Singer/songwriter Wes King was born in Winder, Georgia on January 20, 1966. After picking up the guitar at the age of 14, he wrote his first songs two years later; after studying the Bible at Covenant College, he relocated to Franklin, Tennessee. Wes signed with Reunion Records and recorded his first solo LP The Ultimate Underlying No Denying Motivation in 1990.

After issuing Sticks and Stones a year later, King resurfaced in 1993 with The Robe. 1995's Common Creed was his biggest hit to date, notching three CHR chart-toppers -- "Life Is Precious," "The Love of Christ" and the title cut. In 1997, King issued A Room Full of Stories, his most acclaimed effort yet followed by What Matters Most in 2000. Wes and his wife Fran have 3 children, Harrison, Mitch and Walt (George).

INDIA:
Mary’s family was different than many others in her south Indian village. They were Jacobites, members of an ancient Christian faith that can be traced back to the apostle Thomas in 52 A.D.

Tradition claims that the apostle sailed a well-established trade route—dating back to the time of Solomon (970-930 B.C.)—between the Mediterranean kingdoms and India. Thomas preached the Gospel throughout the subcontinent’s northern territories and eventually traveled south, where he established seven churches and a Christian community.
