John Ferreira - I was built in 1975 on May 13th, and I grew up in Portland
Maine. I have had a love for music for as long as I can remember. Growing up
there was an array of different genres that have influenced me along the way.
When ever I would go to rock shows the drums always caught my attention. My dad
is a drummer so I guess a lot of my attraction was natural. By the time I had
reached my 20's I was too busy trying to please people and making a wreck of my
life. It was not until I invited Jesus into my heart, that I realized how much
sin had obliterated my life, and a new direction is what Christ gave me. In the
fall of 2001 I was asked to join the Keith Parry group, as a percussionist, and
that's when I was introduced to my loving wife Erin. We married in the fall of
2002 and have spent time serving the Lord in
youth ministry and music ministry together. I had been a fan of New Mercy
Morning and a friend of Scott Logan's for a few years, when my phone rang on a
Sunday afternoon in the fall of 07. It was Scott and he wanted to know if I
would consider auditioning for the group. Well.............................here
I am, and well pleased with the way things are going. I am grateful for this
opportunity God has given me. Thank you all for your prayers and loving support,
and I look forward to seeing you out on the road!
Scott Anderson -
Scott Anderson is currently the
oldest member in New Mercy Morning. Scott was born in Illinois, grew up on the
Missouri, Arkansas border in an area called the Ozark hills, where he developed
a love for acoustic instruments. After some family trauma, Scott sought a
relationship with Christ to help him through some trying times, joined the Navy
to run away from home, and ended up in Maine where he currently lives with his
wife Barbie. In New Mercy Morning, Scott writes songs and lyrics, tries to play
bass, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, dulcimer…and sings, preaches and hauls
equipment. As a songwriter, Scott is influenced more by Christian authors and
thinkers than other musicians… writers such as Andrew Murray, Charles Spurgeon,
and Benjamin Warfield, with the theme usually being about God’s grace. Scott
attends Still Waters Christian Fellowship, and when able gets involved with prison ministry.
Jason Clark -
Jason was born in Bridgton, Maine on December 10, 1978. He met Christ at an
alter call in January 1992 at Windham Assembly of God. He followed his calling
in music as a part of the church’s choir and worship team, as well as children’s
church ministry. Jason left public schools attending Windham Christian Academy
starting the fall of 1993, where he became fast friends with classmate Chris
Cyr…one could see where this was heading. Scott Logan and Jason became
acquainted through Chris; all three became the brothers they are
through their respective high school/post high school experiences, shared faith,
fellowship, and passion for music. Being on the rim of what was Three Days Down,
then his involvement with New Mercy Morning on “More Than Conquerors,” Jason
became a natural fit with the music of Scott Logan and Scott Anderson.
