It is a good thing to

Give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High….Upon an instrument of ten strings, and  upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

Psalms 92:1,3.

A Biographical Sketch


     Bob Puffer spent 13 years in country music, beginning his music career in the nightclub business where he made significant progress toward a lucrative future as a performer and song writer.  His first nightclub contract was with Holiday Inn as the result of his friendship with innkeeper, Gary Welling, who later would play a major role in Bob's life.  Bob also performed for a short time with his own and other bluegrass bands and further succeeded in passing an audition to appear on the national television show, HEEHAW.  He later contracted for a major concert where he shared billing with the OAKRIDGE BOYS.  He was often interviewed as an up-and -coming Country Music personality and had the honor of being written up in MUSIC CITY NEWS, the most widely distributed country music news magazine in the nation. 


     In 1982, Gary Welling (having become a Baptist minister), sought Bob out and led him to the Lord.  Six months later, the Lord convinced Bob that he could not stay in the nightclubs, so Bob broke his contracts and got out.  He began to search for the Lord's will for his life.  Four years later, in September of 1986, (and after much prayerful consideration), the Lord led Bob to step out on faith to enter the full-time Gospel music ministry. 


     The Lord began to open doors, and He inspired Bob to write over 200 songs--some playing on over 1000 radio stations, nationally.  Bob plays a multitude of Instruments including guitar, five-string banjo, violin, mandolin, dobro, and flute.


     Darleen was saved and gave her life to the Lord in 1985, she and Bob currently travel throughout the United States and Canada with their music ministry, performing between 250 and 300 concerts each year.  They perform in Baptist churches in the eastern half of the United States and spend their winters in Florida where they also perform in a group called 'EAGLES' WINGS".  Their music includes a wide variety of songs from Traditional Gospel to Southern/Bluegrass Gospel. 


     The purpose of the PUFFER ministry is to glorify God through music by (1) ministering to local churches; (2) preparing hearts for the preaching of God's Word; (3) edifying the Saints of God; and (4) winnings souls for the Lord Jesus Christ.
