Labor of Love is as advertised, it is a message to all bands Secular and Christian about the need to follow Jesus, the very first song on the album is titled Message to the Bands and the very last song/monolog on side B is titled 6. Unleash the Spirit (2:15 Minutes) is a testimony to other bands to follow Jesus. This particular album is a collectors item and rich with the Holy Spirit in the true nature of Contemporary Christian Music and one might say the beginning of a generation of Christian Music, which would make Mark Krischak a pioneer of the industry as Michael Knott is often titled. In the early 1980’s I personally attended the Saturday Night Concert Series at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa with many of my High School/College friends and watched Mark Krishak perform many times when he was the lead singer for the Lifesavors, I owned all their albums, both the Lifesavors and the one Labor of Love album. Ironically I don’t remember Labor of Love ever performing at Calvary Costa Mesa, their album just appeared at Maranatha Music (a branch of Calvary Costa Mesa) and all my friends knew it was Mark Krishak, formerly of the Lifesavors, that made Labor of Love. Although Labor of Love didn’t get the attention level of Lifesavors their one album, Message To The Bands, had tremendous circulation in the early 1980’s
