About Ralph Freeman

A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Ralph Freeman earned his Bachelor of Science degree with concentration in math and physics from Morehouse College. After spending nine years in marketing with the IBM Corporation, God gave him the vision that the lost could be won and the faith could be shared through the medium of song. His Christian witness, using this method, has been a vital part of his lifestyle for many years. He sang with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus for five years, under the direction of the late Robert Shaw. Then God opened opportunities for him to sing in a broad range of settings across the United States, and in many other countries. His wife, Julie, three adult children and two young, talented sons bring a lot of joy to his life. He and his family worship at the First United Methodist Church of Norcross, GA.

Ralph led the music in a pilgrimage to Israel and sang special solos in Bethlehem, at the Garden Tomb, on the Sea of Galilee, at the Jordan River, in Jerusalem, Jericho and Capernaum. He was the guest soloist at World Methodist Conferences in Honolulu, Hawaii and Brighton, England. He was the featured soloist on Friendship Force tours in Gelsenkirschen, West Germany, Newcastle, England and Seoul, South Korea. He also participated in Missions tours to Monterrey, Mexico, Ghana, West Africa and Niteroi, Brazil.

His ministry in the United States includes solo appearances on national television, and concerts in churches and other settings that include more than forty states. He has been a favorite soloist at the North Georgia Conference United Methodist Men's retreat for many years, and has made five appearances at the International Congress of United Methodist Men held at Purdue University.

In 1998 God led him to a new horizon when Song Sermon Ministries was formed. It has enabled him to share the "Good News" through a unique blend of traditional hymns, current-day songs and short thematic messages. This fresh approach to proclaiming the Gospel has become his primary focus, and is available to churches in worship services, evangelistic meetings and special events throughout the world.
