Produced by GRAMMY award winning producer, Bubba Smith, Journey of Joy, features the #1 Singing News hit, "Last Night". Also on the record is a song co-written by EARL GALLOWAY entitled "Whispered Prayers". This song is very unique in that on the very end, Karen asked The Galloways and some of her other friends to come into the studio and record a prayer meeting. "It is one of the most amazing things I've ever been a part of. We had revival in that studio!" states Earl Galloway. Earl continues, "Brittany says that she considers herself nominated for a GRAMMY since she helped pray on the record. She has also informed me that she will be on hand to help Karen pick out something FABULOUS to wear on the red carpet!" "We are elated and thankful to the Lord for this honor." exclaimed Karen Peck Gooch. We are living proof that even after 17 years of serving, dreams do come true and things do not happen overnight." Gooch, along with her sister Susan Peck Jackson, and Devin McGlamery make up Karen Peck & New River.

Galloways Trailer Stolen

The Galloways trailer that contained all of the supplies for Smoky Mountain Christmas, an event The Galloways and Tony Gore host, has been stolen. The Galloways trailer had been parked and left in Sevierville, TN last Sunday. Upon The Galloways return they discovered the trailer was missing. Earl says, "At first we thought Tony was playing a prank on us and had moved the trailer. But, after seeing the look on his face...I knew we had just lost everything." Tony adds, "There is just an unexplainable feeling to know that everything we have worked for the past 5 years of Smoky Mountain Christmas has been taken from us." The local police department is conducting an investigation into the theft of the double axle trailer and contents. Tony Gore and The Galloways want to announce that all Smoky Mountain Christmas shows, including a dinner for the homeless in Nashville, later this month, will go on as planned.

It was only a month ago.. that the Dixie Echoes bus was detroyed by fire.. Now another Southern Gospel artist's motor coach has sustained smoke and fire damage. The Galloways bus apparently caught fire while the group was traveling in Georgia, Sunday afternoon.

The Galloways' office manager, Suzanne Graham, told our reporter that the group had contacted her, by cell phone,.. about the fire. She says: "I received a phone call from a frantic Earl Galloway,.. he was letting me know that smoke was billowing out from underneath their bus! After using a fire extinguisher, Earl felt he had the fire under control and didn't need to contact the fire department." Earl said that everyone got off the bus in time,.. and it appears that, other than some smoke,.. the fire did not damage the upper part of the bus.

It's believed that the blaze started in the lower compartment of the vehicle.. and may have originated in the coach's generator. At last report.. Earl says they may have also suffered some equipment and product loss.

The Bridge featured on The Gospel Greats
The Bridge was featured on the Nationally Syndicated Radio Show Paul Heil's Gospel Greats. Here is an excerpt from the shows website. "Scharlene Galloway's comments on the program's second hour about "The Bridge" ministry in Nashville really caught my attention. As you heard, this is an actual church that meet Tuesday evenings under the Jefferson Street Bridge in Nashville, operated by "a faith based, multi-denominational band of dedicated volunteers." Candy Hemphill Christmas started this after noticing homeless people gathering there. Now hundreds come out every Tuesday evening to be fed (both body and soul) and clothed. There's so much more to Scharlene's telling of the story -- much more than I could fit on the program -- that I decided to do something unusual. You can listen to Scharlene's entire description of The Bridge Ministry online. There's a lot more information about this available on the ministry's own website www.thebridgeministryinc.com You'll see some amazing photos there. Earl Galloway says a lot of people have been asking how to contribute to this ministry. He says tax-deductible donations can be mailed to The Bridge P.O. Box 110230, Nashville, TN 37222." To hear the actual interview you can visit www.thegospelgreats.com/current.htm Scroll down until it talks about The Bridge and it will direct you from there.
