There are not too many circumstances under which people from diverse backgrounds converge and volunteer their efforts for a project with eternal implications. This is exactly what happened, though, when an entrepreneur, a mortgage broker, a math teacher, and an engineer got together to write, sing, and play music.
Abel’s Offering was born of the praise team at the Glenview Evangelical Free Church in 2004. Don Chookaszian, Dan Chookaszian, and Steve Smith had been playing together since the mid-90s. With Dan’s burgeoning songbook, the time had arrived to record, and so Abel’s Offering was born and their first project, “Lookin’ Straight Ahead” was released in 2006.
When Ben Snyder joined the band late in 2006, the band’s sound and focus took a more piano-oriented direction. Ben began writing and Ben and Dan began collaborating. Soon, it became clear that the time had arrived to go back in the studio. With the recent additions of JP Chookaszian and Will Brown, the lineup was complete and on November 14, 2009, the recording of “Testimony” began.
Over the years, our sound has developed from a light Country feel to more of a contemporary Christian artist sound, similar to Jars of Clay and earlier MercyMe.
Abel’s Offering has not forsaken its roots. They still serve as the lead worshippers at the Glenview Evangelical Free Church, playing both services on Sunday Morning, as well as a once-per-month outreach on a Sunday night.
We have been leading worship at our home church for over 10 years. Dan is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute, receiving his MDiv, while Ben is a graduate of Trinity College in Deerfield, where he was heavily involved with the music department.
Our newest release, Testimony, has been featured on Winds of Praise radio and on Indie Heaven, and one of our songs will be featured on Christian Happenings later in May.
We are honored to call this new CD Testimony, a reflection of our heart's cry to spread the Truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ to those in need of hearing it. We have heard many testimonies about how this CD has touched lives and brought people into worship. It is truly a blessing to be a vessel for Christ in this way. May He alone be honored, loved, and exalted!
