A minister,
first.

The songs are one expression of a single calling — to preach Christ, to lead people into God’s presence, and to carry the gospel from Jamaica to the nations.

“Christ must increase, but I must decrease.”John 3:30

The call came
in the quiet.

A yes given in obscurity, long before anyone was listening. The assignment was never applause — it was obedience.

Not a set.
A word.

Kevin has ministered to tens of thousands — including at the Glory Dome in Abuja, Nigeria, at the invitation of Dr. Paul Enenche — not to perform a set, but to preach Christ and to pray. The assignment is simple. Preach Christ, pray, worship, and leave the room changed.

Watch a moment of ministry

From Jamaica
to the nations.

The assignment does not stay in one place. It has been carried across the Caribbean, North America, Africa, the UK and Europe — the same gospel, in every room.

The anointing
is for people.

Not crowds — people. He leaves the platform to reach them, one by one.

The work continues
off the platform.

Ministry has never been only a microphone. Through the Realignment Initiative, Kevin and his wife Marsha have cared for and mentored vulnerable children since 2017 — because anointing without compassion is incomplete.

As founder of Downswell Records, he pours into the next generation of Gospel voices with the same intentionality that shaped his own beginning.

And across his books — including the devotional “Midnight to Victory” — the same message meets people in the ordinary places of their lives.

Honoured. Still sent.

Jamaica named Kevin to the Order of Distinction, and a New York seminary conferred a doctorate in sacred music. He is grateful for both. Neither one changed the assignment.

Bring the encounter
to your church.

Churches, conferences, festivals and broadcast teams — this is where the conversation starts.
