Annie Moses Band: Faith, Family and Music airing on the Daystar Television Network Saturdays at 8:30 pm ET / 7:30pm CT
(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 31, 2010 ) Boca Raton, FL - In Proverbs 22:6, the Bible reads, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." A wise pastor once said, "Train up a child in the way he should go, follow it yourself, and he will follow you."How very true
The story starts with Annie Moses who is the band's namesake. Annie worked in Texas as a hired field hand in the cotton field. She did her best to nurture the musical gifts in her daughter, Jane and by doing so those seeds of faithfulness and loving sacrifice blossomed through the generations.
The Lord gave Annie's granddaughter Robin a divine idea in college. Robin Wolaver says, We had some Suzuki violinists that came and played in our music survey class. There was a little-bitty girl from Asia, and she was so tiny and cute. She had a violin God spoke to me at that point and said, When you have a little girl, they should do that.' And, Robin did give birth to a beautiful little girl and named her.Annie. Five more children followed but having a band with six kids certainly wasn't in their plans.
We didn't have any idea this would happen, says Bill Wolaver. We did want a large family and wanted to have children.
Annie says, As each child came of age, our parents really prayed and considered our talents and our personalities to determine what the best instrument would be. Things just kind of grew gradually from there.
Around four years old, they each began lessons at Vanderbilt University's Blair School of Music. During those early years, the children accepted Christ. Their parents encouraged them with prayer, patience and one-on-one practice sessions.
Eventually practicing becomes like homework, Alex, second oldest, explains. You didn't want to do it anymore than you do your homework, but mom's rule was always: You can quit anytime as long as you're not down. You have to quit after you've had something extremely successful happen -- a competition you've won or a performance; however when that happens you never want to quit.
Their discipline paid off. Annie, Alex and Benjamin studied at the Julliard School of Music on scholarship. During that time they felt a God-given desire to form a family band. They never looked back.
Ben says, It's just so much fun playing with my siblings. It's just a really invigorating experience.
I have learned so much about Jesus and trusting in Him through this process, Annie says. We grew up reading all these wonderful Psalms where it talks about praising Him with the strings and playing skillfully. So hopefully we will be able to make His praise glorious.
Annie says, The Annie Moses Band is really a celebration of four generations of that legacy of faith and family and music coming together and hopefully creating something that's a very powerful message for our generation.
