Ann Downing
"I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as
long as I live." ~
Psalm 104:33
More than likely you’ve seen Ann Downing as a regular on the popular Gaither Homecoming Video series. However the majority of her time is spent maintaining a full schedule of church concerts and speaking engagements each weekend traveling throughout the United States and Canada.
Apart from her affiliation with the Gaither Homecoming Friends, Ann’s own versatile music style appeals to a wide range of musical tastes and age groups, not just the Gaither Video fans.
Ann’s unique presentation style is also appealing in that she comes down from the platform to communicate with the audience on a very personal level; something few can do successfully. Her spontaneous, off-the-cuff delivery gives the feeling of a conversational visit rather than a rigid formal program.
Raised on a cotton farm in rural Mississippi, Ann grew up dreaming of the day she’d sing gospel music all over the world. Right out of high school she began to realize that dream by securing a position with the legendary Speer Family, later marrying the man of her dreams and co-founding a group that helped shape the face of Gospel music we have today. She won the industry’s highest honor—the Dove Award—for Female Vocalist within a year of co-founding the Downings and went on to be inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
Ann has been lauded with various awards and accolades throughout her gospel music career spanning over forty years. However, she’s quick to tell you that she’s like you in many ways. Fading success? She’s been there! Crumbling marriage or financial ruin? She’s been there! Lost a spouse or experienced a devastating trauma in your family? Ann’s walked in your shoes!
What do you do when you can’t “fix” what’s wrong in your life or the lives of those you love? What do you do when the circumstances of your life beg the question, “do you really believe what you’ve said about trusting God?” Ann’s intensely personal story is one that reaches us all where we live and helps us hold firmly to the promise that “earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal.”
Words for Women
 I’m A Survivor!
Sometimes life votes you off the island and you feel like you are the weakest link! When you’ve run out of lifelines and there’s no friend to phone, how will you make it in the real world? Ann turns to the Bible to find the first real survivor—and wouldn’t you know she was a woman? Travel with Ann as she ventures down the road with Ruth and learn to find the handfuls of purpose in your own life.
Enough of the Fluff, Gimme the Real Stuff!
Comfortable Christianity, move over! Wave goodbye to your laid-back religion—this is where the rubber meets the road. When life forces you out of the hymnbook and off of the pew, what in the world will you do? Walk with Ann on a journey that takes you face to face with your faith, and challenges you to put it into practice!
I Quit
When you get to the end of the rope, tie a knot and hang on! But what do you do when you’ve tied a rope-full of knots and still nothing’s changing? Through an intensely personal story, Ann helps you find two surprising words that just may change your life!

Father Knows Best
It sounds like an episode of “Touched By An Angel,” but even Hollywood can’t top God working in the lives of his children! From its dramatic beginning to its heartwarming close, your spirit will soar as Ann shares how God turned the 56 most painful days of her life into a new beginning for one special teenager.
Above All Else
Gotta check the mirror once more to make sure you're in the best condition possible? But have you checked your "heart condition" today? Journey with Ann through a series of "heart Scriptures" to learn what our Heavenly Father puts 'Above All Else' and what "heart-titudes" He desires us to possess.
No Strings Attached
Love and acceptance….we all want it, but how many times do we get it with no expectations in return? How do we show our very personal selves to others or even to God? Masterfully weaving a very personal story of creating a piece for her craft-talented mother, Ann communicates beyond a doubt that we’re loved…strings and all….with no strings attached.
