Brandan Bustamante – Thursday Night
With a desire to see today’s church worship God in spirit and truth, Brandan Bustamante has emerged as a new voice in the ever-changing world of worship music. A heart for uniting believers drives the band’s fresh sound and has served as a foundation for the development of their unique prayer ministry “Empire’s Rise.” Their newest recording “The Dawn,” produced by the Kurnoll (Deyo, Alabaster Box), has seen tremendous success on an international level. Brandan and the band pray consistently for a revival of prayer among the generations.
