Candy Hemphill Christmas: The Gaither Singer Who Became a Preacher to the Poor

From gospel royalty to street ministry, Candy Hemphill Christmas has lived a life of worship, obedience, and radical compassion. Born in 1961 to Joel and LaBreeska Hemphill, Candy was raised in the heart of Southern Gospel music, performing with The Hemphills from the age of 13 and later becoming a beloved voice in the Gaither Homecoming series. But behind the songs was a deeper calling. In this video, we explore Candy’s inspiring journey, from the bright lights of the stage to the streets of Nashville, where she founded The Bridge, Inc., a ministry that now serves thousands of homeless and underprivileged people. Today, she’s not only a singer, but also a preacher, leader, and servant of Christ, preaching hope, feeding the hungry, and lifting the broken. Discover how God retooled her life after a seven-year hiatus from music and how her ministry is still changing lives, one meal, one message, and one soul at a time. 📌 In this video: Candy’s early life and gospel music legacy Her career with The Hemphills and Gaither Homecoming The founding and growth of The Bridge ministry Her role as a preacher and spiritual leader Family legacy and her daughter Jasmine Christmas Brady’s worship ministry ❤️ If Candy’s story inspired you, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe. ✍️ Share your favorite memory of Candy’s music or ministry below! #CandyHemphillChristmas #GaitherHomecoming #SouthernGospel #TheBridgeMinistry #GospelMusic #ChristianTestimony #GospelLegends #WorshipAndService ▪️Instagram:   / goodgospelchannel_12
