Yorkshire-based John is a tireless worker for the Gospel who down the years has ministered to thousands. If you've not come across this singer/songwriter it's because he's never had a push from a Christian record company though Gilead Music, the studio ministry with which John has long been associated, still continue to release John's recordings. His latest is this single. I'm afraid the "A" side "Bring Me The Children" is not the stuff that hits (even Christian radio hits) are made of and with a simpering children's choir and lounge music accompaniment, it will appeal only to those with the most maudlin of tastes. Much better are "Soul Rise", written by the project's producer and keyboard maestro Kevin Leach, and "New Beginnings", penned by John himself. But in truth we are still awaiting a top rate recording from the veteran singer/songwriter.

Ever since hearing Johns personal testimony at a local chapter of the Full Gospel Business Mans Fellowship International (a bit of a mouth full) I have really been impressed at Johns simple message of Hope and Faith contained within his testimony. John is a real gentleman with a great sense of humor and likable personality. He is a man of integrity and great commitment to sharing the Gospel in a simple and effective way. Your article above, really doesn't encapsulate John the person fully but I guarantee once you meet John in person and hear his music and especially the lyrics you can't really appreciate his message fully but you will delight in his ministry.
