Hello Uganda, we are privileged to be reaching us to more than 8 countries in the entire world since 2015. We do hope to create a platform that preaches nothing but Christ and presents news relevant to Christians all over the world.
Our work, our vision and our messages to you every day have nothing driven by selfish or personal motives. We might have to reach out to one soul at a time, which is alright provided that we are a fruitful in all our efforts to present God’s word.
What is Urban Gospel? Much like Southern Gospel music, Urban Gospel hit the big time via quartets. Most of the early groups were composed of all males, but there were a few female groups. Huge choirs eventually replaced the quartets in popularity and were soon joined by smaller groups, led by strong directors like Kirk Franklin. As younger fans discovered the joys of Urban Gospel, the genre added another facet in the form of the modern R&B sound even here in Uganda.
Of course we could not list them all out, enjoy some of the most inspirational Urban Gospel artists right here that include Tim Bowman Jr., Casey J, Kirk Franklin, Anthony Brown & group therapy, Travis Greene, Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago
“Intentional” – Travis Greene
Newcomer Travis Greene saw his debut single, off of his brand new EP become the hottest selling gospel track in the country in July. Last August, it debuted in the chart at #8. In a press release, he shared his joy over the song doing so well right out of the gate, saying, “My prayer for this song was that it would simply encourage people around the world to trust God more and know that He does everything intentionally for our good!”
‘Turning Around for Me’ singer has a string of hits which includes His Blood Still Works, My Worship Is for Real, Chasing After You, God My God, Greatest Man, and You Reign. In 2011, Mitchell received 11 Stellar Award nominations and won six trophies. He was also nominated for two Grammy Awards and two GMA Dove Awards.
“Worth” – Anthony Brown & group therapy. The lead single from the group’s new sophomore album, Everyday Jesus the Live Experience, is a powerful anthem about the worth that we have in God’s eyes.
Vashawn Mitchell – Nobody greater nobody greater than you.
Wanna Be Happy?” – Kirk Franklin’s lead single from Losing My Religion, which hit the charts in September and now sits on top of both Billboard and Cashbox, is guaranteed to bring a smile (even if it feels like he’s singing directly to you)! The whole project was well worth the four-year wait since Hello Fear.
“I’m Good” – Tim Bowman Jr. The single from Vickie Winans’ nephew debuted in June of 2014. In a real surprise move, the song has gained so much popularity here of late that it now sits in the Top 10 on Billboard.
Brian Courtney Wilson – “Worth Fighting For”, the number one urban gospel song of July, was the title track from Brian’s 2014 release and first live album. “Worth Fighting For” is a preeminent tune that is as fitting as it is fervent. Jesus sees us as being worth fighting for even when we cannot see ourselves in that light.
