The Ladd Family - Bio & References

The Ladd Family is an anointed family ministry with strong christian roots. They began more than 35 years ago when John and Violet Ladd felt the call of God on their lives to travel singing and preaching the gospel with their children. Today, the family tradition carries on with their son Paul and his wife Melissa. Their testimony is one of God's faithfulness and the ability to use willing vessels to do the impossible. From instantaneous physical healings to salvation, God has been using them to move in a supernatural way all across the nation. With three Diamond Award nominations under their belt, an AGM nomination, their debut single, "Let Go," #1 on the Southern Gospel Times charts, and performances to thousands, God is raising them up as they continue to raise Him up.

Words are hard to find to describe The Ladd Family, but, one stands out more than any other and that word is annointed! Our church has experienced The Ladd Family, yes I said "experienced", because that best describes their ministry. Paul and Melissa use their God given talent to share the message of Christ through song. Everytime they have been with us, the presence of the Lord has been evident. If you're looking for a group to come and sing for you, don't call these guys! But, if you're looking to experience a move of God through a groups singing, testimonies, and the Word, CALL THEM NOW!! Pastor Stan Cook, New Beginning Church Ashford, Al.

Definitly ones to watch are "THE LADD FAMILY." Watch as the annointing flows, as they minister the Gospel through song and word. We have been watching Paul at Tabernacle Ministries, from the time he was a young child. He and his wife, Loves the LORD, has an awesome talent, and they are using it for the building of God's Kingdom. We agree with Pastor Sam Cook when he said "Everytime they have been with us, the presence of the Lord has been evident. If you're looking for a group to come and sing for you, don't call these guys! But, if you're looking to experience a move of God through a groups singing, testimonies, and the Word, CALL THEM NOW!!" Pastor Kenny Compton, Tabernacle Ministries, Great Falls, SC

I have known Paul Ladd since he was a small child when he was working in Tent Ministries with his dad, Bro. John Ladd and his siblings.He and his dear wife Melissa are wonderful christians, truly annointed of God.You could never go wrong by booking them for your church. They are a wonderful couple working for the Lord and truly are my friends. Linda Brickles, AM660, Waverly, Ohio

To whom it may concern. I would highly recomend Paul and Melissa to come to your church or event for you to receive a great blessing from their singing and also them giving all the credit to the Lord Jesus Christ. Wayne Trexler, Rockwell,NC

When I think of the Ladd Family my mind conjures up a husband and wife team who are anointed, real, talented, gifted, and a blessing every time I hear them minister in Word and song. I am confident God has His hand of anointing on their past, present, and future ministry. I always feel I am in praise and worship of a Holy God who is "High and Lifted up", through their ministry. We have had them minister to us on numerous occasions at Pleasant Plains Church here in Matthews, NC. We will continue to invited "The Ladd Family" back to minister to our congregation. They have a heart for souls and it is evident through their testimony and song.Without reservation I recommend "The Ladd Family" to any ministry that desires a fresh touch of God through song and testimony. I pray God's blessing on their ministry! Pastor Ron Riddley, Pleasant Plains Baptist Church, Matthews, NC

The Ladd Family is currently made up of Paul and Melissa Ladd, a dynamic husband and wife team. Each of the duo could stand and minister alone; but put them together and you have an explosive combination of ministry and talent. "Love, Mercy and Grace" is the latest release from the Ladd Family, and it represents them well, offering an uplifting message of hope throughout the project. The current single from the project, "Let Go", is doing well on radio. Although "Let Go" is not your typical Southern or Country Gospel song, it fits this group well as they are not your typical Southern of Country Gospel artist.The musical arrangements on this project are excellent, as is the quality of the sound and mix. The song selection provides a good mix of uptempo, midtempo and slower, ballad type songs. The final song on the project, "Eli's Song" will mean much more to you if you read the biographies on the Ladd Family web site. Once you read about the obstacles this couple has experienced in their journey, you will be even more touched by their message of hope. David East, Editor in Cheif, The Southern Gospel Times
