Gospel Messengers Reach National Chart 

                     

Longtime MAGMA members “Gospel Messengers” are excited to share their first major success on the national stage. The month of May saw a great convention song “I Walk With Jesus Each Day” become the # 57 song in all of gospel music on The Singing News radio play charts. The studio cut is available on: Itunes, CdBaby, Amazon, and gospelmessengersministry.org. This song was arranged by Dennis and Daniel with the latter completing his first album-length studio appearance on the bass guitar! 

Each member of Gospel Messengers is thrilled with the song’s reach and grateful for it’s nationwide impact. More so than the gift, we thank the Giver who not only gave his life as a ransom for sin, rose from the grave to give his sacrifice power, but does indeed walk with us daily! The question becomes: Will we walk with Him? This message goes out with many thanks to members of MAGMA who have encouraged us through the years and a hope for mutual prayer as we attempt to lift up the name of Jesus through our respective ministries.
