My husband and I are selling our house and all we own to pursue what we believe is God’s will for our lives. As soon as our house sells, we will be hitting the road full time and touring the country to raise awareness for non-profit organizations that are saving and changing people’s lives.

During my last nine years of ministry, I have met so many amazing people who are truly making a difference and shaking things up. I have learned a great deal about life-controlling issues and the statistics affecting both men and women, as well as children. I have done volunteer work for some incredible organizations and my only complaint is that not enough people know about the hope that is being offered. As a result, people are suffering because they do not know what is available to them.

I want to spend the rest of my life doing all I can to meet the people who are making a difference, rally the troops, pool our resources, start support groups and raise awareness while helping these organizations raise funds to support their cause. We want to get the word out and let others know that there are answers for their dilemmas. There is hope.

We will educate, empower and equip people with the life-changing tools they need to make healthy life choices. I want to have answers when someone cries out for help. Most people have heard of the huge non-profit organizations that do so much good in the world, but there are so many organizations doing great things that not enough people have heard of and we want to change that.

One of my favorites npos is headquartered right here in Nashville. Mercy Ministries was founded by Nancy Alcorn over 25 years ago and is a global ministry that is literally saving the lives of girls ages 13-28 who are battling life-controlling issues such as eating disorders, addiction, self harm etc. They provide a home for the girls, free of charge, and have over a 90% success rate. Most all of the Mercy girls go on to lead very healthy and productive lives and the gift goes on. Teen Challenge has an 85% success rate in dealing with substance abuse. They provide homes for both men and women of all ages. I could go on and on.

The problem is that these wonderful npos cannot change and save lives if no one has ever heard of them. That’s where we come in. Our primary focus is to travel from city to city across the country, meet pastors and founders of npos and see what we can do to raise awareness and funds for them in their communities.

Statistics have shown that women are twice as likely to suffer from depression as men are and tend to isolate thinking they are crazy or that they are alone in it and no one would ever understand. For those of us who have been involved in raising awareness we know that simply isn’t true and that if people only knew how many others were suffering…all around them…everywhere they go…we could help greater numbers.

We want the church to be at the forefront of this very focused mission that will seek to set up support groups and offer hope and encouragement to those who are hurting. I have personally witnessed radical life change and I know what is possible, but I am sad when I speak of these things and then someone in great need of the services offered walks up to me and says they never knew this or that npo existed. We may only make the difference for one person, but we are going.

Here is how you can help. We need to meet everyone we can who would be interested in joining our efforts and introducing us to these awesome people around the country. Please stay tuned for more details and statistics.

2010 Music, Motivation, Missions-Minded Ministry in Motion- Raising awareness and funds for Non-Profit organizations across the US that are radically changing and saving people’s lives on a daily basis.

We are going to need your help in planning our upcoming US Tour. We are open to any ministry opportunities there may be in your area. We are working now to map out a travel schedule so that we can manage our time to the best of our ability and cover as much ground as possible. This tour is in the planning stages so we are wide open for venues right now.

Many of you have written to ask how you can help? What we need right now is contacts for churches, Christian bookstores, radio/tv stations etc. Ultimately, it would be awesome to find Christian leaders who are willing to head up street teams of believers who are movers, shakers and great networkers. That way we can accomplish as much as possible.

We are planning to work in FL this winter, January-April, then move west from there. We know for sure that we want to spend at least a week in each city, so that we can visit the surrounding areas within a 3 hour drive.

A typical week would look like this:

Monday-Tuesday: Days set apart for travel, phone calls and networking opportunities including followup from the previous weekend.

Wednesday Evening Church Service:
I share my story through music. This usually lasts one-hour. (Concert/Speaking)

Thursday: Sing during the afternoon at a nursing/retirement home, then sing/speak at a prison that evening.

Friday-Saturday: Women’s/Seniors/Youth Events (ie. Retreats, Conferences, Luncheons and Lock Ins)

2 Sunday Services (am/pm): I share my story through music up to one hour. (Concert/Speaking/Testimony)

Our goal is to meet the families and friends of our friends who can refer us and help us build strong and lasting relationships. Word of mouth has been our best marketing tool for 9 years now and we are praying for God to expand our territory so we can reach more people. We need the names, numbers and email addresses of Pastors, Christian bookstore owners and radio/tv station managers who would be interested in helping us visit their communities and move across the country. We need to meet as many people as possible who want to change this world. One life at a time. One city at a time.

Are you familiar with any gospel stations in your area? I want to visit them face to face, introduce myself and thank those who have played my music.

Thanks in advance for providing us with the contacts we need to make these things happen. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
