Dear Partners & Friends,

Greetings from Nashville!  We are grateful to God for all His blessings, including your friendship, prayers, and support.  This ministry has brought many exciting adventures into our lives lately, and we want to share them with you.

BOOK SALES ARE BOOMING!

Near the turn of the New Year, Family Christian Bookstores approached us with a large order for our marriage devotional, Reviving Your Romance: 40 Days to a Better Marriage for nation-wide distribution.  And then in January, we stopped by the Christian Booksellers Association Convention for a book signing.

Soon after this, Don Wildmon and the American Family Association published an interview with us in their magazine in both their February and March issues.  This advertised our book and concert/seminar ministries to 2.2 million people across the United States (perhaps you saw this).

A NATION-WIDE RADIO SPECIAL THIS SUNDAY at 2:00 PM !!!

In February, American Family Radio Network produced a one-hour Marriage radio special on us and Heart For The World, Inc. featuring our new marriage book and music CD.  It will be airing THIS SUNDAY AT 2 PM on almost 200 stations across the country.  You can LISTEN ONLINE at www.afr.net or check the AFR Network online station list for a local station in your area so you can listen on the radio.

Also, we are in the process of coordinating a date with the Family Research Council in Washington DC to do a radio program with Tony Perkins discussing the topic: “Reviving Hope in the Institution of Marriage.”  All of these awesome opportunities have come with little or no solicitation.  We are very grateful for these new, open doors as we continue to minister to marriages and families around the world.

MANY DECISIONS FOR CHRIST!

Our Concerts and Marriage Seminars have kept us very busy through the winter.  We are grateful for many who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior in our Marriage Seminars.  We believe that spiritual unity in marriage is the foundation for the most fulfilling and intimate relationship we can have on earth.  Seeing so many come to Christ is a great victory!

TYLER & TRAVIS JOINED US FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK AGAIN!

Our boys are now 18 and 19 years of age and off to college.  We are always thrilled when they choose to join us for ministry events.  It was great to be together again as Travis played his drum and Tyler played his guitar and they both sang for our concerts during Christmas break.  (Thanks to all who are praying for them at college.  They are both doing so well.)

NEW PROJECTS COMING!

We are happy to announce a new project in the works.  Tyler and Travis want to join us with their many talents and songwriting abilities to complete a “family” music CD and devotional book.  It’s the 2nd set in our 3-part “Marriage & Family Revival Series.”  Knowing how busy families are, we can relate to how hard it is for families to have time to pray and read the Word of God together.  Our new family Devotional will give keys to parents and resources to youth in a concise and simple way.  We want to help parents teach and lead the next generation in the ways of the Lord!

NOW FILLING UP DATES IN 2007 & 2008!

Many of you have either seen us in concert,or come to a marriage seminar.  Recently, another pastor wrote a wonderful recommendation we want to share with those of you who are thinking about inviting us to your church or conference:

“As a pastor, I am very careful who I welcome into our pulpit.  However, I am so comfortable with Terry & Barbi, who have learned how to flow and fit with the local vision without compromising their ministry and message.

To pastors of quality and growing congregations:  Your people need the balanced ministry Terry & Barbi bring to the family; and they deserve the reward of hearing their music!  Because they are as much ministers as they are seasoned concert artists, we turn the whole Sunday morning service over to them.  They have been with us 4 times over the past 12 years and our people still request their return.

Their marriage seminar was very well presented, thorough and effective, and I highly recommend it!  My only problem with Terry & Barbi was that the 1st service attendees didn't want to leave and let the next service worshippers in!”

-- David L. Hagan, Senior Pastor, Life Church, Laurel, MS

We are now filling in dates for summer and fall as well as scheduling events for 2008.  We would love to come and minister to marriages and families in your city.

Thanks for all your love, support, and prayers.  You mean so much to us!
