Although raised in church all of his life and knowing God's

plan of salvation since he was seven years old, Ronnie did

not surrender his life to the Lord until June 3, 1990. Two

short months later he was called to preach the Gospel at the

Annual Christian Baptist Camp meeting in Wheelersburg, OH.

Since that time, Ronnie has been involved in ministering to

the hearts of individuals though singing, evangelizing, and

pastoring. He currently lives in Franklin Furnace, OH with his

wife of thirteen years--Melissa, and his children--Jason,

Nicholas, and Kieran.

I am the baritone of Witness. I am the youngest of the

brothers at 30 years of age. I was raised in the Russell

Christian Baptist Church but it wasn’t until I turned 13 that I

gave my heart to the Lord. Though I have failed Him many

times, His grace has always kept me. I met my wife Becki

many years ago when were just kids and God knew what He

was doing when he crossed our paths in later years. We

married in September of 1996. We have 2 beautiful children,

Hunter who is 12 and Jocelyn who is 7. God has truly blessed

my family. We are members of the Westwood Christian

Baptist Church. We love our church. I grew up in Huntington,

WV and I now reside in Flatwoods, KY with my family. I would

like to thank my parents for their love and support over the

years and most of all for raising me in a Christian home. There

is a song by Ricky Atkinson and Compassion that says “I want

to thank Him, and I want to Praise Him,” this is how I truly feel.

I could never begin to tell what all He means to me. And lastly,

thanks to Scott and Ronnie for allowing me to be a part of the

ministry and for putting up with me, you know the little brother.

I am the lead singer for Witness. I am 37 years old and am

originally from Huntington, WV, although I now reside in

Ashland, KY. The LORD has blessed me with a wonderful wife,

Tina, who I have been married to for 9 years. Her prayers and

total support of my ministry is a true blessing! I currently work

as a co-manager at 84 Lumber Co. in Huntington, WV. When I

am not working or singing, I am usually watching sports or

fishing. I was saved at the age of 6. Although, it hasn't always

been easy, GOD has been with me and has kept me. Through

good times and bad, HE is always there, and I praise HIM for

that. I was called into the music ministry when I was 18. I sang

baritone for a group called the Southern Gospel Boys along with

my uncle. We sang for about 6 years. I then spent the next 5

years singing solo and filling in for other groups, until my

brothers and I formed Witness.

The LORD has truly blessed me by giving me the opportunity to

minister to people in song. And that is what singing is to me, a

ministry. There is nothing wrong with good gospel music as a

form of entertainment. However, my first priority is to be used

by GOD to encourage, uplift, and witness to people in song and

testimony. As long as I have done that, I will be content. I know

my brothers feel the same way about that and that is why the

LORD has blessed our group.

Please continue to pray for me, that GOD will continue to use

me in any way HE sees fit, and that I may always be... a

witness.
