Gary Bates

Gary was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. Although as a boy and teenager he attended church, he never had a personal relationship with Jesus as Messiah. After many years of alcohol and drug abuse he was delivered by the Power of God's Holy Spirit and became a born-again Christian in 1987. He is the husband to his wonderful wife Angela and the father to one son, Keith who is married to his wonderful wife Jenni.

He was the assistant to the C.E.O. of Final Hour Ministries, singer/songwriter and co-producer of Y'shua's music for many years. Gary has been used in various speaking, music and preaching venues both nationally and internationally.

Angela Bates

Angela was born in Champaign Il. In 1988 she gave her life to the Lord and became a born again Christian. Since that time Angela has had a heart for deep worship and intimacy with the Lord and also loves to spend time in prayer and worship.

Angela not only has a heart to praise and worship thru music, but also is a licensed O.T. and has traveled nationally to assist in therapy workshops, as time would allow. She has such a heart for those children who are not able to use there bodies and limbs as most of us, but believes Gods� healing touch flows as she uses the tools of therapy and touch to each individual that she has the opportunity to serve through the profession of Occupational Therapy.

Angela sings and plays keyboards and has played on many recording projects with her husband Gary Bates. Angela flows in the spontaneous and prophetic moment as the Holy Spirit leads. If King David was a man after Gods own heart, Angela is a woman after Gods own heart.
