Gospel Music minister and recording artiste Evans Ighodalo returns with Dance of Joy “Unek Idara” a fast tempo contemporary African Praise song.

Unek Idara is lyrically balanced with a touch of English, Efik and Ibibio from the Southern part of Nigeria.

Evans has indeed mastered the craft with release of amazing tunes since his entry into the min-dustry and the creativity exerted on this new single a proof he knows his onions.

On a daily basis the mercies of God are new and his goodness never seizes. Our appreciation can be by the words we speak or the act of celebration with a dance.

Even though we may understand that worship is a very important priority, we sometimes struggle with expressions of worship. Because of our personalities, our backgrounds and our traditions we sometimes find it difficult to express our praise. But expressing praise to God is a major part of our worship. Why? Because God’s presence is manifested, evident when we praise Him.

(Psa 22:3) “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Get your dancing shoes on and let’s give God some holyghost dance joyfully.

EmpoweredBy Release New Rock & Soul EP, ‘Empowered By Where You Are’ | @Empoweredby01 |

‘Empowered By Where You Are’ is the newest 6 track EP from music ministry EmpoweredBy featuring vocals from The Voice UK 2018 semi-finalist, Jason Nicholson-Porter.

Written and produced by Warren King, the founder of EmpoweredBy music ministry, this EP is the ministry’s second project in 2018 and features original Rock & Soul songs of prayer and praise that take the listener on a journey to encountering God where He is. Songs such as ‘In Your Presence’, (Nicholson-Porter’s personal favourite) a ballad about the beauty of being in God’s presence – a presence we can choose to be in.

Speaking on the theme of the EP Warren said, “A lot of the time we call God down to be where we are and to help us in our situations, it’s a lot of focus on us. But something challenged me to step out from where I am and try to go to where He is. Try and see where He dwells! The Bible says that ‘Heaven is His throne and the Earth His footstool’. But no king lives on a throne. They sit on a throne and they rule from a throne, but they also go elsewhere. So, my challenge was to answer, ‘Where is the elsewhere for God? Where is it that He dwells? Where is He?’ And that’s what this project is all about, tapping into where He is.”

Prior to the EP’s release, tracks ’Strawberries’ and ‘I Need You’ were released as singles in June and July 2018. Received well by radio and other Gospel media platforms the accompanying video to ‘I Need You’ can be currently viewed on TV channels TBN and Trace Gospel.

‘Empowered By Where You Are’ is available for download now on iTunesAmazon, and Google Play or can be streamed on Spotify.

NASHVILLE, Tenn (August 9, 2018) — Don Moen – internationally renown, multi-award winning worship artist and writer – is set to release his first book God Will Make a Way: Discovering His Hope in Your Story on October 16, 2018. The book will be published by Emanate Books, an imprint of Thomas Nelson. The book is available for pre-order now at www.DonMoenBook.com.

Written with prominent biographer Robert Noland and featuring a foreword from World Champion Boxer Manny Pacquiao, God Will Make a Way shares the story behind the award-winning hallmark song of Moen’s career, and encourages readers to rest in the fact that God is always working, though often in ways we cannot see. Moen knows first-hand and wants others to know that no matter how dire the circumstances, God does not forget his children.

“As I’ve traveled around the world, I’ve seen God work in countless ways, bringing hope to people who have lost hope. I have seen Him make a way where there seemed to be no way, and I’m excited to share many of these stories in my new book,” said Moen.

“We are absolutely honored to partner with Don on his first, groundbreaking book God Will Make a Way,” said Joel Kneedler, publisher of Emanate Books. “His fans will immediately recognize Don’s heart in the pages of this book. He is the ultimate encourager and storyteller.”

Through personal stories and encouraging Scripture, Don provides comfort to those struggling with doubt. He reminds readers that the same God who parted the Red Sea, saving Moses and the children of Israel, is the same God we know and serve today.

Don Moen, a pioneer of the modern Praise and Worship movement, has spent his career as a worship leader, producer, songwriter, and music executive. Moen has sold over 5 MILLION records during his career. While a student at Oral Roberts University in the early 70s, Moen began touring with the musical group Living Sound and evangelist Terry Law. By 1986, Moen had recorded “Give Thanks” for the Hosanna Music! praise and worship series at Integrity Music, where he would serve as creative director, executive producer, and eventually, president of the label. During his tenure there, he sold more than 5 million units and signed worship leaders and songwriters, such as Paul Baloche, Ron Kenoly, Darlene Zschech, and many more. Today, Moen lives in Nashville, Tenn., with his wife, Laura, where he is president of Don Moen Productions and oversees his international nonprofit ministry, Worship in Action.

Emanate Books is where the Spirit meets the word. This Thomas Nelson imprint publishes and promotes content for the ever-growing nondenominational, charismatic community. Authors at Emanate have a passion for Jesus, an abiding trust in the veracity of the Scriptures, and believe in the present-day work of the Holy Spirit.

Nashville, TN (August 10, 2018) – Today, six-time GRAMMY® winning artist, ISRAEL HOUGHTON, unveiled the cover art for his highly anticipated album, Road To DeMaskUs. In addition to sharing the cover with his fans, Houghton launched the album’s second single, “Promise Keeper,” featuring Travis Greene.

Road To DeMaskUs will release in September and is available for pre-order on September 7th. Road To DeMaskUs is a nod to the popular Biblical tale of the Apostle Paul’s journey of transformation. The title displays an intentionally creative spelling as it encourages the removal of all the “masks” we find ourselves wearing in life. Whether we are masking our emotions, or masking our authentic selves, Houghton is passionate about reminding people that God’s love is not based upon who we are pretending to be. Rather, it is present & available for us exactly as we are. Houghton’s prayer is that this album becomes a tool to help de-mask us.

Last month, Houghton announced the Road To DeMaskUs Tour, which will kick off on September 27th in conjunction with the new album. The tour will begin in Chicago and make stops in twelve cities including New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Detroit.

A world-renowned artist, producer, and songwriter whose career spans over two decades, Houghton just received a GMA Dove Award nomination for Spanish Language Album of the Year as a producer for Lucía Parker’s, Revive.

Israel Houghton, “Promise Keeper” (ft. Travis Greene) is available now:
