Enter the “Pillow Could Speak” Challenge for $25,000 and go to Saiku’s Album Launch on May 20, 2017

Guyanese Gospel singer Saiku will be launching his album on May 20, 2017. Leading up to the launch of his album is the “Pillow Could Speak” challenge which is based on his hit song. Everyone is being invited to enter the challenge which is to upload a 2 minutes video of them singing the song. They can also do a combination of singing and dancing. The video is to be uploaded to every social media site you are on and your friends and Saiku (Franklin Andrews) must be tagged in the video. $25,000 will be given to the person that sings the song the best, and $25,000 will be given to the person with the 2nd place video. In addition, the winner will perform with Saiku and Jamaican Gospel artiste, Prodigal Son, at the concert for the album launch.

The song “Pillow Could Speak” featuring Prodigal Son is a great song: great music, great quality, and great content. In relation to its content, it is a song that everyone can identify with. It reveals the emotional pain we feel that we try to hide from others. However, God knows what we go through, cares about how we feel, and helps us to overcome through Jesus, the Son of God. This song encourages us to cast our burdens on Jesus who cares for us.

Congratulations to Samuel Medas who is the first Guyanese to receive a Caribbean Gospel Music Marlin Award.

Me & the Anointed Award Winning 

Gospel Artiste, Samuel Medas 

I have been listening to Samuel Medas’ music, which is inspired by God and of great quality, since I heard the song “Anything too hard,” in 2014. That is one of his songs on his inspiring 2014 album entitled, “This peculiar Journey.” This album was a tremendous blessing to me while I studied at the United Theological College of the West Indies (UTCWI) in Kingston, Jamaica. Medas’ music is one of the means through which God helped me to successfully achieve a 4 year Masters’ degree in 3 years and 5 awards including the "Student of the Year" (2016) Award. He is one of two Gospel artistes whose music I listened to frequently throughout that journey. I would often leave his music to play while I slept (a good practice for believers in Christ to engage in).

Moreover, I promoted Medas’ songs while I studied and engaged in pastoral ministry in Jamaica. I sang his song “The Truth” at two events including the Stokes Hall Circuit of Baptist Churches’ annual concert which was held at Moses Baker Baptist Church in Duckenfield, St. Thomas in 2015. Thanks to Sis. Kelly-Rae Wright of that church who is a Jamaican that took on the challenge of doing backup singing for me in Guyanese Creole. I am also grateful to Joniel Powell, Tara Johnson and Noelissa Spencer who also sang backup for me at the UTCWI Baptist Social. The fact that Medas’ videos provide the lyrics to his songs makes it easy for people to sing along.

In addition, I utilized Medas’ song in my Final Service at the UTCWI chapel on October 7, 2015. Thanks again to Joniel Powell and Tara Johnson who danced to Medas’ song “In my day” which featured Apostle Claude Brooks. When I sent the video of the dance in a Face Book message to Bro. Medas on April 24, 2016, he responded the next day by saying “this is beautiful.” Indeed, it was a beautiful dance to a profound song. It tied in wonderfully with my church service which was dedicated entirely to combating the modern day slavery known as Human Trafficking.

I pray that God will continue to bless Mr. Samuel Medas and all Guyanese Gospel singers who are glorifying God while making Guyana proud.
