Ruth Ann is a very outgoing personality who never met anyone she couldn’t be friendly with. Jonathan is a little more technical minded and you will find him working with the computer, the sound, etc. Jim, the father, is quite cautious, but once he gets to know you, you find a friend and even more, a brother-in-Christ. Ruby, the mother, sings from time to time with the group but also performs all those tasks of a mother and confidant. Jeremiah is friendly, outgoing and reserved at the same time. He drives the family vehicle, and if necessary, fixes it. Together, they truly witness Jesus Christ and His love to everyone they meet. They are not just “performers”, they are “ministers”. Listen to Jim Mattingly’s story of how they witness to others while “on the road”. Hear about their “tracts” here:.
As mentioned, their “tract” is unusual and definitely leaves the receivers of their “tract” with fond memories as well as a message that will change their lives. I have chosen a few songs to share with you. Songs that will show the unique talent of The Mattingly Family as well as to show their versatility. The first song is done acapella. It is titled: “Beyond The Cross”. As we move to the next song, it features Ruth Ann Mattingly. The title is: “On My Father’s Side” . The next song opens with Jonathan Mattingly and also features the rest of the family. This song is: “Only God Could Think Of That” . The last song features Ruby Mattingly in the opening. It is titled: “I Will Trust You Lord” .
