The King's Ambassadors

The Kings Ambassadors have a special mission-showing God's love through music. Through the presentation of Gaither-style Southern Gospel music and testimonies, "We proclaim the news of salvation and the love of Jesus Christ." They have been blessed with a unique combination of personal and professional backgrounds that compliment each other, dedication and enthusiasm for the Lord, and powerful testimonies. Some of them have been praying for quite some time that the Lord would open a door of music ministry for them. As individuals, they feel blessed that the Lord has brought them together to share His love through music.
The group has been together for 14 years, serving Him with all they have. Ozzie Wilkinson sings Lead and Bass, Dave Morgan sings Baritone, and Ken Lecates and Michael King sing Tenor. Their home base is Parsonsburg, Maryland. They go wherever they are led. For scheduling opportunities call Ken at (443) 523-5278 or Michael King at (410) 543-5397.

Unity
Susan Dukes, John Moore, Cindy Gullion
Ephesians 4:13
"Until we all reach Unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."
"Unity" was chosen for our Ministry title. We are of different religious backgrounds, but are united in our beliefs. Our goal is to reach out to Christians and non-Christians everywhere, to strengthen the faith of those who are weak and guide those who are lost. We want to do this by spreading God's Word to all, through our singing. We enjoy singing and harmonizing, and when we met for the first time, we knew God joined us together. 
Cindy was raised in a musical Christian family. She is a member of her Church choir. As a singer/songwriter, her goal is to sing for the Lord. She writes beautiful songs with messages from God, hoping someone will accept Him in their life. She recently co-wrote a song that has been recorded by Kelli DeAnn, on a newly release album called "Wallflowers Dance". Susan Dukes grew up singing with her sisters in Church. At times throughout her life she sang solo and with various choirs and praise groups. Her desire is to spread the Gospel through song. John Moore sang Southern Gospel music for many years. He is also a soloist and is presently singing also with "One Day Closer Quartet". He loves bringing the message of Christ through song, and has helped to promote several Gospel Concerts over the last few years. Call them to sing for your church service, festival, or other venue that needs the presence of Jesus.

MICHELLE REYNOLDS
Hello. My name is Michelle Reynolds a sinner saved by grace through faith. Born and raised on a farm in Fruitland, MD, I only saw a church on Christmas and Easter. Life was filled with material things and a yearning for a loving peaceful atmosphere. Married at 20 years old, I set out to try and create what I did not have. Blessed with a beautiful daughter I searched for the God I had heard of, but never met. Searching all the wrong places and trapped in the same loneliness I started out with, my marriage ended in divorce after only eight years. Still lonely, confused and empty, I was reacquainted with a childhood friend who seemed to have everything I was yearning for. After a long discussion about life’s troubles, I told her I was looking for the peace like I knew her and her family enjoyed. She shared her faith with me and invited me to church. On a beautiful Fall day, I accepted her invitation, not knowing this day would change me forever. Convicted that day by the Holy Spirit, I, along with the support of my friend and her sister, made my way to the altar. Giving my life to Christ that day started a whirlwind. I still have struggles, as everyone does, but knowing I have God on my side makes them so much more insignificant. On February 14th, 2000, loneliness was conquered. I went on my first date with the husband the Lord sent me. Will and I were married December 22nd, 2001 in our little country church on a hill, Athol Baptist. Setting God at the head of our household, we have achieved several mile stones. We thought that was enough until one Sunday morning after church, I was approached by Ms. Connie Reustle, our music director. She told me I needed a song to sing. Our little church needed more people to sing and participate in the services. Scared and almost paralyzed by fear, I listened to the calling of the Lord. After several hours at the Gospel Shop, I found the perfect song. Singing and practicing for weeks, I finally sang in front of the church. I have been blessed with a church full of encouragement. This past Christmas my husband, my biggest fan, surprised me with an enclosed trailer and complete sound system. Not knowing how to get a music ministry started, my father in-law, Will Reynolds, invited me to the FCA concert in Georgetown, DE. I fell in love with all the people and artists and couldn’t wait to join. I am excited to be a part of such a great group and look forward to meeting all the FCA members. Please feel free to email me anytime at

Revived Trio
Revived started out in the 1990's as "The Sounds of Grace". They sang for about fifteen years in many churches over a five state area. In about 2005 "Sounds of Grace" decided to disband, and became "Revived", co-founded by Norman Oates. They were a quartet until 2008, when Norman Oates was called home to be with the Lord. Now they have become a trio and are carrying on Norman's last wishes, to carry on with Revived and to sing for the Lord. The Trio consists of Ron Messick (co-founder of Revived) Galen Queen, and Jill Queen, Galen's wife. They would love to come to Minister to your church family and spread the News of Jesus Christ. They love the Lord with all their hearts, which is so evident in their songs and Spirits. You will be blessed to have them in your Church, or function.

The Reustles
(Pronounced Russell)
"I know God has had His hand on my life and my husband Allen's life since our childhood. I thank Him for that! Growing up in Church, I began singing with my mother at a very young age. As I grew older I sang with my Mother, Aunt, and Cousin, forming the "Full Gospel Quartet". My Grandfather was a Minister, and had an old Fishing Campmeeting in Laurel, Delaware, as well as a radio Ministry on WSUX radio station in Seaford, Delaware, where Allen and I sang for many years. Later on I sang with my Mother and Sister as the "Rementer Family Trio". I played piano and Allen played bass. Allen and I sing in our local church, Athol Baptist Church, in Mardela Springs, Maryland, where we are also the Music Directors. We have also been invited to sing in other churches. We sing at six different assisted living facilities every month. I play the piano, a little harmonica, and am taking violin lessons. Allen plays the guitar and bass guitar. We love singing the Gospel, but to God be the Glory!!!" What a wonderful couple! They will bring a smile to your face and tears to your eyes, all at the same time.

Will Reynolds
In Will's words:
"I came from a humble hard working country family, grew up just outside of Newark, Delaware. I went to a Methodist Church until the age of 15 years old, then went "wild in the world". I was married at the age of 19 to my lovely wife Shirley, and was told it would never last. Forty years later we are still in love. I always had the Lord in my heart, but never gave anything back, even though I knew He had His hand on me all the time. Then one December morning in 2004, while on a table in a hospital cath lab in Salisbury, MD, He kicked the door open and told me "You're Mine". He could have taken me home then, but He put me back for a reason. I figured it was to do His work. Now after giving my heart to Him at a little Baptist Church, I am a Deacon, Junior Church Leader, and travel with our Church ministry to nursing homes, Christian shelters, and any other place we are called to or needed, to bring the Lord to shut-ins, or people that just need to know Him. I am not a singer, though I am working on that. I do recitations and offer my help in any way that He might use me. If I might be of any help to you or your Church or Ministry, please call and contact me."

Christal Kahles
Poet, Author, Speaker, Songwriter, Evangelist
"Keeping the Dream Alive"
Philippians 3:4
Christal is a very gifted author and speaker who began writing at the age of 11, when "special needs" kept her somewhat isolated from the public. Christal's love for the Lord and for others prompted her to dream of one day being a published author. The Lord saw that her dream came to completion fifteen years later with her book "In the Garden". It is a lovely book about the strength that comes from the Lord when we need it most. Christal believes her book is a miracle, a gift from God. Knowing that people with "special needs" as she is, are never expected to do something so unlikely as to write a book, Christal is a testimony in herself as to the loving Power of God! Her book has sold many copies, and touched many lives in so many ways. Christal and her Mom Julie now travel together, Christal telling others of the wonderful ways God has worked miracles in her life, with Julie there to support her, and use her own Evangelism tools to reach out in song. The message is always the same, "God's Grace Is Sufficient". Their home base is Cinncinati, Ohio.

       Carol Collins
 Gospel Music Songwriter and Composer
See that Joy? That is Carol! She always has a joyful way about her. What an advertisement for the Joy Of The Lord! This picture was snapped at a gathering of friends and Gospel Artists. She doesn't like her picture taken, but gave us permission to use it for FCA. Her husband Bud is beside her, as he always is, supporting her in everything she does, and everything she does is for our Lord. She has written and composed 77 Gospel songs as of today! She receives new ones from God almost on a daily basis. She has had two of them recorded and played on the radio, "God's Soldiers" and "Fire In My Feet", wonderful songs! They both reached number one status on Radioactive Airplay, "God's  Soldiers" being the number one Country Gospel song downloaded by DJ's for 3 weeks! She is very family oriented, but God is number one in her life. In her words "Every song I write is a miracle". She plays the piano to write her songs, but doesn't know how to play chords, though her hands fly over those keys. She says "The Lord takes over my hands". If you are looking for an original song, please contact her.  She doesn't sing, so wants singers to have her songs, so they will be heard. Contact her at spokes@verizon.net
