……. Transformed by God's grace, Rick and Bebe Svenddal left the night club scene they knew so well to take Good News -- and good music -- wherever they could. In the years since then, their foot-tapping, soul-stirring blend of Gospel, Country, and Blue Grass has entertained and ministered to crowds from young to old. Even more, their infectious enthusiasm for the Lord has shown many that Jesus is the answer for their troubles….. we are proud to include them in the membership of Cloquet Gospel Tabernacle!
Pastor Rich Doebler, Cloquet Gospel Tabernacle, Cloquet, MN
”Rick & Bebe overflow with the joy of the Lord! Their two-month
ministry with us here in Colombia has broken through language and
cultural barriers to touch many lives with the love of the Lord”
Russell & Marina Stendal, Colombia para Cristo Ministries, Bogota, Colombia
'Rick and Bebe have been to Sawyer Chapel
regularly in my 15 year tenure here at this Church. They
have demonstrated flexibility, and connect very well relationally
with our people. They are not just performers they truly
are ministers. Our people have appreciated their ministry
over the years, and never tire of their music or ministry
style. Not only are they very professional musicians,
they are very personable with the people and annointed
in ministry."
Pastors Bill & Diane Sutter,
Sawyer Chapel, Sawyer, MN
"Rick and Bebe Svenddal have been a huge blessing to the Tenstrike Community Church and to me (its' Pastor) for the past 20 years or so. Their hearts seem to relate to all ages as they minister the Gospel through both song and spoken word.
They are anointed by the Holy Spirit, and bring a levity, which
makes it much easier to receive the often serious messages they have to
share. I know of no other evangelists where I have witnessed a stronger
anointing specifically on their altar calls for salvation. I highly
recommend them to you!

I have known Rick and Bebe Svenddal for the past 14 years and have
closely observed their spiritual growth and success of their ministry.
They both are anointed and dedicated to minister in any and every door of opportunity open to them. Their ministry has blessed and encouraged believers and touched the hearts of unbelievers who have heard them.
Rick and Bebe are exceptionally gifted musicians who understand the unsaved culture after having been saved and delivered from years of secular entertainment. Their testimony is sincere and convicting.
I have observed their sound Christian character and godly integrity as well as their humble willingness to serve.
I can honestly and sincerely recommend them as certified ministers of the Gospel.
I serve as Senior Pastor and Chairman of Shell Lake Full Gospel Church and World Harvest Outreach. I also serve as a member on the National Board of the International Ministerial Association.
Sincerely in Christ
, Pastor Virgil Amundson
My little girl gave her heart to Jesus when Rick and BB came to minister at our church. At the end of the concert Rick asked those who wanted to receive Christ to raise their hands. My daughter raised her hand but it was after the service the commitment of this ministry couple really showed. BB went out to the playground where my daughter was and told her she saw her raise her hand. Then BB talked with my daughter and prayed with her to receive Christ. The experience was genuine and my child became a child of God.
Rick and BB are real. They are sincere ministers willing to go the extra step to see people know and serve God.

Rick and Bebe have been a tremendous blessing to us at Wilderness Ministries!
For the past 10 or so years they have blessed us with their presence and participation at the Wilderness Ministries Bible camp. While ministering in song and in word, they have had a powerful impact on many people of all ages; not only in what they had to say, but also in their caring and compassionate ministry to all the campers and staff, all around the camp ground, at any hour of the day! Rick and Bebe have shown the love of Christ through their servant attitude time and time again, year after year. Putting Jesus Christ first, leading by example, the truth of the Gospel has been able to shine through where words have been inadequate.
We are very happy to say that they have truly become part of the 'family' at Wilderness Ministries.

I have known Rick and Bebe for 20 of the 28 years I have been in the ministry. I have watched them grow and mature in the Lord and become true spiritual warriors. I have always enjoyed their music, but in the last few years they have developed even greater quality of sound and presentation. Their music touches the heart and soul of their audience and crosses racial, ethnic, and socio-economic boundaries.
Rick and Bebe are two of the most generous open-hearted people I know. They are not afraid to go where God leads them-whether the plains of northern Canada, the jungles of Colombia, or anywhere in between. No church is too insignificant, no offering too small. I have personally known and observed their sacrifice and love for the Lord and His people.
I recommend them to you and your church wholeheartedly and without any reservations. They will be a blessing to your fellowship and your community
Pastor Jim Joseph, Living Waters Fellowship A/G Two Harbors, Minnesota
