Guitar Ministry

By Jean 2 Comments

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.

Fear Not!

By Jean 4 Comments

Why does Jesus keep telling us to “Fear Not?” He tells us because we need to hear it. We have pretty amazing minds that can create vivid pictures of whatever we focus on.

If you watch and listen to the news, most of what we see or hear is pretty dismal. There are wars, famines, fires and threats of all sorts.

We have real enemies who would love to destroy us. We think our enemies are terrorist groups or specific people, but if you pull the veil back, it’s orchestrated by demonic powers.

Jeff Leslie, an inspiration

By Jean 4 Comments

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:

“I have a music degree (BME voc/instr) and I played drums, guitar, pno, and bass until a diving accident that left me paralyzed from the shoulders down. Now I create music w/th the computer. The original version of my song was written before my accident. I always liked the melody but felt the lyrics needed help as I matured and became a better lyricist.

I did a lot of writing and recording from the time I began high school. Every year I’d record the songs I wrote that year. I began experimenting with multitrack recording in college but I didn’t really come into my own as a serious songwriter until a couple of years after my accident when I met a writer from Nashville that tutored me for a couple of years.

I have music software where I have a blank score and I choose a note value from a selection of notes and drag it over with my mouse and place it on the staff. One by one, eventually I have a music score. I then designate each line or part to an instrument in my selection of sound modules, electric keyboard, drum machine or instruments circling me in my studio. These are all wired together to my computer in a process called MIDI (musical instrument digital interface).

Isaac King: A Life Dedicated to Jesus

By Jean 12 Comments

July 15, 1986–September 4, 2006

Isaac King 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.

1 Peter 4:10 says, “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” God touched the life of Isaac King with many gifts, and Isaac lived this verse in every aspect of his life. The most obvious gift was Isaac’s music. The words that follow are also evidence of something greater—how Isaac used the gifts God gave him and how God used Isaac. In his short 20 years, Isaac was a true instrument for Jesus Christ.
