 (Bill Gaither, Lemuel Miller, Michael English, Gary McSpaden 1987) After leaving the Vocal band Lemuel again traveled as an International Minister of Song and preacher of the Word of God. He has been a Nashville Recording Artist and has 12 recordings.
In 1978 Lemuel founded and directed the Christian Karate Association while owning and operating 3 Karate Schools and overseeing 21 affliated schools. In 1980 and 81 Lemuel won the "All Around World Karate Championships" winning the highest award given at the time the "Bushido Award."
In August of 2006 Lemuel and his wife DaVonne left Florida moved to South Georgia and became Senior Pastor of China Hill International Ministries. In 2012 Lemuel and his family moved back to their home in Wildwood Florida where he is acting Bishop over 8 different churches and ministries and the author of 10 books (5 ministery, 3 American Bulldogs, 2 Martial Arts).
As a child, Lemuel's mother made the comment to his father, "a boy needs to grow up with a good dog".  From that time until this, Lemuel has raised and trained dogs. In 1964, Lemuel started breeding dogs and then bred to his first registered Bulldog in 1967 known at the time as "American Pit Bulldog" later the "Pit" was dropped making it the now known American Bulldog. Lemuel and his wife DaVonne, have 3 wonderful children; Heather, Joshua, and Rachel, and 6 grandchildren all of whom love animals. When his children were small, Lemuel placed his children in business raising dogs in order to teach them about business, responsibility, and discipline. Naming the kennel after his son Joshua, the family spent quality time together  with their dogs.  With an absolute commitment to raising a true working Bulldog, Joshua Kennels only breeds the best of the best to the best never compromising for just conformation and size. Joshua Kennels feels that intelligence, temperament, and Ol' Fashion Bulldog Tenacity are far more important... however, it doesn't cost any more to feed a pretty one. In addition, Joshua Bulldogs have done well in the ring. Lem has raised and trained such National Champions as Joshua's Sand Valley Sam aka "Cowboy," Joshua's Tabatha, (a Cowboy daughter) Joshua's Caleb, Joshua's Ol' Southern White aka "Josh", and Joshua's Isaac to mention a few. Lem has judged the largest and most prestigious bulldog shows in the world, including the ABA National Specialty Show, NKC National Specialty, ABNA National Specialty etc. and won the coveted "Breeder of the Year" award. Although Lem is the author of the definitive book of American Bulldogs ("American Bulldogs Stories, Facts and Legends") he wants you to understand that he learns something new every day. Called by God to minister the Gospel of Christ, Lem says, "I breed bulldogs as a hobby, however,  if you buy a Joshua Bulldog, I'll do everything I can to make you happy!"
