Cancer. A terrible word that strikes fear into the heart. It was a word completely unexpected as the diagnosis for David Needham, patriarch of The Needhams. In February of 2007, right around his 69th birthday, David began to feel “off”. It was nothing specific, but he was just not well
“Best Convention Ever”. Those words and sentiments were echoed again and again at the close of the Mid-America Gospel Music Association’s Ninth Annual Convention held November 7 and 8 in Farmington, Missouri.

our concerts are about 35% COUNTRY, 35% GOSPEL, and the remaining % is made up of comedy and patriotic. Our programs are geared to be very entertaining and we let the music and our personality and genuineness do the preaching.

Firm Foundation started out as a quartet back in 2002. I like to think as though Firm Foundation took a sabbatical when we went to being a trio. It was all in God’s plan for us to go back to being a quartet. We actually listened to the crowd, emails, etc. when deciding
A pastor we sang for one time said, “…their anointing is fresh, fruitful, and authentic.” Our family is unique – we are so very close. Maybe due to some of the tough things we have faced… and survived. We have loads of energy in our program – mainly to camouflage Tim's ADHD!
The miracle of a lost soul coming to Jesus is the biggest miracle. Wow! When someone realizes their need for salvation, what a precious sight it is to see them come forward, and be humbled to ask Jesus Christ to live in their heart
We are not a “promoters” kind of group. We don’t use a lot of hoopla to get a crowd to respond to us to see how many CDs we can sell. Our music touches hearts, and that’s better than any thing we could ever do to entertain.

We do host an annual concert; THE AGGIE DOTSON MEMORIAL BENEFIT CONCERT FOR THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOC. John's mom, Aggie, suffered through most of the effects of having diabetes for some 30+ years.
