PraiseVoice Network

I know I haven’t been around to write much on PraiseVoice recently. It is always hard to give one’s reasons, but that is not  the point of the post either. I simply want to let all PraiseVoice community users  that I was busy making some interesting applications that would hopefully make our services even better. Below is a nutshell of what is in stock for PraiseVoice.

1. As of Novermber 1st 2009, the PraiseVoice shop will be back.

   It has been almost 8 months since we put it down. The reasons behind that restructure was that we needed to make a shopping cart that’s much better than it was better and tailored at enhancing the relations between customers, PraiseVoice administration and musicians. With the new cart, users will not only be able to shop quickly online, they will be able to track their orders as they are shipped. This will reduce the havoc on shipping and delivery issues.

2. What about sending card and greetings to friends/family?

   Well, November 1st is the day.  In the past we had the ability to share music with friends and family using the greetings service of PraiseVoice and ishimwe.com  The new service will only allow you to send greetings and music to friends and family for free, you will also be able to share them on social networks such as facebook ! What about that?
   Rendez-vous:  November 1st !

3. PraiseVoice Radio integration

   Ok.. Listening to the Radio is great. I know you love it because statistics show me that PraiseVoice Radio is more popular than ever with more visitors coming from well over 80 countries around the world. Better yet to come, is that we are launching a podcasting service in English, French and  Kinyarwanda (ishimwe.com ). What about that? You will be able to see the songs that are playing and some information associated with them. You will also be able to to comment on the song, write a review and much more. Could it be any more fun to tune into PraiseVoice?

This notice it to let you all know that this new service will start with an addition to the PraiseVoice staff. As of November 1st 2009, you will see two new people added at the PraiseVoice staff in our Sherbrooke office and two coordinators in Rwanda, one in France, one in UK, and one in Australia. We will publish the names and their responsibility on November 1st!

We appreciate your prayers and encouragements to share the Gospel through music.

It’s always a pleasure to hear from our visitors about the various services of PraiseVoice. In this section, please let us know about what you think about PraiseVoice services. The Live Radio!

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 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.
