God, who is the giver of all gifts and abilities, equips individuals with talent and places within them the desire to use that talent for him. Through prayer, trusting God and obedience to His will, those desires are fulfilled and the results are immeasurable.
Rick, Reva, Angie and Jim, collectively known as the Hoskins Family are seeing those results as God takes their ministry to new heights every day. The Hoskins Family's first top 40 song, taken from the project of the same name, was a special one to their family. "Mission Of Love" was written by Angie Hoskins Aldridge for her grandfather, who was also her pastor. In fact Rick, Reva and Angie's ministry was solely committed to their home church until Reva's father's retirement from pastoral ministry. It was then that God began to call the Hoskins Family into a different venture. God's plan for the Hoskins Family was put into action. "Help Me Stand," the Hoskins Family's follow-up single to "Mission Of Love" proved to be their first top 20 hit, reassuring them that they were headed in the right direction.
Within 1 ½ years The Hoskins Family had their first top 5 hit with “Joyful Morning”, from their “Hope” project. This was followed by the top 10 hit “I Wouldn’t trade One Minute Of It”.
According to Danny Jones, Editor of The Singing News, their project, “Safe Thus Far” just might be the definitive recording that all their others are compared to. The Daywind project contains songs from some of today’s premier writers and is definitely a “Must Have” album. To quote Les Butler of Solid Gospel Radio Network, “Not one, two, three, or four, but five potential singles on this project. It is unbelievable!” The first release from this album proved to be their first #1 song. BMI has also recognized it to be in the top 3 most played for the year. This album has been nominated for 6 Dove Awards.
Their next Daywind project, "Places To Go And People To see" is yet another “Must Have” album containing songs from some of today’s premier writers. The title cut, entered the charts at #34 and held the #2 spot for two months. BMI has also honored it for most played for the year.
There aren’t many voices out there that leave you breathless. Angie Hoskins Aldridge possesses one of those rare voices. Surrounded by her parents Rick, Reva and cousin Jim Mahalick, Angie and The Hoskins Family have recorded some of the most memorable songs in recent years….songs like “Joyful Morning”, “Safe Thus Far”, “When The Savior Wipes The Tears From Our Eyes”, “Written In Heaven” and “Places To Go People To see”.
Their next Daywind project: “It’s Over…Let Eternity Begin”, continues this great song tradition with the title cut, “It’s Over” entering the charts at #34.
Promoters and pastors all across the country have quickly recognized the potential found in the Hoskins Family. They appear on many of the major events in Gospel Music such as Gospel Music Television's World Premier, the National Quartet Convention, Dollywood, Branson’s Silver Dollar City, Gaither Homecoming Tours, INSP, TBN, etc.
