Praise With Steel is a Gospel steel band based in the UK whose music is described as “the sound of Gospel music infused with the Caribbean”. The ministry of Praise With Steel supports the vision of the group’s local church whose mission statement is based on what their Minister calls the R O C K principle, an acronym for Reaching, Ordering, Commissioning and Keeping. In taking praise and worship to a diversity of places, Praise With Steel has taken the ‘R’ and the ‘K’, representing the beginning and the end of this principle, and has integrated it into their work.
“We have the opportunity to speak to unsaved people before we minister and through our praise ministry we hope for non believers to get excited about praising God too. And so, we are actively Reaching people. Through our efforts under God and with support from various churches, we, meaning YOU and Praise With Steel, will, through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ keep these people.”
Praise With Steel has gone on several occasions to a number of prisons to take part in services, which allows each and everyone to experience Praise and worship in a very special way. “We know God is using us to bless others and we give God the glory for this. Praise does not belong to PWS, for all praise belongs to God, we are merely His servants on The Kingdom Agenda.”
The group has released on CD to date entitled Thou Art My Rock.
