Joy Danielle Kimmey and Lisa Kimmey When Kimmey was a child her parents separated and she moved with her mother and sisters. Delice married another man and it turned out he was not the ideal husband to say the least. A few years later Delice left the man and moved away with her daughters. Despite going through a lot of tough stuff, the family have experienced that their faith in God got stronger every day. Andrea was always told to read the bible. Delice would let Andrea and her sisters watch day-time TV to discuss the issues and try to prevent them from watching it. Her mother would tell Andrea and her sisters to walk up to a stranger on the streets and tell this person about God! Delice nearly got arrested one time in a mall for putting on a Christian skit. Andrea and her sisters were home schooled up till High School when they started going to a regular school. Andrea kept a distance from her classmates and their ways of life to live a life pleasing to God. She did not drink, smoke, swear and practiced abstinence before marriage.

They sang in Africa and for the US army,etc.
