Gospel artist Kevin Levar weds

Gospel recording artist Kevin LeVar married his longtime manager Shondale Bostick, of God Glorified Music Inc last Friday.

The wedding ceremony, held at The Strathmore Music Center in North Bethesda, Maryland, was co-officiated by the fathers of the bride and the groom, both of whom are pastors.

The evening was billed as a “Wedding Night of Worship”, complete with performances by fellow gospel artists Brian Courtney Wilson, Lowell Pye and Chante Moore. LeVar, who wrote a special song for his bride’s walk down the aisle, performed as well.

“We wanted our wedding to be a shared event where all could come and celebrate what God has done in our lives,” says LeVar.

“We also desired for people to be able to experience the power of true love in the presence of God and perhaps be encouraged by it, be healed by it and be strengthened by it.”

Habakkuk Music and Universal Music Christian Group released LeVar’s latest album, Let’s Come Together (Deluxe Edition), in October, featuring four new songs plus a bonus DVD filled with extra content.

The powerful message behind his latest single "A Heart That Forgives," which shot to #1 on Gospel Music Channel, has started a movement to inspire one million acts of forgiveness.

The Forgive & Live Campaign kicks off in 2011 with the goal of restoring families, repairing friendships, strengthening communities and empowering people through the simple act of forgiveness.
