Gary Graham - baritone and lead

Born to Martha and Eugene Graham on December 9, 1946 at the old home place in the northeast corner of Cook County (Adel), GA. He grew up on the farm and helped tend the farm, just as his other sister, Sharon, who came along a year later. A brother, Ted, came along several years later. Then, lastly, the baby of the family, Pam, who was loved just as much as the rest of the Graham clan. On the 21st day of September 1975, Gary had a born-again experience as the convicting spirit of Almighty God changed his life and he became a new creature in Christ. David Graham, a cousin, played a part in helping to lead Gary to the Lord. Gary was saved at the Nashville Mission in Nashville, GA, where Rev. Fred Hesters served as pastor. Instantly, the Lord put a song in Gary's heart and started molding and shaping Gary's gospel music ministry at the young age of 29. Gary soon felt led, by the Lord, to start a singing group called the "Changing Times". This new group consisted of Gary's sister, Sharon, and her husband, Jerry Hamner. The Changing Times are still singing and ministering through Gospel music. In the early 1980's, the Lord led Gary to an all-male group called the New Covenant Quartet. Gary ministered with this group for a number of years. When the group broke up, Gary joined the "Happy Travelers" of south Georgia. In 2000, he helped form a group known as "The Reapers". In 2001, Gary was diagnosed with cancer in both of his kidneys. Although the news was devastating, God delivered Gary through another storm at age 54. Finally, after singing with the Reapers for seven years, the Lord worked yet another miracle for him, Pam, Faye and Brenda, as they formed the group "Faithful Servants". Gary has also been blessed of the Lord to pen several songs; "Try Jesus", "Home Sweet Home", "Wait Upon The Lord", "Are You Ready For The Bye And Bye", "God's Wonderful Love", "The Mama and Daddy", "I'm Coming Up", "Up Ahead", and many others. Gary looks forward to all the great blessings of singing and sharing Christ in this new ministry........for in Christ, all things are possible to them who believe!
