Mercy's Well Expands Their Music and Ministry With A Strong Addition To The Group

Nashville, TN (January 30, 2014) – Stellar vocal trio, Mercy's Well, is pleased to announce a powerful addition to their ministry team. They are thrilled to welcome pianist, Josh Simpson, to the group.

Simpson is no stranger to Gospel music having toured with such artists as Brian Free & Assurance, the Hoppers, and Gold City. He started playing the piano at the age of six and his God-given gift is now a full-time part of the steady and solid music ministry of Mercy's Well.

Brad Strider, group owner and tenor singer, expresses, "Over the years, we have really sought a fine balance with our audiences in sharing a variety of styles. Our focus is and will always be to bring a message of the hope of Christ. We want that message not to be just heard, but also felt. One of the ways we have seen that effort be more effectively executed is with the powerful tool of live music. To have Josh play along side us has re-energized the effectiveness of our music and ministry. In this day and age we have little time to waste in reaching out to a broken world with the message of the HOPE of Christ. We are so grateful for the way God is guiding us in our efforts to love people to Him."

The group's latest single written by Dianne Wilkinson, "More Like Jesus, Less Like Me," landed at Christian radio this week. They are currently in the process of a brand new recording and are working, once again, with award-winning music producer, Donna King.
This new recording is slated for a Spring 2014 release.

Mercy's Well News

From Mercy's Well News September 26, 2013:

Fall is officially upon us! Cool, crisp evenings, football games and church homecomings are all in full swing! With the change of seasons also comes a change in seasons for Mercy's Well. As many of you know, nearly two weeks ago we said farewell to longtime MW vocalist, Kyle King. Kyle is pursuing other musical interests and we wish him the best in all his future endeavors. We are so thrilled to officially welcome Dustin Simmons of Dahlonega, GA to our team. Make plans to come see Mercy's Well and meet Dustin when we are in your area.

The last few weeks have been busy! We sang twice at the final NQC in Louisville, KY, including our first ever appearance on main stage in Freedom Hall. It was an exciting week filled with great music, great fellowship, and friends we only get to see once a year. Later that week, we traveled to West Fayetteville Baptist Church in Fayetteville, NC for one of those "homecomings" I mentioned earlier and then finished out the weekend in Seagrove, NC. I want to personally thank Bill and Sue Spencer for helping make that evening such a success. They did an amazing job getting the word out. The church was packed and it was a great night! It was that night we officially said farewell to Kyle and debuted Dustin to a Mercy's Well audience. The reception was incredible! Thank you to all who were in attendance.

After rehearsals the following week, it was time for Dustin to fly solo, so to speak, on platform with Greg and myself. This past weekend, we were in services at Freedom Baptist Church in Axton, VA all day long with Pastor Larry Luffman. What a great day and a great first outing for the "NEW" Mercy's Well.

It's almost time to hit the road for this weekend's dates. If we are in your area, please come see us!

I have been reminded of a passage several times this week. It's familiar to us all but it has seemed to ring more true to me over the past few weeks:

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" - Proverbs 3:5-6

Trusting HIM for direction will always take you down the right road.

Have a great weekend!

In Christ Alone,
Brad, Greg & Dustin
Mercy's Well

Mercy’s Well Announces Changes and Welcomes A New Lead Singer

Nashville, TN (August 27, 2013) – It is with mixed emotions that vocal trio Mercy’s Well announces changes to their line up.
Lead singer, Kyle King, will be making his departure in mid September and, after a month of auditions and hearing many talented prospective singers, the group will be welcoming a powerhouse new vocalist. Dustin Simmons, of Dahlonega, Georgia, will make his debut appearance as the new lead singer for Mercy’s Well on September 22, 2013.
King, who has been a tremendous blessing to the group for many years, has felt God leading him in a new direction. He will be setting sail aboard a cruise ship, continuing to use the gifts God has given him but in a very new way. “It’s hard to describe, in words, the last three-and-a-half years I’ve been a part of Mercy’s Well, but I will try: privileged, humbled, and thankful,” shares Kyle. He continues, “I’m privileged to have experienced hundreds of worship services in multiple states, countries, and cultures; humbled to have been a witness of God’s amazing power at work in the lives of His people; and thankful to all the many friends, fans, and supporters of this ministry. My time with the group has truly been a blessing, and I look forward to seeing how God will continue to use each of us, for His glory, in years to come.”
Dustin and his wife, Morgan, will be relocating to North Carolina in the coming months and are very anxious and blessed to see Dustin following God’s plans for him in full-time music ministry. He has been singing for most of his life, including a 5 year tenure with the regional group Omega.
Mercy’s Well founder and tenor, Brad Strider, expresses, “A couple of months ago Kyle came to me and shared that he felt God leading him in a different direction. Anyone that knows me knows I don’t like change, but sometimes change can be God’s way of making everyone affected stronger. While we are sad to see Kyle go, we are excited about the future of Mercy’s Well with Dustin as part of our team.”
Mercy’s Well is making plans for a new recording in early 2014.
