New recording…on the way + more MISSIONS

original post: 02/22/2012

I don’t have alot of details for you right now but just thought I would let everyone know that I am getting ready to record a new project in the coming weeks.  About half of the songs will be public domain favorites and the other half are great church worship standards.

After we recorded the Missions Vol 1 project last summer to raise funds for the Japan missions team, I really wanted to do something similar as a solo project.  I will continue to do missions trips, as God  leads & provides, and I believe this project will be both a tool to help raise funds for those projects and  a vehicle to minister to people who want and need to feel encouragement in the presence of God.

This year I will be traveling to areas in the Middle East to walk & pray as well as a specific missions trip to Israel in June.  My dear friends, Frank & Sandra Young from Houston, TX have invited me to go with them to Israel as part of a group tour but more specifically, to sing and minister in some of the Arab Christian churches in the Haifa area.  I will be able to sing on their radio and TV programs that air the gospel in the Middle East region 24/7 each day. http://www.haifancc.org/
We will also be ministering in a Messianic congregation on Mt. Carmel http://carmel-assembly.org.il/   This Messianic congregation and the Arab Christian congregation fellowship with each other and work well together.  This is a beautiful testimony of what Christianity really is and the wall of separation does not exist!

The trip to Israel is a $3600 trip.  A portion of that cost is for airfare and I am blessed to be able to fly using my companion status so my trip costs will be closer to $2000.   If anyone is interested in going on this trip with me, I would love to have some more friends on the trip!   Feel free to check out the information at the following website and get back with me as soon as possible.  You will need to purchase your airline tickets asap and the balance of $2000 will be due at a later date. http://israeltour.webs.com/

As I mentioned, part of the purpose of the recording project is to fund missions efforts.  First, I have to pay for the project!  The initial cost of the project has already gone down from approximately $5000 to $3500 due to generous donations from people directly involved in the recording.   Deadlines for money are coming up quickly so if you feel that you can make a donation to help with this project, your help is appreciated.

MARCH 12:   deadline for $1500
MARCH 19:   deadline for $1000
MARCH 23:   deadline for $1000
