Artist Watch: Zach Williams

Zach Williams is one of the most popular Christian male vocalists in the music industry today. In just a few years God turned the life from this former lead singer of a worldly rock band upside down to serve Him. Zach Williams’ newfound musical passion has been proven to be very successful with two Dove Awards and one Grammy Award. He has recently released his newest single ‘Rescue Story,’ which tells his beautiful story on how Jesus found and freed him.

 Zach Williams grew up in a pretty stable household in Jonesboro, Arkansas. His father was a worship leader and guitar player at their local church and both of his parents raised him in a home of Christianity, love, and safety. Zach focused on basketball in this period of his life. He turned out to be quite a talent and was scouted by colleges all over the state to grant him full scholarships. This success led to an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol in his life, which eventually led to losing everything he had been working for up to now.

It was at this low point of his life that Zach started to get back into music. After college, he moved back home but pursued the lifestyle of a worldly rock star with tours across America and Europe. His excessive use of drugs and alcohol continued but came to a stop when one of his band members started to attend a church. Zach and his wife joined his band member in the church and this is when God started to turn his life around. He was completely set free from his drug and alcohol addiction and became very involved in the Christian music ministry.

His song ‘Chain Breaker’ in 2017 strung a very touching chord in many hearts, and it definitely established Zach Williams as one of the most influential Christian male vocalists of today. Since then, many of his releases held top spots in the Christian music charts and were nominated for prestigious music awards.

Zach Williams has now released his new single ‘Rescue Story,’ which powerfully reflects on Jesus’ sacrifice to rescue us all, no matter how lost we are. Listen now to ‘Rescue Story’ on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

There are still people today, that say you can be a better Christian by keeping the law. But nobody could keep the law. That’s why God sent Jesus Christ into this world, so that we can be liberated, set free and be redeemed from the curse of the law. To come into the family of God and to make heaven your home, you must be born again.

Artist Watch: Jason Gray

Jason Gray is noted as one of the most compelling songwriters in the Christian music industry. He has had a very turbulent childhood with challenges that would shake the faith of many. However, God saw his situation and lifted him mightily up into the music ministry that he has today. This is all captured in his newest album “Order, Disorder, Reorder,” which will be released in three parts over 2019.

Jason Gray was born and raised in Minnesota. His musical journey began with singing in bar bands for a long time. During his childhood, he faced many challenges like living in a broken family with an abusive and criminal stepfather. His personal situation also caused the development of a speech handicap, which resulted in insecurity regarding using his musical gift. However, when his mother gave her heart to Jesus, it all turned around for his family. Jason Gray also gave his heart to Jesus in his youth and he started to write songs with a deep foundation in the word.

It was quickly noted that his songs had something special and it eventually resulted in a record label deal with Centricity Records in 2006. From this moment on, he released many songs that ended up in Christian music charts. He also had notable collaborations over time with major artists like Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Sanctus Real. ASCAP even awarded his song ‘Good to Be Alive’ with the “Most Performed Song Award” in 2012.

Jason Gray has now released his newest EP ‘Order.’ This EP is one of the three parts of his newest album “Order, Disorder, Reorder,” which will be released over 2019. He mentioned that this album is all about the transformation and process of the human spirit when it starts to live for God. The five songs of this EP perfectly reflect on the foundational wisdom for spiritual growth. Listen to the songs of Jason Gray’s newest EP ‘Order’ on Spotify, iTunes and Maasbach Radio.

Artist Watch: Tasha Layton

If you love hearing about what God is doing in lives all over the world, you don’t want to miss Tasha Layton’s testimony. There aren’t many Christian pop-artists in the world that totally turned their backs on God and the church before becoming famous. Tasha Layton did, but praise God… she returned to God after a long journey in her life and became a chart-ranking Christian artist.

Tasha Layton grew up in a small town in South Carolina where she devoutly attended church. In the teen years of her life, she began to sing in church and even led worship at her youth group. She was ignited to combine her love for music and God, but unfortunately, her church experienced a painful split. This also left a painful imprint in Tasha Layton, which heavily influenced her life. At a certain point in her life, she even left the church altogether with a confused heart.

She took these feelings with her as she continued onto college, which eventually resulted in depression. To the point that she even considered suicide. It was at this moment that she began searching for God again. She switched her major from music to religions to start her journey back to God. During her search for God, Tasha even went to Buddhist meditation camps and mosques, but found the One true God when she once again came to Jesus: “I realized in all these other religions you had to strive to pursue God; whereas, in Christianity, He is chasing after us.”

From that moment on, Tasha’s life took a rapid turn into the truth of God. She went to seminary and started leading worship again. She successfully attended American Idol, where she met the right people for musical success. She even married Grammy and Dove Award-winning producer Keith Everette Smith.

The seat of peace

This week on Maasbach Radio we have an inspiring conversation with pastor Abraham Goni Dogo from Nigeria. He talks to us about the ‘seat of peace’ that we all have in our hearts. Join us and be encouraged by this special word.

‘It takes power to look at something that was thought to overtake or destroy you and to just be sleeping. Jesus, the Prince of peace turned to the storm and said: “peace, be still”. The force of peace is stronger than the force of every storm!’

• Listen to this powerful word!

Pastor Abraham was born in a small village in Africa. When he accepted Jesus in to his life, Abraham told his father (the king of his village) that they needed to take down the shrines of aldultery. With much courage, Abraham succeeded in getting rid of all false religion in his village. Now, his village is incredibly blessed and often protected from attacks because of the favor of God. Listen to pastor Abraham’s incredible story on Maasbach Radio this weekend. He will also pray a powerful prayer for you as you tune in to The Blessing Family Music Station.

From drugs junkie to Spirit filled pastor

Pastor Jerry Mendeszoon is lead pastor at Victory Outreach church in Rotterdam. Pastor Jerry and his wife have a great desire to reach out to drug addicts and bring them to Jesus.

• Pastor Jerry on MRADIO

Born in the Caribbean, Jerry had pretty much everything a young kid desired. Still, he rebelled against authority and lost his way through alcohol, drugs, the nightlife and women. After 12 years of addiction, Jerry found himself eating out of trashbins and sleeping on the streets. He tried multiple rehabs but couldn’t break free from this bondage. Jerry started to become suicidal and found himself at the trainstation, seeing train after train rush by but he couldn’t bring himself to the point of jumping. After this heart wrenching moment, Jerry cried and prayed: “Lord, if You are alive and if You free me from this bondage, I will follow You”. After 6 months Jerry was completely clean!

God is now using pastor Jerry in the city of Rotterdam, a capital for drug addicts, to bring the hope of Jesus that once transformed his life. Together with his wife, he takes in souls that need a Savior and that want to break free from their bondage. They have successfully helped over a 1000 souls in the past 20 years. To God be the glory!

MRADIO on location

Maasbach Radio is live at the Mega Conference in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

• Pastor Joseph Okoko at the Mega Conference

The African Blessing Church is having a 3 day conference on: The Agenda of God. Mradio reporter Christy got to speak with some of the visitors and pastors at the conference. Highlight of the conference is the message brought by Dr. David Maasbach on sundayafternoon. He spoke on how nothing happens ‘just like that’. If you want your miracle, you have to put your faith into action. We see this principle throughout the whole Bible! The women with the issue of blood, the high priest Jairus, you name it – They all had to take a step of faith, perform an act of faith, to receive their miracle.

Listen to Maasbach Radio to hear more about the Mega Conference in Rotterdam.

Artist Watch: Rend Collective

Rend Collective isn’t your everyday typical Christian Pop-Rock band. They’re unique, refreshing and packed with nostalgia. With their Irish roots, Rend Collective brings catchy folk elements and blends it masterfully with the sound of contemporary Christian music. This amazing music group has recently released their newest single “Your Name is Power.”

It all started for the band in 2002, when it was established under the name of The Rend Collective Experiment at Bangor Elim Church in Northern Ireland. The total size of the group is around 15 people, but it only tours and performs with six members. The mission of the band is to spiritually encourage individuals to come back to the church, especially in these dark and hostile times.

The band released their first albums in the early ‘10s at record label Kingsway, before it was taken over by Integrity music. The band funded their albums at the time through crowdfunding on Twitter and Facebook. The band did pretty well on Christian charts at the time, but their biggest breakthrough was in 2014. The album: “The Art of Celebration,” even peaked in the US Christ Charts! Sparrow Records noticed and contracted them immediately.

This led to many more successes, including a Dove award nomination in 2018 for Worship Album of the Year. Rend Collective has now released their newest single “Your Name is Power.” This is a powerful song that was born out of the necessity to remind us of who is in control according to the band. Listen now to “Your Name is Power” at Maasbach Radio, iTunes and Spotify.

Jesus came and said: “I healed you!”

Apostle Abednego Mwarandu from Nairobi, Kenya tells us how the teaching of evangelist Johan Maasbach had a great impact on the personal life and ministry of his father: Bisshop Morris.

“From the teachings of Johan Maasbach my father’s personal life and ministry was so transformed. A man that introduced him to the personality of the Holy Spirit.It aligned his life in the right direction. He could be one of those teachers who teach funny doctrines today, but because of the teachings of Johan Maasbach, his life was aligned and I give God the glory for that”.

Artist Watch: Caleb + Kelsey

Imagine that you’re already a successful artist in the industry and you’ll find the love of your life that is also already an established vocalist. Sounds pretty sweet, right? This is exactly what happened to Caleb and Kelsey Grimm.

Even though their musical collaboration is fairly young, Caleb and Kelsey have been well-established vocalists in the Christian music industry for quite some time now. Caleb Grimm is also known as one the founding members and vocalists of the immensely popular vocal group Anthem Lights. With this group, he’s already achieved multiple top-10 chart notations in various Christian charts, along with gaining a huge global fan base.

Kelsey was mainly known as one the vocalists of the former Christian power pop rock band 1 Girl Nation. In this period of her life, she did release her music on the Reunion Records label under Sony Music. This group was also fairly successful with multiple Christian chart notations for albums like their self-titled ‘1 Girl Nation’ and ‘Unite.’

As a married couple with a professional musical background, they thought it would be fun to release covers from songs that they thoroughly enjoy. It all started on YouTube with covers of popular songs like Disney’s ‘A Whole New World’ and many more hits. It proved to be quite successful and it opened up a way for them to share their biggest passion; worship music, in a different way and to a new audience. Their 2018 debut album ‘Worship’ even ranked no. 1 on the Christian iTunes Chart. We are very excited to see what the future holds for this musical power couple.

“Three angels surrounded me in my dreams”

Pastor Cristy Tenges from Indonesia shares her incredible story on Maasbach Radio.

At a very young age, Cristy was already addicted to sigarettes and alcohol, suffered from abuse and manipulated her parents by putting a gun against her head to get what she wanted. Cristy was 10 years old when she fell through the ceiling, dropping her body on the floor 14 feet below. As she saw her family surrounding her lifeless body on the ground, trying to wake her up, Cristy had a supernatural encounter with God. In this conversation with God, Cristy promised Him 2 things and she has always kept those promises. Now Cristy travels around the world to tell everybody what God has done for her.

“She sat by my bedside all night and in my dreams it was like 3 angels were surrounding me. When I woke up I told the pastor what had happened and she started taking me to the churches to tell them about what God had done.”

Listen to the full testimony of Cristy Tenges on saturday and sunday!

Artist Watch: The Afters

Who would think that meeting each other while working together at a Starbucks coffee shop, would result in winning three Dove Awards! This is the incredible story of a group of young guys who would become the successful Christian Pop/Rock group: The Afters.

The success of The Afters didn’t come overnight. Even though all the members of the band started out as colleagues at the same Starbucks, they were already on the road as serious musicians for some time. It all started with Josh Havens and Matt Fuqua, who already performed together as The Screaming Mimes. Jordan Mohilowski and Dan Ostebo joined them later on when they started performing together at their local Starbucks. The initial name of the band was Blisse, but they changed it later to The Afters, the name under which they became well known.

From 2000 till 2001 they’d released several independent records after which they landed their first label deal at INO Records. This decision only led to more success for the band and it resulted in an even bigger label deal at Epic Records. It was under this label that their first chart notations and Dove Award nominations started with the album ‘I Wish We All Could Win.’ Many more successes followed for the band.

The Afters have now released their sixth studio album ‘Fear No More,’ and we have great expectations for this new release. The album is packed with ear-catching pop gems like ‘I Will Fear No More’ and ‘Lightning,’ which are more than radio worthy. Listen now to The Afters on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

Evangelist John T.L. Maasbach

Evangelist John TL Maasbach will easily be one of the most passionate people you will ever meet. He is the youngest son of the late evangelist Johan Maasbach and, together with his wife Godelief, he serves in the Blessing church in Vlaardingen. John T.L. and his wife lead the youth work (‘Point’) of the Johan Maasbach World Mission and he travels around the world to preach the gospel.

As the International Missions Director of the Johan Maasbach World Mission, John has traveled to over 80 countries big and small to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. ‘How come you are so passionate about the gospel?’ we asked him. It all started with a divine revelation that John had, that showed him he was just as lost and in need of a Savior as the greatest sinner. This fueled a deep love for the lost and to this day drives John TL Maasbach to leave his home and family to preach the gospel to all nations.

Listen to John this weekend on Maasbach Radio as he shares his story with you. We pray you will be encouraged!

What is the Blessing Pact?

The Blessing Pact, straight out of the principles in the Bible, is the formula through which God is able to supply you in all of your needs.

The Blessing Pact shows us how followers of Christ in the Bible were supplied in all of their needs and how God sustained them in their daily lives, because they gave God what belonged to Him. This principle is still the same for us today. God has not changed and He wants to supply in your needs and sustain you in your every day life.

Artist Watch: Andrew J. Maasbach

Sometimes you’ll hear a song that really catches the intimate atmosphere of ‘the secret place’, especially when God seems very far in your life. One of the songs that represent this very well is ‘Never be alone’ by singer/songwriter Andrew J. Maasbach.

Andrew J. Maasbach is the youngest son of evangelist John T.L. Maasbach. During his childhood, his father would travel very often to preach the gospel on the mission field across the world. This deep love for God is also present in his whole family. Even though many loving friends and family surrounded him, the feeling of being alone still captured him occasionally. However, Andrew learned one of the most beautiful lessons, which he wants to share through an intimate song.

Andrew said it beautifully in his own words, ‘I think everyone has those moments when they feel alone or left out. So, I took a part of my life where I felt these things and then knowing that we are actually not alone. It really helps more to say that I am not alone because God is with me and that’s more than enough.’

‘Never be alone’ is a catchy power pop ballad that really captivates the listener with this beautiful message. The song is a great addition to your playlist, especially when you want to reflect on God’s everlasting presence in your personal life.

Artist Watch: MAP Band

The MAP Band is back with a strong, fresh and renewed sound! The band is touring again with uptempo favorites like ‘We will go’, ‘So Happy’ and ‘Heaven’s lights’ in entirely new remixed versions. But they’re also bringing their newest songs like “180 Degrees” and “Game Changer.” Their next destination is Indonesia, where they will perform in churches and other youth events.

Micha Maasbach, front man of the MAP band, is more thrilled than ever. In the last couple of years the band has experimented with finding a new sound that could captivate new people in the church and far beyond. Their mission has always stayed the same: showing people that living with and for God is the best choice you can ever make. And it’s fun too!

Over the years, the band has released several studio singles  like “180 Degrees” and “Game Changer.” These releases showed the interesting journey in finding their renewed sound. It proved to be a successful decision because the band recently concluded a tour across Asia in exotic countries like South Korea and India. The best part was that their new sound proved to be a smash hit.

Equipping others to worship God is also very important for the band. Recently they’ve started publishing their chords and tutorials for some of their songs through social media, as they’re preparing for their next tour to kick off. The MAP Band will play in churches and conferences all over Indonesia in June. The country is familiar to the band, because they’ve toured there a few years ago, where they played at big events and churches with thousands of youth. The band still has very fond memories of Indonesia and they’re really looking forward to let them hear their new sound. As Micha Maasbach puts it: “We’re gonna sound totally different, so be ready!”

Narrated by David Maasbach from the book of Acts.

Pray for the world with us

There is great power in prayer. Prayer changes the most impossible situations. The Bible says: ‘If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer’ (Matthew 21:22 | NIV). All things are possible for those who believe! It doesn’t matter what your nationality, culture, race or denomination is. We can go to God and pray together.

Today we ask all of MRADIO listeners to join us in prayer for Christians around the world. Here are some things you can pray for:

* The church in Colombia is being persecuted by organized groups that come into the church and arrest the pastor. Pray for the servants of God that are ministering there and for the body of Christ that continues to worship Jesus.
* Pray for the underground churches in North-Korea. For God to protect our brothers and sisters and to use them mightily as they build His Kingdom while they are persecuted.
* Today, several of our sisters in the faith are again serving at the OASIS children’s day-shelter, working with children that are damaged by their home situations. Pray for the power of God’s love to flow through the workers. Also pray for provision in all of the materials and other things needed for the OASIS program to continue.

‘God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine’ – (Ephesians 3:20 | NIV).

Pastor Clay Baggett: embracing purpose

Pastor Clay Baggett is the son of the late reverend Paul Baggett. Reverend Paul was a very well known preacher in the United States and growing up, pastor Clay thought he would be doing the exact same thing as his father: preaching. However, in his youth, Clay wanted to choose his own path and left church to tour with his band. It wasn’t until the words of his father came to mind that he returned home and started walking in his purpose.

“Clay, the problem is that you’re trying to find MY Jesus. But you need to find YOUR Jesus. It’s personal”.

Pastor Antonio Fante (Italy)

Antonio Fante from Italy shares with us how God completely transformed his life, this weekend on Maasbach Radio.

As a young boy, Antonio was put in an orphanage. That’s where he came to know Jesus as his personal Savior and also made the decision to get baptized. But as Antonio grew older, he turned away from a life with Jesus and fell into a sinful existance. Then one day, a co-worker invited Antonio for a churchmeeting. As Antonio was listening to the preacher, a deep desire for God grew in his heart. He thought it was impossible to come close to God because of his many sins, but God spoke to Antonio. And from that day he was a completely changed man!

Years later, Antonio became the pastor of a church and in his heart grew another desire: to start a Bibleschool in Italy. Listen to Antonio as he tells us how the Bibleschool came about by clicking on the play button below:
