endeavors, Scott has honed his skills as a musician and writer and has recorded several albums. His

According to concert organizers, “This husband and father of seven children attributes his
success to the Lord. His ministry is one of encouragement, instruction, salvation, enlightenment,
deliverance, worship and praise. He is a living testimony that nothing is impossible to those who
believe and that nothing is too hard for God.”
