This ministry is yours as well as ours... In recent years, an extraordinary ministry has
emerged to uniquely share the message of Jesus
Not
everyone will listen to a sermon. Almost everyone will
listen to a song. In place where hope seems most
elusive, where people have craved encouragement, where
burdens are the greatest, the universal language of
music is spoken, and understood.
Just a few miles outside of the rubble in New York
City and again at Dover AFB as the first war casualty
arrived - encouragement through song was offered.
• At the Oklahoma City bombing, rescue workers stopped in awe as
they heard clear voices proclaiming hope amidst the
rubble.
• In prisons throughout Texas, Oklahoma, and
Kansas, prisoners found reasons to forgive, and be
forgiven.
• In racially mixed townships of South Africa,
fellowship was redefined through music.
• In the concert halls and orphanages of China, a message of love older
than their ancient country was heard.
• In the markets and
on the streets of St. Maarten, in the small towns of
northern Siberia, to Eskimos in Alaska, to Rastas in
Jamaica; a message of strength that transcends culture
is preached - through the simplicity and beauty of the
human voice and music.
In any ministry, there are three
essential elements.
1. There must be a need - and when
in the history of the earth have people needed the truth
of the gospel more?
2. There must be workers -
missionaries equipped to do the job.
3. There must be those who will help equip the workers - someone to
smooth the path, provide the tools, pray. Such people
are conduits of God's provision as He moves them to
provide for the needs of the worker-missionaries.
Most of us have our own personal ministries to our families,
our local churches, and other causes that reflect the
priorities of our hearts. Not everyone is called to the
job of missionary, but anyone can help the missionary -
this case, the "musicianaries" of Acappella. These
amazing young men travel more than 280 days of the year,
every year, and sing at least 140 concerts annually.
Their commitment to their family is only surpassed by
their commitment to God, and their wives and children
travel with them 95% of the time.
If God has put it upon your heart to partner with Acappella Ministries, there
are several paths available:
• Commit to daily prayer for the ministry of Acappella - for the people they will
reach, for the provisions you supply, for safety on the
road, for the personal strength and wisdom needed for
teaching people of other cultures and views.
• Make a one-time contribution to the ministry. Some specific
needs: travel funds, tapes to be given to those who
cannot afford them, newspaper and other advertisement in
communities where Acappella will minister, support for
those who will follow up in areas where Acappella has
planted seeds of hope in the hearts of the hearers.
• Provide ongoing ministry support. There are several ways
to do this, depending upon what best suits your needs.
First, we have a bank draft program (US Residents only).
By filling out a form, you can authorize a certain
amount to be transferred from your bank account to
Acappella Ministries each month. Your tax-deductible
gift goes to work in ministry automatically. Second, the
same draft program is available through your credit card
