In His Word, the Lord said that He would "Give you the desires of your heart." In 1994, I stepped out on faith, and a tremendous desire to minister for the Lord, in song. From that day to this one, the Lord has richly blessed me, and I feel His anointing there with me as I sing. I humbly praise the Lord, not only for His love, but for His faithfulness to me. At present, I am singing at both, local and out-of-town churches, as well as at benefit singings. I sing at the County Fair in my hometown every year, and I sing at two Singing Conventions a year. The Lord is opening doors for me to reach and expand in my service to Him. I give the Lord all the praise, honor, and glory! Thank You Lord Mary Ashworth P.O.

Glenn resigned as a pastor
in 2002, bought a motor home, and moved his family into this house on
wheels, leaving what was left behind to anyone who would take it. We do
Bluegrass Gospel and had no idea that we would have such a powerful
response. Our calendar filled quickly, and it needed to since we jumped
off the edge and we're depending on these dates for our survival. "Whoa ! Where has this band been? They are as good as any bluegrass gospel band I have ever heard. The instrumentation is excellent, but the lead and harmony vocals really lift this band well above the treetops." ---Sonny VanGelder, KBCS, Bellvue, WA. "We'll be spinning this alot on HPR's new all bluegrass gospel channel...Great cut!"---George Fair, Heartland Public Radio, Branson, MO "Vocally this band is a musical tranquilizer. One dose brings solitude to a frenzied day. The band has great harmony and delivers their songs with conviction." ---William Bledsoe, KMST, Rolla, MO. REVIEW of CrossPoint String
Band CD "End of the Row" .Angelic voices..." ---Mario Wildner, Radio Dresden, Dresden, Germany Very good gospel." ---Rein Wortelboer, Radio Vernay, Vernay, Netherlands "Some songs make me want to
jump and shout hallelujah ! This is one..." Our favorite comment said dozens of times is "We didn't like Bluegrass until we heard you." Be sure to check us out on our web site:
David has learned to play a total of 13 instruments, but the one he’s best known for is his piano and keyboard work. Always a fan favorite, once the big man gets behind the piano you know that you’re in for a wealth of good music and entertainment. His playing is a mixture of several different styles presented with his own flair. When you listen you can hear the influences of Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Lee Lewis, Floyd Cramer, Bruce Hornsby, Billy Joel, Hargus “Pig” Robbins, and others. In 1979, David joined a group known as the Gospel Sounds, traveling with them for over 2 years. During this time the group recorded their debut album, produced by Kenny Hinson and engineered by Kevin McManus at Hilltop Studios in Hendersonville, Tennessee. After leaving the Gospel Sounds in 1981, David went on the evangelistic field, holding revivals and singings across several states, eventually working in a music ministry at his local church, the East Side Church of God in Evansville, Indiana. David has played on several Southern Gospel albums during a stint as a studio musician / engineer, first at Inspirational Sound Studios and J-Lee Recordings in Evansville, Indiana, then on various projects at other studios. He’s been on stage with several well-known groups and headlined for others, including the Kentucky Headhunters, Alabama, and Jon Brennan. He was a fan favorite for many years at Goldie’s Opryhouse, a family-friendly, alcohol-free theater in Owensboro, Kentucky.
David left the church for a while,
but the Lord brought David back home, showing once again the depth
of God’s grace and mercy. “The Apostle Paul’s words describe me
best,” says David, “when he called himself the ‘chief of all
sinners’. I don’t understand God’s grace, but I’m sure grateful that
He loves all of us the way He does.” Determined to do the Lord’s
work, David threw himself back into supporting his local church
through his music and attendance. During this time, the Gospel Sounds reunited for a Pastor’s Appreciation day at the church. The special performance was the first time in nearly 30 years that the group had sung together, and it was intended to be a one-time event; but not long after that, calls began to pour in wanting the Gospel Sounds to appear. The demand became so great that the group reunited and is once again touring the country, singing and preaching. "I'm so happy to be back doing what I love to do: writing, arranging and performing Gospel music," he said recently. "I am so excited to be a part of the Gospel Sounds' Ministry once again." David's best friend is his lovely wife Bobbie, who travels with him everywhere he goes to minister. "I just couldn't do this without her love and support," he says. “She’s the backbone of everything I do; she handles the product table, takes pictures and video during performances, and also runs the sound. She is my biggest fan, and I’m hers.” In addition to being a part of the popular group the Original Gospel Sounds, David is also embarking upon a solo career to further fulfill the call God has placed on David’s life. Recently signed by 145 Music Group, David’s first release will be a song he wrote nearly 20 years ago, entitled “Morning After the Rapture”. “I can’t help but think of what a terrifying thing it will be for some to wake up and realize that their loved ones have been taken, and they’ve been left behind,” David says. “This song came from imagining what that would be like.” About his solo career, David says, “I’m very excited to be part of the 145 Music Group family. This company has taken a keen interest not only in the business aspect, but also the ministry aspect of performing.”

Wess
Adams, a former locomotive engineer and railroad official answered God's
call to full-time Gospel Music ministry in 2004. Desiring to
dedicate himself fully to God's will both Wess and his wire, Susan,
chose to be available & live by faith knowing God will supply their
every need. "On Track" is Wess' first project, named to
correlate the railroad with the Christian life. God calls us to
continue pressing toward the mark of the high calling. We must
daily surrender our will, allowing Jesus Christ to work His will through
us, living life "On Track." This project features a Grammy
nominated song written by David Staton entitled, "Every Knee Shall
Bow" sung as a duet with Allison Durham Speer. "God's
Country" produced by David Staton in 2008 on Song Garden's new

Staton and David Patillo, clear proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ.

In September of 2002, Faithful Touch, was formed as a duet, with members
Carolyn Vaughn and Mary Manry, ministering and traveling for 5
years. Each of us were formerly ministering as solo artists from
1999 to 2001. Mollie Lowery joined Faithful Touch, singing the alto
part. Her smooth alto voice completes our sound giving us that three
part harmony. We have been blessed by the Lord with the invitations
and accomplishments we have received and Jesus gets all the glory!!
We love to minister in music, whether it be a large or small venue,
because we know the Lord has called each one of us with a plan and purpose
for our music ministry. To minister to the lost, the hurting, the
hopeless and to His precious saints. We have been fortunate enough
to share the stage with artists such as Kevin Spencer, The Blackwood
Brothers and the Georgians. We also perform regularly on the River
Oaks Opry (Previously known as the grand Ole Opry of Texas). We have
also been nominated for the 2008 Trio of the year for South Texas Gospel
Music Association.
Once
in a great while, a soloist comes down the Gospel Highway, that catches
your attention and you quickly become a fan and listener. One of those
soloists, is Duane Frame from Ravenna, Ohio, he not only presents the
Gospel in Song, but his "real" personality and testimony shines through
in his concerts as well as in recordings!.
Feeling
a calling at the age of 16 in a small town in Arkansas, Bobby began
singing Gospel Music. In December of 1982 he was offered a job
with the MidSouth Boys as lead vocalist and bassist. After several
top 10 songs and a Grammy nomination, in 1997 went their separate ways
leaving time for Bobby to become more involved in his church and start a
family. He became the sound tech at Cornerstone Church in Madison,
TN where he attends with his wife, Becky and their children, Grace,
Landis, Hope and Faith. Staying true to the calling on his life,
Bobby and two other members of MidSouth reunited, forming the band,
Heritage Road that he currently sings with part-time. It's Bobby's
desire to minister full-time so he is fulfilling that desire by
ministering as a soloist as well as keeping dates with Heritage Road.
Bobby has 25 years of experience singing Southern and Christian country.

Canaan Bound was created in May 2004 with a promise to God that we were
willing to go wherever God opened the door. We have been truly
blessed by the opportunities He has given us to share His word through
song to both small and large groups. We are still committed to go
through any door He opens for us. We are members of the following
music association: Southern Gospel Music Association of Texas
(SGMA); Gospel Music Artists Association (GMAA); and South Texas Gospel

evening. Just give us a call.
Strong
family musical backgrounds in their formative years have contributed to
the success of two wonderful individuals. Their musical upbringing
and experience in church singing from very early ages have given them the
jump start into the ministry that they now enjoy whole-heartedly.
Time and Lana Chandler travel in a ministry of singing and preaching
conducting concerts, revivals, camp meetings and conferences. Their
travels have taken them all over the United States, Canada and the Philippines.
Singing
has been a part of my life since I was four years old. As a teenager, I
sang in various church choirs. I began singing in a gospel trio in 1968.
We sang in local, as well as in out-of-town churches. At times I would
sing lead but, most of the time I sang harmony. Our trio was together
for six years. Circumstances then warranted, sending us in different
directions, and the trio ended. In the interim, I sang occasionally at a
church, but not very often.
