IVAN PARKER CAREER

Ivan once said in an interview that when he was 2 years old he sang his first song at a Sunday night church service.

“My mum tells me my dad just said, ‘Does anyone have a special song they’d like to sing tonight?’ Apparently when I heard her say that I jumped off her lap, went running for the front, scared her and my dad to death, and sang my first song. Mom also remembers Dad coming to pick me up and hold me while I sang.

At the age of 9, Ivan was saved: “I remember my mother and father talking to me about being a Christian and that you could not go to heaven by the excitement of someone another and someone else’s joy – you had to accept Christ as an individual I remember the very night like it was yesterday. God spoke to my heart; I knelt down and asked him to come into my life. I tell you what–I just couldn’t imagine ever waking up without Christ.
