Dear Friends
Are you looking for a great new Christmas recording filled with songs that tell of the joy and wonder of Christmas? Then look no further because Allison's first Christmas collection is finally available! Merry Christmas My Love features 13 songs including "Silent Night," Winter Wonderland," "Mary Did You Know," "New Star Shining," "Tennessee Christmas," "Jesus, What A Wonderful Child," "Do You Hear What I Hear," and many more! You can sample audio clips of this new project on her website. Allison wrote the song "Merry Christmas My Love" one Christmas when money was slim and buying for every loved one was a challenge. Allison relates, "That particular Christmas we didn't have a lot of extra money, so Brian and I bought gifts for our family and not for each other. We were both happy with this arrangement because we are so blessed all year long, but I wanted to give him some token of my love, so I wrote this poem. Michael O'Brien later added the beautiful music and I eventually recorded the song on a Gaither Homecoming video." We are taking orders now for the November 20 release, and shipping will be free until Christmas Eve! And as a special introductory offer, we are offering 10 CDs for $100. What a great way to stock up on gifts for friends and loved ones! Order your copy now and enjoy this peaceful and joyous collection of music from Allison during the entire Christmas season.
We are thrilled to report that the first Elijah Conference was a huge success! The conference, which was held October 15-18, 2008, was an amazing time of teaching, fellowship, and basking in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Teaching focused on excellence in communication and musicianship, and the importance of an attitude of servant-hood in ministry. Musicians from all over the world came together to have performances critiqued and to receive instruction on how to make their performance more effective. Nancy Morgan took her responsibility as staff photographer very seriously, as you can see by the number of photos she took! Four galleries can be found online at www.elijahconference.com. As you are perusing the photos, take note of how many different expressions Allison can make! We were all amazed at how much heart she put into each of the students. The anointing of the Lord truly rested upon her teaching ability. During the conference, participants made profound strides in their ability to communicate the gospel of Christ. We are excited to announce that dates have been set for the next conference. The Elijah Conference will be held Wednesday, April 15 through Saturday, April 18, 2009. If you have always wanted to be critiqued and learn the professional's "secrets of performing," please make plans to attend this spring, or forward this to anyone wanting to be a better communicator and minister of the Gospel.
"There are so many great singers out there
who just need someone who cares enough to
watch them and assess what they do, then tell
them how to make it better. We have put
together a team of professional musicians
with years of experience and they are all
willing to give those secrets away to others
who minister and sing for Christ. We are all
on the same team. The veterans on the team
are now gathering at Elijah Conference to
share their hard-earned experience and
techniques."
Following is a list of Allison's November 2008 dates. As always, while we realize that you might not be able to come to a church service or concert, we ask for your prayers for us while we're on the road. Thank you in advance and we pray God's blessings on you and your family.
