Elder Randall Ogans Sr. - What A Friend

Elder Randall Ogans Sr. - What A Friend 

Elder Randall Ogans Sr. is no stranger to the gospel music industry. Born in the San Francisco Bay Area, the 6th of 9 children, he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior at the age of seven, and has continuously been active in the Church in a multiplicity of capacities ever since, never leaving.  His parents never failed to take him to the House of Prayer.  

 At the age of 10 he began studying and playing the piano and the Hammond B-3 organ. At the age of 13, he began playing for choirs throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.  He was trained in classical music, but was gifted to play gospel music, and to share the Word of God thru speaking, preaching, and through his music.  

Elder Randall Ogans Sr. is married to Elder DeBorrah K. Ogans. Both are ordained ministers. In 1995 they founded Alpha 7 Ministries and were the Executive Producers of several gospel artists, including:

                     Debra Henderson
                     Brenda Lowe
                     Jus-B-Cuz
                     The Sons of the Soul Revivers
                     Pastor Fleetwood Irving

Having been fortunate enough to travel and tour Europe, he has experienced the freedom in Christ, and realization that “the earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” Psalm 24. His travels have taken him to Greece where he has climbed Mars Hill, spoken of in the book of Acts. This is where the apostle Paul said “It is in Him that we live, move, and have our being”. 

He has also traveled to France, Spain, Italy, England, Turkey (Ephesus), and Switzerland where he has ministered in song at some of the largest cathedrals in that country.  

Being able to engage with a diversity of people, cultures, and ages all over the world provided him with a global perspective of God’s true universal Church, better understanding the opportunity, privilege, and calling to minister to all people. 

In March, 2020 he released his first single,  an inspirational message put to song entittled  “We Need To Pray”.  

On the heels of this release is  his instrumental Christian/Gospel CD entitled “What A Friend”, released in June  2020.  Elder Randall Ogans Sr. and his son Dorian L. Ogans, both playing piano and organ, provide unique arrangements of some familiar and original  compositions that will speak to you in the universal language we call “music”.  This CD will calm the agitations of the soul, and will set an atmosphere for spiritual reflection, prayer, and studying the Word.  Instrumental music advances worship when the listener is able to recall sacred lyrics in their mind, as the songs are being played. 

Each song on this CD has a message that will speak to your soul. With guitar, strings, and horn arrangements, it will help make your life a symphony, with God as the conductor. 

Elder Randall Ogans Sr.'s favorite scripture is:  
 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”  Colossians 3:16
This scripture provides the context for what he focuses on when ministering in song on his "What A Friend" CD, and all subsequent CD's that will be produced over the coming years.

To God Be the Glory!
