We decided to form a duet with faith that it would open new doors for ministry. Since then, God has blessed us with many opportunities to present the gospel in song through concerts at churches of various faiths, senior centers, fairs, rodeo and other community events, jamborees, opry houses and music theatres across Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Our music is currently played on several radio and internet stations across the US.
