.. .. ........ .. ...... ...... .. .. .. .. .......... .... ...... .. .. .. ........................ .......... ...... ..................HOPE IS BORN.................. ......THE MESSAGE....The message is simple: that anything is possible to the one who believes! The message is that this is NOT true for a select few, but for you... for everyone. Hope is what necessitates the measure of faith that God has dealt to every man & woman. The message of hope is a word in season. Hope is a divine allotment to you for the purpose of maximizing your life! ....THE MISSION....The assignment is to get the message out to as many people as possible. We are intentional about getting the message downloaded in hearts and encoded in minds. Embracing the premise that, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," we are committed to filling the earth with a lot of HOPEFUL people. Desparate days demand us to actively participate rather than passively spectate in life! Hope's precious gift is to yield manifold fruit. ....THE MOVEMENT....This campaign is to eradicate lethargy. It's designed to be the catalyst that gets people engaged! First to get them to embrace the concept, reality, and truth of the message. Predicated upon the message and the mission "Believe" is an action word. In other words, if you believe the building is on fire, you move towards the exit. If you believe that the bank is going under with all of your money in it, you immediately make a withdrawal. ..Urgency! Not anxiety, but urgency. Not "I'll get to it later," but NOW! Faith is NOW! Now faith makes evident, real and tangible the things HOPED for. Simply put, this is a movement to get people stepping and God has obligated himself to order our steps! ...... ..................PUT YOUR FAITH INTO ACTION..................... ....In the interest of hope, "the Bible says that Faith is the substance of things "hoped" for the evidence of things not seen". What is something that you are hopeful about and willing to put your faith in action for? Just a thought... ....WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW:..1) Join the Movement. ..Subscribe to the Desmond Pringle mailing list... ..2) ..Download the "Hope Is Born" mp3.. and share it with your family, friends and colleagues. ..3) Share with us your hopes, moments of optimism, and expectations on ..MySpace.., ..LiveJournal.., ..Blogger.. or by ..email... ..4) Post "Hope Is Born" ..widgets..

Whether delivering his signature-smooth ballads, thought provoking lyrics or energetic choir songs, Desmond has already taken his place among the ranks of great gospel artists of his generation. A down to earth, approachable artist, Desmond's soulful gospel style has garnered him the title Gospel Balladeer from his ever-growing base of loyal supporters. ..Desmond's journey into professional music began in the lead role of the hit gospel musical A Good Man Is Hard To Find. His portrayal received an NAACP Image Award nomination. The native South Carolinian then relocated to Chicago in 1993 to further develop his musical prowess. His work as a singer/songwriter gained him contributions to award-winning artists including Yolanda Adams, Bishop T. D. Jakes, R. Kelly and The Thompson Community Singers. Add to that-- stellar performances at the Stockholm Gospel Festival and the award as the Best Male Vocalist by the African American Religious Connection. In 1998 his independent release Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs grabbed the attention of Chicago radio and led to a deal with Tommy Boy Gospel. Loyalty attracted a broad-base, diverse, multicultural audience, and Desmond's first class musical performances won the enthusiastic respect of music lovers and accolades of industry professionals alike. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ..As a vocalist Desmond's rich, jaw-dropping vocal range and hallmark style is reflective of his varied musical influences. From contemporary gospel - to the soul - to pop and big band ---but a Desmond Pringle presentation always has a serious, unapologetic traditional gospel core. I grew up in church, so traditional gospel is definitely a center-piece for me. As a child I listened to the wonderful richness of artists like James Cleveland, The Hawkins Family, Andre Crouch and Vanessa Bell Armstrong. Even today, I love that sound. Hearing that music still stops me in my tracks. Maybe by today's standards it would be considered technologically imperfect by some, but for me--the heart and soul of that music stills comes through loud and clear. Even 20-30-40 years later, that is the music that has had - and continues to have-- a profound influence on my life and music. ..After serving as VP of Urban / Gospel for Warner Bros. Records the ordained minister and psalmist was able to spend quality time working on songs without any distractions or pressures. God blessed and allowed me to slow my pace, says Desmond. It was really a good place in my life spiritually and creatively. I spent time getting in touch with my own heart and focusing on what I believe God wanted to say next through my music. It was out of that quiet time that his latest musical offering Be Still... was born. ..Life today moves at an incredible pace. Everything is quick, fast, hurry up, and microwave, right away, right now. Time with God often gets squeezed out of the equation. As a result, people are stressed, depressed, worried and fearful. The Word of the Lord for all of us is to Be Still. Stop, take some time and get in the presence of God. God is concerned about everything that concerns us. Know that He has everything under control. Once we do that we can see His salvation - and His hand at work in our lives. ..Be Still... contains new material - plus tracks from Desmond's participation as singer/songwriter on award winning, radio chart toppers including CeCe Winans and The Born Again Choir and Bishop Paul Morton and the Full Gospel Baptist Mass Choir. Creating music that is biblically sound, message-driven and church friendly is important to me, says Desmond. I was honored to be able to work with some of gospel music's most gifted artists. ..Gospel music is a very simple - but powerful vehicle that is able to change hearts, says Desmond. Sharing my ministry and music with integrity is the most important thing in my life. ...... .................."HOPE IS BORN" BANNERS.................. ......Post "Hope Is Born" banners to your website......copy and paste the code from the box to your profile or blog... ................ .. ................ .. ..................
