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 200 days of the
year, every year, and sing at least 100 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 (US
Residents only). And third, you can send in your gift
monthly. We will provide you an addressed envelope each month so
you can keep track of your giving.
