The performances from local artistes will be complemented by international gospel artistes Damita Haddon and Jessica Reedy of the USA, along with Bishop John Cline and the 50-member New Life Baptist Church Choir of the British Virgin Islands. Damita Haddon, who is popularly known for her big hits âIt All Belongs To Youâ and âPraise You Now,â is asking Vincentians to âwalk with their dancing shoes and garments of praise for an evening of powerful worshipâ, while Jessica Reedy, the BET Gospel Across America winner, is promising Vincentians âA night to remember in the presence of the Lordâ. Popular televangelist Bishop John Cline will also deliver special messages for the nation on both nights.
Chairman of the Gospel Fest Committee Fidel Taylor will give an official address along with the major sponsors.
SVG Gospel Fest, now into its tenth year, is being celebrated under the theme: âA Glorious Celebration of the Gospel of Jesus Christâ. Given the growing popularity of the festival, the committee is expecting a large turnout at the Victoria Park.
