Our Mission
 

 

 


When our ministry began about 8 years ago, we set out to spread the Word of God and encourage Christians using the talents He gave us.  Our continued prayer is that God will use Paradise as a tool to reach the lost and encourage the found, all for His honor and glory. 

 

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering to God's grace in its various forms.”  (1 Peter 4:10)

 

Our Prayer Request 

 


We hope to continue singing, with God guiding and leading our ministry as He’s been, in order to continue to minister through music to those who know Jesus and need encouragement, as well as those who are missing the most precious thing they could have in their life…Jesus.  We encourage you to join us in leading those around you to Jesus.  "Go into the world and preach the good news" (Mark 16:15) in whatever way God leads you.  The only sight of Jesus some people may ever see is in YOU.  We pray you feel the urgency to reach a lost and dying world for Jesus...He is coming back soon.  We ourselves must be ready and help in reaching the hearts of those who are not ready.  Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven"  Matthew 5:16

Those who are persistent in prayer, please continue to pray for our ministry.  While we often pray that God will lead us, the devil tries to interfere... discouragement comes in many forms.  We continue to find strength in the Lord to persevere.  While sometimes discouragement may come our way, it may appear as though the price we pay isn't worth the hassle.  We as Christians know that this is not true...for great is your reward in Heaven.

 

Pray for those who care for our children while we are gone and the family members who are not always able to travel with us.  They are just as big a part of our ministry. Without their help we would not be able to continue our ministry.

 

What's New 

 


May 2009

Here comes the summer!  We are looking forward to warmer weather, green pastures, and fun singing for the Lord!  Praise be to God! 

January, 2009~Reflections

Looking back at our journey, there are so many things to reflect upon.  Let us consider for a moment the people around you daily as well as people you have just happened to cross paths with.  Think about those who have encouraged you and who have shared a little of God’s love with you, just enough to remind you just how much our God really does love us.  They reminded you perhaps by sharing scripture.  Maybe they reminded you of God’s great love by something they did.  Do you remember how the words or actions of that experience made you feel?  Refreshed?  Joyous?  Loved?  Encouraged?  God uses those around us to keep us encouraged.  Why not return the favor?  Pray that God uses you to keep others around you encouraged and that He continues to use those around you to keep you encouraged.  It is not always easy to do, but remember that all things are possible with God! 

Past Postings

Happy New Year!  Many see this change to a new year as a new beginning, almost like the Lord gives us when we pray that prayer and make Him the Lord of our life!  How exciting!  What is even more exciting is if our new year's resolution is about doing God's work.  Choose particular people you know, maybe they know the Lord but have gotten lost or maybe they don’t know the Lord at all, and resolve to help lead them to our Savior.  Choose special people who desperately need your prayer and resolve to pray for them every day.  There are many resolutions that can be made in the line of doing God's work which will not only strengthen your faith but also those around you.  Resolutions are not always easy to accomplish, so remember to pray for the strength to succeed.  "I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me.  The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." (Psalm 118:13-14)

_________________________________________

 

As our busy schedule slows down a bit, it provides an opportunity to think a little more about all of the blessings we have had throughout our ministry this year.  We have been blessed many times with the support we receive from old friends and new ones.  Listening to others sharing their stories of faith and of their path to salvation is such a blessing to us.  It uplifts us when we are able to witness God at work...when someone kneels at the alter and our brothers and sisters in Christ gather around them praying that their burdens be lifted, hearing the testimonies of how God has worked in so many lives and how He has answered so many prayers.  These are the good times and encouraging times.  We began this ministry to minister to others; however, it ministers to us in many ways.
