In real life there are those who have succeeded and worked hard to make it. They gave all they had, and then some. And there are others who gave and got nothing but grief from the Lord's "own" by not recognizing the Lord's OWN Evangelists. I received a letter stating such from a very top notch Evangelist who is in our family,  What a shame. To have the Lord's Evangelistic Ministry shutdown by the enemy in our own territory. 

Now, WE take what we have and use that information from the enemy and use it against him! We are in the midst of a battle. A battle that pertains to US! No, not the guy down the street or in another city, but here, RIGHT HERE!  Let me explain...

First, we are in the process of coming to the point of Releasing our first Charity Project as a Family of Indie Artists. That is a good thing. WE need to be behind this. Why? Because it is US. It is not joe blow doing something ... ITS US! It is a project of the Lord! Order a copy of the package, (Yeah its a package) " The Sound of Hope" The pre-orders alone will help in getting the Word out on that project plus it will generate info on the other project that deals directly with the problem I mentioned above, Providing a Way for the Lord's independent Evangelists to use their God Given Talent to minister to the masses. 

Second, WE really have an experienced crew among us. What is being done is the Creation and the putting together " The Love Offering Tour".  This will be a cross-country Tour in venues and churches with known and unknown Indie Artists and some from right here in Indie Gospel Artists Family. Once this " The Love Offering Tour" begins it will surely bring in those churches who are scared of bringing in outside Evangelists who minister falsely, which is the churches' concern.  I see this Tour as nothing but positive and Harvest Working Ground that is fertile. But there is a catch. The Churches want to have some kind of recommendation to let someone in. WE need venues and churches to be able to go to as The Tour goes across the country ministering. Those recommendations will have to come from YOU. YOU are our fingers to reach out to the places to bring the Tour to.  Check with Ken Rich, Ed Pettersen, or BigJake to help.

Now the third point. WE are a Family of Indie Gospel Artists. and I for one can express that thought for hours.  What we, as Indie Artists really need are a couple of factors to be able to make visible our Gift from the Lord to be used correctly. The first step we have, thanks to Ken Rich for beginning this venture call " Indie Gospel Artists " into a reality.  Now we have one place to showcase our material. But, what about Radio airplay?  Well, I am trying to do just that through " JB's Indie Gospel Top Ten Chart and Radio Show" I have already exposed over 40 songs this year (since 9-11-2012) and I still have 9 months to go. But What about the other Indie Radio Stations? Ken is working on that possibility but it will take some time to get it up and running, in the meantime is there something else we can do?  I told you, We have some pretty knowledgeable people here at Indie Gospel Artists.

Remember the song, "Where The River Runs " ?  It made #1 on JB's Indie Gospel Top Ten in like 5 weeks. Pretty cool. Laurie Marks Vincen t is the lady that did that song. She is also a very well versed artist in the rules and regulations of the music business. To make a long story short, Laurie is now working in a Christian business that can help every single one of us, Today! . She has access to over 1000 Indie Radio Stations and programs such as Mine. You need to talk to her to get it all. but here is the gist of it.

www.OnChristianRadio.com   What they have done is create a library and a service for indie artists. They will categorize your song, they will promote it to the radio stations and shows on their lists, and then there is some more stuff they do for you, and the service is quite reasonable.  Please check  with Laurie Marks Vincen t and who knows, this maybe just the avenue to go? This I know, I have spent thousands trying to get my material out and got nothing but a bunch of "Atta boy" while they took my money and laughed all the way to the bank. My wife, who is also an Artist and Songwriter also experience the same thing. Do Your Due Dilligence and check out this url and talk to Laurie.  You can contact her on Her page on Indie Gospel Artists here is the url to that page ....

You will see just under her picture " Send a Message "  send her a message and ask her about OnChristianRadio.com and she can explain it to you.  Let me tell you, I wish I had something like this working for me way back when. Please contact her soon... Thank you...

One last thing, I am reminded of something, a scripture, it was Paul that talked about it. "The Body" We are many members (literally) and the Lord always provides everything we need, we just have to find it and work it. Well, He did just that for us here at Indie Gospel Artists. We are a Body of Believers trying to do the will of the Lord and The Father . Everyone of us Can do just a little and it will bring in the increase for the whole ... OH Wow! OH Wow!!!Praise You Jesus!!  Excuse me while I whoop and holler!  I just got it!  Move over Satan, you is gonna be whapperdood bigtime.. WE WIN! . .. Let me show you what I just saw. 

Paul's statement in 1 Cor 12:20-26  ...  20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it."  

Now match that with the Feeding of the 5,000 ... What did the Lord do? He provided, but the people were not fed until he broke the bread and fish and gave them to the disciples to distribute the food to the people!   Look at the bolded line I said just above as I was writing ...

"Everyone of us Can do just a little and it will bring in the increase for the whole .." 

WE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS! BET ON IT ... IN THE NAME OF JESUS WE CAN.

YOU CAN HELP

1. contact Ken and ask how you can help , what is the gift you can do
