NASVHILLE, Tenn. (BP)--The Gospel Music Association's biggest night launched with a thumping rendition of "Lose My Soul" performed by Mandisa, TobyMac and Kirk Franklin, setting the stage to honor top Christian artists across a spectrum of musical style.
The all-star cast of singers, songwriters and producers gathered at the 38th Annual GMA Dove Awards at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tenn., April 25.
All eyes were on singer/songwriter Chris Tomlin who captured six Dove Awards, exceeding the five statues he won last year. 
"I am overwhelmed by the whole thing," said Tomlin, who deflected the praise. "I am grateful for the honors, but at the end of the day that's not what impresses God.... He must increase and I must decrease. I know this is nothing that I do; I just know that the presence and favor of God is with me."

“Billy Kim has not only walked as a giant among Baptists, but among evangelicals as well,” said Gene Mims, pastor of Judson Baptist Church, in his introduction. “He is a Christian ambassador who walks humbly with the Lord.”
The 45-voice Changwon Children’s Choir, consisting of students in grades two through seven, was organized in 1996 as one of the ministries of the Far East Broadcasting Company in Korea. The choir is under the direction of Sang Chul Lee. The children’s families paid their own way to the United States to “come and tell Americans thank you for sending missionaries to Korea,” Kim told Baptist Press.
