DURHAM - Jerome Waller & Anointed Praise are ready to introduce their musical gifts to the world.
The group will perform at the International Gospel Industry Retreat for Bobby Jones Presents in November on The Word Network.

Waller, along with his wife, Terri, formed the 13-member group three years ago at First Calvary Baptist Church in Durham.
Waller said each member is talented and has many years of singing experience. "Our drummer has a CD out in England," said Waller who is also associate music director and a representative of Gospel Music Workshop of America. "Everyone in this group is a member of this church, and everyone's heart is into this group because we share the same vision."

Waller said the group wants to do more than just entertain.
"We want to deliver a message that God is still here, and he still loves and cares about us," he said.

Since the debut of their CD,"I Live for Your Love," which was released in January, the group has seized many opportunities, including performing at the recent Women's Empowerment Expo. The CD includes traditional and contemporary tunes which Waller and Terri co-wrote.
The Wallers have been singing and performing together since high school.

"We go way back," Terri Waller said. "We have been best friends since junior high school."
Starting a music ministry costs money, and the Wallers have had their share of hardships throughout their journey.

"By being an independent artist, people don't seem to take you seriously. This makes it difficult to promote your music," Terri Waller said. "But this is our calling."
"One must decide that this is the ministry you want to be in and stick with it," Jerome Waller said. "Don't give up on your vision."

The Waller's have three daughters who are also members of the group. In the coming months, they are scheduled to perform at the 2007 Apple Chill Festival (now called Festi-Fall) in Chapel Hill, and at the 2007 Thomas Dorsey Gospel Choirs & Choruses-Raleigh Durham Chapter Christmas Gala.
Their CD can be purchased at www.jeromewaller.com and The Know Book Store on Fayetteville Street.
