Word Quota

I've definitely hit my word quota for the day. Don't think I have much brain power left to blog much sensibly, as I've pretty much been on the phone for most of the past 5 hours.

It's all for an excellent reason though - my amateur evangelistic Christian CD project is finally getting off the ground. I've called everyone who has previously said they would like to be involved in producing the CD (no mean feat for me - I don't really like the phone that much!) and the production team and schedule for the next nine months is taking shape.

How do I possibly write about it? I'm too excited!

This is an excerpt from an email I wrote to someone recently about it...

The idea of the CD is that is will be something that churches can "give away" to non-Christian friends and family. The first 6-7 songs will be focussing on different aspects of the gospel and the last 7-8 will be focussing on Christian responses to the gospel. The booklet that will be included as the CD cover will have little explanations that you usually find describing why we picked each song etc, but is really intended to be a gospel tract of sorts. To top it all off, we are planning a launch party, to which everyone involved with the CD can invite as many friends and family as possible. Most of the songs from the CD will be performed live, with an interweaving MC style intro again to present the gospel as clearly as possible in the context of a CD launch. Everyone will also walk away with a free copy of the CD and churches will be able to buy groups of 10 CDs for $50 or some such amount to cover the cost of actually producing all the copies.

Phew! God's timing is just awesome though. As some of you know, a year ago, I would have been nowhere near the spiritual, emotional or logistical level needed to commit to this as a ministry. After all, this will be the next 9-12 months of my life and as such is something I'm passionately committed to!

I'd appreciate your prayers personally, as well as for everyone who is and will be involved in the future and just that God will be glorified in all this!
