  My ministry also includes a singing ministry. I started singing in church when I was just a small boy. My wife, my mom, my sister and girls also sing with me on occasion.

  I believe that music is an invaluable part of the worship service.  Most of all, I believe that the Lord is in control of all my steps.  I know beyond any doubt that He will guide my path as well as guide yours.  I was raised a missionary (southern) Baptist.  I believe in the infallible Word of God, in eternal security, in the in-filling Holy Spirit of God that leads me through life, and I believe that God will not fail even when I sometimes do.  May the Lord be blessed by our endeavors in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

  Just as Moses thought that God should send someone else, I sometimes think that about the call to ministry. I have learned by experience not to second-guess the Lord.  I am stepping out in faith expecting Him to guide me with this web page.  I hope you will find something here that blesses you. 

Yours In Christ,

Rev. Joe J. Akins
