IDOP cd project making progress

For those of you that have been following this blog you know the Mission Network News is co-producing a music project to celebrate the persecuted church around the world.

Right now we have Shannon Wexelberg, who has written five songs for the project, who will be singing on the project. Scott Krippayne, in the process of writing, is also singing. Charles Billingsley is going to sing. And, Regi Smith is in the process of write and perhaps singing.

We hope to have the music selected by the end of May and hit the studio in July.

It's turning into a bigger project. We hope to do some video for a Day of Discovery television broadcast. Plus, we're hoping to do a four or five city tour before International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, which is November 11.

Pray for us.

Welcome Sharon Felten

In January Mission Network News began operating a couple staff members short. The resignation of my assistant was difficult. She wrote stories for us and did the proof-reading for our website and e-mail lists. She also coordinated all of our newsletter and bulletin insert projects.

However, late last month, we were finally able to hire her replacement. I'd like you to welcome Sharon Felten. Sharon has been on the job for about two weeks. She's handled some major projects already and has done a wonderful job editing letters, the website and e-mails that come to you on a regular basis.

Sharon just completed her first bulletin insert and is getting ready to finish her first newsletter. So, she's making a great contribution already.

If you'd like to welcome Sharon, send her an email by clicking here.

In the meantime we're gearing up for a great spring and summer. We're also getting ready to assist in the production of a CD that will celebrate the persecuted church around the world. Original songs are being written as we speak. The CD will feature some of the best singer songwriters in Christian music today.

We expect to begin production some time in July. Pray for us.
