Members of the Christian rap group GFS didn't always resemble the God-loving, God-fearing artists they are today. Demond Davis aka "D-Day" comes from a religious family background—raised by his great grandparents, Reverend Jesse and Lottie Wheeler. In his early teens, he fell prey to the evils of the world such as gang banging, dope dealing, drug addiction, and sexual immorality. After spending 11 years locked away, God reminded Davis that he is still one of His flock. He has rededicated his life to Christ and is truly a changed man. Omar Renee Ficklin dubbed O.P.S.—Omar's Precious Salvation, grew up facing challenges that are common among African-American youth—gangs, drugs, and alcohol. He and Davis became friends and began rapping together. Twenty years later, O.P.S. has rededicated his life to Christ and uses his life experiences as a testimony of how God has saved his life. Donald E. Nelson is tagged as D-JAM the Jesus Freak. Through life's challenges, he has chosen to surrender to God and walk according to his calling. He became a deacon then minister at Relationships in Christ in Palmdale, California, with a passion to serve God. Through this music ministry, he desires to reach lost souls, encourage weary souls, inspire God's people, and provide guidance to the churches, ultimately promoting the importance of an intimate relationship with God.

Have you ever wondered if there is any purpose in your suffering? We certainly don’t go looking for suffering—it comes to us because life is a journey through difficulties and triumphs. Sufferings are a reminder of what Jesus Christ went through and it is a way for us to encourage others.
