YWAM Kona Music is the worship team and soundtrack for this heart-fire movement located in Kona, Hawaii. The birth of their newest release, “Missionary Anthem” by Hannah and Seth Yates of YWAM Kona Music is a story of self-discovery and obedience.

Hannah found herself longing for an obedient life over an adventurous one. During a quiet solitary moment by a dying fire in an empty living room, her realization ignited the lyrics of the chorus, “For the Lamb has conquered, I will follow Him, to the ends of the earth, I will follow Him.”

As the words flowed, the fire next to her rekindled, symbolizing a renewed passion for her missionary life. Through “Missionary Anthem”, Hannah and Seth hope to bring a message of purpose and urgency to the Church. They say, “Songs about the Great Commission can inspire the body of Christ, connecting hearts to Jesus on the Cross, the power of His blood, and the hope that all nations have in Him.”

“Missionary Anthem” is a testament to obedience. It’s a reminder of our duty to follow the Lamb no matter where He leads. It’s an anthem reminding us that we are all part of a greater mission, and that together, we can bring hope to every corner of the world.

Dubai based Music Minister, Ikenna Onyebuchi Okafor is out with a new single titled “Sanctuary”.

Sanctuary is a remix of beautiful and inspiring song that has become a favourite among Christians all over the world. The original song was written by John W. Thompson and Randy Scruggs and was made popular by the Vineyard Worship Movement.

The inspiration for this remix came from a quest to be pure. Purity is the desire of my heart. It most certainly should be, as purity or holiness is in fact the desire of a true believer. Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” The attitude of the redeemed is a hunger and thirst for righteousness. It is this initial hunger that first drives them to Jesus for salvation. It is the continual hunger even after salvation that causes a true believer to long for a life of purity.

The challenges we go through reveal different aspects of God to us. Most of the names we call God today we’re chronicled by individuals who had experienced God’s help at different levels of their lives.

Minister Preye Odede had one of such experiences which you can consider a life defining moment when he was wrongly diagnosed for a medical condition that traumatized him for a long period but God in His sovereignty revealed himself as Yahweh and healed him.

Yahweh, a distinct name God is called which showcases his power and authority as the all sufficient and powerful one with whom there is no comparison.

Minister Preye Odede’s experience during these harrowing times gave birth to this song he is sharing with the world called “Yahweh (this is you)”. The song carefully captures the ways God comes through for us in various situations as we look back appreciation, we can truly say “Yahweh this is you”. Indeed God worked always behind the scenes to make an open show of his goodness in our lives.

The song is available on all digital platforms.

Drew & Ellie Holcomb are excited to announce that they will be releasing their new Brick by Brick EP this coming Valentine’s Day – the same day the duo kick-off their Feels Like Home US headline tour. News of the EP comes with the release of the achingly beautiful title track “Brick by Brick”. The song opens with the sounds of an acoustic guitar and is anchored by the warm tones, subtle twang, and alluring cadence of the pedal steel as well as Drew & Ellie’s harmonies.

“‘Brick by Brick’ tells the slow and steady kind of love story that heals us and invites us back home to ourselves. This is the love I’ve known in Drew, and I’ll be forever grateful for it. I loved writing this song with my talented friend, Taylor Leondhart. I’m a big fan of her music, and what a joy to become friends and find in her a kindred spirit.” – Ellie Holcomb on “Brick by Brick”

The new EP is their first new music since 2023’s “Bones” single that followed 2022’s Coming Home: A Collection of Songs album – featuring songs the duo had written over the years along with new single “Coming Home,” a cover of Willie Nelson’s “On The Road Again,” and a re-recorded version of fan favorite “Hung the Moon.” When asked about the new Brick by Brick EP Ellie shared…

“I love anytime Drew and I get to make music together. It feels old and familiar, and new all at the same time. Drew’s been traveling a lot on the road, so this batch of songs is a combo of ones we’ve written both apart and together, and I couldn’t love them more. These songs embrace steady love, dancing, and mystery, so naturally, I’m a big fan.”

Today marks the much-anticipated release of Linda Boles’ latest single, “Unborn,” to Christian Soft AC and Inspirational radio stations. This powerful and touching song, produced by Andy Baker and released under the Homegrown Worship label, showcases Boles’ extraordinary talent as both a singer and a songwriter.

“Unborn” is a poignant and thought-provoking song that narrates life from the perspective of a child not yet born. The lyrics poetically explore the unborn child’s hopes and dreams, their excitement about life, and their deep connection to their parents and God. Drawing inspiration from Jeremiah 1:5 and Psalm 139:15-16, the song eloquently expresses the sacredness of life, acknowledging that God knows and cherishes each individual even before their formation in the womb.

The song is not just a musical piece but a profound message and a prayer, calling for a renewed appreciation of the value of human life. It’s a gentle yet compelling plea to recognize the preciousness of children as God’s greatest gift and legacy.

Linda Boles’ journey in music spans decades, from her roots in her family’s bluegrass band, The Darden Family, to her significant contributions in various genres, including folk and rock. Her life experiences, including personal tragedies and triumphs, have deeply influenced her songwriting, making her music resonate with authenticity and passion.

Boles’ partnership with Homegrown Worship as her producer ushers in a new chapter in her mission to convey God’s message through music. With “Unborn,” she hopes to touch hearts and minds worldwide, promoting a message of love, life, and hope.
