Greetings from the BBG camp! We hope everyone that is reading this has had a wonderful summer so far, spending time with the kids, grandkids, family and friends.

At the Hale camp- Jennifer has made an awesome recovery and Kanaan has done a great job filling in for her on the fiddle. The Hales bought a pool this summer and the kids have been wearing it out including Ronald (I have been on a diet so I can apply for a life-guard position over there before it gets to cold). Kanaan has her first full time job this summer babysitting, Sawyer has grown another foot and Ivy takes care of their new pup "Pete". Jennifer spends most of her time chasing the kids around and cooking food for Ronald.

At the Burrow camp- Christie is still taking care of her folk's farm; 5 poultry houses with 35,000 chickens. Abi has attended almost every Bible School within a 10 mile radius. We have spent some quality time at the lake too. BUT....with all this being said, the most exciting news right now is..........ABI is going to be a big sister!! yes that's right..WE ARE EXPECTING A BABY IN MARCH!!!!!! We are so excited that God is allowing us to bring another child in to this world! Be praying for us.

BLESSINGS that our little minds cannot comprehend and for these, we give HIM all the praise and glory.

Hello Everyone!

I apologize for such a long gap between the last update. Many of you that follow our FaceBook page is probably aware of some of the challenges that we have encountered within the last few months. If you are out of the loop, I will give you a brief update. Jennifer was diagnosed with breast cancer in February. It was caught as early as it could be. I'm not going to go in to much detail, because maybe she will be give us an update on here soon....to tell her story. I will say however that she had surgery and everything went great. She did not require chemo or radiation and now has been released for 6 mos. Recovery has caused us to reschedule and move some singing dates around. But we are so excited to announce that after 4 1/2 months, we are back on schedule.

Over the last few months, God has been speaking to each one of us individually. He has given us the peace and assurance knowing that we are where He needs us to be as far as our ministry. Each one of us have grown closer with our walk. His Holy Spirit has been moving and has shown us that true peace cannot be found from anything on this earth, only through Him. Even through all the trials that BBG has been through over the last few years including employment, health issues and theft, God has never left our side. We praise His Holy Name and find ourselves so unworthy of the blessings that He has given us through these tough times.

We have a story to tell.................

Thank you all for your continuing prayers. May God richly bless each and every one of you.

Well, here we go! It's cold, the smell of smoke from fireplaces is in the air. I love this time of year!

This is also when BBG takes a few weeks off to spend time with our family and friends. 2010 was yet another awesome yet challenging year for us. With each and every trial, comes blessings that we seem so unworthy to receive. Our motto has always been to bring a little hope and encouragement to those in the places that we sing. This year, we found that those people showed just the same thing to us. We are truly blessed to have such an awesome group of Christian people willing to reach out and help us in time of need.

As we enter the Christmas season and the New Year, our prayer is that all of you will have safe, healthy and joyous times with your families. Keep in touch and visit the newsletter page again soon after the first of the year for some new exciting things scheduled for 2011.

May God Bless each and every one of you.

Hello everyone! We are excited to be back online once again. I'm not real sure as to what happened to our other site, but it vanished! A special thanks to Josh Ward for stepping in and taking this bull by the horns...he has done a great job!

2010 has been a special year for us. Not only did our website vanish, but so did our equipment! Back in April, while our bus was in for repairs, our trailer was stolen out of our yard during the night. This trailer had every CD, amp, speaker, cables...you name it inside except our instruments. It was never recovered and our insurance didn't pay either.

Then the most amazing thing happened, communities, churches, and other gospel groups started helping us out in ways that no words could describe. People from all over the southeast started calling and sending letters offering prayers and financial help. At that time, we were looking ahead at a very busy schedule, a new Cd project in the works, a bus in the shop and we had not the first bit of equipment. But then the Holy Spirit began to move in such a way, needs were being met, and everything that we needed was supplied without ever missing the first singing! I know that we may never get to personally thank each and every one that helped us out, but I do know that God will bless you in His own special way. We finished our CD, and we have dedicated it to all of you.

We love you and thank you for an amazing 10 years.

Hopefully, we will see you again sometime real soon. Check our schedule and come visit with us.

God Bless,

Ron B.
