BIOGRAPHY OF THE
WHITFIELD MUSIC GROUP
On June 21, 1992 the world of Gospel music was devastated in the loss of the "Maestro" Minister Thomas A. Whitfield. He was truly a musical genius in contemporary, traditional Gospel music, and is considered a pioneer in the area of Praise and Worship.
After a time of prayer and direction, The Lord birthed and manifested in the brothers of Thomas, Larry and David Whitfield, a continuing vision of reaching the ears of many who are lost, and to share the Gospel through song. Through this, the inception of the Whitfield Music Group was formed in January of 1994.
The singing aggregation, comprised of various soloist, musicians & singers, possessing the versatility and potential to sing the contemporary and traditional style music that the Lord was feeding into the writers of the ministry. Larry Whitfield, and their Musical Director Demetrius "Krayon" Nabors, spent many hours writing and arranging music, and sought for singers and musicians that could easily adapt to the task, without simplifying the musical changes. Our goal was to sing to the Lord without limitations.
THE MINISTRY
We are endeavored to sing knowing that when we evoke the glory of the Lord, He makes His presence known and available to the sick, the broken hearted, discouraged, suicidal, drug addicted, whatever the case may be. Over the years many alter calls have been made. Many people have accepted the Lord as their personal savior; they've been healed, delivered, set free, and encouraged!
THE FOCUS
God has given the Whitfield Music Group an unique way to reach the unsaved and saved, and we thank the Lord for enabling us to travel extensively, to share the gospel through song, for we do believe that, " we have a message for the world" - JESUS SAVES!
