Anthony Ponder Launches Video Series Honoring Gospel Music Icons on Youtube

-

(Jersey City, NJ) --  Anthony Ponder & Ministry's Desire (APMD) are a collective of singers in the New Jersey area who focus on authentic music ministry.  Founder Anthony Ponder directs these young but seasoned singers who released their Billboard charting  single "Favor" earlier this year.  APMD's "Favor" single features popular choir director Natalie Wilson and boasts vocal production by multiple award winning singer, songwriter Vashawn Mitchell.  
APMD has developed their powerful and poignant artistry in part by gleaning from many of Gospel music's greatest artists.  As they continue to develop and elevate their craft artistically and broaden their brand notoriety, APMD feels it is important to acknowledge and honor some of the pillars of the Gospel music genre.  Anthony has launched a series of videos called The Tribute Sessions in which APMD performs classic hits by Gospel's biggest artist.
The first Tribute Session pays tribute to Grammy, Stellar and Dove Award winning legends Donald Lawrence and Hezekiah Walker. APMD invites fans to watch as they rehearse and record Anthony's tribute arrangement of "Oh I Feel Jesus", which was written by Donald Lawrence for the FAMILY AFFAIR album by Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Crusade Choir in 1999 on Verity Records.
"With each level of success I personally and publicly achieve, it's important I never forget those who helped me along the way," Anthony explains.  "This first tribute video is dedicated to Donald Lawrence and Bishop Hezekiah Walker.  Working on this video also allowed me to work with Marcia Sapp and Don Corey Washington who have been great inspirations to me as well."

Anthony and his dynamic singers are also working to complete their next album.  THE PROCESSalbum serves as a musical journal of Anthony's faith.  Anthony has weathered many storms and challenges and has endured the sometimes harsh process of life.  Through his music, Anthony encourages others to embrace those challenges and the process with unwavering faith.  Trust God and receive victory.

  By Mona Austin One of the most eligible bacherlors in Christianity has tied the knot - Marvin Winans remarries After being single for almost 30 years, legendary gospel singer and Bishop Marvin L. Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans. Little is known about the bride publicly. The gospel legend introduced the now Mrs. Winans as his fiance to the congregants of Perfecting in October of 2021. The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years. Pastor Winans was previously married to fellow gospel singer Vicki Winans (with whom he has two sons) for 16 years before they divorced in 1995. Held at the Colony Club in Detroit, MI, on April 22, the wedding was officiated by fellow COGIC Bishop Darrell Hines. "Let their lives be full of joy as they live according to your word," he prayed. If we are judging by floral count, this could be one of th...

buzzz worthy. . . By Mona Austin Much of what the average American knows about Frederick Douglass lies in the pages of "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."  His memory has lived on through the annals of history as a heroic abolitionist. A recent article revered Douglass  as "A king among men."  Note to The Atlantic writer who wrote those words in the article  Memo to the White House on the Contributions of Frederick Douglass  --  applying t hat very Biblical reference to Douglass is an overstatement.  The article was a response  to President Donald Trump saying at a White House "Listening Session " on Black History Month that   Douglass is  “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”  The Atlantic article was intended to show Mr.Trump and others who may be ignorant of his significance that Douglass was not on the sidelines of Bl...
