When Wayne Stokeling was just three years old, his family knew there was something special about him. By age five, he was singing solos at church in his hometown of Perry, GA, and two years later, he was called to preach. With a big booming voice that belied his age, he sang and preached throughout Georgia and became known as "The Georgia Whooper." He was called to pastor his first church as a teenager and has served as pastor of St. John Baptist Church in Brooklyn for 22 years. He has sung and preached the world over, including Africa, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. Rev. Stokeling is known for his soulful and gripping renditions of tried and true spirituals, short and long meter hymns and gospel favorites.
