Students use rock music =
'! Yast Men meeting at Peoples Baptist
to tell people about Jesus
BY ANDIE L. BRYMER
Staff Writer
Three Kings Mountain college stu-
dents traveled over 10,000 miles this
summer using rock music to tell peo-
ple about Jesus.
Justin Roper, Lane Wood and
Brandon McSwain along with Brady
Sweat of Raleigh traveled to Indiana,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and
Ontario, Canada.
Known as “One Way,” the band
members are quick to thank family,
friends and church members at First
Baptist for their prayers and financial
support.
“We couldn’t have done it without
them,” Roper said.
Roper and Wood formed the group
four years ago. Sweat, 19, and
McSwain, 22, replaced outgoing mem-
bers in February.
The group say they felt God leading
them to sing full time this summer.
“We've never thrown ourselves out
there before,” Roper said.
When they return to Appalachian
State University this fall, they’ll fly out
for weekend concerts. Roper and Wood
also help lead praise and worship on
Thursday nights for Campus Crusade
for Christ.
Wood, vocalist and rhythm guitarist,
writes most of the songs.
“Our lyrics are glorifying to God. We
tell others about our relationship to
Christ,” Roper said.
The band members say they begin
concerts “rocking out” then the tempo
slows. Wood narrates a video about a
near fatal car crash he had last year.
Doctors were doubtful he would live
but instead he was out of the hospital
in three days.
“That’s what I share, God’s still a
miracle worker,” Wood said.
Band members give their testimony
and invite the audience to accept Jesus.
This year’s tour saw 50 people make
decisions for Christ.
On March 3, the one year anniver-
sary of the accident, Wood penned a
song about it. This summer he shared
his story on the 700 Club and a similar
national show in Canada.
During the summer tour, One Way

played with Mercy Me, Point of Grace,
Relient K and Tait of DC Talk.
The group plays churches, Christian
festivals and Christian and secular
clubs. They've also released their first
CD, Embrace. It’s available at Go Fish
in Shelby and Joyful Noise in Gastonia.
The band often shares venues with
other Christian bands who play punk,
country, contemporary and southern
gospel. Members sometimes adapt
their style when they encounter an
older audience. However, most fans
are middle school through young
adult, male and female. Members are
quick to point out they're not a “boy
band,” like N” Sync.
Wood, 18, is majoring in sociology
and Roper, 19, secondary education.
Roper hopes the band will have an
opportunity to tour the west though
One Way is leaving the future to the
Lord.
“We're praying for God's direction,”
Wood said.

night at Polkville Baptist Church.
