Corey
Echols
Hey
everybody. My name is Austin C. E. Echols-Harlow, (AKA Corey).
I have been an active tenor in the James Hall & Worship and
Praise Ministry since 1994. It has been a great blessing to be
a part of a ministry where we all want God to move, look for him
to move, then due to that we experience God's move in GREAT ways!
When I am not traveling up and down coasts with WAP I am being
a faithful member to my home church, the Institutional COGIC,
where my pastor is the Bishop C.E. Williams Sr. There I serve
as a praise & worship leader as well as assistant director
of the Gospel Expositions. One scripture that has stuck with me
down through the years is, Let your conversation be without covetousness;
and be ye content with such things as ye have: for he hath said,
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Heb 13:5) Stay encouraged
everybody, Jesus is always near.
Rachel
Easley
I
joined WAP with my sister in 1991. At the time we were the youngest
in the group, but we didn't mind. We knew that we had our uncle
James there on our side along with the new family in which we became
a part. We were able to travel to see the east coast, Canada and
California. My favorite moment was the recording at Lincoln Center
because we were the first gospel group ever to perform there and
God was truly in that place that night. It was also the last time
my father was able to see us sing. My favorite scripture is Romans
8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to
them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose."
Be Blessed! Twin, Rachel
Alfreda
"Fre-Fre" Parker - Soprano
Greetings in the name of Jesus. My name is Freda A. Parker. I am
a new member of Worship & Praise; however I've traveled as a
child with my sister who has been a member since 1990. I want all
of you to know that I am holding on to God. For that reason one
of my favorite scriptures is Romans 8:38-39. "For I am persuaded
that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor
depth, nor any other creature shall separate us from the love of
God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord!"

Knight
I
joined the choir with my twin sister Rachel in 1991. Being one of
the youngest members at that time was a learning experience. We
learned perfection by being around the mature ones like Dr. Kevin
Bond, Prof. James Hall and Prof. Melvin Crispell. Being in the Soprano
section, with Trenise Bullock as section leader it was a great sisterhood,
of which I am proud of being a part. Traveling to many different
places and making the recordings has been an experience in my life
that I will always keep with me. Being a part of WAP showed me faithfulness
and commitment, which I am proud to bring with me at my home church
Faith Christian Assembly were Dr. Jerry Fuller is Overseer and Beverly
Fuller is Pastor. Stay blessed! Regina
Satonya
R. Johnson-Cody
My
name is Satonya R. Johnson-Cody. Besides being an alto in WAP, I
am saved, sanctified and filled with God's precious Holy Ghost.
I am also a devoted wife and mother and a faithful member of the
Mt. Sinai Cathedral C.O.G.I.C where my Pastor is Supt. Elder Clarence
Sexton, Jr. I have been an active member of WAP for approximately
2 1/2years. Currently I am an understudy lead vocalist for the song
"Heaven" on our newly released album. When I'm not being
active at my home church, I truly enjoy ministering and traveling
with the choir. As one of the newest additions to the choir I have
learned that "It pays to serve Jesus" no matter what's
going on around me "God is in control" of all things and
"Yes" everyday I know that I'm covered under "The
Blood" of Jesus.
