700 Club Interview After airing this last month, The 700 Club is doing some edits for my use; putting back into the story what I shared about my parents' redemptions too. I will then be able to release this to you in a couple weeks. Radio Tour I did ten radio interviews or so, connecting with 14 stations in nine states over a period of two weeks. Next newsletter I'll fill you in on the details and give you links to listen. |

WE'RE GIVING A VOICE - A FACE - TO THIS NEED! |
Treasurers Corner by Genny Moellring |
Why do we support ministries such as More than Music? Because God is using this ministry to touch the hearts and lives of people in need. Because God calls us to come around and support His servants. Because they are doing what we can't do.
I thank God that He has blessed me with resources to give, and that I can sacrifice to help others in need. Even if what I can do is ever so little - it is my gift of thanks to Him.
It is truly miraculous what has been accomplished through More than Music to date, given the relatively small band of faithful, private, financial supporters we have. This has been due to God's faithfulness and grace, and the blessed law of multiplicity in action. It has also been due to the many sacrifices made by Stephanie Pauline and her family. Stephanie has worked more than full-time for many years and has waived any salary since this nonprofit was founded in 2003 to commit more funds to the program and work of MtM. So we can do so much with so little! Still realistically speaking, for More than Music, Inc. to move to the next level of service, MtM needs $1,700 a month in base donor support. We currently have a shortfall of $1,100 in committeed monthly donations. Are you prompted in your spirit to join with the other partners called to support this ministry?

Well, I owe you guys an apology. This has been the longest period of time between Newsletters since my and Nathan's daughter, Aria, was born three year ago. I have just been working so hard that I have been hard pressed to find a moment to tell you all about what I've been up to. It's due time! Right now though, I'm about to catch a plane for several concerts in Portland this weekend - so I will have to forgo my usual "From the Heart" section for time sake and give your more comprehensive news in another week or so.

Highlights & Prayers

- Stephanie visitted 13 radio station in nine states in two weeks this last month. Fun to watch the switchboards light up as God moved. More details to be shared next Newsletter. (Pictured above at Moody Radio in Chicago with Denny Nugent and Carlos Martinez and on air at WGNB in Michigan with Scott Curtis.)
- More than Music is working towards putting on the next big benefit concert. Bebo Norman and Stephanie Pauline are again going to join forces, this time for Southern CO Youth for Christ; a worthy organization More than Music has worked with in CO detention center ministry for years. Friday, May 13th, 2011 at Woodmen Valley Chapel. Mark your calendars people. You heard it here first!
- The song Toy soldier is making radio traction across the US. Pray for those who will hear the song in their cars, kitchens, and living rooms. That they would find courage to be more real before God about their need and in that find how very real is His vast love for them.
- We are working to find funding for 20 Detention and drug rehab facility concerts this next year. 10 this year. This will involve developing ongoing mentorship programs in some facilities through partnerships with churches in their locale.
- Overhauling the web site is still in the works as well.
- We added a new Board member too. Terrell Mayton is serving as advisor on the MtM board of directors. We are so thankful and excited to have his input! Here is a bit about Terrell:
