Awesome Concert & Fundraiser

We just got home from a fundraiser/concert for our former drummer Wes McCall and family. Wes recently lost his wife to cancer...but she received the "ultimate" healing and is certainly in a much better place. However, The McCall family was hit with huge hospital bills and Covenant Baptist Church sponsored a fundraising concert featuring New Journey Qt., 5:17, Casting the Net and the Covenant Youth Praise Team. What an awesome night for God it was....the holy spirit permeated the building with young & old alike, praising the Lord in his or her own way! The musicians from all groups played great and the singers sang wonderfully, but the most important thing was that God received the glory!

The concert raised significant funds for the family and we even got Wes to sing a few songs with his ole bandmates...it really brought back memories! What a talented man Wes really is...how God has blessed him! It was good to see that he didn't let what most would call a terrible family tragedy slow him down in his service for God...many lesser men couldn't or wouldn't have done it. His two daughters are absolutely precious children whom we adore. Please keep this family in your prayers as well as New Journey as we go along the journey God has laid before us! Talk to you again real soon!

In His Service,

Our 1st New Journey Quartet Blog Post

Thanks for stopping by our blog page! The New Journey Quartet has been busy updating our webpage and we're still working on it, but so far, we've had some very positive comments about it! Not only is our website located at: http://www.newjourneyqt.com/ looking different, but you may notice a change in our band lineup. Currently our members include:

Bill Warren - vocalist, acoustic/electric guitar, banjo, mandolin
Angie Warren - vocalist
Dillon "Lil' Elvis" Warren - drums
Rita Stinnett - vocalist
Phillip Stinnett - sound tech
Mike Puett - electric bass
Mike Shew - drums
Jay Ayers - vocalist, harmonica, keyboards and guitar
Bob Woods - acoustic guitar, dobro and steel guitar

Over the years, faces have changed in the group as all groups encounter change. Each member who has come and gone has lifted us a little closer to our goal of bringing refreshment to weary christians and salvation to the lost. We are now, more than ever excited about the future that God has for us....time is certainly growing short as the Bible foretold it would, so we must be about our Father's business.

This blog page is where you'll find our latest thoughts, current news and info about all things regarding the New Journey Quartet. It is our sincere hope that you'll stop by for a visit often!

May God Bless,

New Journey Quartet
