During a press conference for the release of Lakewood Music Español's new album, set for Feb. 28, musicians Danilo Montero, Ingrid Rosario, Ramiro García, and Jafet Lora shared insights into the creative process behind the project. A central theme emerged throughout the discussion: the hope conveyed through the songs and their impact on listeners, integrating them into personal worship.
Danilo Montero explained that these compositions originated within the music ministry of Lakewood Church. “About a year and a half ago, the Lord placed these songs in the hearts of Lakewood’s American worship musicians. They carry a profoundly deep message of hope for people today—without knowing that immigrants in this country would be experiencing so much anxiety, fear, and hardship, like many of our brothers and sisters are going through now,” he said.
For Montero, this is not a mere coincidence but a divine act. “I believe this is a miracle. It is a gift from the Lord for Latin America—specifically for Hispanics in the United States—and it should remind us that the Lord has everything under His control,” he said.
The message of hope and strength in difficult times remained a constant in his words. “That’s right. The message is that we are going to be fine, that God will keep us, and that the Lord will guide us exactly where we need to be. Nothing is beyond His hands.”
To close the conference, Montero offered a prayer filled with faith and trust in God, saying, “I pray that You embrace, uplift, encourage, and strengthen my brothers in Latin America. May You use this music to bring them back to a place of peace. I pray for my brothers, particularly my Hispanic brothers here in the United States. Lord, may they remember that You are the Lord of their times, of their lives. That You, who hold history in Your hands, have a purpose amid all that is happening. Guide us, Your children, to Your perfect will, Lord. And there, we will be safe, firmly planted, doing Your will.”
The release of Lakewood Music Español's new album promises to deliver a strong message of encouragement to thousands, particularly for those within the Hispanic community who are facing uncertainties in their daily lives.
