Talent Search 2008!
The Singing Competition with a Higher Purpose
Phase 1 Entry Deadline:  April 1, 2008


This is the seventh year that we turn on our television to watch the largest singing competition ever. More than 100,000 singers gather in hopes of stardom, fame, and the opportunity to perform in front of the largest audiences in the country. However, there is a singing competition that is for those with a much higher purpose in mind. If you want to expand your local singing ministry to a global audience, and desire to use your talents to help spread a message of hope and the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ to the world, then this is for you!
