Fall/Winter 2000




"Do not be
anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."

Philippians 4:6-9

 

Happy harvest/holiday time to all of you! Gee, I can't believe the year is practically over! Seems as if there isn't enough time these days to get enough accomplished or do everything we originally planned at the start of the year. Nevertheless, it has been a dynamically fruitful period for LFC in many powerful ways.

Most importantly, we continually receive countless testimonies from people around the country about how our music has played a meaningful role in bringing healing to their lives. When we first began this project many months ago, I was once asked what would it take for us to consider our project successful. Although it would be great if we could raise enough money to help bring meaningful financial aid to the survivors of the Columbine tragedy, I replied that, "If our music alone brought healing to even one hurting person, we have succeeded!" This important aspect of our mission has been extraordinarily successful and I thank God for providing myself, and countless others on our project who gave generously of their time, resources, and most importantly, their hearts, to touch others in this way.

To look into the eyes of a parent who lost a their child or whose teen is painfully struggling with their handicap derived through school violence and even try to comprehend that you might have been able to remove or suppress even a moment's worth of pain from their lives through music is a something I can't quite put into words - it is something you will never forget. It is also something that makes you want to do even more.

While we have been able to accomplish much in this important area of our mission, we have fallen short of where we anticipated we would financially be with our fundraising at this juncture. While our local sales in many stores within Colorado have done well for over a year, with the many efforts we made for its success, our national sales campaign has not achieved what we anticipated.

As we pray for guidance and continue to work toward pursuing productive alternatives for a profitable resolve through our local and national distribution channels and other opportunities, we reach out to all of you for your prayers and continued support. We encourage you to tell all of your friends and associates about our commemorative benefit CD who may not yet have a copy of it bearing in mind that what we're doing here is not only selling powerful music, but directly helping victims of the Columbine tragedy, many who are in the background enduring a significantly greater struggle than most people can even imagine.

As we approach the coming holidays, please remember in your prayers all of the families who have suffered from school violence in our land. May they find much needed peace and joy and a new beginning filled with hope for the next millennium.

God bless and have a holiday season that is filled with wonder and a warmth from within.
