Album Status Update

Hello everyone! Thanks so much for your continued interest and support for the upcoming album and tour One Life. I wanted to share some updates on the project with you so that you can keep praying for it - because without God this project would seem impossible..

The One Life kickoff concert took place on Sunday, November 15th at Riverside Community Church's Oakmont worship venue. There were almost 200 in attendance that evening and the atmosphere was electric! It was so encouraging to have that much support and to hear the whole room filled with singing and support.

There was a love offering taken at the concert through the suggestion of Pastor Bill Ellis, our lead pastor here at Riverside. Nearly $3,000 was given through that offering!! I was blown away and I still am! It is so humbling to be supported in such a generous way! And that money will go a long way to helping this project be the success that we are anticipating.

Pastor Bill also announced that future donations towards the project could be made to Riverside Community Church marked "One Life CD." Since then another $850 has come in and a few others have pledged to send in. The support is much needed and appreciated!

To date the project goal is estimated at $9-13k depending on the number of CDs we are going to produce..

Also, the album cover is now finished thanks to Christie Pink for cover design and artwork and Abie Livesay for photography. I can't wait to release the album cover but for now it's under wraps :)

Details are coming together and things are progressing along as anticipated and God is already opening doors for this project and I haven't even started recording yet! I am taking some vacation time in December to work on the album, songs, arrangements, loops, etc. January begins the recording process with a release still schedule in mid-April right after Easter. Keep it prayer please!

Thanks for all of your support and encouragement! It is such a blessing!!!
