Terry Joe Terrell grew up in the small Mississippi town of Foxworth.  He was brought up in Pleasant Hill Pentecostal Church, where his father, Bro. Marvin Terrell, was the pastor there for 57 years.  His mom, Annie Faye Terrell, was a prayer warrior who made everyone that came there feel like family.

            At the young age of eleven, Terry experienced a tragedy.  His mom passed away.  Over the next seven years Terry grew bitter that his world had fallen apart.  During this troubled time, Terry fell in love and married a girl from his church.  God later blessed their home with a son and daughter.  This brought some comfort to his life.  However, he knew something was missing...

            Then one night, while visiting his dad’s church, Terry was filled with the Holy Ghost.  He finally found the Friend he had heard his mom speak of so many times.

            In 1992 Terry took a leap of faith.  He went to Big Stone Gap, VA, to cut a project with the Singing Cooks.  With just a small sound system and his sound tracks placed in the trunk of his car, he and his family set out to be a witness through songs.

            28 years later God is still opening new doors across the United States.  Terry hopes for many more years to continue to have the opportunity to tell about his Friend, Jesus Christ.
