Daphne Taylor

Daphne Taylor, LaMarque sophomore, has always had a passion for the Lord. This passion, mixed with her passion for singing, makes her a perfect member of the on-campus gospel ministry, Soul II Soul.

Soul II Soul is a group of musically talented students who are interested in sharing God’s Word through music. Taylor, a journalism major, got involved in the group in the fall of 2008, when she was a freshman on campus and was looking for a group that would incorporate her hobbies and interests. “I saw a flyer for the group,” she said, “and I love to sing, so I joined!”

And she has loved it. Not only does she get to sing, but all of her friends are in the group as well. “All of my best friends are in Soul II Soul, and it’s just a really neat environment,” Taylor said. She also loves that the group helps in her spiritual growth. “The group helps me because I am around a lot of people, and I see their faith and it makes me want to be like them,” she said. Taylor believes that being surrounded by strong Christian people makes her strive to live the Christian lifestyle.

If anyone is interested in joining Soul II Soul, the group is always open to new members. “There are not any requirements to joining,” Taylor said, “anyone can come to the meetings and get involved.” Soul II Soul meetings are held at the Baptist Student Ministry on East College from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday nights.
