HELLO FRIENDS,  I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO
MEET MY NEW FRIEND, GARY MATTHEWS.
GARY LIVES IN COLORADO, AND USE TO SPEND HIS DAYS AND NIGHTS ENTERTAINING IN SATAN'S WORLD OF NIGHTCLUBS AND BARS.

THEN THE LORD SPOKE TO HIM AND ALSO WITH THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF HIS FORMER PASTOR AND WIFE, BECAME BORN AGAIN.
HE HAS A BRAND NEW VENUE NOW IN WHICH TO USE HIS TALENTS THAT THE LORD GAVE HIM.  HE IS A RECORDING ARTIST AND A MINISTER OF MUSIC.  HE WRITES ALL HIS SONGS AS THE LORD GIVES THEM TO HIM AS WELL AS THE MUSIC.  HE IS A BLESSING WHEREVER HE GOES.  HE HAS HELPED TO WIN COUNTLESS SOULS TO THE LORD AND IS AN INSPIRATION TO MANY. 

OUR NEW FRIEND PHYLLIS DOUGLAS MENTIONS HIS SONG "THE HEALER" WHICH MINISTERED TO HER SPIRIT WHILE SHE WAS BATTLING WITH BREAST CANCER.  SHE FOUND HIS WEB PAGES WHILE SURFING THE INTERNET AND FOUND "THE HEALER" IN MORE THAN ONE WAY.  THE TRUE PHYSICIAN BROUGHT HER
THROUGH HER BATTLE AND SHE IS A CANCER
SURVIVOR TODAY.  PRAISE GOD FOR USING
GARY'S MUSIC TO MINISTER TO HER.  SHE SENT HER WEBPAGES TO GARY AFTER SHE JOINED US ON THE FRIENDS SITE.  HE SIGNED MY GUESTBOOK, AND IN WRITING TO THANK HIM, I LEARNED ABOUT HIS MINISTRY AND FELT IMPRESSED BY THE LORD TO INVITE HIM TO BE A PART OF US HERE AT SHY'S FRIENDS.

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR MUSIC, AND THE LORD HAS LAID UPON MY HEART SINCE I HAVE BEEN SAVED, TO REACH OUT TO MUSICIANS WHO HAVE LEFT A LIFE OF SIN AND ARE GIVING THERE TIME AND GIFTS TO SERVE THE LORD.  LET'S WELCOME GARY HERE AND LET HIM KNOW THAT HE IS APPRECIATED.
HE HAS SEVERAL CD'S FOR SALE, AND I DON'T NORMALLY ALLOW PLUGS FOR ADVERTISING ON MY WEBSITES, BUT I FEEL THAT IF IT IS FOR THE LORD'S KINGDOM, IT IS A MOST WORTHY CAUSE.  SO IN THIS CASE I TAKE EXCEPTION.
BUT ANY TRANSACTIONS THAT MIGHT BE MADE ARE BETWEEN GARY AND WHO EVER CONTACTS HIM.

IN CHRIST' LOVE, SHY

These picture focus on different times in my life.  The assistant pastor and his wife the Ceravallos encourage me to write music for the Lord, and to sing in church, which I did.  When I asked Bro. Ceravallos why there was no applause, he said,
"This is not a nightclub."  Your're singing to the Lord.  I had just gotten saved and I did not know.
He put his arm around me and said, "I know you didn't"....and I have been Praising God and singing in church wherever I can since. 

Brother Ceravallos went home to be with the Lord about 5 years ago.

The above picture is of me on the left and my brother.  He spent a half a lifetime in Hawaii on
the big island of Oahu.  He was murdered in
1998, before then I had the privilege of leading
him to the Lord.

"MY SAVIOR MAN"
Song Tracks are available of this album to sing in church
by simply writing to Gary at   b44g@comcast.net

Dear Friends, this" Mr. Savior Man" album is part of the work
that the Lord has laid out before me.  The first three songs
literally put the listener there with Jesus.  Written from
a disciple's perspective, as a Christian this privilege
was given to me as God's will for my life
and  to me it is my manifest destiny.
And For the sake of the cross 
This album describes the highs and lows
the ups and downs of being a Christian.
Torn between heaven and hell, I chose the Messiah
Yeshua Jesus.  I fell in love with the idea
that there was a Savior,
who died just for me. That there was something else
in a dying world besides the pathetic evening news.
That there was another music besides the jungle beat
of rap and heavy metal and the Black Sabbath baptism
of the children of disobedience. That there was a light
that was shining before them.  So bright that the darkness
had to flee. When I saw that light I gave all I had to Christ.
And now I am on a quest standing before God
and the people. As the songwriter of the people
for the people  to touch their hearts with my
gospel music ministry.  My joy is knowing that
people are being ministered to with this uplifting
positive gospel sound where there is no darkness
no shadow of turning.  Where the light is so bright
that there's nothing else to do but rejoice and reflect
on the greatness of our Lord Jesus Christ.  

For to this end was I called.
I want to thank you for hearing this
music and reading this info and and may the Lord bless you
as he has blessed me.
hallelujah praising God makes  This  my finest hour.

Special announcement
What I need in 2006 is a computer expert that knows all the different veins of advertising
promotion distribution and all of these specialties that go with music promotion.
To come in to the ministry and first of all who loves it, loves the music.
To come in and manage the aspects of the  Gary Matthews gospel music ministry.
This relationship would free  me up to just do the writing and singing and songwriting.
As the Lord directs.  This person is overqualified, overwhelming and over able
to do everything in that aspect of the music business.  GM

GARY'S MOM
Hello my dear shy
I'm a little late.  I couldn't find the picture.  This is my mother, Verna Matthews.
She was a Sunday school teacher for the first Baptist Church on Fairmount Avenue San Diego.
One day I called and said mom I got saved.  Then she told me.  Son I've been praying
for you for 30 years.  Thank God it finally come true.  Mother went home to be with the Lord
in 1997 Thanksgiving Day.  And I wrote the number 4 song on the Mr. Savior album
Called Manifest Destiny, as a dedication to her.  If you can use this.  It is good GM God bless you
A great picture of Gary having

fun with his grand daughter.

Grandchildren are so very

special and a wonderful gift

from God.
