DR.Janice Sjostrand Can Sing.

I recently aquired a DVD of DR.Janice Sjostrand and she can flat out sing.
I had never heard of her before .and she really has talent.
I got the DVD from http://firstpent.org
Anyways her singing just blows me away it's really great.

Re: DR.Janice Sjostrand Can Sing.

FYi....she wrote the song, Alabaster Box. When she was at our church, she told the story of how that song came to be. She was supposed to play for the altar call and the preacher was preaching about the woman coming to Jesus and anointing His feet with oil. She needed a song for the altar call and when she went to the piano, she started playing and the words just flowed.

I am not familiar with this sister,but the DVD I have touched me I felt the presence of God while watching it.

WOW! Now that is good preaching. Seriously, when a preacher can make you see what she is preaching, that's anointed preaching.

Re: DR. Janice Sjostrand Can Sing.

I love Sis. Sjostrand's ministry. My pastor has let me
borrow some Videos of hers from when she was down
here for some conferences which happened before I joined
the UPC. I am really inspired, moved and touched by her
preaching and singing. I have recently borrowed them again
from him and I just love watching them over and over again.
She is truly anointed. In one of the videos she prophesies over
my pastor which is really wonderful. May God bless her for
being the woman that God has anointed her to be. She is the
first woman preacher I have ever seen live. She came down to
our Ladies Retreat a couple of years ago. I uploaded a couple of
videos of when she came down, you should be able to find
them on youtube. Unfortunately, my laptop crashed and any
other clips I had of that conference are also gone.

Re: DR.Janice Sjostrand Can Sing.

She is one of my favorite women preachers :)

There are some that don't like her style, but that is the case even for men. :)

Yes, legitimately. ;)

All her husband lacks for his PHD is the completion of his dissertation paper. From a website regarding their speaking at a conference:

Janice Sjöstrand received a BSE, MSE, and EdD from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and during her professional career of 13 years, served as secondary classroom teacher of Spanish and English, district administrator for the ESL program in Lonoke Public School district, guest lecturer at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and motivational speaker and performer. She opened for Ray Charles in Little Rock, Arkansas, performed for the Arkansas General Assembly, for both President Clinton’s inaugural prayer services, and for the United States National Prayer Breakfast, and sang at President Clinton’s mother’s funeral. Barbra Streisand cites Janice’s rendition of “Holy Ground” at Mrs. Kelly’s funeral as the inspiration for her CD “Higher Ground.” Janice also composed “Alabaster Box,” winner of the 2001 Dove Award and recorded by gospel artist CeCe Winans. Janice is currently licensed in the state of Ohio as a public school administrator and serves with her husband at Christian Apostolic Church. Janice was recently appointed to the Sunday School Curriculum Board of the UPCI.

Keith & Janice have been married for 36 years in November. During their ministry together, they have spoken at numerous family life seminars and leadership development conferences in the USA and abroad, and now host the annual Ohio District Marriage Retreat. They have 2 daughters, Caitlin, and Sheena Sjöstrand-Post, one son-in-law, David Post, and, one granddaughter, Siobhán Post (pronounced Shavonne). The family live and worship together in Newark, Ohio.

Alabaster Box

This song was written by Dr. Janice Lyn Sjostrand, copyright in 1997. The story told behind the inspiration for this song was one night while Sis Sjostrand was in a church service at the UPC church in Southern California the preacher was preaching a sermon about the woman who came to Jesus and anointed his feet with oil. Sis Sjostrand was to sing during the altar service afterwards and when she began playing and singing the words to this song just flowed out of her.

On October 19, 1999 CeCe Winans released her new album Alabaster Box, which featured this amazing song. It won the 2001 Dove Awards.

Sis Janice and her husband Rev. G. Keith Sjostrand have been married for thirty-seven years. They currently pastor Christian Apostolic Church in Newark, Ohio. She is an alumnus of the University of Arkansas. She has taught as a Spanish and English high school teacher and is a licensed administrator with the State of Ohio.

She is a very talented musician as well as a singer. I have found that she has opened for artist, Ray Charles. Not only has she performed for the Arkansas Legislature, but also the National Prayer Breakfast, and two presidential inaugural prayer services. She has worked in the ministry and counseling with her husband for over 30 years in individual counseling and family life seminars.

She also speaks at Women's Conference's nationally and internationally. This is how I am familiar with Sis Sjostrand. I first heard her at the AR UPC Ladies Camp Meeting at Redfield, Ar in 2000. The theme was Hope for 2000. For most of us ladies it is one of the highlights of the year. Every April for just a few days we get to lay down all of our everyday jobs and come together to be uplifted and to uplift one another. There are no words to describe what it is like being in a place filled with thousands of other ladies who know and love God in the same way as you do. The praise that is lifted up throughout these services are power-packed and anointed. We arrive with great expectations that are never let down. Sisters in Christ like Sis Sjostrand may never hear every story from every lady that have encouraged to keep traveling this long and narrow path, but just maybe this will be something we could do while we are all setting around the marriage supper of the Lamb on that Glorious Day!!! In the meantime ladies, Sis Sjostrand please know that you are a precious jewel in the Kingdom of God, thank you for your many years of service.
