Janice and Faye Rostvit, identical twins from Colorado Springs will be the featured speakers at this year’s clinic. The twins have been singing since they placed their trust in Jesus at the age of 13. Through their teenage years, they sang in a quartet with their two older sisters. When the other sisters got married, the twins went to Ozark Bible College and began to sing as a duet. After graduating in 1971, their singing became an extensive world-wide ministry. Their travels have taken them to 90 countries where the twins learn a repertoire of songs in the local languages. To date they have uang in well over 100 languages.

The Rostvits have published a book entitled “Twin Reflections.” It reflects on God’s providential care amid their international travels – tales of adventure and amazing accounts of answers to prayer. In times when their faith is weak, they have learned to depend on a faithful God. The twins compose many of their own songs which are available on CD’s, cassettes, and in songbooks. They are also accomplished ventriloquists and their dolls are favorites among many.
