About Gary:

 

Rhonda says..."Gary is my precious Beloved husband so I know him well. He loves Jesus and is truly a man after God's own heart. His education is not only many years of past studies for a Ministers license, gathering experiences with God and studying His Word it is also really based on his daily walk with the Lord. I find him spending much time in prayer, just talking to Jesus and getting into His Word in a deep revelatory way, playing music, worshiping Jesus, doing spiritual warfare, spending time with me, other family, working in the Ministry office and being a public witness. He is a perfectionist when it comes to setting up the sound for Daddy YAH he reverences Him and only wants to give Him our very best. He is a man of much prayer usually praying in the Holy Spirit no matter where we are...its kind of funny for me because he finds a secret way to pray in public...no one else usually knows what he is doing, yet I do. It is such a great blessing for me to see him growing quickly every day in the Lord being more and more fruitful.

 

Believing that he nor anyone has "arrived" just because of some or a lot of past education, experience or credentials  he believes it is the current daily walk that matters most. However he believes it is very good to study and show ourselves approved by YAHWEH our God as Paul wrote about in the new testament. Yeshua (Jesus) is his first love. " Gary is great, I love him and I am so thankful that the Lord put us together as husband and wife. It is a real grand adventure to serve the Lord with Gary, we often joke about writing a book to tell of all that Jesus has brought us thru.

 

He is an extremely talented, skilled, gifted and anointed man of God on many instruments and in many areas, yet he is humble,faithful and knows full well that without the Lord he can do nothing and it all hangs on the love flow to and from the Lord. He gives much thanks also to all those who are now and have in the past nurtured him up in the Lords call on his life. He has been singing, writing and playing music for over 25 years and is seeking excellence in carrying the Holy Spirit anointing of the Lord through the new sound scapes of Revelation worship music combined with this Prophetic Psalmist Ministry. His desire is to give the Holy Father what ever He desires in excellence, resounding waves of the most fragrant glory, Gary gives the Lord his best and leads others into the presence of the Holy Father by the leading of the precious Holy Spirit. He is out of the formal little normal church box and into the true deep and wide, long and high revelation worship. We ask the Holy Father to give us His art and creativity from His heart and let it resound thru us to create His will on the earth as it is in the Heavens. As a Duo they also ask Jesus to let His Holy Angels sing, play, dance and minister to Daddy YAH and the peoples, thus we have ...the Lilyband. Lily being one of the Names of Christ in the Lily of the Valley.Song of Sol.

 

"Currently Gary is leading by Singing and playing Music from the Psalms and many other various parts of the Bible, giving Prophetic words, Preaching, leading out in spontaneous prophetic worship music, writing sermons and public Bible encouragements, playing what the Holy Spirit gives him on the keyboard, electric guitar and playing unto the Lord on his own hand created bamboo flutes. He is fearless as he runs out to the call of Jesus leading him into His spontaneous songs and sounds.Truly Holy Spirit anointed and talented." says his wife Rhonda.

 

Shortly after they married and were called into fulltime Music Ministry he and his beloved wife Rhonda moved to Florida from Missouri to serve and be further educated in Ministry then on to serve in Kentucky and are now serving the Lord in Houston Texas. Before that he served in a small local Church in Mo. while learning of God's great power and deliverance through true worship and the prophetic. For approximately 4 years there Gary also helped during special times of music Ministry and served in that small home Church while also serving as the lead singer/guitarist of "One Accord" a local all guy Christian praise/worship band.

 

 the Lilyband Love story....By the Lord's grace He and his Beloved wife Rhonda are now joined together as "The Lilies" also called Lilyband. They both are of American, German, Jewish and Indian heritage. They met at a Godstock concert where they were both singing, playing and worshiping.They were introduced to each other by a mutual friend that was organizing the event.Gary says...We only spoke briefly yet I never forgot her sweet sound and holy anointing as she played her guitar and sang straight to God from her heart". After aprox. one year the Lord moved Gary to ask Rhonda if he could court her, the rest is history.The Lord called them into His fulltime Lilyband Psalmist Ministry over 7 years ago.They are still sweethearts and grow more in love everyday. He calls her his beautiful Princess. She calls him her wonderful King and Priest. What a duo the Lord has joined together!

About Rhonda:

 

 

She says "Oh Glory to my Daddy YAH"..." He has rescued me from sin, I love Him with all my heart and I love to truly sing and play music to worship Him from my heart to His Heart."

 

Rhonda truly loves and is sold out to following Jesus, He is her first love. Simply put,she says..." I love Daddy YAH and love to truly worship, pray, sing and play music to Him and my Beloved Jesus, they are my best Friends". The majority of her time is spent seeking the Lord in extended times of prayer, intercessions, worship, Bible study, serving and spending time with her Beloved Gary while also working in their Ministry and office, being a public witness and spending precious time with their family as Jesus allows. Some of the ways Jesus uses her is by accompanying her husband in singing the new song of the Lord, while she also flows in the Holy Spirit thru dance, guitar, percussion, Keyboard, prayer intercessions, Prophecy, Preaching, counseling, teaching writing as a Psalmist and a song writer. First giving love, thanks and honor to her Holy Father YAHWEH, her Savior and best friend Jesus, then to her Beloved husband and second best friend. "Thank you ...your love, encouragement and support are precious and endless." "Deep Thanks to all of those who love me and encourage me on to follow hard after Jesus call on my life." May His Kingdom come and His will be done here on the earth as it is there in His Heaven!

 

Gary says...."She is a wonderful guitarist who has a simple unique style in her anointed singing, playing and songwriting ...deeply and truly worshiping her Lord in a pure spontaneous way. Rhonda has known and served Jesus for over 30 years now, has served in various music Ministries for approximately 17 yrs. and was a former student of Mid Continent Bible College with her major in Biblical Counsel and minor in Music."

 

She has also completed several guitar and worship workshop classes taught by: Pastor Mike Rothwell, Kent Henry, Randy Rothwell, Rita Springer and many anointed others from the Vineyard music group. In over 17 years she has served and ministered with 4 different worship teams in large well established Churches, led worship in many cafe, small group and college sets alone and also with a dear Bible College friend Sarah Preston as they were serving as an evangelistic worship duo called "Purple Chord". Rhonda also helped to lead worship using the Harp and Bowl style for approximately 1 year in Kentucky where she lived before marrying her Beloved husband.

 

She says, "This Harp and Bowl style of prophetic worship is very powerful and one of my favorites." "The new Sounds and Songs of Revelation worship is my favorite too" " It's so powerful because its the Word of God." I actually began learning of and singing in this Prophetic Revelation style several years before meeting Gary. As a very young woman the Lord captured my heart and gave me a hunger to express it to Him in personal new ways, not just by singing other peoples music and lyrics. Years ago I remember Kent Henry came to do a worship workshop at our Church in Ky. he called it "prophetic" and flowing in "the river", singing out of your heart to the Lord and He sings to the peoples as the Holy Spirit leads you... well that was it for me! I was in awe of how close I felt to my Heavenly Father.

 

There was also a man by the name of David Barroni, I 'll never forget the spontaneous song of the Lord he sung out ...my deep search continued...what is this? how can I have it and give it to You?... I asked the Lord. A few times we were blessed to have Lynn Swart and Phil Driscoll too. One of our main worship leaders Kevin Sagabarth as best as I can remember was from the Vineyard in some way, Sonie and Mike Rothwell also worship leaders in that Church were with Maranatha at one time in the past...Various precious Pastors have encouraged me on in my calling. Many great experienced anointed people, friends and family have helped me so much ...plus I have a wonderful and rich musical and Christian Ministry family history." My Dad started me on the guitar when I was 11 and Mom taught me to sing old hymns when I was just a child. My Grandmother was a preacher type of worshiper and my Aunts and uncles were singing worshipers, preachers and musicians too. Our leaders at that KY. Church also had great men and women of the Prophetic regularly in to educate us... the one I remember well is Graham Perrins. Sincere thanks, love and extreme blessing of the Lord to all of you.

 

Rhonda is truly seeking the perfect will and heart of Jesus in all things. First desiring to be a lovingly devoted and pleasing daughter of her Daddy YAH, a Minister and Psalmist to the Lord, then an excellent wife to her Beloved Gary, loving her  family, Ministering to the Church, and to the lost with her goal for all to be done in excellence thru the Holy Spirit and Fire with all Glory given to the Lord.
