Jeffrey McClendon
"The Next Gospel Great"
 

 

A Native of Carrollton, Georgia, Jeffrey McClendon’s music career began at the age of seven years old.  His mother and grandmother noticed how he always sang along with the preacher and the choir, so they put him up to sing before the people, and well, as they say, “the rest is history.”

 

He has been a background singer and bass player for True Saints featuring Mama, The Fantastic Violonaires, and The Soul Stirrers.  He has shared the stage with gospel greats such as: Marvin Sapp, Helen Baylor, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Commissioned, Williams Brothers, Canton Spirituals, Might Clouds of Joy, Gospel Keynotes, Pilgrim Jubilees, Georgia Mass Choir, Mississippi Mass Choir, The Hawkins Family, Al Green, and the Florida Mass Choir. In 1990, McClendon performed for the government of Athens, Greece.

 

Pastor McClendon has an intrinsic ability to minister under the anointing of God through song to bring healing to the body of Christ. This gift from God has created many opportunities for him to minister for praise and worship conferences and other events nationwide. He is a much sought after evangelist who truly flows in a great anointing and deliverance ministry.   As a national evangelist, he travels the country ministering to lost souls and winning many to Christ.

 

His goals in the music industry are “to bring people into the presence of God through praise and worship and to be a part of the great revival God is bringing to the body of Christ as a whole.”

 

In 2007, McClendon signed as an artist under the management of Excellent Way Enterprises, which is owned and operated by Minister Charlotte Dudley.   In 2007, McClendon signed as an artist under the management of Excellent Way Enterprises, which is owned and operated by Minister Charlotte Dudley.  McClendon recorded his first solo CD entitled, "Praise in My Heart,” live in October 2008.

 Troy Huff

"The Family Comedian"

 

Troy Huff was born August 19, 1971. Troy’s mother and father divorced when he was very young thus causing him to grow up in a single parent home.  Even though his father was absent from the home, his mother defied the odds by providing for he and his two sisters on a very limited income.  Regardless of his needs being met at home, he was soon introduced to the fast crime-filled streets of Atlanta, where he begin to drift away from the morals and values that had been instilled in him early on in his life. 

 

Despite his struggles and not having his father in his home, Troy went on to graduate from Alonzo Crim High School in Atlanta, Georgia in 1990.  After completing high school he soon met Tracine Loranda Huff, whom he dated for a total of eight years.  They were married in 1998.  Soon after their union, they were blessed with two sons, Troytavius Huff and Treyvion Huff. 

 

Troy continued to live a fast lifestyle that almost ended his life.  After a brush with death when he was shot multiple times, he had a lot of time to think about his life and where he was heading.  He soon found God and decided that a fast life of selling drugs, getting run over by a car and being the victim of street violence would not stop him from pursing the new found mission that his heavenly father had for him.  Troy made a promise to himself and to God that he would complete the task that God chose for him and that he would choose the right path.

 

Troy reflected back to the words of his twelfth grade teacher, Ms. Lamar, who told him that he had talent.  He would always complete his daily assignments first, then he would go on to entertain the class by telling jokes.  Ms. Lamar thought that Troy was so that she challenged him with telling jokes for the end of the year Awards Show.

 

Troy then realized that he could impact lives in a positive way and that comedy was in fact one of his callings.  He started on his quest as a comedian to reach major audiences by appearing at the Chris Tucker Comedy Club where he has appeared on stage with comedians that are known throughout the world such as Chris Tucker, Bruce Bruce, Mike Epps, Rick Smiley, and Dexter Tucker.  He has also studied acting under world renowned, Carla Jones.

 

Troy travels the country doing stand up comedy, acting in theatrical plays and speaking to youth in churches and schools about living a positive life for God.  He is anointed to make you laugh and cause you to desire to live a life that is pleasing to God.

 

 Hannah Thomas

"The Fierce Dancer"

 

 

Hannah Dudley is a native of metro Atlanta.  She is currently a Light Dancer and a dance Instructor at Light of the World Christian Ministries where her leaders are Senior Pastor, Bishop Ruth W. Smith, and Executive Pastor, Elder R. David Ware.  Hannah also sings in the choir and serves on the Pastoral Care ministry. 

 

She attends DeKalb High School of the Arts where she auditioned and dances in the Dance Repretory Company at the school.  Hannah is a former Jr. Hawks Dancer and Jr. Falcons Cheerleader.  In addition, she danced for the Juanita Bynum Threshing Floor Conference, “I Am Not Forgotten,” and “Victory.”  Hannah has received over 10 years of dance training at various studios in Metro Atlanta and has competed on the national level and received several awards.  Last year, she performed at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom with dancers from DeKalb Elementary School of the Arts.

 

Hannah opened her own dance studio at the age of 12 – Glorious Praise Dance.  She began with a summer dance program in 2006 with 35 students.  She doesn’t turn anyone away because of their inability to pay for the classes.  Her primary reason for starting the school was to provide Christian dancers with a place to learn technical dance skills.  Only gospel music is used and the movements are those acceptable in a sanctuary atmosphere – something you rarely find in a traditional dance school.

 

Hannah loves to read, write poetry and short stories, and spend time with her family.  She has one book of poetry published and is working on a series of chapter books for teens.  She has a heart for people and always looks for ways to be a blessing to others. 

 

Hannah lives in Lithonia, Georgia with her family.
