A native from Savannah, TN that has been singing since age four and preaching since the age of thirteen. It is the ministry of JOSH FRANKS. He has been in several singing talent contests.

Josh has been to many places and has shared stage in his solo singing with several top groups such as Gold City, Dove Brothers Quartet, The Hemphills, Tony Gore, The Florida Boys, The Nelons, Gospel Enforcers, The Dixie Echoes, The Perrys, The Hoskins Family, The Crabb Family, Gerald Crabb, Mike Bowling, The Galloways, The Anchormen, Palmetto State Quartet, Gospel Enforcers, The Freemans and the list goes on and on. He has recorded 5 solo projects. August 2006, Josh released his newest project entitled, "Hallelujah! Glory! Glory!". His latest three projects have been recorded with Daywind Records in Hendersonville, TN. Not only does he have solo CD’s but preaching CD’s. He has 2 sermons on 2 different CD’s which was recorded from some of his revival services.

God has blessed Josh in more ways than singing or preaching. He is very talented. He can play just about any instrument that he wants to. The good part about it is that he has never had a lesson on anything that he plays. It is truly a gift from God. All Praises be to Him. Josh is truly a soldier of Christ and follower of His footsteps. Not only is Josh a singer and songwriter but God called him into the ministry at a very young age to Preach and he continues today. He loves to Preach about as much as anything. Josh’s ministry has taken him far and wide in many different states. His ministry has taken a huge turn in the past year. God is opening doors for him to sing or preach in places Josh would have never dreamed of. Josh gives credit most of all to the Lord up above but also to his former pastor, Rev. Alvis Barnett. Josh states, "Pastor Barnett and his wife, Arleigh were my pastors while I was growing up. Bro. Barnett was my role model. He was a very talented singer, songwriter, and preacher/pastor. I always wanted to be like him. Bro. Barnett passed away in 1998 and he told me to stay on track with Jesus and he would take me far and wide. I have held on to his words and God has done just that. I miss him very much but I know he is looking down watching me prosper in Jesus."

Josh travels all across the world spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ at fairs, festivals, concert halls, auditoriums, churches, arenas, theaters, and even at gospel supper clubs. Josh’s goal is to see hearts and lives changed in revivals, concerts, or where ever he might be, by the power and anointing of Jesus Christ. If you have never heard Josh, get ready to hear some anointed and exciting music and ministry from JOSH FRANKS.

"In over twenty years of pastoring I have not seen such an anointing on a young man as I did Josh Franks. He was truly refreshing and an inspiration to the entire congregation as well as myself. The combination of singing and preaching is rare these days. I would highly recommend Bro. Josh for concerts as well as revivals."
-Pastor David M. Ellsworth/Galena Assembly of God (Galena, MO)

"Josh's talent can speak for itself, but Ministry goes beyond just talent. The Anointing is what touch's the Heart! Josh knows how to let God use him. Darrell and I are partial to the youth, when it comes to working for the lord. I was just 17 years old when I joined the Hinson's, and Darrell just 13 when he joined his family's ministry. Yes, we believe in Josh's calling, as the Prophet Joel once said, In the last days God will pour out his spirit on all people. Our sons and daughters will prophecy and young men will see visions. We are there right now! We feel that Josh truly has a Vision!....."
