It was at the beginning of the school year that I met a young man by the name of Dane Akers.  It turned out that Dane was a guitar player.  After many weeks of exhaustive training, Dane finally learned how to play ska.  Only one thing stood in our way: Dane wasn't saved. It happened to be on a cool Saturday in November that Dane and I attended a Baptist youth conference with our vocalist Rachel Lawrenson and her youth group.  Dane found the Lord that day and has been on that path ever since. (Hallelujah)

A few months later, Baron and Adam Told me about starting up a ska band again.  The band consisted of:

John M.- vocals
Dane- guitar
Adam- fish
John G.- drums
Harry- trumpet
Baron- trombone

Our first practice was on a Saturday and went over more than smoothly.  We went to the Dream Center that night to hang out and we met up with Jenny Hawk.  John G. had recorded the practice our at least parts of it on the 'ol handy cam.  He let Jenny and our friend Steph listen to the tape.  They came to the Dream Center that night ecstatic that there was gonna be a Punk-Ska band on the OBX.  We also found out that Jenny played the sax.  Well one thing led to another and Jenny entered as One Truth Freedom's new saxophone player. Well we had a couple more practices and ran into a couple more problems.  We felt that we were not progressing fast enough with John G. on the drums so we had a band meeting and voted him out of the band.  Many other factors came into our decision also, but those will remain unspoken unless John wants us to do otherwise.  I took over as the drummer and we were left without a singer.  It was about that time that we took into consideration having a female voice for the band.  Rachel Lawrenson was the top and only candidate. She was iffy about it at first but we would not take "no" for an answer.  At our first practice after the changes, Will Mcmaster came to fill in for Dane.  We thought that it would upgrade our music and make it more full if Will stayed so we asked him to.  He too was kind of iffy about it.

Well as you know, Rachel and Will both decided to stay as the vocalist & lead guitarist and here we are today.  We don't know what kind of problems lie ahead and what kind of trials the band is going to go through, but we do know that if we follow God's will, then we can't go wrong.

Our purpose as a ministry to Jesus Christ is to reach to the lost people of the world and to be a witness to our generation.  We believe that Christ is the only true freedom.  We represent the freedom of the One Truth.  We believe that Christ is the only way to heaven and that he is Love and reality.  Jesus loves you more than anything and he would rather go to Hell for you than to Heaven without you.  He died for your sins and mine. If you have any questions about Him then please email us or pull one or all of us to the side at a show (or whenever you see us).
