Not content

to just sing in their church choir, Leslie Rummel and

Adina Lavery felt the call of the Lord to spread His name

in other places through song.

They travel

all over Fayette and Coweta counties and call their

Christian ministry "Wings."

Appearing

at church gatherings, nursing homes and assisted living

facilities, the duo has a repertoire of 35 selections

that are a combination of spiritual and traditional

songs. Through these 30 minutes of songs they share God's

love with everyone in the various venues and bring the

joy of Jesus Christ to loving people, lonely people,

those who have lost their faith, those who want their

faith strengthened and people who just long for

fellowship.

"There

is such a incredible need out there for this kind of

ministry," said Rummel, "that we plan to

continue because God has blessed us so greatly and called

us to do this.

"Adina

and I know that He wants us out there spreading the good

news through song," she added.

Rummel was

born in Hialeah, Fla. and reared in Eugene, Ore. A lady

living across the street was an inspiration to her and

was instrumental in leading her to the church. She is the

alto sound in the duo.

Lavery was

born in Chattanooga, Tenn. and also lived in Chicago. She

has always been in church and credits her dad with being

her greatest inspiration. Lavery is the soprano voice you

hear.

This past

year they have visited over 25 different locations and

are always invited to return. They have performed at the

Sharpsburg Festival, Christian City and the retirement

communities in Fayette and Coweta counties.

While these

dedicated ladies are glad to appear at no charge to make

Christ known through song, outside donations to help

offset expenses will be gratefully accepted.

Wings has

just purchased a new sound system and looks forward to

recording a tape so its musical mission of sharing Christ

through song can be spread even farther.

The ladies

always end their performances with the same song,

"Build A Bridge," which perfectly states their

mission: "There was a gulf that separated us from

the perfect heart of God, But with the gift of His own

Son, God made the way for us to cross. Now because we

know the way, we can't be silent for one more day. Build

a bridge, reaching out the hand of Christ. Join together,

all as one, side by side. We will tell all the world that

in Jesus Christ alone, there is hope. Join together,

reaching out, build a bridge." (Dennis and Nan Allen

1996)
