In the midst of the snow storm, some brave men of BMC shoveled, pushed and parked a capacity crowd to hear singer-song writer Paul Wilbur. Mr. Wilbur’s performance and worship leadership made the event memorable.

From playing guitar at a very young age, music has always been a major part of Paul's life. Studying voice in Italy and earning a Master's degree at Indiana University with special emphasis in cantorial and opera music, Paul had set his life's course and career. However in March, 1977, after a fishing trip in Tennessee, Paul's life took a different turn. He had a personal encounter, receiving Yeshua as his Savior, and went immediately into full-time traveling ministry. As a founding member of the group Harvest, Paul recorded 2 albums with Benson Records and traveled for 4 years. He then ministered with Israel's Hope for 8 years, recording 2 albums with Maranantha Records. Being led to a church outside Chicago, Paul ministered on staff for 5 years before founding Paul Wilbur Ministries in January, 1995. Since then, Paul has recorded 5 solo albums with Integrity Music, all of which are translated into Spanish, 3 of those recorded live in Jerusalem. Paul also has recorded 3 other collaborative albums with Integrity. His collection includes: Up To Zion, Shalom Jerusalem, Holy Fire, Jerusalem Arise, Lion of Judah and his latest, Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem. Paul lives in Jacksonville, FL with his wife Luanne and his 2 sons, Nathan and Joel.
