First off, I am not a gospel musician. I am a Christian that does music.
I have been in choir for years, seen it all. Singing your heart and trekking home. Everybody tasking each other to go home. Yet You people invite Foreign artist and pay them in dollars and fly them and their whole Crew down. Best hotels and logistics. Now that the people have learn and understood value, gaslighting has started. Many choir members struggle to feed and have a decent place to sleep. Many can’t afford choir uniforms. Gospel musicians are definitely not the problem.
They are not one’s building schools and charging fees their members can’t pay.
If you invite Don moen, u can’t even think of giving Him 5m.
We like to undervalue our own. Treat them small.
What’s with the mentality of Fly but not so high.
You people should stop. As much as music and worship is spiritual. It is art too, the chord progression, the synchronization, harmony and sweet melody is ART. Took years of practice to learn and THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR. VALUE, The music ministry is not a lesser ministry that another.
Oga preach Jesus and Jesus alone. Value people and their craft, even inside church no be everybody dey collect the same salary. If you divide money for choir members instead of guest, them go sing their heart out. All these was said in love.
