"We are on a "soul winning" mission. Our goal is to share Jesus with as many people as He allows us to, as quickly and effectively as we can. We have a burning desire to see souls saved into the kingdom of Heaven, and a love in our hearts for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is our passion to lift up the name of Jesus in song and to be used by Him as instruments of His wonderful grace. We have been so blessed by God and want to use the talents that He has given us, for His glory and honor."
