DETROIT /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — It’s a full day of non-stop family fun with music, cars, and food! The CITY OF DAVID GOSPEL FEST & CAR SHOW is a super outdoor gospel music — food fest — car show extravaganza. It happens Saturday, June 26th at God’s Graceland Park, just in front of Greater Grace Temple and admission is FREE! (Start time is 12 NOON for the car show, 5:00 p.m. for the Gospel Fest.) A big crowd is expected to bring their lawn chairs and blankets to the afternoon’s gospel blowout featuring nationally known gospel artist Dorinda Clark-Cole. Plus, Angel Nevels (of the Nevels Sisters), Mark Holley & 1-A-Chord, and many more Detroit-area gospel artists.

THE GGT CLASSIC & NEW CAR SHOW features dozens of antique cars, hotrods, and even new cars straight from the dealers’ showroom floors. Nearly 60-70 classics and hotrods are expected along with many new cars, both domestic and foreign models. In addition to the music and cars, there will be fabulous food, a train ride & inflatables for the kids, as well as games, prizes and giveaways.

The roots of this event go back to the 1980s when the church would sell barbecue dinners as a fundraiser. Some of the deacons would bring their classic cars to the event, and it would draw crowds, and of course customers. Over the years, more aspects were added, and it evolved into an outdoor gospel fest and classic car show.

This community festival is sponsored by The Master’s Commission of Greater Grace Temple. It’s also sponsored in part by the office of Wayne County Exec. Robert Ficano, State Farm Insurance, Pepsi-Cola, Hitachi Automotive, Comerica Bank, Happy’s Pizza, and Sinai-Grace Hospital of Detroit.

An All Out Blast for Africa on GOD TV

Through Angel Mission wells, $5 can provide clean water for a person for 20 years

/Christian Newswire/ — Six explosive bands will be performing LIVE on GOD TV this weekend as the Angel Mission Benefit Concert is broadcast around the globe. This far-reaching initiative aims to raise support for desperately needed clean water wells in Africa – literally saving lives that would otherwise be lost to the global water crisis.

The Angel Mission Benefit Concert forms the climax of a full day’s line-up at the ‘I Love America’ Celebration in Springfield, Missouri. This grand scale event will be televised LIVE on GOD TV from 6pm (ET) on Friday July 3rd, with an edited version broadcast on Independence Day, July 4 at 1pm.
The featured artists include the cross-cultural worship style of Israel Houghton & New Breed ( www.newbreedmusic.com); Leeland, the alternative and progressive rock band from Texas ( www.leelandonline.com); and Press Play, which captivates its growing fan-base with pop/rock, rap and urban sounds ( www.thisispressplay.tv).
Also featured are: The Afters, a Dove Award winning band famous for pounding out beats that change gear from pop to ballad to alternative rock (www.theafters.com); Vicky Beeching an anointed worship leader from the UK who sings words of deep adoration ( www.vickybeeching.com); and Live Out Loud: an alternative rock duo from Zimbabwe who create inspirational rock tones with lyrics that tackle the issues facing Africa. ( www.myspace.com/liveoutloud5).
The public is invited to participate in this event. Those wanting to get involved can attend in person, watch on GOD TV, watch the webcast at www.5dollarwater.com or donate $5 by texting the word WATER to 90999.

“884 million people do not have access to safe water and 1.4 million children die each year because of this. That is 4,000 children per day,” said GOD TV / Angel Mission co-founder Rory Alec. “Africa faces a desperate need for clean water, but through Angel Mission’s drilling of community water wells as little as $5 can help provide a single person with sufficient water for 20 years. This means everyone can be part of helping revive entire communities in this vast continent.”
Net proceeds for the Angel Mission Benefit Concert will go to 25 water projects in the West Pokot region of Kenya. And, with so many top bands performing for such a worthy cause, viewers are in for some unsurpassed musical entertainment.
Angel Mission, a ministry outreach of GOD TV, is a Christian international development organization, bringing help and hope to poor communities. Partnering with the Church and other organizations, it seeks to find sustainable ways to help alleviate poverty and share God’s love with all people.
