 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 ten years--Melissa, and
his two sons--Jason and Nicholas. |
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 9 and Jocelyn who is 5. 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 7 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.
