Welcome to UGA International

Welcome to a work in progress -- the best description to lend to this promising brand -- UGA International. We are so excited by all that God has in store for the organization as well as our emerging industry. This new public website is the first installment to one of many new features our members and supporters can expect from UGAI. We intend to convey a sense of novelty and uniqueness to the way we commune with our audience as well as the mainstream culture located just outside the borders not created by us. We reiterate our commitment to building the Kingdom of God, by focusing on saving the lost and renewing the faith of those in a backslidden state. We invite you to join our efforts to make God’s name great in music and entertainment, taking back territory God intended for His children to occupy and do business in until His return. We have a lot of making up for lost time to still do! Let’s be about our Father’s Business. This and our e-Newsletter (plus 9 other smaller format specific e-Newsletters focusing on all our musical formats and varied divisions) are intended to be informative, newsworthy, engaging, and valuable to you--the reader. We encourage (and actually want) your feedback and interaction. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride on the slowly progressing roller coaster we call SUCCESS!

Common-Unity Fund

Common-Unity

UGA International ‘Common-Unity’ Fund

Urban Gospel Alliance International recognizes the many needs of the Body of Christ. Therefore, we have constructed a way in which to address some of these needs within the confines of our sphere of influence.

‘Common-Unity’ is our way of exemplifying the life of Jesus Christ while simultaneously impacting the world. ‘Common-Unity’ is our unique approach to community thinking, application, and service.

UGA International understands the many plights of the Urban Gospel Industry and seeks to close the gaps that exist as barriers to our mission to spread the Gospel. ‘Common-Unity’ will receive its initial funding from 10% of all UGAI membership fees and be managed by our independent accounting firm, Alegna Financial Management. Additionally, we hope to receive funding from public donations.

The fund will primarily go to finance the structuring, planning, marketing, promotion, and advertising of some of our industries most anointed, talented, and prepared artists/ministries. Secondary to this purpose is to provide assistance to Christian related community outreach functions championed by UGAI Community Improvement Corporation (CIC, pronounced "kick").

A third, and very limited, function of this fund will go to provide temporary support to artists, ministries, or individual in need of temporary funds to provide food, basic shelter, and gasoline needs of families in dire or emergency circumstances.

The real foundational truth about 'Common-Unity' is that it is based upon a community having all things in Common and deciding to be Unified in supporting one another. Those individuals, ministries, or families in need of an application* for funds, send a request to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Please consider donating to the fund so that our community lacks no good thing.

(Spiritual Perspective In Today’s Text-ology)

As told by The ‘Un’Official Urban Gospel Chaplain-Mark Johnson.

17 “Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon. 18 Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me.” ~ Nehemiah 4:17-18
