New Recording Project

Hey Everybody! Exciting things are in the works for RESCUE, and we need your prayers! As you probably know from past Prayer Bulletins, RESCUE is facing a transportation challenge. Over this past week, "Over" has put in an incredible amount of research to find a more reliable and better suited vehicle to fit RESCUE's present and future transportation needs. While we now have a good grasp of what type of vehicle would fit this need, the challenge now lies in the finances to purchase it. We strongly want to trust the Lord for Him to fill this need, and do not want to get ahead of His will. Rather than purchasing something right away, we have decided to fix "Ginger", our existing bus, sell her, and put that money towards a better vehicle sometime in the Fall.

More exciting news: We are starting a two-part new recording project. The recording project will start this Thursday July 14th and "Over" will be buried in the arranging and production of the new songs. The first part will be a 4 or 5 song sampler which will be released sometime in October and there will be a combined release concert/fundraising event at that time to help raise funds for the new bus. The full length album will be released sometime in December. A project like this will require a lot of planning. As a ministry, RESCUE will need all of the wisdom and time management skills that we can get. We'll be working very closely with one another throughout this time, and we'll all need to give our very best in whichever role we are asked to fill. Even if all of the above goes as planned, it will still be a dismal failure if God is not in it. As we are bathing this new project in prayer, we ask that you would join with us.We had a wonderful Sunday at Crossroads Community Church in Vancouver, WA. We were extremely blessed by the overwhelming support of that congregation as we sang two songs in both of their morning services and performed a full concert that night. It was an incredible encouragement to us as members of RESCUE as we shook hands after the programs with the precious people of that church. As things were beginning to wind down Sunday night, one of the members of Crossroads shouted to us that we needed to follow him...NOW! We didn't know exactly what he was up to, or if we were being setup for something, but he just kept insisting. So we finally got over our irritation and followed him as he led us outside and pointed up into the skies. I was personally amazed as I saw the most brilliant and complete rainbow I have ever seen as it stretched majestically over Vancouver. It was dazzling and I saw that it was actually about three or four rainbows in one (I counted).

The gentleman who led us outside turned to us as we stood there with our mouths gaping at the sight, and he said, "I just couldn't let you miss something that beautiful." Lord, as we experience the dazzling beauty of your glorious light as seen through the particular prism of our individual lives help us to be at once insistent as we compel others to experience you, while also being open to the deeper and richer blessings of a more mature relationship with You.
