Gospel PraiSing Ministries 2nd anniversary!
The very successful Gospel PraiSing Festival held last Sunday, August 23rd, was an amazing way to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Gospel PraiSing Ministries.

Being a numbers person…let me share highlights of Gospel PraiSing Ministries’ first two years.
2 – Gospel PraiSing Festivals
2 – Nationally known guest artists
14 – area bands
70 – musicians
23 – Gospel PraiSing Fiestas
67 – guest musicians
7 – area charities/non-profits benefitting from your generous donations.
$28,600+ – shared among them
Countless uplifting songs to nourish the soul!

This is GPS Ministries’ mission; to provide venues for area musicians to share their gifts as Christian music artists and in turn give to local charities. Thank you to everyone who has shared your musical talents, attended our events, donated to our charities, and been part of our mission.

The pictures are of the area charities or non-profits who benefitted from your donations in the last two years.

Stay tuned. More to come.

What many don't know about Sunday's GOSPEL PRAISING FESTIVAL...
GPS Ministries was founded to provide opportunities for area Christian music performers AND in turn provide support for local charities and nonprofits who are doing wonderful work in the Bismarck/Mandan area.

Sunday's Gospel PraiSing Festival is FREE to attend. We do it for the community but also a greater purpose. A free-will donation will be taken up during the day. 100% of what goes in the collection basket goes to HEAVENS HELPERS GO DISCIPLE ministry.
