CRUMP'S STORE
Crump's Store, one of the
few remaining "old country
stores", was built in 1925 at
the intersection of what is
now Beach and Winterpock
Roads in Chesterfield
County.  Julian Crump (born
1872) built it for his son,
Stanley Crump, who was
then 19 years old.  Julian
felt it was time for Stanley
to grow up and settle down
and to stop running up and
down the dirt road in his
Motel T Ford!  Stanley then
operated the store for 52
years until his health
declined.  Its first customers
came by horse and buggy or
in the newly invented
automobile.  Stanley and his
wife lived in the back of the
store and their two sons
were actually born there.

The store is currently
owned and operated by
Stanley Crump's
grand-daughter, Suzanne
and her husband Don Rudd.
 They took it over in 1994.  
As a child, Suzanne lived in
the back of the store with
her parents until they
moved when she was
three.  Don and Suzanne's
son, Mason, worked at the
store as a teenager,
representing the fifth
generation of the family.

This one-room store has
been a country store, local
meeting place, and
community focal point since
1925.  It was in existence
before paved roads,
telephones, and electricity
were available in the area.  
This store, which has been
in continuous operation for
84 years, still has its original
old wooden floors.  Today,
Crump's Store is known far
and wide for its good food.  
In 2007, it won a contest
for the best chili dog in
Chesterfield County!

King Country Agape Fest and King Country Radio
Our Texas trip has come and gone and we are still excited about it all.
There were many great artists there to meet and fellowship with.
Granbury is a beautiful "Mayberry" type town. And if you mess up in this town, well you would answer
to the Historic Granbury Gunslingers, complete with their own Sheriff, Deputies and Guns.  Several
of our artists and their family members were even arrested.  Yep, arrested-and released quickly and
safely back into the custody of their loved ones.  Chip was one of those arrested-It was so funny and I
am sure he will tell you all about it.
In the Center of Granbury Square there is a large clock that can be seen from the highway as you
travel towards the square.  There are many quaint shops  to eat at, shop at, visit and enjoy.  Our
"Head Quarters" (so to speak) was the beautiful Celebration Hall which was right next to Granbury
Live.  Some of the venues we sang at were:  The Coffee Grinder, Alaya Mexican Restaurant (mmmm
mmmm - mucho good!), Bisque Patio, Stringfellows, Pearl Street Station and Rinky Tink's Ice Cream
(where two souls accepted Christ as their Savior)-This is what it's all about!  Every day started with
Praise and Worship led by David House-what a blessed time! Then our day continued with seminars
to encourage and build  ministry.  The seminars were led by several of the more experienced artists,
producers, publishers, etc (Robert Jason, Brett Hill, Amanda Fessant, Lisa Brooks, Tommy and
Michelle Brandt, etc).  Then everyday from 12 noon to 5pm the artists would go out to the venues
and just about every 10-15 minutes you could enjoy each of them with time to fellowship, eat, and
shop in between.  At night there would be different shows such as the Top 5 Show, The Bob Wilson
Tribute, The Talent Contest and of course the King Country Award Show.  After hours, there was a
jam session at Pearl Street Station or the Hotel
Okay, I guess I've kept you in suspense long enough.  It was during the Awards Show and even at the
seminars that the message to us was loud and clear...Jesus is most important in your ministry and
everything else will follow. Chip and I heard it over and over again.  Then at the Awards Show, it
really kicked in because as they announced the names of the Top 5 Nominees I realized that I could
win, but was it time?  And so, they would announce, "The Top 5 Nominees are..."  It even sounded
funny hearing all the seasoned artists that I was honored to be in the Top 5 with. For example,
Tommy Brandt, Brett Hill, Russ Murphy, Amanda Fessant and.....Nikki Headley. It was right then
that I knew it was possible to win because I was actually in three of the categories.  But,  it was NOT
my time and I was NOT disappointed. Our ministry is what it is because of God and because we are
willing vessels for the Kingdom of God.  He is good to us all the time and continues to bless us
everyday.  When He is ready and sees it fit for Nikki Headley or Chip to be acknowledged for
obedience to Him, then our name will be called.  Now.....I did win something!!! and my name was
called...whoo hoo!  I won the Talent Contest.  This means that I will get to release a single to radio
thru Tommy Smith and Canyon Creek Records. AND....an appearance on Victoria Lee's show
"Making It Happen" in Tulsa OK.  I told you God is Good!  Chip and I will continue to keep Jesus as
the focus of our ministry and seek to stir souls, change lives, and see souls saved. Plans for next year
are already under way.  We hope you will plan to be with us. It was so awesome to meet so many
wonderful people and hear about their ministries.  God was surely glorified! Just wanna say, "Great
Job" to my new friend, Glorya Wilson!
Listen to

BRANSON GOSPEL MUSIC CONVENTION
Straight from to Texas and on to Branson Missourri we went.  We stayed at an awesome RV park with
several of the artist all camping together.  How cool is that!  Then everyday at the Branson
Convention Center you could hear great music, testimony and even get to spoil yourself with some of
the "pretties" that were sold there by the vendors.  One of the most awesome things that happened
there was Chip's miracle!  He was in such pain and not sure how much he would be able to do-He
drove for such long periods of time that his feet looked like Fred Flintstone feet-lol funny now but not
then.  While walking around we saw many with necklaces that seem to be all the crave.  But it was
when we ran into Debbie Bennett and her husband that the curiosity began.  She had a sneezing fit
and the gentlemen across from her booth asked her about allergies...He was the vendor for "Magnetic
Solutions" (not like the one on TV) and offered for her to try out the necklace to see if it helped with
her allergies.  Well, it did.  Word began to spread and I told Chip, lets go talk to him.  Within minutes
of Chip wearing one of the necklaces, his pain was gone and he was a new man.  We even walked
about 2-3 miles the next night-it exhausted me and the kids but Chip was still going like the energizer
bunny.  Praise the Lord!~  It is still working to this day and I even got an anklet to help me.  There is
much more to it so if you want more info just follow this link
www.emagneticsolutions.com tell them Chip and Nikki sent you!
After a miracle, we needed so good ole music and there was much to be heard.  Day and night
showcases went on everyday plus the 2010 Diamond Awards on Thursday Night!  Again, we met
many new friends and saw others we hadn't seen since last year.  Some were even with us in
Texas-that was cool too!  We thank God for new friends and great times of fellowship!

new single released to radio...
Dancing With the Angels is the new single from the Lead Me Lord  CD.  It is available now to radio.  
We ask that you support this single by calling your local radio stations and requesting it to be played.  
This song is very special to Chip and I.  It is about his Grandmother (Nell Vincent) who passed in
Feb 07. She was quite a woman...a Godly woman.  She would get around in her wheelchair and talk to
strangers about Jesus.  She wore very fancy, special hats that only Grandma's could wear.  She would
come hear us sing and always shout out just what she wanted to hear.  Some of those songs are
mentioned in the lyrics.  Grandma always wondered why the Lord was keeping her here on earth so
long.  I think maybe the He knew how much we'd miss her. She passed in the early afternoon and that
night, God woke me and gave me the words to
Dancing With the Angels.  Chip and I managed to pull
it together enough to sing it at her funeral. Just barely.  It was one of the hardest things either of us
ever had to do.  Chip says the tears are still on his guitar.  There are still times that the memories will
hit me and I struggle to make it through the words.  I can see her in Heaven now and can imagine
how happy she is.  And so, I hope this song blesses the hearts of many and gives comfort to those that
have lost someone special. It has blessed us and we can share Grandma with others.

CAMPMEETING IN CLARKSVILLE ARKANSAS
While we were in Branson, we visited The Night Light -The Beacon of Branson which is a place
where families can come listen to many types of Christian based music and hear the word of God in
music and  testimony.  Information can be found on facebook.  We are so glad we were invited to sing
there.  We had a great time!  Many of the artists from the convention stopped by to sing too.  We are
planning to go back in September and will also be in Clarkville Arkansas on September 16-18 for a
3-day Campmeeting along with Doug Perser of
Perser Melody and many others.  A TV taping is in the
works in Mountain Home Ark which will be broadcast to  over 120,00 viewers on Cable and Antenna
TV.  Look for air dates to be posted on our website.

Chip and I are excited about the scheduling going on, traveling and meeting new friends. Please pray

We continue to pray that others will see our light for Jesus and come to know Him as their personal
Lord and Savior.  Amen!
