The ministry of the Jay Stone Singers began in the
small North Carolina town of Hope Mills in October
of 1976. Jay Stone, the group's founder, was
serving as the choir director at his home church,
Mount Carmel Pentecostal Holiness, in Fayetteville,
NC. Having been involved with various local Southern
Gospel groups for most of his adult life; Jay was
beginning to feel that God was directing him to take
his ministry back on the road. However, this time
would be different because the group was to be made
up of Jay, his wife Mary, their 13 year old son
Jeff, their 11 year old daughter Sharona, and a few
close friends.
In June of 1984 Bobby Carter joined the group to
sing tenor and play the bass guitar. Bobby and
Sharona were married in November of 1987.
In January of 2010 Jay and Mary Stone decided it was
time to retire from all of the traveling. They
continue to support this ministry through their
continuous prayers as well as managing the group
business.
Today’s group consists of Bobby and Sharona Carter
and their children, Stone Carter, 16 and Emma
Carter, 13. During the last 34 years of ministering
through song, they have traveled in 19 states,
Canada and Mexico. The Jay Stone Singers have
recorded ten projects over the years. They have just
finished their 11th project which was
recorded with Crossroads Music on the Pinnacle
Label.
This family group provides an exciting evangelistic
ministry. Their desire is to witness to the lost,
encourage the hurting and motivate others to grow
the Kingdom of God. The close family harmonies are
sure to please your ears, but the anointing and love
of God will stir your soul. |
