Merry Christmas!

I am flying out tonight to head to the Urbana Missions Conference in St. Louis to get ready to lead worship. 18,000 students from around the globe will be gathering at this conference to learn about God's mission for the world and their role in it. We would love your prayers! Here is a picture of the stage getting set up from where I'll be leading. Can you imagine the sound of thousands of voices praising our Creator in this stadium?!

The conference takes place from Dec. 27-Jan. 1. There will be live streaming for certain parts of the conference including main session speakers and theater and dance pieces. Unfortunately, the musical worship will not be streamed, but you can get a small taste of Urbana if you want to listen in online. For live viewing and a schedule of the conference events, check out www.urbana.org/live. You can also check out our worship team bios, the Urbana worship CD our team recorded, and this video of our team singing Revelation Song, sung in 3 different languages.


I also want to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have given financially toward my role with Consumed Ministries that allows me to share the Gospel through music at events like this. THANK YOU! I am honored to be partnering with you in advancing God's Kingdom! If you haven't given yet but still want to, you can go to www.consumedministries.com/giving. All donations are tax-deductible. I have set a goal to raise $2,500 more by the end of the year and have raised $1,450 of that so far. Thank you for your generosity and investing in changed lives!

Thank you!!  As 2012 comes to an end and I step into another year of serving people in the Twin Cities area, I want to thank you so much for making your resources available for the work of God’s kingdom through Consumed Ministries and my role in music ministry. I am thankful for your sacrificial partnership in this ministry and pray you are encouraged and inspired by God’s work in the stories of changed lives from the updates I've been able to pass on from this year.

Consumed Ministries: Consumed Ministries was started in 2004 by Jamie Miller, who I met when we were on staff together with InterVarsity 5 years ago. Consumed Ministries exists to share, both in words and actions, that Jesus Christ desires to give life to the full (John 10:10). We highly value our relationships with God & people believing through the context of relationships we can provide the resources, speaking opportunities, times of prayer and worship, and training to effectively lead people into the abundant life Jesus promised.

My Role: My role with Consumed is to coach/train/develop young worship leaders by bringing them with me wherever I lead worship- inside prisons, homeless shelters, church facilities, etc. I am very excited for this opportunity as it gives me freedom to fulfill God’s calling in my life through music ministry: to raise up the next generation of worship leaders while combining my passion for sharing the Gospel with others through music.

Looking ahead and year-end giving: The fruits of this ministry would not be possible without your prayers and support. Would you consider giving a year-end donation to my role with Consumed Ministries as I continue to share the Gospel through music? 100% of your donation is tax deductible!


Your partnership in my role with Consumed Ministries is much more than appreciated...it is a vital aspect of our ministry and we would not be where we are without your prayers, encouragement, and support. May this coming year be full of the Kingdom’s advancing!

Merry Christmas!
