SCOOP - Sister duo, Annie and Kelly McRae, recently joined with friends and family of Mark Lowry to celebrate his top-selling video, On Broadway. The Platinum Party was held in Nashville in March. 16-year-old Kelly and 19-year-old Annie actually began their singing career in Southern Gospel music by completing a nine-month tour with Mark Lowry. The McRaes performed their hit single, "Walk On the Water" on the video, filmed in New York City. Since that time Annie and Kelly have celebrated the success of their first Top 20 charting single, "Lord Shake These Chains" (written by Annie) and their Top 40 song, "He Bore My Burden For Me." Their current single, "I Will Overcome," also written by Annie, has begun to climb to the top in just a short time. The girls have heard many testimonies of lives changed as a result of the message in the song. Annie and Kelly enjoyed reuniting with many of their close friends and joining in offering congratulations to Mark for his success. Both say they are grateful to Mark for the interest that he has shown in their ministry.

Dear Gospel Music Family: Before rumors get out of hand, I will be leaving Gold City the first week in August. I have enjoyed the last eight and a half years singing with these wonderful men and I'm convinced that God is in this move. I have fought the call of evangelism for a number of years and am now surrendering to it. The good news is that Gold City, and I, both win! Tim and the guys have been super during this time of decision. I need for all of you to know that I am NOT leaving Gospel music. My desire is to put together a group to sing with me. We will be a full time gospel singing group with the only difference being that we will set Sundays aside for evangelism where we will sing AND preach the word of God in the local church. I must tell you all that I'm starting with nothing. Not even as much as a notion of who God will send, how we will travel, or even what the group name will be. All I know is that I have been challenged to have mustard seed faith and watch God. I'll be 43 years old in two weeks and can't waste any more time running from the truth. I don't want to get to 70 and say "boy I wish I would have listened to God." I've enjoyed these years of helping others fulfill their dreams and thought I had lived out all of my own. Now I have a new set of dreams and a calling on my life. I covet your prayers for my family and I as we seek help in starting this new ministry. If you desire to help us get started or to book a date, simply contact me at 256-442-1621 or write to me at: Mark Trammell
