In 1984,  Ron & Jean continued with their ministry and were blessed with the  addition of featured artist,  Bill Crandall.  Bill was an established singer/saxophonist who also wrote and performed the hit songs,  "Short Shorts"  by the Royal Teens and  "Lies"  by The Knickerbockers."  Other members of the group included Reggie Jones who was a member of many famous  Motown singing groups  and John Soto, who served the group ministering in Spanish. They continued to minister in music at area churches and visited virtually every Christian denominational as well as Roman Catholic Church group.

                             Taking the lead to study about the biblical Hebraic roots of their faith, Ron & Jean also began to study Israeli music. Their  first record album,  "Y'shua Is The Light Of The World"  was recorded in 1984 under MORADA  RECORDS,  Nashville, TN. Their premiere album was a blend of Hebrew/English traditional and contemporary selections. With this album they were able to minister in Messianic congregations that began sprouting up in the NJ/NY area in the late 70's. They quickly felt that Messianic music was  to be their love and the musical path which they were to take.  As they brought and started singing the name of Yahushua wherever they ministered, they witnessed the power of the true name and the great spiritual benefits for their fellow congregants.

 In 1989, under the group name,  RAPTURE,  Jerusalem Rivers recorded and released the original album,  "APOCALYPTIC   HORSEMEN" under Quick Silver Records, Aesedia, CA . This Christian rock album made waves with its hard hitting music and challenging biblical lyrical content.

 In 1993 Jerusalem  Rivers' third recording came out under the title, "The Lord Is One."  In this collection, influences from  Rabbi Shlomo  Carlbach, well known Chassidic singer/songwriter, inspired the bulk of the work. Original arrangements of selected psalms rounded out the collection.  

 In 1998, Jerusalem Rivers was comprised of Ron & Jean with  Rev. Antonios Thigpen and Leon Butts. They recorded an album entitled  "One Way,"  a collection of original gospel songs. This album was well received and ministered to hundreds of people, turning them to the gospel message. Featured on this album  was Lenny Welch.  Lenny  was a well known balladeer of the early 60's best known for his hit records,  "Since  I  Fell  For  You,"  "Ebb Tide," and  "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do."   Lenny  lent his smooth vocals to the collection on his moving rendition of the gospel favorite,  "Precious Lord."
