 Israel
Haughton a winner at the highly acclaimed “20th Annual
Stellar Gospel Music Awards,” received two awards in the categories
of:
§
Male Vocalist of the Year; and
§
CD of the Year.
Internationally recognized
worship leader, recording artist, songwriter, and producer, ISRAEL
brings to the body of Christ a unique gift to transform the heartfelt
passion of the believer into authentic, cutting-edge expressions of praise
and worship. Since launching into full-time worship ministry in
1989, Israel has delivered a message that demolishes cultural and denominational
barriers across this nation, and around the world. He has worked with
ministries such as Fred Hammond and RFC, the Young Messiah Tour, TBN,
Crystal Lewis, Anointed, CeCe Winans, Donnie McClurkin, Yolanda Adams,
Cindy Cruse-Ratcliff at Lakewood Church, as well as Champions for Christ—a
high impact ministry to college and professional athletes with Pastor
Greg Ball.
ISRAEL and his beautiful wife, Meleasa,
founded New Breed Ministries in 1995, a dynamic worship ministry
comprised of world-class musicians and singers who actively minister in
their respective churches, while traveling extensively on a weekly basis.
New Breed’s passion is to blur the lines of church factions,
bringing all people together in unity through worship. Their renowned,
diverse sound is effectively captured on the 2001 release of Hosanna Integrity’s
“New Season” album, as well as the 2002 release of “Lakewood
Live-We Speak to Nations.”
In addition to his intense touring and producing schedule, ISRAEL
leads worship regularly at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, where Joel
Osteen is Pastor.
Israel and Meleasa,
his wife of 10 years, presently reside in Houston, Texas where they are
raising the three greatest joys of their lives, Mariah Engelique, Israel
Duncan II, and Milan Lilly.
