Dear Friends & Partners,

We have many exciting ministry activities to share with you!  We thank God for you and all your encouragement and support through the years.  We are excited about ministry now more than ever. We'll share a brief update of all the latest news!

NEW VIOLIN PROJECT

The last few days we have been recording the background tracks for our new Violin Worship CD in the Heart for the World building and it went great! We were able to record 19 songs that have such a wonderful feel – such an anointing – that we can’t wait to finish it and make it available.

Including favorite songs written over the last century (old and new) this will be a perfect recording to use during devotional “quiet times,” or as worshipful music to fill homes with a spirit of peace and the presence of God.  This CD will also be great for churches to play during prayer times or altar services.

FAMILY MUSIC CD

We spent time with our sons, Tyler and Travis, at their college last weekend rehearsing some of the songs for this new CD.  The boys are an integral part of the singing, playing, songwriting, and producing on this family project - something we've never done.  Since they are at college, it is taking a lot more logistical planning.  There is little time in-between their classes and studies, and it’s challenging to do it long-distance (They are 3 hours from us), but with God’s help, we can do it.

We hope to record tracks in December over their Christmas break, so please lift this project up in prayer.  We want to write and minister, both in our live concerts and on this CD, with songs that will most deeply touch other families and bring glory to Jesus Christ! (It's interesting to have the boys bring us up to date with the new styles!)

MARRIAGE SEMINAR DVD

Many of you already know that we are planning, Lord-willing, to video tape one of our Marriage Seminars.  Making it available on DVD will allow marriages to be influenced world-wide.  God has already provided international distribution, and our long-range goal is to have this video available in other languages.  Please pray for financial provision – this is quite an expensive undertaking – and also for guidance with the many logistical and technical hurdles.  It’s thrilling to think of the potential this project has.  (There are also other exciting opportunities for marriage and family ministry we will soon be sharing with you as they unfold.)

MISSION TRIP TO SPAIN

Lastly, we are planning a missions outreach to Barcelona, Spain at the end of November.  This will be a mini-trip not only to minister with our Spanish songs and Spanish Marriage Seminar, but also to make future ministry outreach plans – we have the opportunity to minister across the entire nation of Spain in 2008.  Please pray for safety and wisdom as we begin our plans for future ministry in this new nation – our 35th country of mission outreach!

May God richly bless you and your family!
