1. Katie Heckel- Colors of Hope
We finished a new album for Katie before she headed off to Ghana, Africa for the next 15 months to live with orphans there at Rafiki Orphanage. I will be posting her new CD to Noisetrade.com soon so you can download it and leave a tip which will directly support her work there.
2. My wife and I are living in Memphis, TN for the Summer working at Service Over Self, which is an urban home repair camp. We work with youth groups from around the county who come to serve in forgotten neighborhoods like Binghampton. Repairing houses and sharing the Gospel in word and deed. I work in the kitchen and my wife Katie works in the office. We also get lots of opportunity to lead worship.
3. Matt King and I got started on a new album which will be completed this coming Fall.
4. We had a great time playing a backyard porch concert with Abbye and Jeff Pates here in Memphis. There's an community of Christians incarnating the Gospel with their very lives and we visited them with original songs. It was a beautiful evening! I'll post pictures on my facebook page soon.
5. My friends made pancakes and bacon for me this morning for a special birthday breakfast! Yep, today is my birthday, I'm 31 years old today. And I'm very excited to see what Jesus has in store in the years to come. More than ever, my heart's desire is to follow him.
There's a quick update from here. The Summer is super busy so I'll post when I can. Hope you're all having a great one too!
