Jaci's Ministry -- the Message Behind the Music
![Just Jaci (on the beach)](/ms/jacivelasquez/images/faves.jpg)
"I've always known what I wanted from life. I know what I want out of my ministry. I want to go and reach people my age that maybe even a youth pastor couldn't reach.... It scares me to death, but I know where I stand with the Lord" -- Jaci Velasquez, February 1997
Jaci is an extremely devout Christian. She believes in seeking and doing God's will. "To have a relationship with God, it's the most important testimony you can have before people. It's not easy all the time -- I have a hard time with it sometimes. But that's what is going to last." If you need to talk with someone about what God's plan is for your life, call toll-free 1-888-NEED-HIM.

Jaci is a believer in sexual purity before marriage. She took the pledge: "Believing that true love waits, I make a commitment to God, myself, my family, my friends, my future mate, and my future children to be sexually abstinent from this day until the day I enter a biblical marriage relationship" when she was 13. This pledge and other information can be found at the True Love Waits web site. Read and hear the song Jaci co-wrote "I Promise" from Heavenly Place, which is her testimony.
Pray for Jaci
Jaci is a firm believer that prayer works. "When I was seven or eight, I prayed God would send me a special dog. I looked in a dog encyclopedia and spotted the one I wanted, a Lhasa apso. A few months later, some people who had just gotten a Lhasa apso puppy were giving away their older one. They heard that I wanted a dog and gave it to me. When I was twelve years old, I prayed that I would sing at the White House before I turned thirteen. And sure enough, on September 16, I sang at the White House, for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. I sang "God Bless America" for the invocation, the prayer. A month later, I turned thirteen. I know that some people would say that it's dangerous to believe that your dreams can come true. But the truth is, I don't think I've ever prayed for anything that hasn't happened in one form or another. I think that each and every time you pray, God looks into your heart and He knows whether those dreams are going to be good for you...."
