Born
and raised in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
these two talented and gifted young men became
fascinated with mime at the age of ten. Keith
is a member of the Ark Ministry UHCA where Bishop
James Dillingham is pastor and Karl is a member
of the Christ Nations Church in Texarkana, TX
where Issac Pitre is Pastor.
As
K & K Mime Ministry, Keith and Karl have worked
side-by-side with various recording artists including:
Fred Hammond, Miss Vickie Winans, Pastor Daryl
Coley, Dr. Bobby Jones, CeCE Winans, Kirk Franklin,
R. Kelly, Stevie Wonder, and many more. They've
also had the opportunity to perform before such
persons as Rosa Parks, "Martin's" Tommy
Ford, Boys to Men, BeBe Winans, and "Sanford
and Son's" Demond Wilson. They've recently
shared the stage with M.C. Hammer on the Hammer
Time Show, which aired on TBN.
These
identical twins silently interpret contemporary
Gospel music with dramatic gestures and animated
facial expressions, portraying man's resisting
of life's evil temptations and His transformation
from doubter to believer. K & K Mime Ministry
wants to ensure that their mime and its message
will reach all generations of people. As young
adults, they are particularly concerned about
the issues and temptations that many of the youth
deal with today. Going beyond the verbal dimension,
Keith and Karl orchestrate their own choreography
with expression that touches the heart, mind,
and spirit. Through their innovative work, these
artistic brothers have enhanced and expanded the
Gospel ministries of churches, universities, youth
summits, national concerts, tours, conventions,
conferences, and various other ministerial outlets.
They have not only performed, but have fathered
the art of mime in the Gospel arena in a form
that has never before been seen or created. Their
ministry in the fore mentioned areas, along with
their instructional workshops has also catapulted
the birth of mime ministries across the nation
and abroad. Some of their most requested pieces
are, "STAND", "OH WHAT LOVE",
"NOW BEHOLD THE LAMB", and "WE
FALL DOWN".

& K Mime Ministry made several appearances
on the Bobby Jones Gospel Show held on the national
television station, Black Entertainment Television

They have also made several appearances with the
Bishop T. D. Jakes,' Bishop David Martin's Rhema
Conference and with the Bishop Paul Morton's Full

Gospel musical "Saints, Aint's, & Wannabes"

level of energy and ministry. K & K Mime ministry
also completed a two-week tour of Japan with Gospel
recording artist Pastor Daryl Coley and a nationally
renowned tour with Kirk Franklin and The Family,
Ms. Yolanda Adams and Fred Hammond and R.F.C.,

The
energetic duo has also traveled throughout the
country with their enthusiastic and uplifting
concert performances. Their vision is to continue
to electrify, elevate, and inspire all those who
have the opportunity to see them. Their testimonies
and fluent interpretations of the Gospel messages
are to be a powerful spiritual catalyst. Their
main focus is on salvation. They believe that
"Jesus is the answer to every situation;
God sees and is concerned about all of His children;
each and every person is special in God's eyes;
and God
deserves glory and honor for their many blessings
and successful acclaims."
