I believe in miracles and I also stand on God's word when He says that "all things work for the good for those who love the Lord" and that is why I am taking this very bold step in asking whether there is any way that you can make my son's dream come true even in a smmmmaaaaaallll way.
Our family has just celebrated our eldest son's 21 Birthday and while we were busy with the arrangements, my youngest, Tyrone (who is 18 years old at the moment) mentioned a very wonderful thing that he wanted for his birthday (which will be in three years time God willing). He said "mommy I'd like to have a concert for my birthday - but and here's the big BUT "I would like to have Israel at my concert for my 21 celebration'. Now as a parent, one always wants to have the best for one's children and I don't think he could ask for better.
Tyrone has been walking with the Lord since the age of 13 and he has just recently been accepted at the University of Stellenbosch to study Theology.
Please let me know if there is any way that you can try and do something for this hopeful young fan. What can we do from our side.I know that you believe in fasting before you embark on any venture. Is that what we can do in the meantime (besides praying of course).
I trust that God in His mighty power and most precious grace will make a way.
God bless you and I hope to hear from you soon

Israel & New Breed's music is pure, powerful, and authentic worship experience that appeals to people of all races and religious denominations. I am a worship leader in Boston and I love that Kingdom Sound!
I am so glad to know I am a friend of God. The 2007 album "A Deeper Level" is yet another blessing to my home.
May God continue to bless your unifying ministry.

Isreal and New Breed are such an inspiration in my life. He's one of the reasons as to why I'm going to be a recording artist. I have to watch the Kansas City DVD all day everyday. Despite the fact that I've only known about her for less than 2 years, I feel like I've known New Breed my whole life. Your music brings such life into my spirit and I thank God that all of you are obedient to His Word and making the music come to life. Continue to take your ministry to higher levels. Oh yea, I hope to meet all of you one day in the music business. I'll continue to purchase and promote your music for as long as you stay in the business. God Bless you!-Shay

As a music person, I am thrilled with the generation-next appeal and the cross cultural imprint.
We as Christians must begin to act and live out what we profess that we are the light of the world. We can't just continue to keep God in the Church but spread it around to a hungry world that would really relate to Him in their language - compelling contemporary music! Kudos to Israel. Interestingly, Israel and Kirk Franklin alongside Donnie Mcclurkin are in Nigeria for a music festival of sort this weekend. Welcome to the heartbeat of Africa!

In our last Youth meeting we decided to have a guess come to minister to us. New Breeds name came up, and we felt that with it could be possible. Honestly, I knew of you and thought to myself they're well known but yet not in a world wide way. We better ask before they get too big. Then I found this site and After reading of your success I realized I was too late. God has already moved in all of your lives.But by faith we’ll continue to believe. In other words you’ll be hearing from us soon.
May God continue to Bless you all.
