TAZEWELL, WV (WVNS) — John James – that name may sound familiar. He is the former lead singer of the Christian mega-group The Newsboys.

After being expelled from the group, he turned to drug abuse to numb the pain of losing everything due to the mistakes he had made in life.
“Addiction comes in many forms,” James said. “I thought as long as I was high and intoxicated, I wouldn’t have to deal with the consequences of my shipwreck.”
With his faith in God and the help of others, John was able to recover, and he uses his experiences to help people in both Virginias recover. John said his experiences and those of others have helped him find kindred spirits in the people of West Virginia and Virginia.
“There is a great need here, as in all areas, and that is why we fully support what Destiny Church is doing with its ministry to help people on their path to recovery and freedom from addiction,” James said.
James not only helps people with addiction problems, but also releases a studio album entitled “God of the Second Chance” for the first time in 27 years.
