Willie & Rodi Longenecker

Welcome to grace again

From beginning to end our life is a gift from God. As we minister to you, Rodi and I hope you will take this opportunity to reflect again on His gifts to you in your life.

For twelve years we have travelled the country singing at between 175 and 200 places each year. Our goal is to speak clearly about the unique hope we have in Jesus Christ. Our music is a mixture of familiar hymns and country gospel, old and new, touched by our northern experiences. For many people, to reach back to memories from the past is a chance to look forward and say “Yes” once more to the unmerited kindness of our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Rodi and I live on the Lake of the Woods, at Morson, Ontario. We both grew up in Pennsylvania, in traditional Mennonite homes. Rodi’s, however, was the inner city of North Philadelphia while Willie's was a more typical rural farm home. For 36 years we have lived in central Canada, teaching and preaching. Half of that time we pastored the church where we live now. Our lives have been enriched by the Native American First Nations people with whom we live. Thank you for your interest in our ministry of music.
