Quick hits from the 2012 Dove Awards.
Former mainstream rapper Montell Jordan was a presenter at the 2012 Dove Awards in Atlanta on Thursday, April 19. While backstage at the GMA awards Jordan, who is known for the popular “This is How We Do It,” chatted about becoming involved in the Christian music world.
“I get asked that a lot,” Jordan said. “But I quit the music business and I became a minister.”
Victory World Church is a multicultural church in Norcross, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta, that Jordan helped start. Last year, Jordan recorded “Shake Heaven” with with Beckah Shae.
“I bring different cultures together. Different genres. We are opening the world up to all styles of music,” Jordan said. “There’s not a white Jesus, a black Jesus, an Asian Jesus. We all come together, and when we do we become closer to what heaven really looks like.”
