Imagine my surprise when I go into this new church and you are leading worship. I can't tell you how many times 'So Deep' has set me on my knees to ask God to be that close, to be so deep in love that nothing else matters. It's one of my all time favorite songs. I know that God has already blessed your family, and he has amazing things coming up for you too. I can't wait to see how God uses you from here. I hope that one day God can use me in one thenth of the way he has used you. Will,

My husband has never liked music in any of the churches that we've attended and you made a big impression on him at the first service we ever attended at OLC. Even though we are no longer there, I truly hate to see OLC lose such a talented and godly man and his amazing family. You will be greatly missed by all who know you. You and Jamie have done an amazing job at OLC and i've loved watching you raise your boys as well - you are a great family man and Jamie is so very lucky to have a husband that is also a man of God as are Ean and Spencer. If you all ever need anything, please just let me know. Trust God as you go forward and you'll always be taken care of. Will, Jamie, Ean, and Spencer,

You have touched so many at Oak Leaf and I for one am proud you passed through my life. May you be blessed in the future as you have blessed so many here. I know God has bigger plans for your life.

I listen to your CD full blast in the car and I can feel the presence of God. Even though I have personally never met you, I am going to feel a little empty on Sunday morning without you. I hope you have taught Matt how to sing Relentless Pursuit just like you do. I wish the very best for you and your family.

My huband and I walk into the service hoping we have chosen the one you will be doing the music for each Sunday. You will be missed by so many. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

You are a big part of the leaf and are truly going to be missed exspecially by my family we all think you rock. Everyone always talks about the music at Oak Leaf is so good you have to come and here it. I think you are a lot of the reason people visit for the first time at the leaf. You are a special person and we wish you would change your mind. We love you. God Bless! The Hardin family Will,

I know I've told you before but for the sake of those who do not have this album... It will simply strengthen your relationship with Christ. You perfectly express the love we have for our God and the love He has for us. By the way When Stephanie and I get married "Just Enough" is our first dance. I pray that God continues to bless his self through you. Will… what sucks to me is I’m just really getting a chance to meet you and I’ve been a fan since a great person put “More of You” in my hands.

I remember when I thought you were famous. I remember when you sang " Relentless Pursuit" for the first time at Impact. I remember when you came into Cartersville for a See You at the Pole rally and I was ecstatic.Then I remember the first time I walked into Oak Leafs doors and heard your voice. You have helped me grown, you've taught me things even when you didn't know it, and you've became a part of my family. Your family is a blessing to me. From seeing Ean accept Christ to being baptized and knowing that I was able to help in that by serving in the City blows me away. God is doing great things with your family and He will continue to bless you. From being a student who was touched 4 years ago by your music, to a partner of Oak Leaf it has been a blessing to be lead by you. I've seen the lives you've changed and I know there are more to come. I'm praying for you and your family . Keep in touch. Kaela Will,
