"It only takes a few notes to hear that Jeannette Petkau is one fine singer. But it's when the song is over that you get to appreciate what an excellent communicator she is on top of that. You soon realize that these songs are not just an excuse to glorify a beautiful voice; they're truly an extension of someone who has a critical message to share with all those who are ready to be honest about life's traps. Throughout her performance the theme of trusting God with your vulnerability truly ministers as a song of victory from a woman who has known both sides of freedom.
I truly enjoyed preaching alongside Jeannette and would not hesitate to recommend her to any church looking for an honest presentation of life."

"Langley's Petkau goes Beyond Reason... Petkau projects a genuinely upbeat quality--and the clear conviction of someone who has overcome obstacles to faith, and who wants to share her testimony."

Petkau has a heart for ministry. The lyrics in these songs (Beyond Reason) tell of a deep and growing relationship with God, learning from the hard times and striving onward. They are personal, most of them sung directly to God. I identified with them and was strengthened in my faith.

"Jeannette Petkau is an artist with energy, excitement, and talent. And she also has something else, something very important: she has heart. It comes across in her music, and it is right there for everyone to see in her live performances. If you get the chance to see her perform, don't miss it. You'll not only be entertained, you will be enriched."

It is with great pleasure that I recommend to you Jeannette Petkau. Jeannette was with us both as an on-air interview guest and a music guest on 100 Huntley Street and Prime Time telecast. Jeannette demonstrated a desire to be a bold witness for our Lord Jesus. She shared her heart openly as to the transforming power of Jesus Christ in her life; especially His power to break bondages of fear. We deeply appreciated her support of the ministry and it was evident that God's Spirit flowed through her as she lifted up Jesus and showed from her heart that God is real. Only heaven will tell how many people felt and responded to that tugging at their heart to come to Jesus during the program. I believe many did. Jeannette is a wonderful blessing!

Every once and a while a very special individual comes along who has been greatly anointed by the Lord to serve Him with praise and worship. Jeannette Petkau is one of those individuals.
Jeanette's style is a reflection of her heart and her desire to see God's people enter into that wonderful place of resting in His presence and one of the best ways to do this is through worship. Be it Jeannette's own music or that of one of the many familiar praise songs, those who listen and those who enter in, enjoy and quickly learn to appreciate the depth of Jeannette's musical gift and ability.
One of the aspects of her ministry is not just music but that of weaving her testimony and that which the Lord has shown her into her concert events. This dimension opens the door to move beyond another "church" only concert but that of an opportunity for outreach and evangelism.
I would highly recommend her to your fellowship. No matter where you might sense to utilize Jeannette Petkau - you and your congregation will be blessed! Because He lives!

"Jeannette has a passion to reach lost people for Christ and this shows through her music and life. She assisted us in a "Friends Day" outreach concert. We had numerous visitors with us that day and they expressed their appreciation for her ministry. Through her altar call, a recent new believer was challenged to take another step. Her follow up and genuine concern for effective ministry encourages me."

"Jeanette Petkau sings with much passion, making it clear with every word she sings that the message of each song is of primary importance to her. Her incredibly talented back-up band brings rich colour and wonderful vocal harmonies to Jeanette's songs. She has an inspiring repertoire of original songs that bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ."
