Programme Sponsorship Terms

Hosanna Music Ministry Inc. is committed to sponsoring and promoting Christian musical programmes as a unique way of advancing the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our sponsorship/partnership is mainly in the most neglected area, which is documentation.

Any Church, organization, musical band, choir, etc. that is applying for sponsorship and/or partnership shall subscribe to the following terms and conditions as the case may be:

DOCUMENTATION

Kindly note that we do not and will not sell any of the musical work that we sponsored/partnered with (otherwise discussed and agreed upon by both parties upon through a written agreement).
