Hip Hop artists Jahaziel and Guvna B have joined together to record a new charity single, ‘Coming For Me’, in order to raise awareness of the countless Christians who face injustice, persecution and discrimination simply because of their faith.

‘Coming For Me’ was inspired by Brother Andrew and has been presented by Preacher Boy Missions. The song was produced by Grammy Nominated and award winning producer Steven ‘G.P.’ Abramsamadu

Rapper Jahaziel, who went on a trip to aid the persecuted in Pakistan, said:”Meeting with Christian brothers and sisters in Pakistan who’ve lost homes, family, along with their freedoms for following Jesus is the starkest reminder I have ever experienced of what the Gospel of Jesus means. Their horrific plight inspired me to make this track and hopefully give these people a voice”.

‘Coming For Me’ is being released to draw attention to Open Doors’ Right to Believe campaign which has now been signed by over 80,000 people in the UK alone.

We are urging all of our supporters to download the song this week and spread the word. Please visit facebook.com/opendoorsuk for the official music video.

The Hip Hop artists involved in the song are Jahaziel, Guvna B, New Direction Crew, McGladius from 29th Chapter, E Tizz, S.O, and Armor.

Church Charity: Kingdom Assembly (KA), based in Deptford, south east London aim to distribute 100 food parcels

by admin on November 18, 2010

in Charity,NEWS - Church


One church aiming to ease the hardship many families are experiencing as a result of the recession and public spending cuts is Kingdom Assembly (KA), based in Deptford, south east London.

On Sunday 21 November, the church will be holding it’s first ever KA Food Package Give Away, and aim to distribute 100 food parcels containing rice, pasta and tinned food to families in need after the 12.30pm service.

People who cannot afford to buy food or are having trouble feeding their families are invited to attend the service so that they can receive a food parcel. They will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.

The brainchild behind this initiative is Michael Kosmas, the founder and Senior Pastor of Kingdom Assembly. He stated “Increasing numbers of individuals and families have been hit hard by the recession. The difficulties they’ve were experiencing have been compounded by the recent public spending cuts and some are finding it difficult to feed themselves and their families. Our church feels it’s important to reach out to those who are financially stretched, and are going without food as a result of those difficulties.”
He continued, “This initiative has been inspired by the words of Jesus, “For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ (Matthew 25:35-36).

“It’s important churches help those that are struggling and we feel that the KA Food Package Giveaway will play a small part in doing that.”

Kingdom Assembly was launched in July 2010 and aims to be a community church, preaching the gospel and supporting people through life’s ups and downs and providing a range of activities that inspire, inform and share gospel values in a culturally relevant way.

For more information call Kingdom Assembly 020 7231 0750 / 07507712657 or email info@kingdomassembly.org.uk

WoW! Christian music favorite Sarah Kelly donates a portion of album royalties to different charities

by admin on October 31, 2010

in Charity,Music News,MUSIC USA,Music Videos


The reason I wanted to do an independent album, was so I could give the publishing money to these causes,” explains Kelly. “It seems that the fruit of ‘Christian music’ should go to things that Jesus cares about, not to my big house fund, or the label’s next big artist’s promotion fund. If God wants to bless this album, more kids get fed, more girls get out of the brothels, more cancer research happens. Music is for honoring God and bettering life. My prayer is that this album accomplishes this both musically and practically.”

Midnight Sun is the story of Sarah Kelly’s journey from hurt to hope, grasping to not only the knowledge, but the deep belief of God’s unique plan and passion for each of us.

by admin on April 20, 2010

in Charity,Music News,NEWS - General

Britain’s Christian community are being asked to support and buy charity single Somebody Please, recorded to raise money for the victims of the earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12.

Lawrence Johnson, music director at New Wine church in Woolwich, south east London, and Les Moir of Kingsway Music were moved to organise the recording after hearing that left over 200,000 people dead and millions homeless.

Lawrence explained, “We decided to record ‘Somebody Please’ because we felt the lyrics were very appropriate for the people we hope to raise funds for. It tells the story of a child crying out for help and justice. We’re very excited about this project. We’re hoping that the Christian community will really get behind this release, help push it on Facebook and their networks and make it a success.”

by admin on March 15, 2010

in Charity,Music News,NEWS - General

Marcia Dixon reports on the voice-online.co.uk about the recording of a charity single by UK Christian artists to raise money for the survivors of the Haitian earthquake.

It was a day to remember. Over 250 of Britain’s leading gospel artists, plus members of various choirs from across the UK gathered at the world famous Abbey Road studios in St John’s Wood, London to record a charity single, Somebody Please, to raise money for survivors of the Haitian earthquake.

‘Somebody Please’, is a track originally recorded last year by US Gospel star Israel Houghton who wrote the song with leading UK praise and worship artist Noel Robinson.

The track featured on One Voice, a compilation CD released by Kingsway Music last year.

However the album’s executive producers Lawrence Johnson and Les Moir decided to re record the track with the addition of the leading names on the UK gospel scene in a bid to raise money for the island’s earthquake survivors.
