They travel extensively with a message that crosses cultural, generational, and denominational boundaries.

Known specifically for their diverse sound effectively captured on the 2001 Hosanna! Integrity release of New Season as well as 2002's Lakewood Live 'We Speak to Nations', their heart is to deliberately diminish the lines that separate the Church, and bring all people together through worship.

With a heart for the Nations, true worship, and a passion for the Presence of God, Israel and New Breed add purpose to any event.

Powerful Ministry | Reviewer: Victor Wilson | 2/23/12

I’ve never been to an Israel concert but I’m blessed by every song that he has done.
What a powerful ministry, I can’t speak for the next person but I do feel the presence of the Holy Spirit when I listen to his ministry (Music).
In JAMAICA we love Israel and New Breed's ministry

Need help finding an older album | Reviewer: RLB | 7/9/10

I LOVE the worship, music, and anointing that Bro. Houghton has brought us! Each and every work has blessed me. HOWEVER, I have a copy of an early work that I cannot find ANYWHERE! It's an old cassette with "Israel and the Voice" written on it. I can tell it's Israel Houghton. He sings, He Is Wonderful, Hallelujah For The Lord Our God, the Almight Reigns (Idk the exact song title). Does this sound familiar to ANYONE??? Please help! I'd love to purchase an original copy!!!

It was an opportunity of a lifetime seeing you live.

Invitation | Reviewer: Peter Moyo | 10/20/09

Israel, my brother in the lord, I am about to say something that even my mind is telling me is impossible, but whats faith then!. We are so blessed to have you in our generation as a worship leader/musician.Knowing definitely that a man of your calibre will have lots of Invitations all over the world, but something in me tells me, 'he is your brother, you can talk to him.' Im so blessed by so many of your songs, 'arise, Im not ashamed'being top on the list, just to mension a few, I just wish my God whom I serve, could reveal my heart to you if this email reaches you. I am a Zimbabwean by birth but now a british citizen being here in Leicester from 2001. Our church is called Harvest City Church (can check us on the website) We annually hold(October) what we have titled 'Out Of Africa' and this is basically a gospel outreach evening of drama, music, preaching, food and dance.(Where we show the 'African talent', if you like, as we are 15 different nationalities in the church)We have the Lord Mayor of Leicester and some councillors and ambassadors, reporters from BBC radio Leicester attending. So far the biggest number of people we have had attend is 500 but I am looking into raising this to another level as our venue (Leicester Exhibition Centre) can hold up to 900 people. It wont be just Harvest City church but a privilage for our City of Leicester to host such blessed musicians like you. I was wondering if you could sing for us in October 2010, what a joy this could be to the church of God as a whole. We could look into all the costs ofcause that is involved with this. A response from you would be greatly appreciated.

In faith, Peter(07816136998).
