reached In My Heart" and her third Cd was released in 2004 entitled "Love So Amazing".  The title track "Love So Amazing" has been in the top 50 of the American Idol Underground Faith Charts, 7 times and reached as far as #6 on the chart among over 600 songs in the running. In 2010, Laurie released a new CD entitled "Tell The Story", a mix of Inspirational and contemporary hymns. Over the years, she has also had the privilege of sharing her testimony and music on national television several times, done radio interviews and her her music has been played on Christian radio, predominantly in Canada, as well as Europe and United States

Married to Scott Vincent in 1987, with two boys, Brandon and Kyle, Laurie struggled with the onset of a chronic condition.  She suffered for 13 years, and then The Lord completely healed her from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatique and Depression
in 2001.  God turned what the enemy meant for evil, into good.  Since then, she has made several Christian television appearances including 100 Huntley Street and began speaking at Women's Ministries, sharing her testimony and from the Word. She has seen many ladies commit their lives to the Lord and receive healing, all for God's glory. Laurie finds that God's presence is gentle, sweet, very tender and peaceful during opportunities to minister and pray with the women.  But Laurie always claims, "God can do whatever He desires through me and He will show himself however He deems fit."   

Musically she has shared the stage with many prominent Canadian Christian Music Artists and a few American ones too.  Since 1988, she has shared the stage with prominent Canadian Christian artists such as His Season, Mark Masri, The Toronto Mass Choir, Dan Macaulay, Marlene O'Neill, Lost Coin, the Torchmen Quartet, The Hilton Family, Lianna Klassen and Cheryl Dunn. Many years ago she has also opened for Mike Failla, worship leader of Kindgom Bound Festivals.  Laurie has also opened a concert for Bob Kilpatrick, who is known as the writer of many classic worship songs of the church including the song "In My Life, Lord Be Glorified". She opened a concert for Anadara, the newest artist signed to the Spring Hill Music and recently in 2011 opened a concert for Gaither Artist, Lynda Randle.

Her music has been played on Christian radio, largely in Canada as well as some in Europe and United States.

Laurie has shared her testimony and music ministry on National and Regional Christian Television.  She has been invited to return to these programs several times to minister.

Through the Lord's leading, in 2008 Laurie was invited by Rev. Allen Cuffey to sign with Great Spirit Records based out of New York, as a recording artist.

She neither looks for awards, accolades or prestige to be granted but accepts bookings from the smallest to largest venue as the Lord opens the opportunity to minister.
