By JEFFARAH GIBSON Tribune Features Writer jgibson@tribunemedia.net

INTERNATIONAL Christian hip hop and R&B singer V Rose, considered to be one of the leading female artists in her genre, will share the stage with a host of Bahamian acts featured in this year’s Youth Alive series of events.

Those who may be feeling lost during this time are encouraged to attend the three-night event which aims to bring hope and inspiration to all.

Presented by the Emerge Youth Church, the youth arm of Bahamas Faith Ministries, the talks and concerts are scheduled for July 22-24.

Dr E Corey Rolle, better known as DJ Counsellor, and the Emerge Youth Church team have been planning this event since last November. It is being held under the theme “The Awakening: The Truth Exposed” and will take place at the Myles Munroe Diplomat Centre.

“We find it that a lot of persons live in a false reality as it pertains to life and we tend to try to fit God into our lives, when we should be trying to adjust and lining up our lives to God’s standards. The word says clearly Christ Jesus said: ‘Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free’,” said Dr Rolle.

The event will feature speakers and performances by a number of gospel musicians, including Karrington McKenzie, A’lethia, Solo, V-Mac, Najie Dun, DJ Godson and more. Doors open at 6.30pm.

The event will also be aired on the Caribbean network Tempo and streamed on the church’s Facebook page.

Speakers for this year are Pastor Rosemary Bethel from Epic Church and Dr E Corey Rolle. V Rose is an American Christian electronic dance music/Christian hip hop artist

The international guest artist, and the R&B and pop singer V Rose, is one of the top female artists in Christian hip hop. The singer from Sacramento, California began her career at age 15 as part of a vocal group. When the group parted ways, V Rose set out to create her own brand of pop and electronic dance music. Backed by her producer, DJ SPEC, she came up through the Christian hip hop scene as a feature vocalist on multiple “Flame tracks” and released two albums to critical acclaim. In 2015, V Rose signed with Inpop Records and is currently at work on a new album slated to be released this Fall.

V Rose’s performance, as well as those of the others artists, will be something to look forward to, said Dr Rolle.

“Our speakers, artists, and the approach to the theme...every year our goal is the understand the battle field you are heading to, and to feel the pulse of this generation as it pertains to strong holds and challenges,” he said.

“True change comes from repentance, which means a change of heart. Our goal is to bring truth to darkness. Like a farmer plants his seeds, then another waters them, our hope is all will get to know Jesus and not just to associate with him, but understand Christ truly desires us to be followers.”

People attending the event are asked to bring canned foods or monetary donations to assist those who have fallen on hard times because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
