I would very much like to take this opportunity to introduce to you a truly wonderful new gospel music group, Last Generation.  This group recently performed a concert here at Christian Faith, and they were great.  It is rare in this day and age to find a group that not only loves the Lord and what they do; but does so under the very evident anointing of the Holy Spirit.  I highly recommend Mike and Karen Matieszyn of Last Generation to you and your congregation you will be greatly blessed by their ministry.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for Last Generation’s recent ministry at Westfield Assembly of God.  I am delighted with your ministry and encourage you to press on in your calling.  I found your traditional gospel music style to be delivered in a wonderful atmosphere of exalting Christ and with a passion for lost souls.  I am very appreciative of your humble demeanor on the platform.  Your balanced approach to ministry is welcome in this day of many looking for some kind of uniqueness in ministry.  Our congregation was blessed as the Lord worked through you.  Here, several weeks later, I still hear comments about you and have received multiple requests for Last Generation to visit with us again.

Recently, I was privileged  to share a Gospel Concert with Mike Matieszyn and his wife.  They were truly a blessing.  Their program was varied and interesting. . .and, very Christ centered.  They presented themselves with professionalism and dignity.  I was proud to be on the program with them.  I would recommend them to any church or ministry with confidence.

We have known Mike and Karen, Last Generation for about twenty-plus years now.  They have come to minister in three of the churches we have been the pastors.  In each case they were warmly received and we have always been asked by our people when Last Generation was coming back.  Mike and Karen have an incredible blend with their voices and music.  They minister with great effectiveness and you will find they have a very sweet spirit about them.  We look forward to when they’ll be with us again.

This letter is to introduce you to the ministry of Mike and Karen Matieszyn, Last Generation Ministries;   a Spirit-Filled couple from Somerset, PA.  We have had the privilege of having them minister in our church on multiple occasions and have found them to have extremely good singing voices and great harmony.  They have also proven to be very sensitive to and cooperative with the leadings of the Holy Spirit, whether they are singing or Brother Mike is preaching.  This has been evident in the Holy Spirit-driven services they have led while here.  As we have come to know them, and observed their dedication to Christ and their ministry, they have become very good, close personal friends of ours and many members of our church.  I have no hesitancy in giving them my most sincere, entire support and recommend you call Mike and Karen to your church.   I fell confident you will not be disappointed as I’m sure the Holy Spirit will bless beyond your expectations.

Mike and Karen Matieszyn are a delightful couple.  They are very talented.  Their singing and Mike’s accompaniment have the professional sound that people are sure to enjoy, and they use a great mix of sounds and styles.  The best thing about their ministry, though is, their passion to lift up Jesus.  Their love for the Lord and their sincere desire to encourage God’s people and lead them into His presence is evidenced in all that they do.  I believe they will be a blessing wherever God opens doors for them to minister.

Our Prime Timers were blessed through the ministry of song and testimony given by Mike and Karen at our Prime Timers luncheon.  It was truly a time of inspiration.  The Lord was glorified, and they uplifted and encouraged our hearts.  I have no hesitation in recommending them for ministry.

I gladly recommend to you the ministry of Last Generation.  Not only are they top quality music, but they have a solid gospel message that is shared.  Their music and vocal harmony is excellent, their programs are well planned and their songs have a solid scriptural message. Most of all at the end of their service an altar call is always given for those who don’t know Jesus Christ as their Savior.  I have had Last Generation do evangelistic services several times in two different Corps appointments and in every meeting we have had seekers.  They certainly meet all Salvation Army standards.  I have gotten to know Karen and Mike Matieszyn personally over the last several years and know they are a dedicated Christian couple who serve our Lord through the ministry of gospel music.  They are very warm and personable and relate very well to the people in the congregation.  I know you will be blessed by their ministry.

Mike and Karen are two people who I appreciate very much.  My wife and I and our congregation are always blessed, edified, and fed by their ministry - a couple who apparently have a deep love for each other, for God and the ministry for which He has anointed them.  We at the Somerset Church of God are blessed to have them minister to us through the music they bring and the preached Word.  Their sincerity and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit is refreshing and very welcome to this congregation.  It is also a tremendous blessing and peace for me, to have Mike and Karen come on those occasions when I must be away - and that’s a good thing for a pastor. I am sure that those who schedule Last Generation will find that you have been led in genuine worship, encouraged and strengthened.  I highly recommend them!

Last Generation won the hearts of the co-op members who attended our annual meeting this year.  Mike and Karen Matieszyn not only sing and play instruments but also use electronic equipment to provide accompaniment that enhances the music to sound like that of a larger group.  Their interjection of a little humor and personal faith delighted the audience.  Mike and Karen are lovely people to work with and do such a great job, that it is very easy to recommend them.

It is my pleasure to recommend the ministry of Mike & Karen Matieszyn (Last Generation). For 20+ years the Matieszyn’s have consistently blessed our congregation with their love, encouragement, testimonies and ministry. Last Generation will not come to take from your ministry but they will sow their lives and gifts into the Kingdom of God and be a blessing to you. In my opinion Last Generation is “top shelf” with integrity, talent and ministry.
