Bismarck Pentecostal Church will host a special service of music ministry at 9:45 a.m. Sunday with LaVerne and Edith Tripp from Gallatin, Tenn. The church is located just off Highway 7 at 2159 Arlie Moore Road, in Bismarck.

LaVerne Tripp made his first public singing debut at the Piney Grove Camp Meeting, in Chocowinity, N.C., at two and a half years old.. After singing solo and with several local groups, he joined the Blue Ridge Quartet in 1969.

For seven years, he sang lead with this group and wrote and recorded three consecutive number-one songs -- "I Know," "That Day Is Almost Here" and "After Calvary." LaVerne Tripp was voted male vocalist of the year and his song, "I Know," was song of the year. He was nominated eight times for the Dove Award. At the pinnacle of the group's success, he surrendered his will and his life to the care of God and launched out to fulfill God's destiny for his life as an evangelist.

The couple hosted the "Praise the Lord" program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, and for more than the past 35 years of ministry, he has seen more than 800,000 souls born into the kingdom of God, traveled around the world, built Bible schools, churches, children's homes, and now is the sole sponsor of 300 children adopted in India.

His song, "We've Got The Power," has, and is continuing to be sung by the church around the world. In 2001, CCMA presented him with the Living Legend Award at the Ryman Auditorium, in Nashville, Tenn. CCMA also awarded him for his number one song, "A Bible And A Bus Ticket Home," from the project, "We Will Rise Above It All."

Everyone is welcome to attend. For further information contact pastor Van Glidewell at 262-4680.
