‘Touching Lives…Changing Nations’: Barbados Gospelfest 2024
by Karen Rollins May 13, 2024
The Barbados Gospelfest 2024 event is celebrating 31 years of ‘touching lives, changing nations’ from 26 May-2 June with a week of music, laughter, worship, and praise.
The uplifting annual event showcases some of the most inspirational local, regional, and international gospel talent. This year, attendees can expect another full schedule of spiritually enriching activities.
Some of the artistes gracing the Barbados Gospelfest stage in 2024 include Nigeria’s Limoblaze, award-winning musician Samuel Medas, and Marvia Providence.
Speaking during a recent media launch, executive producer of Barbados Gospelfest, Adrian Agard, urged Barbadians to support the event.
He said: “One may expect that given the kind of challenges this country faces, an activity like this would be embraced. However, on the contrary, over the years we have encountered those who are willing to pretend that the Barbados Gospelfest does not exist, while others are of the misguided notion that if they ignore us long enough, we will disappear; however, with God’s help we press on.”
