Anointed and heartfelt describes Richard’s vocal ministry. He performs each song in a clear and powerful manner, touching the soul of the hearer. Richard uses the word of God to encourage and uplift the spirit. He is also a dynamic and inspiring speaker who brings transparency and practicality in delivering the Gospel.
My desire is to provide a musical balm that comforts, inspires, and heals the soul. May each of you remember my ministry as, “the day you felt the heart of God”.
Sincerely,
Richard K. Dawkins

July 11, 2022Mr. Dawkins was booked to sing two songs at a memorial service. Of course, it’s a very difficult time but he was so easygoing and pleasant. He even accommodated a last minute song change. He was very professional- clear communication, on time, pleasant disposition. Would consider his services in the future.
