In just one year since its launch, Urban Praise, Moody Radio's newest Internet station, has reached the one million listening hours mark. Its impressive annual growth of 362 percent makes it the fastest growing of Moody Radio's 19 Internet stations.

"We are deeply encouraged by the growth of Urban Praise and the impact it is having around the world for Christ," said Collin Lambert, vice president of Moody Radio. "Moody's vision is to innovate and harness new technology to bring God's Word across the globe, cultures and generations, and this is exactly what Urban Praise is doing for urban audiences."

From 42 countries including those as distant and dissimilar as South Africa, Finland and Afghanistan, listeners have tuned in to the Urban Praise Internet stream more than 3,250,000 times in the last year.

Featuring artists such as Israel Houghton, Walter Hawkins, Kirk Franklin, Mary and Mary, Lecrae, Cece Winans and Marvin Sapp, Urban Praise's soulful blend of music exalts Christ and encourages the believer.
