Success - Backwards and Forward
in 2008, All Praise Ministries turned 10 years old. Wow. I could go on and on about those ten years, but I'm not one to look back very much. There are some that say you need to remember from where you came in order not to repeat your mistakes. But God tells me we can be renewed everyday, and that's how I choose to live. So, that said, lets look at All Praise in 2008 and down the road into the future.
Over the last year, so many people have contributed to the efforts of All Praise Ministries, and for that we are thankful. But the contributions I most adore are the prayers that so many offered up in 2008. I can't tell you how many people reached out to simply say, "we've/I've been praying for you," or "what can we pray about for you?" Those people showed a willingness and an intuitiveness to help where we needed it the most, in the spiritual realm. Bless you. It's my prayer that you'll keep us on your prayer list in 2009.
Of course, those of you who gave monetarily did so because you also believed in our mission of helping churches and other music ministries reach the lost with their efforts. And that's exactly what we've been doing..

Because of your generosity in 2008, All Praise Ministries was able to:
You can also join All Praise's efforts by contributing your talents. We are always looking for the next great leader, but also for local musicians, vocalists and technicians to help when needed in all areas of the US and Canada. It's a great way to use your talents for God outside of your current ministry and make some extra money in the process. If you feel you're qualified, you can tell me so here.
If you'd like to keep up with what's going on inside All Praise Ministries, join the E-Letter team. We won't send you a bunch of emails or share your info with anyone. What we will do is send you tips and ideas that will help you do what you do even better...and it's free!
Again, thank you for helping make the last year the best one in our ten year history. Amanda and I are confident that 2009 will be filled with even greater success and more of God's people coming to know Him through our efforts together.
Thank you and God bless you!
