New Jersey native Vincent Walker, Jr. carries on a strong legacy of Gospel music as the Founder & Director of the urban-contemporary singing group, Testimonies of Joy. As a child, music was almost equivalent to breathing to the young Vincent as he watched his father, the late Vincent Walker, Sr. sing and play his bass guitar with soul and power for the likes of Shirley Caesar, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, The Royal Travelers, The Morgan Singers, and a host of other Gospel music groups. A singer, songwriter, and worship leader in his own right, Vincent followed his heart and pursued the Lord to live out his musical dreams. Vincent's ministry was birthed in 1991 where he was a member of New Jersey..s St. Pauls Fire Baptized Holiness Church under the leadership of the late Nathaniel Simmons. There he served diligently for nine years as a member of the St. Paul Inspirational Choir (today known as Natalie Wilson & The SOP Chorale). He recorded with the group on their sophomore project, Not the Same, where he had the opportunity to display his gift and exceptional vocal prowess on the song, I Am the Righteousness. During that time, Vincent also developed his production skills as he worked under the tutelage of producers/song-writers/arrangers, Joe, Flip Wilson, James Perry, and Derrick Lee.
Vincent has worked with other noted Gospel artists singing background vocals for Karen Clark-Sheard, Kim Burrell, Carnell, Marrell, St. Paul Concert Choir, and doing studio work for Rev. E.T. Byrd, Donald Malloy, and Natalie Wilson & The SOP Chorale. He shared the same stage in leading and elevating praise and worship in concerts for featured artists, such as Hezekiah Walker, Tye Tribbett & GA, Martha Munizzi, Smokie Norful, James Hall and Worship & Praise, Helen Baylor, Lashun Pace, Kim Burrell, and Dorinda Clark-Cole just to name a few.
In 1998, Vincent founded the music ministry, Testimonies of Joy, a group of talented young adults who hit the pavement running and are making a powerful presence on the urban Gospel music scene. Testimonies of Joy placed first out of ten choirs from different states at the Six Flags Great Adventure Choir Search 2001. The group took the trophy for the Adult Group category of the McDonald..s Gospel Fest in New York City in 2002 in that same year the group traveled to Paris, France to be featured on the hit stage play Freedom the Opera Gospel... Now you can experience the anointing and powerful sounds of Vincent Walker & The Testimonies of Joy on their freshmen CD release the ..Book of Testimonies Chapter 1. It hasn't been very long, but God is showing His faithfulness by anointing and setting His approval on Vincent..s call to obedience.
What an awesome Testimony of Joy!

Your Freedom & Liberty........ "Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." "Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." "James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
Philosophy, tradition, or being worldly & politically correct will not gain anyone the freedom and liberty that our Lord Jesus Christ made available to us. But when we we love our neighbor as our self, then we gain great freedom, as we in our own way serve each other as God has enabled us.
STOP BY TO SHOW YOU SOME SOUTHERNLY LOVE AND WISH YOU A VERY BLESSED BIRTHDAY.I HOPE YOUR EVERY WISH WAS GRANTED AND YOU RECIEVED ALL YOU WISHED FOR.TAKE CARE MY FRIEND AND GOD BLESS.
This is why Sista Gurl do what we do, we are not afraid to talk about molestation. The staff of Sista Gurl was out spending the word of awareness about molestation. When some people hear what we have to say, they claim up, they didn’t want to hear anymore and walk away. Neatness to say most of those people who walk away have children somewhere nearby. There was one person who touched my heart that day. After a mother walked away from our booth a little girl I believed to be the woman’s daughter. She have to be somewhere around the age of 9 to 11. She stopped and asked me “what does molestation means?’ I give her a quick answer where I hope she understood where I was coming from. I replied “molestation mean when someone touch you where it make you feel uncomfortable “.The little girl gave such a disgusting look. We was blown away that she never hear of the word molestation or she didn’t know what it meant. I say all of this to say, parents please take time to talk to your babies about this topic, MOLESTATION. Those talks may save your children’s life. If you have any comments please feel free to express yourself. www.sista-gurl.com My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge Hosea 4:6
"Psalms 118:4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. 6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? Proverbs 11:8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?"
To stand strong in this spiritual battle is our part. It is God's power that provides the victory when we stand strong. Our God fights for us.
