PraiseVoice Network

There has been  recent overall revamping of PraiseVoice services. The response has been tremendous mixed with some uncertainity about the overwhelming changes. I understand and I am writing today to clarify a few things.

First of all, praisevoice.com  has been revamped to provide a better user experience and enhance interactivity between users and management. The main idea is to build a virtual family around “world gospel Music”. In this post I will cover a few davantages of using praisevoice services.

1. Meet other Gospel enthusiasts
   If you hav e visited praisevoice recently (or ishimwe.com  for that matter) you probably realized that you can now connect with other people who share the same passion with you about gospel music, especially from Africa.
2. A good opportunity to promote your services for free.
   This may sound cliché, but it shouldn’t. We all would like to let the world know more about what do in a way or another. For instance, if it’s a choir based in Gitarama – Rwanda for instance, it wouldn’t hurt to let those in Canada what you’ve been up to. Would it? So, why not start a group. It is free and you have total control over what can be done in that group such us who can join, what  kind of forums to have and so on. This is a good opportunity to let the world know about yourself and what you do. PraiseVoice is crawled by Google on average every 8 hours. This means you can undoubtedly be sure that not only will your content be shared and propagated throughout the net fast, it is done in a way to make it unique!
3. A good opportunity to help
   I might have started PraiseVoice and ishimwe, but I am not alone in this ministry. I don’t mind input from others. Once you log in your account you have a chance to share what you think about PraiseVoice and what you would like to see changed. This helps not only you, but also everyone else  ina way or another. So, please do log in ! For instance, how do you see praiseVoice radio? What would you like to see changed?

While the management is doing all possible to make PraiseVoice a more user friendly and interesting baord, you have a say in it too. So, speak up and let the world know you were here!

This is one of the many questions we have been receiving from various visitors of PraiseVoice.com and partner ishimwe.com . This is a legitimate question, especially considering the recent revamp of the site from a regular blog to a fully  functional social network. To answer to properly, we have to go back to the original vision of PraiseVoice.com in the first place.

Back in 2005, when I created PraiseVoice, I was hoping to bring together all those “world gospel Music enthusiasts” to a common ground where we can share the music and other ideas. For instance, a place where artists meet listeners. The recent changes at PraiseVoice aimed at making it and ishimwe.com a more “socially involved” community. The idea was to make the PraiseVoice community that has been growing remarkably over the past years, interact more.

In the past few weeks the response has been positive with more participation both from the administration of the site and the general Public. For instance, in the last three weeks the amount of data shared between users is more than double the amount shared on the entire site in the entire month of May! !!

In the end the change was necessary and it has proved worth it so far!

PraiseVoice gives you the opportunity to connect with other people, of the same interest. However, due to the nature of network communication, you need to be in mutual agreement with the person. To do that, it’s simple. Go to the members list page and select the person you would like to be friends with. Click on “Add friend +“. A friend request will be sent and once they approve your connection, talala . .!

Praisevoice has not stopped broadcasting! For security reasons, it is necessary to change once in a while the structure of broadcasting, but the broadcasting files are the same. You can visit praisevoice Radio and follow the links there as given. No shortcuts!

PraiseVoice has changed recently as you have realized probably. It moved from regular blog to being a fully integrated network that allows our visitors to connect with each other, interact and share intersting stories, documents, photos, videos and more. The main reason is to allow people to connect more.

PraiseVoice is run entirely from a small fund by Janvier Manishimwe, founder and manager of PraiseVoice. As the website grows, responsibilities and requirements to maintain this interesting work increase as well. Any donation is used entirely towards keeping the flow of the Gospel tunes from PraiseVoice. Any amount is appreciated and if you cannot donate, that’s ok too! Just keep this ministry in your prayers as well.

For any donation PraiseVoice issues an invoice by email or by post if you request one. For any Donations of $25 or more, we send you an appreciation CD with a selection of songs that have made the top list at PraiseVoice over the past few years.

To learn more about this donation program, you can request more information if need be.
