— Gary Simonelli

ORLANDO, FL, US, March 9, 2021 – CEOCFO Magazine, an independent business and investor publication that highlights important technologies and companies, today announces the launch of contemporary Christian music group, The FaithfuLights and their music video for their first single “Lamb On The Cross” off of their debut album “Till I Met You”.

“Lamb On The Cross is a song destined to become not just a praise and worship favorite, but also a part of every churches’ playlist at Easter time,” says Co-Songwriter, Co-Producer and Engineer Gary Simonelli. Continuing Gary tells CEOCFO, “Lamb is the type of song that makes you realize that Jesus death on the cross was personal and for you.” Lyrics like, “It should have been me not Him hanging on the tree,” tells the story of a savior who paid the price for the things you have done wrong and the mistakes you personally have made.

Lamb On The Cross uniquely brings together classical music orchestration and the Soca rhythms of the Caribbean, with the soulful voice of Jaye Martinez; all in a very contemporary Christian Music setting. You will certainly want to add this to your playlists, use it at Worship Services, use it as background for your own videos and share the good news with all of your friends and family on social media.

Bride Sings To Groom While Walking Down The Isle – Very Touching

Bride Sings To Groom While Walking Down The Isle. Semaj Wilson (Bride) Serenades Husband While Singing Jennifer Hudson’s – Giving Myself!

Amazon and Tubi TV Join Fight to Reach 1 Million Addicts with New Documentary

New documentary and book, “121: Overcoming Drug Addiction by Faith”, Amazon and Tubi join in effort to help 1 million drug addicts recover.

ST. LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, March 8, 2021 – At the age of 20, Burton Barr Jr. was held down by a group of friends while they injected heroin into his veins, which started his 22-year drug addiction. At the height of his addiction and during his darkest hour, his father came to him. He didn’t start preaching at Barr, telling him that he needed to quit. He didn’t talk about the hurt and the pain that Barr was causing his family. He didn’t even tell Barr about the damage that he was doing to himself. He just opened the Bible to a certain scripture, gave it to Barr and told him to read that scripture every morning before he left home. The scripture was Psalms 121.

“I remember crawling on my knees in an alley, looking for the syringe that I had thrown out earlier. I remember at least four times, my vision going black and waking up with my friends standing over me, telling me that I’d overdosed,” says Barr.

The documentary, “121: Overcoming Drug Addiction by Faith” was initially streamed directly on www.121-movie.com but now Amazon and Tubi have joined the effort to expand distribution from national to global.

“My goal for this year is to reach one million addicts and make them aware of how it is that I was delivered from my addiction to heroin, cocaine, crack and alcohol. I want to encourage them that if I can do it, so can they. If faith could be the foundation for my recovery, it can be the foundation of theirs as well,” says Barr.

MOVIE TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F95y613shOs&feature=youtu.be

Select Excerpt from “121”
When I come up against something that seems impossible to conquer, I think about that mountain. For 22 years of my life, that mountain was my addictions: heroin, cocaine, marijuana, crack, alcohol and sex. By continuing down the trail I was on, I wasn’t quitting drugs or any one of my addictions; I was quitting on life. Psalm 121, verse one says, “I look up to the mountains — does my help come from there?” I compare my “rock bottom” to the valley low of a mountain, but instead of looking up the mountain for help, I found myself on my knees, looking down for my syringe, in an alley. This is why I stayed in my addiction for way longer than I needed to and lost way more than God ever intended for me to lose.

“121” details how Burton Barr Jr. overcame his addiction to heroin, cocaine, crack, alcohol, cigarettes and sex by learning to harness and live out the words of the 121st Psalm.

Christian Singer-Songwriter Ken Gober Seeks to Heal a Hurting Nation with Inspiring New Single

Ken Gober releases his new single, “I Will Heal,” today – a song of hope and restoration for a world that needs encouragement now more than ever.

Although life has thrown me a few curves, I remain thankful for each of my life experiences. I’m humbled by the opportunity to inspire and uplift others through music.”

— Ken Gober

NASHVILLE, TN, USA, March 5, 2021 – Contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Ken Gober has released his new single, “I Will Heal” – a song of hope and restoration for a world that needs encouragement now more than ever. The new single from his forthcoming EP is available today from 4LifeMusick Entertainment wherever digital music is sold.

Watch the “I Will Heal” Music Video: https://youtu.be/YP5poVQt-CU

Gober is known for making music that is soulful, warm, and powerful, with a sound that reflects the grit and heart of struggle and a melody filled with inspiration and hope. Born and raised in Gary, Indiana, just outside Chicago, Gober is the son of a well-known local gospel artist who exposed him to the thriving Midwest music scene that was a focal point for gospel, soul, and blues.

But at just 23, his life took a dark and dangerous turn as he found himself addicted to drugs and alcohol. The turning point came when he checked himself into a 28-day rehabilitation program which allowed God to stir his spirit. During recovery, Gober rediscovered his love for music that had been with him since childhood. Through writing and performing his own songs, he was able to reignite his inner sense of strength, hope, and optimism that had been lost.

In the years that followed, Gober focused on slowly rebuilding his life. This led him to Atlanta, Georgia in pursuit of a career in music and later to cities across the globe in Europe, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Asia as he toured with the international show band Exotique. These experiences would form the basis of his debut solo album, Soul of a Man: The Journey(2008), which serves as a gritty and emotional recounting of his trials, tribulations, and triumphs. The album gained recognition for its fresh and visceral sound, and Gober won Best New Male Gospel Artist at the 2008 Black Music Awards in Las Vegas.

Now living in Nashville, Tennessee, Gober is working on a long-awaited follow-up album, with the first single being the timely, “I Will Heal.”

“Although life has thrown me a few curves, I remain thankful for each of my life experiences,” says Gober. “I’m humbled by the opportunity to inspire and uplift others through music.”
