In September 2000, God began the ministry of DEMASKUS. He called them to bring the hope of salvation to the lost and the promise of healing to the broken. Their concerts are an intimate time of worship as they "de-mask" themselves and share what God has done and continues to do in their lives.

Singers/songwriters Laurye Brunson and Angie Greene combine the message of their music with the anointed gift of Cyndi Pyron who brings that message to life through creative sign language.


PERSONAL LETTERS OF TESTIMONY FROM ANGIE AND LAURYE:

The two of us have gone down many of the same roads in our lives. Because they happened at different times, God used one to mentor the other, ultimately creating a passion in both of us to minister to others who feel they have "blown it." We want people to know that there is healing and restoration in Christ, if they will choose to take off their "masks" and allow God to change them. -DEMASKUS

God continues to blow me away with the plans He has for me. It is so exciting to see Him at work in my life, and yet I don't know why He chooses to use me! He saved me when I was 11 years old, and many years later I felt His call on my life to music ministry. As I began to pursue this call, wondering how, what, when, where, and all the other uncertain details, I took my eyes off of God, for what seemed like only a moment. The next thing I knew, I found myself trapped in a pit of sin so deep I couldn't see out! I should have lost everything, but in the awesome mercy of a loving Father, I was pulled out of that pit, forgiven, healed, redeemed and allowed to be used for His glory alone. It was a long, painful road back, but God has chosen this very thing, the ultimate worst time in my life, to bring Glory to His name and become the purpose for His ministry, DEMASKUS. For this, I worship and praise Him and want to share with the world what He has done for me. -Angie Greene


Sometimes God is hard to understand...He pursued me until I finally gave my life to Him at age 20. I had been in church all my life, but I began to see some people who had a relationship with Him that I didn't have. When I finally repented and asked Him to come into my heart as my Savior and my Lord, I really didn't even know what I was getting myself into!
As I learned what it means to walk with Him and have an intimate relationship with Him, I realized that He was what I had been looking for all along. But I also learned how important it is to keep my eyes on Him at all times. I got to a place in my life, after having been a believer for about 5 or 6 years, where I started to think I didn't need Him quite as much as I had in the early years. Was I ever wrong! I found myself face down in the mud and He gave me the choice of continuing to do it on my own or admitting that I needed Him more than the very air I breathe. The choice to make things right and begin that long, difficult journey back to wholeness was the most important one I have made since accepting Him. And He has been more than faithful every step of the way.
And, as only God can do, He not only restored me and healed me and loved me, He actually used that very time -- what I consider to be my worst defeat -- to bring Himself much glory in my life. That defeat is what brought DEMASKUS into being! That defeat is what brought my marriage to a stronger place than it's ever been. That defeat is what brought me to a level of intimacy with Him that I couldn't even imagine. What an amazing God we serve!
...Yes, sometimes He's hard to understand, but He's never hard to find. He promises that when we seek Him, we WILL find Him. I'm living proof. -Laurye Brunson
