Favorite Southern Gospel Group: Kingsmen and The Perrys

          Pam and I could never be as thankful and we should be for the blessing we now are enjoying at this point of our life by being able to serve God by doing something we love so much, with those we love so much; and that is with our children, each other, and Caleb Cowan. I was born in May of 1964, and Pam in December of 1964, but the most important birth I had was in May of 1973, my spiritual birth. I was just 9 years old when at an old 3 room schoolhouse my dad, Bro. Floyd Sneed, a baptist preacher, and Bro. Carroll Medley was holding a revival meeting. The meeting had been going on for a week. It was on a Sunday night that after the preaching I felt something that I had never felt before, and that was the convicting spirit of God. I began to cry, and not wanting to deceive or hinder me, my dad came and just asked "Son, are you sick?" Yes, I was sick, but it was not a physical sickness, but a spiritual sickness. I clearly remember sliding two old folding chairs apart and began to call upon God. Then two of my friends also went to the altar and they were saved before me that night. The devil tried to make me believe that God was not going to save me. It was then, in a split second, that God touched my heart with His hand of love. This is the birth where it all started. An ironic thing that also happened in our life is that the year I was saved in May, that in July of that same year my Dad was preaching at a brush arbor meeting and Pam was saved that night. We did not even know her and her family at this point. But several years later, my dad started pastoring Lawrence Chapel Baptist Church in Barren Co., Ky, and Pam and her parents started attending and joined the church there. It was then over the next few years that I realized I have met the love of my life. In April of 1985 Pam and I were married. We were blessed with our first child, Amanda in 1990, in 1993 our son Seth, then in 1998 a third child, Jacob. We ask anyone who reads this to please pray for our family and Glory Bound. Also, pray that the children will always have their desire to sing praises to our Lord and King.  Along with singing, we still try to support and back our home church, Bon Ayr Missionary Baptist. We have been a member there since March of 1991. On March 29, 1998 I was ordained as a deacon. We love to sing and travel, but we still see the need to help and back our home church. So, again I ask that you pray for all our efforts that we try to make toward our God, and that he would take a message in song to touch many people along this journey.

CALEB COWAN

 

Favorite Pastimes: Talking on the phone, shopping, aggravating Pam(ha ha!), and spending time with Amanda.

 

Favorite Food: Spaghetti, any kind of fruit, Big Momma's (Pam's) cooking. 

 

Musical Influences: Naomi Sego (the greatest in the history of music!), Allison Krauss, and Jerry Douglas.

 

         Caleb, at age 21, brings with him much experience in Southern Gospel Music. Caleb sang with Naomi and The Segos for 4 years before joining the group. While with Naomi,he was with the Gaither Homecoming Tour appearing all across the nation. Also during his ministry with Naomi Sego he recorded 5 albums, was nominated two years in a row for "Favorite Baritone" and one year for "Excelling Individual". Naomi and The Segos were also involved with the 2004 Dove Award Nomination of "Mansion Over The Hilltop" tribute to Ira Stamphill. Caleb has performed on the National Quartet Convention main stage with one of the highlights of his career singing for former President Jimmy Carter for President Carter's special Father's Day Celebration in Plains, Georgia. However, the greatest highlight of his stay with Naomi came one day after realizing that  as a child he had been baptized into the Baptist church , but that he did not have a born again experience with God. Then one day while singing the song "Sinners Prayer" with Naomi, it was then that a rebirth took place within his Heart.  Ever since Caleb has been able to not only sing but to feel each song within his soul which is expressed to the audience each time that he sings.
