简介
Rachel Harvey has literally been in ministry all her life. Not only did she grow up in a pastor\'s home, but from the time she was 3 years old, she would travel with her family, as The Wisehart Family Singers, to churches where they would sing, preach, and testify to the glory of God. While in her high school French class, Rachel began to feel the Lord calling her to be a missionary to the French culture, so after graduation, she attended Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri with a double major of Missions/Bible. After completing four and a half years of study, she was married to Michael Harvey, who also was called to be a missionary to the Spanish culture. They began a life of ministry in a variety of capacities: youth sponsor, youth pastor, associate pastor, and even have ministered as lay-ministers. At one point, they traveled with another couple as the Southern Gospel quartet, Lifeline. In June of 2004, they felt the Lord calling them to Florida to help their pastor start a new work in the Kissimmee area. With their burden for the Spanish culture, they are right in the middle of their calling. At age 15, Rachel developed vocal nodules which greatly limited her singing ability. To compensate, she began to play the piano more and became a prolific songwriter. She feels that God has inspired every song she has written and that they were meant to be heard by the world. Her songwriting style ranges from Southern Gospel to Contemporary Christian, she\'s even written \"rap\" and created lyrics to classical music. Some of her songs have been said to \"meddle\", but Rachel feels that as a Christian, \"we are to provoke one another to righteousness.\" Holiness is one thing that she feels God has called her to sing about. \"I hope to help people really ask themselves the question-does the way I\'m living my life really measure up to what God asks of me?\" Two years ago Rachel self-released her first project \"What are You Lettin\' In?\" She also has completed a second project, now on CDBaby, called \"The Purity Project\" which is two songs she wrote (one for a girl to sing and one for a guy to sing) regarding sexual abstinence before marriage. It includes high/med/low tracks so that the young people can sing them and get this message in their own spirits. She is currently working on her third project, to be released soon, which is a Praise and Worship CD. All the songs on it are original and written by her, or her sister. There\'s even two songs that her youngest son and oldest daughter wrote. They will surely be a blessing to you! The desire of Rachel\'s heart is to bring people to know the saving Grace that God has to offer through Jesus Christ. She also desires to extend encouragement and a call to holiness for people who are already under that Grace. But her deepest desire is that anyone who attends a concert will be able to feel a powerful presence of God and, in so doing, will never again be the same.
