Curtis Lents Curtis, "Paw", and his wife, Gail, "Mama Gail", have been in southern gospel music for over 30 years. Back in 2003, Curtis was injured when a 7" round tree came through the windshield of the trackhoe he was operating and impaled him, entering his abdomen. After numerous surgeries, and other medical procedures, Curtis lives to tell how he survived "the devil's toothpick". The group has adopted the motto "Fully Relying On God" because, through this experience, we have all learned to rely on HIM. Curtis and Gail are from Henning Tennessee. Gail has a full time job keeping Curtis in line, but she also helps with the product table. They have four children: Terry, Candace, Kurt and Kacki. They have four grandchildren: Cody, Joshua, Jeremy and Kelsey. Curtis and Gail are active members of Victory Baptist Church in Henning, TN |
