Jim Ryals was born in Brewton, Alabama where he spent most of his childhood years. Later in his adult years Jim enlisted in the United States Air Force. Jim went most of his life without knowing Jesus as his own personal Savior, but on December 2005 Jim finally realized his need for Jesus and that he could no longer do things his own way. Jim accepted Christ into his heart at this time in his life. This is when Jim began singing with Katherine and they started the Faithful II singing ministry. Katherine and Jim believe that God used the song “Two Shoes” that Katherine sang for several years, to show Jim his need for salvation.
Katherine Ryals grew up in Bristol, Virginia with a large family of six and then relocated to Houston, Texas later in her adult years. Katherine was devoted to her previous career for 18 years until it came to an end. This was a turning point in Katherine’s life and Ministry. Katherine has been singing gospel music since childhood. She knew that this was her calling from God and began to devote all of her time and opportunities to sing for God. In 2003 Katherine went to "Ben Speer's Stamps Baxter School of Music" through a scholarship fund offered through "BAGMA". Later, in 2003 Katherine produced her first CD. In January 2005 Katherine released "JESUS HOLD MY HAND" in which she wrote and produced the songs on the album.
The Faithful II have advanced in their ministry through many people’s prayers and support, for which they are extremely thankful. God has been the one to make them successful and this is truly a dream come true for them. They know that God is pouring down blessing after blessing for them in their ministry.
Katherine and Jim have been throughout Texas and other states singing and performing music for the Lord. They have performed special singing at weddings, nursing homes, funerals and many other special events.
The Faithful II would love to visit and share their love of Gospel music with you !
