About Higher Call
My name is Charles and My wife is Kathleen and we are "Higher Call."

We do a mixture of Contemporary, R&B, Jazz in ballad form. We've been both Ordained as Music Ministers, P&W Leaders, etc. from time to time. My wife is a Soprano/Songwriter and has an A.A.S. in Social Services. I am a Tenor/songwriter/keyboardist and have a B.A. in Theology/Honorary Dr. of Div. and 3 degrees in Photography.

We have a network of other Christian Artists we assist in placing in those areas where they are needed (FREE TO ALL). Our newsletter is free to anyone (sends 4 s.a.s.e.'s to P.O. Box 7622, Tacoma, WA 98417).

Psalm 107:20 He sent his word and he healed them and deliver them out of their destruction!

My prayers are with you all day and I am rejoicing in the healing that is to come swiftly !What a mighty God we serve , not a sparrow falls to the ground with out him knowing and even the very hairs on our head are numbered!

I love you and i know that God is going to show himself strong on your behalf!

Thanks Charles! My mother says that she feels the spelling of my name is more petite than the traditional spelling.

I'm glad to call you a new friend.

God Bless,
