Raised as the only child of a minister in Northern Alabama, Lindell Cooley was surrounded by ministry and music throughout his formative years. His first practical musical experience came when he was taught to play the tambourine at the age of five. From there, he went on to play the drums, bass guitar, organ and piano. Nearly three decades later, he currently serves as president of Music Missions International (MMI) and Pastor at Grace Church in Nashville, Tennessee

Looking back on his early days as a budding musician and worship leader, Cooley is still surprised by the orchestrating hand that carefully prepared him for his current position. "My family and I often did concerts in addition to regular church services," he recalls. "It was when they needed to produce a custom recording for radio stations that I learned to make records."

At twenty-one, Cooley was spending part of his time playing the piano with Christian musicians Lenny LeBlanc and Rusty Goodman and the other part serving as associate pastor in his father's church. But he knew he had a destiny to fulfill and at the age of twenty-eight he set off to find it.

Cooley moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and began working at Christ Church as an assistant music minister. Two years later, he left Christ Church to become a studio musician and an independent producer. In the fall of 1994, Lindell Cooley visited Brownsville Assembly and met with Pastor John Kilpatrick. In February of 1995, Kilpatrick needed a music minister and believed Lindell was God's choice for the position. After initially turning down the job, Cooley accepted and arrived in April of 1995. Two months later while Lindell was away on a missions trip to the Ukraine, a historic revival began.

After 10 years of serving as music minister for the Brownsville Revival, In January of 2004, Lindell moved back to Nashville, TN and began to plant Grace Church. He currently resides in Franklin, TN with his wife Amber and two sons, Samuel and Isaac.

Larry Day is the Vice President of Music Missions Intl,. He began his professional career as a musician with the US Navy. Following that four year commitment, he worked as a free lance musician while studying music theory and composition at the University of Northern Colorado.

From there, another four years of working in Washington DC as the music director of a production company prepared him for work in the music industry that lay ahead. In 1987 Larry co-founded Diadem Music Group in Nashville, TN and was its Executive Vice President for 10 years.

In 1997 he moved to Pensacola, FL to help Lindell Cooley found Music Missions International and has served as its Vice President since that time.

A native of Vermont, Larry's spiritual background has roots that are buried deep into the New England soil of the Puritans. Growing up in the tiny town of Shoreham, he attended the local Congregational Church and there developed an awareness of the awesomeness of God, a foundation in the truth of scripture, and a sense of connection to the historical church. However, it would be some years before encounters with the Holy Spirit began to breathe life into those foundations.

Now, with some thirty years of ministry experience and business experience, Larry serves as the Vice President of MMI as well as the Executive Pastor of Grace Church, in Franklin, TN.

Larry is married to Marilyn and has two sons, Adam and Samuel. They reside in Thompson's Station, TN.
