Lee will be taking the place of former bass singer, Mike Holcomb. Lee is the pastor of Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, NC, and will travel with the Old Time Preachers for most dates outside of Sundays; the group will travel as a trio on select Sunday dates.</p><p>Group owner and baritone, Les Butler, states, "We are excited and blessed to have Lee, back with us on select dates. His attitude, demeanor, and humility are a blessing to be around. He's a singing and preaching machine!</p><p>The OTPQ has strategically reduced our dates since Covid. First, we were simply doing more than our "old" bodies would allow. Secondly, all of the men are preachers and our personal evangelism schedules started to fill up more and more. We support preaching first; singing second. So, we're probably going to be doing about 30 dates a year and Lee will be on the majority of these dates. Initially, he took the lead singing spot with us because we had a pretty good bass singer at the time. You may have heard of him. His name is Mike Holcomb. In all seriousness, Lee was a bass singer when I hired him, he simply took the lead spot because that filled our need and he knocked it out of the park in that slot. We are excited for you to hear Lee sing his natural part as a bass vocalist."</p><p>Be sure to listen for their newest radio single, "Everybody Will Be Happy Over There!" This is an old favorite featuring former Bass singer, Mike Holcomb.</p><p>The Old Time Preachers are excited to be featured this year at such events as the REAL Southern Gospel Song Revival, Shaping Clay Jubilee, Dollywood, and more!</p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/184629/60d45031777ba1b6196365e5f98d8b9b31ea89b9/original/2023-otpq-pic-w-logo.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p><p> </p>Old Time Preachers Quartettag:oldtimepreachersquartet.com,2005:Post/72228872023-04-28T15:00:00-05:002023-06-07T17:07:40-05:00Special Announcement from Mike Lindell and Les Butler<p><strong>Nashville, TN </strong>(April 28, 2023) We are excited to announce the affiliate relationship of <strong>Mike Lindell & My Pillow with REAL Southern Gospel Radio </strong>and<strong> Live with Les</strong>!</p><p><strong>Les Butler</strong>, owner of<strong> Butler Music Group </strong>states, <i>"we are beyond excited to announce the affiliation of Mike Lindell and My Pillow with REAL Southern Gospel Radio and Live with Les social media programs.

I am so excited that the Lord is allowing this affiliation to happen. When you buy from My Pillow and use the REAL code, you are supporting Mike, My Pillow, American made products and our efforts to help promote REAL traditional Southern Gospel Music.

<p>OTPQ Manager, <strong>Les Butler</strong> states, “Mike has been traveling, spreading the good news in sermon and song for nearly 50 years. Once the Covid restrictions started to lift, Mike’s personal preaching schedule really filled up. All the members of the Old Time Preachers QT put a premium on the preached word. It’s been increasingly difficult to do it all.” </p>
<p>Butler continues, “this is an extended leave. Mike will always be welcomed to return at any time. When this status changes, either direction, we will let everyone know. Mike has been, and will be, the only bass vocalist the OTPQ will have as a fourth member. You can replace vocalists, but you can’t replace legends. And that’s what Mike Holcomb is, a legend! <strong>Adam Borden, Tim Owens</strong>, and I will continue to do our dates as a trio. I have personally spoken to nearly 100% of the pastors and promoters we have on the schedule for the remainder of 2021 and they have all been very supportive. All dates remain and we’re thankful for that.” </p>
<p>Butler concludes, “pray for Mike as he continues to spread the Gospel message. And pray for the trio as we do the same.” </p>

<p>"So, here’s the story. I’ve been in Stonecrest Medical Center in Smyrna, TN since Sunday. I have COVID pneumonia and am having issues with my oxygen. The single prayer request I have is that my oxygen levels will head the right direction. All else is well. No fevers, weakness, etc. <br>I am happy to report that we (me and the Lord) have been having great worship services in room 303! Hallelujah! I’ve been studying the Bible, reading books about prayer, reading through God’s Promise Book (powerful). I’ve been watching great Gospel music on YouTube. Simply having church. <br>Bev also has COVID, but mild. She is at home worried sick about me. Please pray for her. This will be our first Thanksgiving apart from each other in 40 years. No complaints. God has been good to us. <br>I’m out for now. Pray! I’m excited to see what kind of testimony God is preparing for me! I will tell the world of his goodness and mercy! <br>Please feel free to share. I don’t care who touches the throne room on my behalf! And thank you to the hundreds who have known and have been praying for me. I am getting texts all the time. Very encouraging!" </p>
<p>Les's wife, Bev, shared this update today, "I ask all of our friends to pray fervently for Les. He has not had a very good day, oxygen levels have been dropping and they keep increasing the oxygen. They have called in a pulmonary specialist. Today will be the final Remdesivir treatment and possibly a second blood plasma antibody infusion. I'm trusting God to turn this around. He is able!" </p>
<p>Thank you for your continued prayers for Les, his wife, Bev, and their family!</p>Old Time Preachers Quartettag:oldtimepreachersquartet.com,2005:Post/63866172020-07-17T18:01:50-05:002020-07-17T18:01:50-05:00Big News on the OTPQ from the Singing News!<p>What exciting news!

<p><span class="font_large">“Lee took a great church in Mechanicsville, VA last year. As it should, this is taking all of his time and effort. Early this year Lee told me he'd give the quartet until the end of the year to find another lead singer. He simply couldn't do it all. Adam Borden has been singing the majority of the dates that Lee couldn't make this year. And, by the way, Adam has been knocking it out of the park and will continue to travel with us on the weekends. We are currently praying and looking for the right man to join the group. This is a challenging position to fill. All of the members maintain their own personal preaching and singing schedules, plus, Tim and I also have businesses. We appreciate your prayers as we seek God’s will for our group. Oh, and allow me to add this, being given a 12 month notice is unheard of. This speaks to Lee's character. We can't thank him enough for giving us such a long notice! We wish he could stay until the horn blows, but we totally get it. We will miss his talent. We will miss his spirit. And I "think" we'll miss his stunts! LEE MCNEILL IS CRAZY,” stated Les Butler. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Lee McNeil said, “I’m gonna miss singing with these guys. Some of the greatest men you’ll ever meet are a part of the Old Time Preachers Quartet. Love you guys.” </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The Old Time Preachers Quartet have quickly emerged as one of Gospel’s top quartets, claiming multiple Singing New Top 20 hits and appearing at major events such as Dollywood, National Quartet Convention, Bluegate Theater and others. </span></p>

Their first three radio singles all climbed into the Singing News Top 40 including "I'll Ride This Ship To The Shore," which climbed up to #6. Their latest song, “When I Wake Up” debuted on the Singing News Pick Hit chart as the #1 Pick Hit and #7 on the Top New Release chart for August. They have won, and been nominated for, numerous awards and have sung on Southern Gospel’s biggest stages including the Bluegate Theater, Dollywood and the National Quartet Convention. While all of this success has been exciting for the group, their mission has never been focused on these things but rather to see lives genuinely changed by the power of the Gospel. Their music is doing just that. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The Old Time Preachers Quartet know that the Lord is blessing them in a special way. “When we started this group we never dreamed that we’d have multiple hit songs and a full schedule. We just wanted to sing and preach revivals, letting people know that the old time religion is still the answer for today’s problems. We are so thankful to the Lord for using four old-time preachers,” stated Mike Holcomb. They recently sang in 8 services in 5 days at Teay's Valley Baptist Church to huge crowds. "We knew this is why God put this group together and that He had something different in store. We are finalizing plans for 3 day, 4 service revivals where we will each preach one night and sing at every service. We are looking forward to being at places like Pathway Baptist Church in Scottsboro, AL and Lighthouse Baptist Church in Temple, where we get to do what God called this group to do; sing and preach," added Les Butler. </span></p>
