Paul Heil, the founder and host of what could easily be considered the premiere Southern Gospel radio program in North America has died.
Heil’s The Gospel Greats has been aired on more than 200 Southern Gospel stations since its debut in August 1980. The Gospel Greats website says his program was also carried via Satellite networks.
Heil was inducted into the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2014 and was awarded the 2016 “Radio Impact Award – Southern Gospel” at the 47th Annual Dove Awards. He was also a founding member of the Southern Gospel Music Guild.
A Cathedral built in Massachusetts in the mid 1800’s has been vandalized.
Police in the US say someone broke stained glass windows and caused other damage at the Cathedral of Saint Mary in Falls River. A priest at the cathedral told WLNE television he learned of the damage on Saturday. He also told the TV station it was not the first time criminals have damaged the building. It is unknown if a previous act of vandalism is related to Saturday’s incident.
“I think it’s maybe crazy people, maybe people who hate the church,” Congregation member Claudia Mendoza told WCVB television.
A report from WPRI television estimates the damage done to the Cathedral at around $25,000 US.
Texas Gospel Canada is happy to announce that Ravi Zacharias’s daily short feature has been added to our weekday Programming.
Zacharias is the author of more than 30 books including The Grand Weaver, Jesus among other gods, and Walking from East to West. The website of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries says its primary mission is to, “…reach and challenge those who shape the ideas of a culture with the credibility of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Distinctive in its strong evangelistic and apologetic foundation, the ministry of RZIM is intended to touch both the heart and the intellect of the thinkers and influencers of society through the support of the visionary leadership of Ravi Zacharias.”
Listen for this daily short feature Monday – Friday at 2 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Texas Gospel Canada!
EDITOR’S NOTE: We hope you enjoy this short feature and others heard throughout the day on Texas Gospel Canada. We do not charge ministries for airtime nor do we solicit donations for the station’s operation to keep these ministries on Texas Gospel Canada. Our station is fully funded by the volunteers who give their time and resources to spread the Good News of Jesus.
The Isaacs latest project has a perfect title for release in 2020: Songs for the Times. It has a mix of traditional music such as “Ain’t No Grave” and Andre’ Crouch’s song, “Through it All,” alongside newer selections including the recent single “The Wilderness.” Each cut fits the theme of the project’s title.
Texas Gospel Canada spoke with Lilly Isaacs about the project. She said it was an act of hope for all of their friends and fans. They took advantage of the downtime during the pandemic and put it to good use.
“We loved involving all of our fans in selecting songs, watching the entire project being recorded, and the comments were just exciting. We feel like we did this together with all the people that have supported us throughout the years. We pray blessings and hope for this new coming year, “said Lilly.
The Isaacs recently shared a look behind the scenes as they turned their concept into reality. We thought you might enjoy seeing how a Gospel music session looks from the musician’s perspective.
A post from the Isaacs says It feels like there is a lot of hurt going on in the world right now, and sometimes we all might feel like were alone. Just remember “God won’t lead you where he won’t keep you..and he’ll be with you in the wilderness”
