The Meltons in Revival at First Christian Church

January 16, 2004

For the past 18 years. The Meltons have been traveling from coast to coast averaging some 6000 miles per month. George and David preached 17 revival meetings last year, and the family sang and conducted the music for those 17, plus 8 more, as well as doing some 200 concerts for churches, conventions, mens' retreats, ladies' retreats, and family retreats.

Mark your calendar to hear the Meltons at the First Christian Church, 100 E 7^th Street Saturday through Wednesday, January 24-28 starting at 7 p.m. each night.

Fifty years and going strong! George Melton and Southern Gospel Music have been synonymous for over 50 years. Since his high school days in southern Illinois, George has continued to use the clear, high range of his gifted first tenor voice in beautiful proclamation of the Gospel in song.

Among his musical credits come names like The Ambassadors Quartet; the Claiborne Brothers Quartet, and the Gospelaires Quartet. In 1967, George and his friends organized "The Gospel Lads" Quartet. George was with the quartet for nearly six of the twenty five years they traveled from coast to coast and around the world. For 16 years the family lived in East Peoria, IL while raising their five children. George and his son David are ordained ministers of the Gospel and have ministered in churches nationwide.

The Melton Family Singers are made up of George and his wife Nedra, and one son, David and his wife Krista. Krista is from Little Sioux, Iowa and met David while in her own solo ministry. The Meltons travel all but for about 4 or 5 days a month in the work.

The Melton families' objective is to be faithful first to God's call on their lives by proclaiming the Word through the ministry of singing and preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. As they invest their God-given talents, their testimony is a great encouragement to families everywhere to be faithful to the Lord and His Word.
