Zack Martin picked up a few messages out there in cyber land on IGA about Ken Rich keeping this site going. My Wife Marty added her two cents worth to the comments over at Zack's page. I commented on it as well....  But I felt that this should go out to the membership and so I am posting this via a community blog.  Here goes.....

Thank you Marty and Zack.  Now here are some numbers.. but first let me say that where IGA is at now is not where Ken Rich would like to take us. He envisions a lot of things that Indie Gospel Artists can do for its members. It is incredible, second to none. Here is what I like about Ken's vision.. It is not quantity that he wants, but Quality Service.  And he pays for it all for each one of us. There are over 600 members here on IGA now and each one of us has a page, Ken pays for that. The Lord has led him to do this out of his own pocket purely out of Love for the Lord and us, to help us in our ministries.

Before I get started on this numbers, I wanted to tell a quick story....  A little old lady got stalled on the train tracks and was worried that the train was going to destroy her only transportation. She tried to push it herself but to no avail. But across the tracks there was a busload of Football Players who together ran over to the car and literally picked that car up and moved it off the tracks. Do you see the anology of this? It is the same thing with IGA.  Now here are the numbers.

There ar over 600 members in IGA and to me I think $5 every 3 months is a cheap donation to keep this site going and help Ken to  improve it beyond even his wildest dreams. Wouldn't you? Hmm? ... Ok So if 200 members sent in their $5 for 3 months that would be great, and they wouldn't have to send any again until the 4th month.  Then the 2nd Team in the second month sent in their $5 for 3 months and then they wouldn't have to do it again until the 5th month.. the finally on the 3rd month the 3rd team sends in their $5 Donation to IGA to help out and they wouldn't have to send any until the 6th month. So now, every month there would be 200 of us sending in $5 to help out IGA in improving and expanding our horizons in the Indie Gospel Music World.

To prove my point.. I use paypal and it takes me 2 minutes to do it all.. its 10:15 now ..... ooops it took almost 3 minutes ... ok so I'm slow....now i'm done for another 3 months... I sent in my first 3 month $5 donation.. simple... You can do it just that easy too. I believe in what IGA is doing for the Lord and the Lord's ministries through us.  Hey, as bad off as we are at the moment I can still afford $5..... Now its your turn.
