This is the video outlining our Christmas '08 project. It will give you an idea of where we began, although we are no loner providing instruments in this particular way.

Why this type of project? As a worship leader my main desire is to see the glory and praises of the Lord known and declared in ALL the earth, not just in Madison, Alabama. If we truly believe that worshiping God is important and spiritually transforming, we should be committed to seeing it happen outside the walls of our own personal church. We all have so many resources and so much equipment! We have so much when others have so little - perhaps it's time to share.
Jan,
this is a great idea - I'll try and help promote this.

We just purchased a guitar for Quademala and 4 CD's for the Dominican Republic. Along with these gifts we send our prayers for wonderful times of worship and Christian fellowship.

My team just bought a Takamine Acoustic Guitar, two sets of strings, two sets of picks, two straps, and 4 Marcos Whitt CDs to send to the Dominican Republic as my "gift" this Christmas. Thank you friends!
