Featured DJ:
Mary Lu Gregg

Mary Lu Gregg is a DJ at WAMV AM radio in Amherst, VA. Mary Lu has been a huge supporter of Jerry's ministry. She has been behind the last two singles that Jerry has released to radio by helping to get these two songs charted.

She began her Southern Gospel Music program on WAMV. In 2003 she was offered (and quickly accepted) the position of Music Director at WAMV, with an emphasis on the Southern Gospel music format. Mary Lu developed a popular program she named "Artist Profile and Song" in which she features a Gospel artist for thirty minutes of air play on Friday and Sunday each week.

Station manager Robert Langstaff offered the following comments about his honored employee, " Mary Lu relates in a friendly manner with everyone - listeners, pastors, advertisers and those who work directly in the Southern Gospel music business. She is really dedicated, spending hours at home and the studio working on our music. When WAMV receives a Southern Gospel song, Mary Lu will listen to it, paying attention not only to it's sound, but particularly its message."

Besides her duties at WAMV, Mary Lu is also involved with various civic and charitable affairs in the Amherst area. She is a member of the Amherst Lions Club, the Lynchburg Chapter 196 Vietnam Veterans of America and volunteers her time with Pal Talk.

Mary Lu Gregg is another example of the positive thing Southern Gospel music is said to foster. She has made various contributions to the business - in time,attendance at concerts and her tireless promotion of many singers, musicians and singing groups through radio airwaves.

Mary Lu is also the recipient of the inaugural Golden Mike Award . I’m deeply honored by it,” Mary Lu said of her Golden Mic Award "I appreciate those who listen to me on the radio and to the radio promoters, singers,singing groups and all others who are an integral part of my job, But I think GOD first and foremost for allowing Southern Gospel music to be a major part of my life."

Friends:

John, Richard, Karen, Norma

Jerry has the opportunity to meet many wonderful people through his travels all across this country. Many of those people go above and beyond the call of being a friend. They are more like family!

Jerry met the Strattons and the Warings in South Texas in 2005. The Strattons are from Iowa and the Warings are from Kansas. They all are at home as Winter Texans in Rockport at Circle W RV Park. These two families have taken Jerry under their wing - and duped him "The Boy".

They swap out traveling with Jerry to his engagements throughout South Texas all winter - giving up their time to support him and his ministry. They have made themselves available as stage hands, office help, drivers, sales help, cooks, and promoters - wherever they are needed. And Richard and John have won a place in Jerry's heart forever for making their boats available to him so that he can do his favorite pastime - FISH!
