In 1987 GOD ALMIGHTY sounded the WORD the alarm that captured my heart and
saved my soul when he opened my ears to hear and my eyes to see that I was in
desperate need of a Redeemer, I had made no reservations for eternity! I was drifting
trying to survive without hope, without peace, if I had died then, I would have gone to
a lake of FIRE, hell without GOD, I was lost but now thank GOD I heard his voice and
answered the call! I have never been the same, I was born again and now I am found with the
heartbeat of GOD beating in me on FIRE burning in my bones and SPIRIT with the
message of the GOSPEL POWER of my SALVATION! The WORD of GOD has changed
charged my life and has given me new songs with a new heart after GOD and HIS
GREAT COMMISSION to carry the message of the cross, and to testify in song and
testimony of what GOD has done for me and many others, I can bear witness with
experience and evidence signs and wonders that cannot be denied.
I am dedicated to
my LORD JESUS CHRIST who now lives in me and walks with me leads, guides and
directs me into HIS righteous paths of HOLINESS and PEACE beyond all understanding!
I can do nothing without HIM but with HIM I can do all things for the GLORY OF GOD IN
JESUS NAME for HIS PLAN AND PURPOSE. JEREMIAH 29v11. I am bought with a price,
1Cor 3v16, and no longer my own! The JOY of my SALVATION is to serve my LORD with all
my heart, soul and body and spirit in song, truth & HOLINESS with HIS PASSION and PURPOSE
wherever and whenever, I will go I am on call and ready to serve and worshp my Redeemer in
SPIRIT and in TRUTH! JOHN 4v24..IT IS ALL ABOUT HIM..ALL GLORY TO GOD IN JESUS NAME,
FATHER SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT! GOD BLESS HIS HOLY NAME! JOSHUA 24V15!

I have been singing and traveling with True Spirit for eight years. My singing is a God given gift. Yes, God gives us gifts to use as a ministry for lost souls. It does my heart good to praise the Lord through my singing because when I am singing, I am like a pastor speaking to God’s people through song. The purpose of True Spirit is to win lost souls to Jesus Christ, our Savior. Sometimes, we plant a seed in someone’s heart and these seeds have been sown for God to reap the harvest. We may never know the seed has been planted, but God is smiling down upon us saying, “A job well done my sons”.
I accepted Jesus Christ into my life and into my heart in 1995. Through the gifts God has given us, my wife and I have been working with her uncle, Bishop William D. Robertson, in starting the Prince George Church of God on Wagner Road in Petersburg, Va. My wonderful and supportive wife, Deborah, and I are so happy in the Lord and we love, worship, praise, and give thanks to Him each and every day. We believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and the sins of man kind. We believe that Jesus Christ arose from the dead and is now in Heaven with His Father. There He is preparing a home for His children. It is my prayer that True Spirit, through our music ministry, can win lost souls to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
If you do not have a church home, please do not hesitate to call any of the True Spirit members. We are from different locations in the Central Virginia area. Any one of us will be happy to help you find a church home that you can call your own.
Please keep in mind John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that who so ever believeth in Him should not perish but have every lasting life.”
May God Bless you and yours and May God Bless the United States of America.

I enjoy serving JESUS with my banjo.
I enjoy laying up my treasures in heaven and not on this earth.
I want to exalt JESUS CHRIST and not myself! Ralph has been with True Spirit for 9 years and he says it has been a real pleasure!

I have been fortunate to serve my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by spreading His word and testimony in song for over the past 25 years. It has been an honor and a pleasure to continue to serve the Lord for the last three years as a member of the "True Spirit Gospel Band". The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful Mom and Dad whom I love very much. I am also blessed with four beautiful children, Krtisti, Brandon, Kaylyn, and Brenton. I am so fortunate that my three oldest children, Kristi, Brandon and Kaylyn also sing and praise the Lord in song and have their own gospel band "III FOR HIM". What a blessing it is to have my children living for the Lord and spreading His word in song. The Lord has been so good to me in so many ways that I could never thank Him enough for all of the many things He has done for me. Playing my guitar and singing His praises is my way of thanking and praising Him and giving back just a little for all of the many blessings He has given so freely to me.
And above all, He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

For some time now ministering to others though music has been a passion of mine. I am blessed to be able to praise God with the True Spirit Gospel Band.
I accepted the Lord into my life when I was 7 years old. It was then when I realized that God is King and Creator of all things and Jesus paid the price on Calvary so that I can live. I attend Skinquarter Baptist Church where I work with youth and play guitar in the praise and worship group.
“Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.” Psalm 146:1-2

I am blessed to have been raised by Christian parents who instilled in me the teachings of Jesus Christ. We were members of Woodlawn Presbyterian church in Hopewell Virginia. I learned much about the Bible stories from my Sunday School Teachers. I was baptized and accepted Jesus as my Savior. I enjoyed singing in the church choirs and being in the Boy Scouts.
Later I married Linda, moved to Prince George and joined Sycamore Methodist Church. I have had the pleasure to be with several Gospel groups through the years and realize my calling to spread the Gospel through music.
Psalm 147
1: Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto
our God; for it is pleasant
7: Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the
harp unto our God:

You shall surround me with songs of deliverance – Psalm 32: 7
Before electronic media, CDs, yes, and even before cassette tapes, there were vinyl records. My older sister had quite a collection of 45 RPM records and one of the greatest joys of my childhood was spending an afternoon playing stacks of them on the record player.
To the chagrin of others in the household, I would then walk around the house singing the songs I had learned from those old 45’s. What a disappointment it was that I often heard, “will you please be quiet!” Unfortunately, my desire to sing was much greater than my ability.
I share this snip-it from my childhood because it attests to the statement, “God not only calls the equipped, He equips the called”.
Raised in a Christian home, I prayed to God for salvation while still quite young. However, it took years for me to realize that the essence of my Christian walk was not handed down in my earthly family’s traditions, but attained through the relationship I have with my Heavenly Father of whom Christ has made me heir. Romans 8: 14-15 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the Spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out “Abba, Father”.
So, if you are reading this and have not experienced the glorious freedom from the bondage of fear and despair, there is hope!
1 John 1: 9 states that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
When you take those first steps and trust in God, there is such an adventure ahead of you!
As long as we offer our gifts back to him, he can take the darkest times in our lives and turn them to light and sour notes can turn into a beautiful song in His ears.
What are your interests? What stirs your heart? That may be the first indication of God’s leading.
Trust in the LORD with all of your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. – Proverbs 3: 5-6
Show me your ways O LORD; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me. – Psalm 25: 4
