This photo was taken just months before John's mom passed away. The picture was for the project "Hello Mama," which many say has encouraged them to continue praying for their children and grandchildren.

John enjoys country gospel music. Many say his singing reminds them of Jimmy Swaggart or Elvis.

John and his brother Steve at Aunt Dorothy's, where they spent many summer afternoons.

During John's early evangelistic years, he travelled in the TransVan, hauling all of his equipment as well as a giant tent that would seat 400. As a part of his tent revivals, he often had "Old-fashioned Night." Part of the nostalgia of these meetings was the saw dust trail down the center aisle. Many old-timers would testify and reminesce about days gone by.

John sings at the Christmas Festival in Mansfield, Indiana each year. It is held the first weekend of December.
