What an awesome evening of worship at HBU’s Quest service on Tuesday! We were overwhelmed by the response of the students to the music and the powerful message from Aid Sudan’s Executive Director, Peter Swann. Thanks to Danny Miller and Colette Cross for bringing us out!
We began the evening by playing a couple worship songs and then moved into the music from the new project, Music for the Radio. Along the way we told the story of our time in Sudan and invited students to be a part of Aid Sudan’s Radio Station Project by providing handheld radios for the South Sudanese.
Peter delivered a powerful and challenge message. Are we provoked enough by evil in this world to do something about it? The students answered with a resounding yes!
One student, Shelby, gave $100 to...
We spent Sunday morning at Crossroads Baptist Church in The Woodlands and what an awesome morning it was! Thanks to Larry York, Rocky Gilmore, Roger Raymie, Sandra Livingston and everyone who had a part in bringing us in. We led worship and had a chance to share several of the songs and stories from the Music for the Radio EP. Then Bob Livingston, an Aid Sudan missionary and the son of church members at Crossroads, spoke about his experiences in Sudan.
He spoke about the power of the Radio Station Project, and its ability to reach people with the Gospel that no foreign missionary could reach. He talked about how simple tips for the treatment of water, transmitted via the radio, can make a huge difference in the health of the Sudanese people. He reminded us of the story of Thildit, a...
We're excited to let you know that next week Jess and I will be a part of USA Radio Network's Daybreak USA program on Monday, August 1. The USA Radio Network services content to over 1100 radio stations across the country, so we are grateful for the opportunity to tell the story of the South Sudanese on such a large platform. And when they say "Daybreak," they're not kidding! Our interview will be at 6:35 AM Central time. So if you're an early riser and want to catch us on the radio tune, in to one of the radio stations that broadcasts the show or just listen live online.
Don't you enjoy being around grateful people? Grateful people tend to be magnetic! That's one of the things we love about Aid Sudan's Executive Director, Peter Swann. He asked for an opportunity to thank our church body at Tallowood for supporting the Music for the Radio CD Release Concert, and we gladly obliged.
Last week we had a chance to go to Nashville where we taped a 30-minute show called 1 Music Village that airs on JC TV, part of the Trinity Broadcasting Network family. It was something completely new for us, but a lot of fun nonetheless. We recruited a great band of old and new friends: Leslyn Ichter on background vocals, Clint Milburn, an old bandmate from BDA on electric guitar, Scott Williamson, our friend and producer on drums, and Seth Marcum, a fantastic bass player.
We began the day at Soundcheck Nashville for rehearsal, where we tried valiantly to make it through each song without goofing off. Paul Wilmuth made an appearance, and he met a new friend, Leslie Itcher, who is an artist of similarly unique talent.
After a great breakfast at Jack's Barbecue we headed up to the TBN...
We were honored to have the opportunity to appear on FoxNews.com where we were interviewed by Religion Correspondent Lauren Green about our new project and the people of southern Sudan. Take a look!
