The global music community is mourning the loss of Ron Kenoly, the renowned American worship leader and songwriter, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 81.
The news was confirmed by his longtime music director, Bruno Miranda, who honoured Kenoly not as a mere performer, but as a faithful leader who dedicated his life to guiding people into genuine worship of Jesus Christ.
Rising to prominence in the 1990s, Kenoly’s powerful vocals and anthemic praise songs became a cornerstone of worship in churches around the world.
His signature live albums, often featuring massive choirs, fostered a universal atmosphere of celebration that crossed cultural and religious divides.
