I believe that God has called me to minister to families. Family has always been so important to me. I believe that God had a special plan for me before I was even born, and I am so grateful for the gift of life my birth mother gave me. For that reason I have a place in my heart for young girls expecting babies they hadn't planned on. Reaching out to them and supporting crisis pregnancy centers will always be a part of my ministry. I believe that God makes families and He did a great job when He made mine! In several of my songs I sing about my family and how they've influenced my life. I hope my songs will touch and encourage other families.

My second family is my church family. I've grown up in First Baptist Church Bonifay, and I love my church. The people in my church are some of the most encouraging people you will ever meet. I believe that ministry begins at home and I will always cherish my ministry in my home church. I love singing in my church and with my youth choir and youth praise band.

Finally, I feel called to minister through my songs to the bigger family of God. I pray Jesus will use me and my voice to share His love and encourage families wherever they are. Better yet, I pray that something I may say or sing about will reach someone who is lost and bring them into the family of God.

To God be the glory!!

If you missed the Grace Bailey CD release concert, you missed the event of a lifetime.

Last night at the First Baptist Church of Bonifay, the crowd started coming in early and they kept coming and kept coming until the building was full. Then more and more people came. The pastor pleaded with an SOS (Scoot Over Some). People moved to the middle as much as they could and then the choir went ahead and moved to the choir loft where they stayed for the evening. Then they asked the youth to get out of their seats and sit on the floor. The pews were full and now the floor was full. More people tried to get in but there was simply NO MORE ROOM.

Then the concert began and 14 year old Grace Bailey took a wall to wall crowd on an emotional roller coaster ride that will not soon be forgotten. We saw video presentations of Grace growing up singing. And by the way she is celebrating 14 years of singing, she has been singing all her life.

Grace received a love offering and the entire offering went to the Bonifay Pregnancy Center. You can see from that where her heart is.

Grace was gorgeous, she was full of energy, she was on top of her vocals but best of all she ministered Christ to all in attendance, young and old alike. Four people that we know of, prayed to receive Christ "Praise the Lord".

Only God knows what is in store for this young lady.
Paradigm Records is very proud.
