Gospel Music Industry Presents A Concert of Hope to Aid Katrina Victims

Sep 7 2005
The Gospel Music Channel is partnering with the Gospel Music Association (GMA), Paxson Communications Corporation’s i (formerly PAX TV), and promoter Peter Conlon to launch a live nationally televised concert, called Gospel Angels, featuring Gospel/Christian music’s brightest stars. Gospel Angels is the gospel music industry’s outreach to the tens of thousands of people torn from their homes by Hurricane Katrina.

“America is facing an unprecedented crisis of people torn from their homes and left with nothing but the clothes on their backs. It’s critical that we step up to meet this next phase of the crisis in their lives, providing tangible assistance as well as hope, which gospel music communicates like no other music,” said Charley Humbard, co-founder of the Gospel Music Channel which is producing Gospel Angels.

Gospel Angels will be staged at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park with additional live performances originating from massive victim shelters across the country.

The live event will air on Thursday, Sept. 22.

  • Gospel Music Channel 7:00pm – 10:00pm EDT

  • i (formerly PAX TV) 8:00pm – 10:00pm EDT

Gospel music has always been about love, hope, and inspiration. Today, people from the Gulf Coast region are in desperate need of those three things, as well as basic living necessities like food, clothing, and housing. Gospel Angels will help meet those needs.

100% of funds raised through ticket sales and donations from concert goers and viewers of the national broadcast will go to organizations meeting the basic living needs of the hurricane victims, including World Vision and Feed the Children.
