Meet Glorybound

Rick and Retta - Glorybound
The Kelleys and Glorybound
Glorybound
is a Maine-based
Southern Gospel singing group that was
formed in the mid
'80s.
The group was made up of our daughter Dawn
who started singing at an early age with sound tracks at “Gospel
Music Nights” that were held every Friday night at different
churches. About 10 years
later, she expressed an interest in joining the group and became our
lead singer.
Retta,
my wife of 43 years, is one of the original
members of the group
and began singing in churches at a young age with her aunts in a
girl’s trio. She, then, started singing with an older gentleman by
the name of Granville Furge, who also played the fiddle. Retta sings
alto and is a vital part of the group.
She is also an ordained minister and does the
talking for the group.
Rick
is also an original member of the group.
He has played the accordion for many years but only started singing
about 6 years ago when
the group had to restructure because one of
the singers had to leave the group due to illness.
In 2005, there was another change in the group. In May of that year, Dawn left the group to attend school, share in her own ministries, and follow the path God had ahead of her.
At that time, we thought that our ministry was over but the Lord
supplied us with some wonderful new material.
Two songwriters sent us about 30 new songs that had never
been recorded. Also they sent studio sound tracks, lyrics, and full
permission to use the songs.
This included recording them with no royalties. We have
learned some of them and have continued doing concerts since Novvember
2005. Souls are being
saved and we are being re-booked so I guess the Lord is not done
with us yet. We are
going to keep on keeping on till He comes. We also had a new prison
open up to our ministry.
We have been there several times now and have had over 30 souls
saved. All Praise goes
to our God!
Glorybound’s
purpose is to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ, spread the Gospel, lift
up the saints of God, and to help and encourage pastors.
We travel up and down the east coast of the U. S. and into Canada
praising our Lord through music and song.
Glorybound has appeared
on radio, in churches of all denominations, nursing homes, Veteran’s
homes, Children’s homes, prisons, as well as parks, fairs, camp
meetings, wedding receptions, town celebrations, Gospel Jubilees,
restaurants, flea markets, and international festivals.
We go anywhere that God opens a door.
We also work with the
Reaching Truckers for Christ ministry here in Maine and
Transport for Christ
in other states.
For the past 14 years we have done 3-4 concert tours down south each
year. States we have ministered in are: Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Maryland,
Virginia, Pennsylvania, North and South Carolina, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Georgia, and Eastern Canada.
We also promote Southern Gospel Music here in Maine and are seeing
more and more people coming to know Jesus as their personal Savior
through the Gospel that they are hearing in the words of the songs.
We have recorded 3 Gospel albums with Tim Greene
at The Loft recording studio in Boone, NC. Included on
the albums are several original songs that have been written
especially for us. Each and every song is chosen to minister. We
feel that if a song ministers to us, then it will minister to
others.
After going to the Greene’s Jubilee 13 years ago, the Lord put it upon my heart to have one here in Maine. This has been a big step of faith financially for us each year; however, God owns it all and with His help, souls have been saved and Christ lifted up. In the past 11 years, GLORYBOUND GOSPEL JUBILEE has grown and we are praying each year we will see:
-
Souls to be saved
Good weather
For enough people to
come that we might break even financially
Please be in prayer with us for Maine’s largest
Gospel Music event.
