A unique venue for poetry, spoken word and other arts opens in Atlanta. Open Mic will be held on the first Friday of every month from 7pm to 9pm.
November 16, 2006 (Press Release) --
Metro Atlanta - The Voices of Christ Prophetic Poetry Team (VOC) announced today the launch of its Christian centered open mic poetry and spoken word ministry, SPOKEN Live! in partnership OMI Judeo Christian Bookstore and The Praise House, a global gospel internet radio station, on Friday, December 1, 2006 in Lithonia, Georgia.
SPOKEN Live! is the spinoff of the Christian poetry and spoken word radio broadcast, SPOKEN: In Praise, Poetry & Spoken Word, which airs on Thursday evenings at 9PM EST world-wide on The Praise House (www.thepraisehouse.com). The broadcast features interviews with poets, spoken word artists, playwrights, publishers, ministers of dance and music, and other worship arts leaders from around from around the world.
“SPOKEN Live! provides an outlet for these worship arts ministers – particularly poets and spoken word artists – to share their gifts in an environment that embraces the ministry of Jesus Christ,” said VOC President Theresa Harvard Johnson. “Some Christian poetry spots cater to the secular world and center its activities on drawing that secular world into the venue. Our focus is on creating an atmosphere that focuses on Jesus and the ministry of the gospel through the scribal anointing.
“By doing so, the ministers are cultivated in an environment saturated with freedom, and the guests can receive whatever they need from God through pure ministry – including prayer or salvation. We are not ashamed of the gospel! You will have fun … yes, but you won’t leave here the same way you came.”
It is not the norm, she said, but it is the way God is leading VOC to reclaim his gifts and his people.
SPOKEN Live! will be recorded for broadcasting onsite, and then aired on the fourth Thursday of every month on The Praise House. Poets, spoken word artists, musicians, psalmists, and other worship artists of all ages and denominations are encouraged to participate. Opportunities will be available to promote books, poetry, paintings, crafts or music CDs not only at the open mic, but in conjunction with the Voices of Christ, OMI Judeo Christian Bookstore, and The Praise House. For more on promotional opportunities, please contact VOC in advance.
SPOKEN Live! will be held on the first Friday of every month beginning Friday, Dec. 1, 2006 at OMI Judeo Christian Bookstore, 7173 Covington Highway, Ste 11 in Lithonia, Georgia. For more information visit www.voicesofchrist.org, email information@voicesofchrist.org or call 770.507.3225.
