Rich dillon started Forgiven 4 in 2000. He felt the need to be an integral part of a Quartet Ministry.
Rich says " With the Christian heritage my Godly mother left me I had no choice but to follow God's call to start this ministry.
Our hope and desire is to see people come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and see God's people uplifted."
It has been a great journey and Rich has watched his hopes come true many times over.

His smooth bass voice and low tones are only surpassed by his testimony of how he was saved.
He often shares this testimony from the stage during concert services. Rich and his beautiful wife
Debbie make their home in Gallipolis, Ohio.

 

I was born and raised in Huntington, WV. I gave my heart to the LORD at the tender age of six and have never regretted it. I have had a love for gospel music for as long as I can remember. I grew up singing in church and later felt the calling of the LORD to miniser in song wherever HE opened the doors.  I joined my first group (The Southern Gospel Boys) in 1989. We sang until 1995. I sang solo for the next few years. Then in 1998, I formed a group (Witness) with my two rothers, Ronnie and Brad. We sang until 2010, when the LORD opened new doors. I am so thankful that GOD has now led me to Forgiven 4 and am looking forward to ministering with these wonderful folks.

In 1999, GOD gave me a beautiful wife,Tina, who is so amazingly supportive of me and my ministry. We reside in Ashland, KY. We now have two great sons, Morgan, age 4 and Mason, age 19 months. GOd has blessed me in so many ways and I am so thankful for HIM. To GOd be the glory! Hope to see yo soon at one of our concerts.GOD Bless.
