We’re not an event, we’re a gathering.

We don’t exalt anyone but Him.

We seek to unite, encourage, and above all, pray for our fellow ministers.

We celebrate the song and keep the spotlight on the message.

It is with a clarity of vision that we announce there will be no Branson Gospel Music Revival this year.

Each of the last three years has been overwhelmingly special. Most recently, our 2011 revival, which saw us at Tri Lakes Center, was a wonderful turnout in terms of spiritual content and results. But we also saw the effects of the economic struggle, and we have no reason to believe 2012 would be any different.

There are a lot of successful events, festivals, and conventions in gospel music. It was always our hope to do something different while showcasing ministry on stage and fellowship off stage. We believe this goal was accomplished.

Personally, we have people in our lives now who have become friends, family, and business associates that we would not have known if not for BGMR, and we know the same can be said for many of the artists who participated.

Feedback over this past year was that artists wanted more time for fellowship, prayer, and networking, as well as intentional times of learning. As we set about planning our 2012 event, we did our best to include these aspects and remove the exhausting, convention-y parts of the revival. We are in the planning stages of something new in this vein and will keep you all on our mailing list. Thank you for your faithful support, enthusiasm, and prayers over these last three years. Thank you to our family, our board, and our advisers for tireless work, shared wisdom, and faithful friendship to us.

We pray God continues to bless each of your in your service.
