Prayer Updates: Music Program Update

October 12, 2004

Just an update on the band program that our missionaries have been prayerfully seeking God's guidance on...

After several meetings, and constant prayer, God has blessed our missionaries with the opportunity to use this for His glory!!!! WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN!!!!! The Band Program is up and running! BUT, by the grace of God alone, and with the help of all the prayers that have been lifted and continue to be lifted up in this, there isn't just ONE program, but TWO beginning band programs started!!! PRAISE GOD!!!

But that's not all... believers in several churches stateside, on their own initiative, have stepped forward to join us in this ministry and have begun to collect used band instruments to send to Volgograd, Russia, for this program!!! Our missionaries have already received five quality band instruments, and more are on the way. The kids that are eager and willing to participate in this program were SO excited to receive these instruments, that they could hardly contain themselves!!! God is truly in the midst of a beautiful project at hand for His glory!!!

We ask that you would please continue to pray for this ministry, for our missionaries to be "salt and light" for the kids involved, their teachers, and their parents, as our missionaries offer quality music education!!! And please keep the children involved... willing to open their eyes, ears, and hearts to the truth of the gospel of Christ... and that through these children, teachers, and parents... God's word will begin to rapidly spread throughout Volgograd, Russia in a great and mighty way!!! Thank you and blessings to you all.
