Under the sponsorship of the Grundy County Friends of the Arts, gospel music recording artists the Phil and Pam Morgan Family will be appearing at the First Baptist Church in Trenton Sunday, Aug. 10.
The free concert will begin at 3 p.m. and is part of their national “Take A Stand” Ministry Tour. The multimedia presentation combines close family harmony with accomplished instrumentals for a fun, motivational experience. Take a Stand is not only the group’s signature song, it is a triumphant theme considering Pam was once told she would never stand or walk again.
The husband and wife team from Kansas City began singing together full-time in 1996, but their ministry came to an abrupt halt Sunday afternoon, June 4, 2000, when the couple’s van crashed into a bridge. Pam was thrown onto the roadside, suffering numerous injuries, including a broken neck that left her completely paralyzed from the chest down.
Top surgeons said she would never feel or move most of her body again. The couple immediately began a prayer chain from their www.PhilandPamMorgan.com website that soon circled the globe. Much to the doctor’s amazement, feeling and movement began to gradually return to Pam’s lifeless limbs. In one year she progressed from being wheelchair bound to walking unassisted. The specialists still have no explanation for Pam’s miraculous recovery, but the Morgans attribute her healing to the power of God.
Exactly one year after the accident, Phil and Pam walked into a Nashville studio to record “Living Proof.” Phil, an award-winning songwriter, composed all the songs on that CD as well as many recordings that followed.
Daughter Kayla will also be performing as part of the Morgan Family Music Ministry.
The Morgans’ message of hope and encouragement has attracted much media attention. Their story has been told on Oprah Winfrey, Montel Williams, TBN, Discovery Health’s “Only A Miracle,” and The 700 Club as well as in many national newspapers and magazines, including “Woman’s World.” Their music is heard on Christian radio across the United States, Australia, and Europe and their live appearances inspire audiences nationwide with an unforgettable blend of music, humor, and heart-to-heart honesty.
Following the concert there will be an ice cream sundae and brownie social by the First Baptist Church Youth Group in the fellowship hall. It will be freewill donation for the group.
