By Grace Music Ministry

I, Sandy Heil, have been singing Gospel music a large part of my life since I was a young child. I asked Jesus into my heart as a little girl at the age of 6. I was raised in a loving, Christian family and we attended a very music-loving church. I love to sing for the Lord and believe He gave me a talent to use for His glory. I sang my first solo at my home church - West Side Gospel Tabernacle (now Lakeview Christian Center) when I was about 8 or 9 years old. But, even before that, one morning in Sunday School Class when I was about 5, the teacher asked if I would like to sing a song for Jesus. So, I sang a song that my brothers had taught me, "I Didn't Know The Gun Was Loaded!" Of course, I don't remember that at all; but that's what my mom told me. You'll be happy to know that I've learned several church songs since that time. Over the years, I have continuously been involved in music in one way or another. I have sung in church choirs, acappella and other ensembles, trios, musical missions choir, etc. I have also directed adult and junior choirs.

I traveled with the Promise Land Singers for a short time, before my marriage to Duane Heil in 1982. After Duane and I married, we sang as a duet and then organized the Celebration of Praise Trio. The trio was actively involved in prison ministry for over 5 years, and we traveled and sang with the trio until joining Blessed Truth in January 2002. Actually, we merged the Celebration of Praise Trio and the Blessed Truth Quartet to form Blessed Truth.

My prayer is to be used as an instrument in His hands for the up building of His Kingdom, sharing the message of His grace wherever there’s an open door for ministry.
