THE MONTHLY GLEANER | OCTOBER 5 - NOVEMBER 4, 2023 | www.jamaica-gleaner.com | NEWS 10 Aubrey Campbell/Gleaner Writer NEW YORK, NY: ON DECEMBER 9, Pastor Judith A. Gayle takes her Miracle World Outreach Ministries to a new level and is inviting everyone to come along for the ride and all the pomp and praise that will make the event a memorable one to close out the year! It’s an all-in-one event that will showcase one of, if not the most versatile performer in gospel music, at present! A multi, award-winning evangelist from Clarendon, Jamaica, Gayle has used the gospel music platform to transform her life and the lives of countless others, to a worldwide outreach ministry and a foundation benefiting her homeland. The December 9, gala event at the popular Astoria World Manor in Astoria, NY (Queens), dubbed, How Excellent, will double as the global launch of her eighth studio album - of the same name – and a birthday celebration, worthy of your blessings. When pressed, she would only say that she is leaving patrons and parishioners to continue to guess that number – her age – for the time being. “Looking ahead to next year, I thought this would be an encouraging way to offer thanks and blessings for all that we have accomplished while praying for more blessings, as we continue to do God’s work,” offered Pastor Gayle, as she takes what appears to be a nervous glance at her daily schedule. When she is not ministering with music to a congregation, this proud country girl enjoys cooking, writing, fashion designing and community outreach through a feeding programme or counselling. To say her church community loves her, may be an understatement as she is always ‘doing something’for someone else, which explains why her church community in the Jamaica township, is considered the fastest growing in the borough of Queens, the most ethnically-diverse section of New York City. Celebrating alongside Pastor Gayle will be some of the best-known gospel artistes including; Dr KJ, Jabez and DJ Nicholas with Liz Black – WBLS Radio, serving as mistress of ceremonies for the evening. The treat and the offerings are decidedly holiday flavoured. There is praise and worship, album give-away, a fashion show – with prizes for the best dressed male and female patron, topped off with a five-course dinner, all starting at 6.00 pm. Earlybird tickets may be purchased online at;www.eventbrite.com/e/ how-excellent-tickets-677849043737 Judith Gayle launches eighth studio album – December 9 event to double as birthday celebration, praise fest COVER GIRL. Patrons attending the event will take home a copy of the new album ‘How Excellent’, by Pastor Judith Gayle. CONTRIBUTED
