“SRT Entertainment is honored to be the home for the Japan Mass Choir throughout the world. We truly believe that this project “Powerful – Living In His Body As One” is a rare opportunity to present Gospel music in a unique way, showing its diversity and influence around the globe. Its rise into the Top 3 of the Billboard Top Albums chart is a testament that the American Gospel / Christian music purchaser has overwhelmingly embraced the ministry of the Japan Mass Choir and the message in the music covers any cultural divide.” Said D.A.

Edwards has partnered with Japanese Gospel entrepreneur Jenna, who runs the largest Gospel music school franchise in Japan with approximately 2000 members nationwide.

“I started my Gospel Music journey here in Japan using music to encourage people who were impacted by the 2011 Tsunami,” says Edwards, “and through our charity Believers Today, we would visit the devastated areas like Tohoku Ishinomaki and encourage them with songs.”

Powerful explains the message taken from 1Corinthians 1:12 and the rich cutting edge sound of the music. Feel like you need a little Power in your life, here’s where you get it. The CD is available through all the usual digital media outlets as well as the Believers Today and Japan Mass Choir websites.
