She is an example of Worshipper in Spirit and in Truth.

Best worship leader in our generation. Her passionate love for Jesus and how she just doesn't lead, she Worships God with everything in her. Lead by example. Go back to her 90's worship and it is so spiritually free and so powerful. thank you Darlene!

I remember Darlene at Hill Christian Life Centre back in 1986...faithful woman of God. I had the honor of playing in Hillsong band for 4 years. There's nothing fake people about the music team at Hillsong.

She is a true worshipper not an entertainer. You are a blessing Darlene. Your song is truly deeply rooted in the Word of God.

She's a worship warrior.

she made Hillsong what it is today...I miss the "classic" hits with this passionate woman :D

my favorite worship leader

I miss the old hillsong band

Her voice is gold til this time...its melting stones❤️

Darlene is amazing, I remember being at church at hillsong and just watching her worship God, it made me feel like I was missing out on knowing God, and I decided to press into worship! Now that's a worship leader!! Her love for God is contagious.

She made Hillsong (with the grace of God) is a living legend.

God used her in such a magnificent way. Darlene was my mentor I’ve never met her in person. But I remember when I was in my 20’s and didn’t know God was going to use me in a way unimaginable. I became a worship leader in my dad’s church at the age of 20. After 9/11 hillsong church mailed out their “you are my world” album, concert on video, and Darlene’s book “extravagant worship” , all these materials they sent out to every pastor in America as a gift of comfort and encouragement during the grief of our nation, when my dad received it in the mail, he gave it to me as a gift. It was the best gift that I could ever receive in my life. Reading Extravagant Worship was such a great inspiration, and such a well-written testimony and encouragement and mentor ship for me, with the help of the Holy Spirit I began to understand the position God set me in and the seriousness of the position. Her book and music couldn’t have come at such a better time, God is Good and worthy of all praise. God bless you Darlene and may God’s healing hand continue to be on you and your family.

Her voice is already beautiful to be listened even when she speaks. God bless you Darlene.

I love this lady so much and admire her gift, God bless her with long life.

Gospel music isn't a business, profession, acting, show, brand or entertainment. It's a Worship Ministry and spreading the Good News through singing.. God bless her and all true worshippers

She continues to encourage and inspire me to this day. Thankful for the time I got to meet she and her husband in Greensboro, NC...in 2005, I believe it was that year. What a God arrangement that was for us (my husband, myself and our friend D)to get to share one on one time with her after the concert. She made me feel so welcome and special. Love her.💓 She and her husband are the real deal/true examples of the love of Christ.

The first hillsong i hear i think ,At The cross. And before i didnt know darlene . When i hear the song my heart feel the joy and the presence of God.

The wisdom she shares is the kind of wisdom you can only get through the valley. God is a good Father indeed, bless you Darlene Zchech!!

Her faith like Prophet Job... fight till the last breath... Im so blessed... Jesus is everything

Dear Darlene you changed my life since the first time I heard your music and your voice, God spoke to my heart and still does every single time through your music, I am so thankful.

One of my favorite worship artist!!!

She is truly a God's worshipper! We pray for you Darlene❤❤❤❤

She's the one that put Hillsong on the map and made it what it is today... with God's help of coarse... love her...

GOD bless you Darlene

I have many of the older Hillsong CD's when she was worship pastor and whenever I listen to them even now, I am ushered into our Lord's wonderful Presence!

I love this woman since iwas like 11year s till now I love the way GOD is using her in bless to see her

Thank you Darlene for your faithfulness. Needed to hear this today.

The only leader in Hillsong that was genuine. She is the real.deal.⚘ He has preserved her, her ministry and her reputation by leading her out at the right time.

She is like a girl version of david.. Glory to God

I listen to other worshipers as well but no one as much as Darlene Zschech. She had a strong impact on my life more than 20 years ago, & her songs still impact me today! Thank you for your gift of worship & for sharing it with the rest of us!

A passionate woman about God

I love Darlene so much. I also love seeing her passion for the Lord.

So much inspiration. Thank You Lord for Darlene's life.

I'm not judging, but after Darlene left the Hillsong, the songs of hillsong changed

So good to hear Darlene's story - what a testimony and inspiration to all of us women seeking to be used by God with the gifts He's given each of us!

Thank you Wendy, 4 this powerful interview. Thanks Darlene, 4 all your amazing, anointed music. GOD bless you, your family & ministry.

Ms you darlene everytime i hear your nice voice im always cry ,i love your being nice...im from philippines

I love you Darlene! You are so amazing. Thank you for leading us always to the presence of God through worship songs. God bless you!

Darlene Zschech is a blessing from God. No person is perfect, but you can be made perfect after repentance with the love of God. I am thankful she has stayed true to God while others have decided the world was where they wanted to be instead of serving the Most High. I am blessed with the music God has given her and her talent and encouraged with her testimony. Lord God, bless Darlene with great health and especially great power with you to give the message out to others, in Jesus' name Amen X 3.

Thank you Darlene ..thru you I learned to praise GOD in spirit and in truth..GOD bless you wherever you are..we love you

Jesus made what Hillsong is today. Darlene is à wonderful servant of God as well as all the Christian artists are. Plaise God for whatever he choses us to be.

Way back 13 years ago, u were d number one among hillsong who inspired me in Christian music and to b a worship leader those days. I was lost in a while ,I backslid ... but still I listen to ur songs and to other hillsomg music. it was a long story but thank God just few months ago God woke m up and again gave another chance again...im alive again in him ,though I'm fighting against sickness but by the grace of God I believe I am healed!everytime I listen to ur song, revealing Jesus I feel refreshed.i miss u Darlene ,I know I'm not alone but millions of Christians around d world u inspired through ur music and the power of d Holy Spirit within u as u exhort d word of God while singing. God bless u more and ur family and I pray that there will b many Darlene zhech to b born in hillsong ministry, despite of all negatives and accusations,may God use u more to spread the good news to all creation through ur music!

I just love Darlene she is so real ,! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

her songs and way of worship is so powerful, always brings me to tears

What a wonderful, beautiful, amazing women, love her!

This what happens when you dont sing for money but for Jesus Christ. Your heart and words are authentic on and off the stage. Thanks for sharing your gift. I wonder where Marty and Morgan Reuben are now? I think they also left hillsong.

Her love of God is so amazing and her ability to let it come through in her songs of worship has certainly helped me so much in being a worship leader, as I continue on my spiritual journey with the Lord, I pray for God's goodness and mercy for Darlene Zschech.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Beautiful lady truly heaven sent

I truly understand her after almost facing death from skin cancer a few years ago ,called into ministry back in 1979 and always healthy, then skin cancer shows up and 3 major surgeries afterword god asked me what i wanted to do ,I replied go back to the vision he called me ,now three years cancer free doing his will ,day by day and as Darlene said a big change in lifestyle, god is good

Almighty GOD Blessed You dear,, Mom.. Darlene !!

I know Hillsong today and that's because of Darlene...my first Hillsong DVD was 'You are my world' which a friend of my father gave it to me....it was around 2007. I was 12 yrs old at that time when I started worshipping with Darlene in my home...it was difficult for me to get another DVD and there was no internet. I used to play the same DVD again and again. And then I got "Blessed" and I grew up listening to one by one 😊😊. She literally taught me how to worship and all her songs lifted my spirit. It's not great to worship humans but we can honour them. I honor her for being a role model and bringing out a worshipper from me!!!!

I also thank GOD for you Darlene. Such a humble and annointed leader. You've impacted my life so much that my music, perception, and approach in life radically changed. Now I'm finishing my degree and hoping to get in the medical missions to help other people in different parts of the world. It was your prayer in your song "In Jesus' Name", that really strucked me. Thank you!

She's my best! God bless you more Darlene

i love her so much.....thanks so much darlene for inspiring many
