A Journey to the Mission Field

Continued from page 3

Do you feel like if someone has a heart for music, heart for ministry and worship, but they’re lacking a little bit on the musical side. Do you still think that there’s hope for them to achieve their musical desire?

Oh sure. They can always hook up with other musician[s] and song-writers [to] co-writing songs. a lot of [song-writers] can’t sing but they’re great lyricist. Networking with people and as much as you can with a [similar passion] would be very beneficial.

What are your long-term goals and visions?

To get on the road and do a lot of touring and spread the message to the live band. I’m really proud of [our new] record but I think [that] playing [it] live is going to have more impact. We’re looking to get on the road and do a substantial amount of touring. [I would also like to get] involved with different missions.
 
I just want to reiterate the message of our album The Mission Field. The last song in our album is called Back From the Dead. It’s a song about overcoming temptation, and sin. That’s one of my main objectives with this record to let people know that [it is] not hopeless. But [also that] you already have the victory through Christ. We have the victory over the things in our lifetime and the trials and tribulations that we’re going to face. If you’re saved and you believe in Jesus Christ then you have the victory. I want to make sure people go away listening to our record or coming away from our show believing that there is hope. I think a lot of times we forget who God is. We think our problem is big. But our God is way bigger than our problem. [Often] we can get blinded by circumstance and that’s just another lie of the Devil. It pounds in our heads that there is no hope. That’s a lie. I want this record to bring people hope.”
