They started going to Calvary Chapel of Albuquerque and started growing in the Lord. The youth pastor of that church needed some musicians to help his Tuesday night youth group meeting. He asked Jean-Luc and Yves to join him in leading worship. This youth pastor's name was Pete Nelson. Pete had never played electric guitar in his life; but God is a God of surprises. Just when we know what's going on and where were going, God does a new and exciting thing. Pete and Jean-Luc got together after a leader's meeting for the youth group at Pete's house and wrote a song together: "Letter of love". This became a song on their first album. They started writing songs & playing around the city for different youth rallies. The rest is HIS-story.

Their purpose is still the same though: to provide believers with a tool (music) to reach their unsaved friends, to provide a place (concert) for them to bring their friends to hear the message of the cross, and to see people come to Christ through the lyrics, preaching, altar calls, etc. To be ministers of the word by taking advantage of the powerful medium of music to bring our generation to a knowledge of God's character and give them a clear understanding of the gospel of Jesus. That is the heart of these guys. They consider themselves ministers first who have been gifted with music talents, creating the band as a natural platform to present a portion of their ministry.

The band has five albums out altogether: "I'll Find You There", "You", "Unplugged", "What about Now". Their newest release is titled: "Let Me Say". They have toured around the U.S., traveled to different countries to evangelize through their music, etc. They have ministered in Israel, Russia, Australia, Canada, France, England, Africa and many other countries. They are involved with the Harvest Crusades with Greg Laurie, Compassion International, Lifeline Missions of Albuquerque, Focus on the Family "Life on the Edge" tour, and other ministries.

They have touched the lives of innumerable people through their ministry and they consider themselves blessed to have been given the grace to write, share and travel. Most importantly is that they have been entrusted with a ministry that continues to grow and that God is using to bear eternal fruit. They understand the importance of covering the band in prayer, having accountability, and supporting each other's individual gifting in the expansion of God's kingdom. By doing so they can continue to create passionate music and develop a high quality concert that brings a clear, relevant gospel message and worship experience.

"For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!" Cor 9:16

They want to take one year at a time to prayerfully plan each concert and tour that will take place. They want to have music recordings that continue to advance and mature while the message remains consistent, clear and edifying.

The greatest desire for the band is to see God use a ministry that changes thousands of lives for Jesus, and will make an impact that will go far beyond the actual concert. Ultimately, to see converts to later become disciples to equip the next generation of leaders in the church. That's not only the heart of this ministry, but that's the heart of these guys individually as well.

God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty 1 Cor 1:2

"Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God." 2 Cor 5:20

That is the vision that the Kry has been following for nearly 9 years now, to make known the love of God through Jesus Christ in a world that is desperately looking for answers in all the wrong places. How did that vision start?
