McSpadden concert planned this Sunday
McSpadden has been at the forefront of contemporary Christian music for many years – from the Oak Ridge Boys, the Imperials, the Bill Gaither Trio and the Gaither Vocal Band.
Whether performing as a vocalist in a heavy concert schedule, producing records, writing songs, counseling young Christian artists, or getting involved in mission outreach, Gary McSpadden’s dedication to spiritual excellence and integrity has gained for him the strongest momentum and the highest regard. He has in fact been honored as an inductee in the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame in 1998, 1999 and 2000 for his founding work with the Imperials, the Bill Gaither Trio and the Oak Ridge Boys, respectively.
When people hear the name Gary McSpadden they often are reminded of some of their favorite gospel music. They may think of songs they sing or hear in their churches such as “Hallelujah Praise the Lamb,” or “Jesus Lord To Me.” They may recall songs from an album, tape or CD such as “Never Changing Father” or “Ready For a Blessing” that they heard at home or in the car when they really needed to be ministered to. They may have heard him speak while he was a pastor in Fort Worth, Texas or maybe when they were inspired while hearing this motivational spiritual speaker in any number of cities across America and around the world.
His hopes and prayers are that they will be pointed towards Jesus Christ. That is his ministry – leading the lost to Christ and encouraging believers in their everyday challenges and spiritual growth.
Seeing the need to broaden his efforts to spread the gospel, McSpadden and his wife Carol formed Gary McSpadden Ministries. Supporting mission work in Romania, Mexico, Haiti, Ireland, Scotland and Russia, the McSpaddens have integrated gospel music and the ministry of the Word to touch thousands of lives each year.
