King David didn’t play the guitar, but if he had one I bet he would have written some beautiful worship songs with it!
Carlton and Sharon Jones are helping modern day ‘Davids’ acquire guitars in obscure places around the world. They started a ministry that gives guitars to missionaries – guitarministries.com.
They have been hosting a number of awesome guitar concerts in Baton Rouge, LA and using the profits to buy guitars to give to missionaries. They also own a guitar store in Baton Rouge – guitardreamers.com.
If you would like to donate an instrument or if you’re in the need of one for your ministry, you can contact them from their web site – guitarministries.com.
By the way, you can listen to one of their songs at the end of the ‘Fear Not’ article.
Jeff submitted a song in the worship contest last summer. After his song was chosen for the website, I discovered he was a quadriplegic. He is such an inspiration! Here is what he wrote about his life and song:
Isaac Dale King was born July 15, 1986, in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. He was the oldest of six children born to Dale and Karen King. Isaac died in a tragic car accident in September. Three of his closest friends—Aaron Davis, Stevo Dillon, and Sarah Foster—died with him. According to the Enid News, “The four were killed when their car was hit head on by another vehicle then collided with a third.” Isaac was planning to attend Liberty University following his volunteer work with Primary Focus, a group that performs at grade school assemblies, emphasizing a “character counts” message.
