OUR STORY
In 1976, Phil Jones, a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Texas, a member of Phi Beta Kappa with a Mensa-level IQ, was stricken with a life-threatening illness for which man has no cure. For the first time in his life, Phil sought God through prayer. To his joy and amazement, he discovered that there is a Living God, who answers prayers, and has the power to heal and guide. Having survived, Phil is living proof of that healing power, and his life has been radically changed.
In 1995, Phil and a group of friends formed Sunrise Ministries, Inc., a 501.c.3 nonprofit corporation.
Phil and Debi met in April, 1998, and married in March, 2000. In November 2003, they released "My Heart's Desire", their first album together. Since 2003, they have released 5 more projects. Their latest album, "We Need You Now," was released in August 2016. Recorded at legendary Blue Rock Studio in Wimberley and produced by Patrick Conway, this project features 12 all-original songs. Offering folk rock fused with gospel and blues, and a little bit of country for sweetness, the music appeals to people of all ages. Children enjoy the warm-hearted exuberance of the songs, and adults find deep meaning in the lyrics.
Phil and Debi have appeared in more than 100 Texas churches, before congregations totaling over 50,000 people.
