Jackie & Elaine
- Willing to Go
Jackie Wilburn is an evangelist that has been spreading the Word of
God through singing and preaching for 37 years. His Sunday morning
radio program has been reaching homes in the Middle Tennessee area
for over three decades. All across
America, Jackie has often been called a “mountain” preacher because
of his Tell-it-like-it-is” style of preaching! After pastoring for
seven years, he felt the need to combine his preaching with the
Southern Gospel Quartet ministry that he and Elaine began in 1969.
The Wilburns have
maintained a full-time nationally known Southern Gospel Quartet that
has traveled from coast to coast and Canada. They have received
many top awards for their music. From camp meetings to Christian
cruises, radio, TV, and everything in between, audiences have been
blessed by their powerful ministry.
Jackie and Elaine
have been married for 49 years. They have three sons, three
daughter-in-laws, and six grandchildren. They both were born and
raised near Carthage, Tennessee and have raised their family there.
There is a long
list of young people who have gained recognition from getting their
start in Gospel music with The Wilburns. One of those is their
own son, Jonathan, who was the lead singer for Gold City Quartet for
12 years!
Jackie says, “It
is time for The Wilburns to change directions again.” Jackie and
Elaine are once again serving the Lord with an emphasis on Gospel
preaching and singing as a duet.“Just like it was in the beginning
of our ministry, we don’t know where He will take us, but we are
willing to go. We are looking forward to the next chapter the Lord
is writing for us.”
