- About Me:
- Savaslas Lofton was born and raised in the small town of Wilson, North Carolina. He is the son of Pastor Thurman and Elderess Betty Lofton and the youngest of eight children. He is married to Tracey Lofton of Suffolk, VA and has two beautiful children, David Hezekiah Lofton and Josiah Jeremiah Lofton.
The greatest influence on his life has been the Word of God. Savaslas was introduced to the ministry as he traveled and gained invaluable knowledge about the gospel music industry while touring with his father’s singing ensemble. Many years later, while in the Air Force, he served as a drummer for gospel artists such as Douglas Miller and Shawn Pace Rhodes during the Church of God in Christ Fellowship Retreat (1997-98) in the Republic of South Korea.
In 1993, the Holy Spirit inspired Savaslas to begin song writing and playing the piano. Not understanding the gift he possessed, he began singing, playing, and writing songs for secular artists. The immutable calling on his life, however, was to minister through music and song for the Lord. In 1994, while lodging at a hotel in South Bronx N.Y., Savaslas came face to face with the reality of God’s purpose for his life. He and the R&B group he traveled with were robbed by gunpoint. By the grace of God, they escaped and no one was hurt or injured. This wake-up call launched Savaslas into his destiny. When he arrived back home to North Carolina, he rededicated his life back to the Lord. It was then prophesied that he was anointed to preach the Gospel and would travel the world. Seven years later, the prophecy was fulfilled when he became a licensed minister in 2001.
Savaslas is a sought after writer, singer, songwriter and musician whose gift truly made room for him and brought him before great men (Proverbs 18:16). He had the pleasure of accompanying Elder Rance Allen on keyboard and vocals. He also orchestrated the music for several conferences: Women of War 2001 at Oasis Christian Center Alamogordo, N.M. and Season of Praise 2003 at Christian Joy Center, El Paso, T.X. Most recently, he accompanied the gospel comedian/artist, Broderick Rice, in May of 2004 at Christian Joy Center, El Paso, T.X., Kim Rutheford, and Joann Rosario, both of whom were members of Radical for Christ.
Savaslas is currently on the ministerial staff and serves as the Minister of Music for Christian Joy Center, El Paso T.X. and Alamogordo, N.M. in addition, Audio Visual Multimedia Director/Editor. He desires to minister to the deep-seated needs of God’s people through singing, musical composition, and songwriting. Truly, this man of God has a heart not only for the lost, but for the hurting as well. He is the founder and C.E.O. of Balm in Gilead Ministries (founded in 2000), which is an outreach ministry designed to bring deliverance and healing to the land (Jeremiah 8:22).
Savaslas is also a columnist for "WOW" Women of the Word Magazine (www.wowmagazine.org) and "El Paso Perspective" a local Christian newspaper. (www.visionnewspaper.com)

Loving You
Loving Yourself
Mirrors possess a canny ability to radiate the past, present and future all at the same time,
With one glance, it’s very possible to see all three.
Though you exist every day as “be” the present,
I am quite sure that you have at times reflected on your past: tainted or pleasurable,
Or may have pre-played your future whether indecisive or crystal clear,
Each step is influenced by where you are right now.
Your future is influenced by where you are spiritually, emotionally and phys… Continue

My Love at Peace
I opened the door and found her sound asleep by the window,
My love, my heart so at peace.
I didn’t want to disturb her,
Letting my eyes delight in her beauty in humble admiration,
She lie there, soft like crimson pedals, so tender still,
A beautiful painting that not even Micheal Angelo could fathom.
A melody in human form,
She played for me; she played for me,
Sweet melodic tunes with each rise and fall of her breast.
Her mouth glistening from the noon day sun,
With the light summer breeze car… Continue

A Date With the King
“A Date with the King”
by Savaslas Lofton
Do you remember your very first date? After greeting him, did you find yourself immediately comparing him with a list of expectations you may have predicated based on past experiences? Did you listen intently to see how he responded to questions you adeptly asked to test the authenticity of his truthfulness and character? Did you anticipate him opening your car door, entertaining you with productive dialogue, and offering to pay for your meal? Was he… Continue

Life of a Worshipper
The Life of a Worshipper
Luke 9:23
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
The life of a worshipper is a life of sacrifice; sacrifice that is necessary in all aspects of life. A worshipper’s life is a life that has been designed for the purpose and the intent of others. God is his/her portion, not just by choice alone, but by necessity. A leader MUST be a worshipper if he/she is to be effective for the Kingdom of… Continue

Sowing to Life
Sowing to Life
Lack in any area of life is as a result of the ability to properly access something due to the lack of; knowledge, skill, persistence and commitment. God never reneged on His promise to Adam and Eve. “And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.”… Continue
