About Paul Talley
As mentioned on the home page, Paul Talley and his sister Carolyn grew up traveling all over the world with their musician/evangelist parents. Paul and his sister took all of their grade school and high school courses via correspondence. Having traveled to 83 countries and all 50 states, they were as likely to be found in India as in Indiana.
Paul learned to play the accordion at the age of five and started trumpet at age 12, eventually earning a degree in trumpet. More recently, he added guitar to the list of instruments he plays.
As Paul entered college, the world began to call and he embarked on what would be nearly 15 years of running from the Lord. Rock bands in Detroit and Minneapolis and country bands in the South finally brought him to what the world would call “success” with offers from Warner Bros. and MCA Records. With his new lifestyle came a daily regimen of parties, drugs and alcohol. However, one day he ran into God’s “velvet hammer.” He was brought to his knees, and he met the Savior! “Old things were passed away” and his life was dramatically changed.
Paul traveled giving concerts and preaching for several years eventually taking the role of Church Pastor for 16 years. He feels strongly the call of God to minister to the Body of Christ and to bring anointed worship as well as a Spirit-led, Word-centered message to each church he and Cindy visit.

About Cindy Talley…
Cindy Talley was born in Iowa and had a difficult childhood. Her parents died just five months apart when she was only eleven years old! Although she went to live with family at first, she eventually moved in with a Mormon foster family who raised her in a very moral “religious” manner. Cindy always knew about God, but it would be many years before she would come to know the Lord personally.
Cindy started studying Tae Kwon-Do and soon showed a real talent for it. She went on to become a sixth-degree Black Belt and owned her own studio for many years. She received a Gold Medal at the Pan-American World Cup in 1997 as well as many National Gold Medals and awards. She coached national and international champions and served as a Collegiate Coach for one of Iowa’s top universities.
She became very involved and dedicated to the Mormon religion of her foster family, even using her Tae Kwon-Do training to become part of the Security Team at the “Temple.” As she was being led to devote her life to the Mormon Church, God showed her the need to devote her life to Him instead, and she began her search for the truth. She broke free from the bonds that had held her in their grip and found Jesus Christ. She completely cut ties with the “Church” and began her new life in Him. Cindy knows that if she could be released from the bonds and strongholds she experienced, the Lord can free anyone from anything!
