Music Missions: Regeneration of a Cultural Lapse
For over a decade Generation 2 generation has been involved in the raising up and discipleship of the next generation. .One way to disciple the next generation is through music.
We are concerned that much of the Christian music scene for young people is not even close to the standard of what the world is developing and giving the next generation.
We are entering into an era, after 12 years of experience of reaching the persecuted and unreached nations, of developing a music ministry department to Generation 2 generation. Our vision is to create a new movement within the Christian Music Industry.
A year ago we felt it was time to start to distribute quality Christian alternatives to the unreached and persecuted nations, as all they have is what the world is giving them.
God has really blessed us this year, and has put us in contact with amazing people that have been willing to help. These people span from Artists, presidents of prominent labels, Christian TV presenters and a Music School.
After 12 years of missions we have our first music missions trip coming in October, to Indonesia. We will be taking a number of Artists and media people to do outreach gigs in Jakarta and open air outreach in Papua, but what we are REALLY interested in is the artist to artist mentoring we want to provide for local artists. We aim to help with their training and be a part of better equipping them over a few years.
This training will not just be with music but in Godly Character, as gifts without Godly character will crumble, but with Godly character the gifts should flourish.
For years music artists have supported movements and ministries in Africa, which is great, but while Africa has many desperate needs almost 75% of the nation is saved.
The least amount of financial giving goes towards reaching the unreached and persecuted nations. Only .0007% of giving to missions, goes to the unreached, not even .0007 percent of all giving, only of giving towards missions.
The nations that are the most unreached and persecuted these days are Islamic nations, mostly between China and Israel. We believe and hope that this music ministry could be a massive tool for artists and labels to start to get involved with reaching these nations.
We have seen and heard of amazing things happening through music we have provided to missionaries within these nations. In one nation about 200 Muslims gather to dance to the Christian music.
This is the time for an uprising within the Christian Music industry, for a network of people to strive to help raise up quality local Christian artists to provide alternatives within these nations.
The Bible says , “Go and make disciples of all nations” Matt 28 v 19. This is our aim; to make disciples not just converts.
Pray with us as we go and make disciples of artists throughout the world, who can reach the Muslims, the Hindu, the Buddhists especially those who have never heard the gospel once.
Let’s see a fire spread through Christian music that takes the worship of Jesus to the nations.
