QUEEN OF GOSPEL Biography

Armon-Beene, otherwise known as Queen of Gospel, knew that in order to capture lost souls, man's knowledge was simply not enough. God gave her a vision of how to reach the broken hearts and spirits of those that had gone astray. Overcoming many obstacles in her own life gave her a stronger determination to do God's Will. Throughout her ministry, there have been many setbacks, she has suffered strokes, 7 surgeries, epilepsy, heart failure and comas, but God was always providing a way for her to escape.
