For many years now, God has gifted Milton with
the ability to write music. In the past several years, God has changed the
lyrics Milton writes. Now, all of his music is inspired by God with a
message in each song. Not only has God gifted Milton with the musical
talents, He's also inspired in Milton a love for the Bible and a desire to speak
about God's Word.
Our vision, planted in our hearts by God, is that
this music can be heard around the world and that it will reach into the depths
of peoples souls and plant a seed of salvation in each and every one that hears
it. That is our ultimate goal, to save lost souls.
So what's our plan? We've created a bullet
list of steps to take:
-
Work to schedule more engagements where
Milton can share in song and testimony.
-
Create a quality CD
-
Work to put that CD in the hands of radio
stations.
-
Work to put that CD in the hands of
publishers and/or already acclaimed artists.
Our first step in the plan is to create a radio
quality CD that we will be able to send out to radio stations and to perspective
publishers and/or musicians. Our belief is that God has inspired Milton to
write these 'message' songs to be heard around the world. But in order to
do that, we have to get a quality recording of this music created and be able to
send it out. Our ultimate goal is still in the Lord's hands, but we are
open to whatever venue He has planned.
So
now you ask, what is the storehouse?
It's
an account we've opened and dedicated solely to the purpose of this ministry and
for raising funds initially for the production of this CD. We estimate the
cost of recording and production, including travel expenses to be approximately
$10,000. So that's our first goal in our ministry.
Our
church is kicking off raising funds for this ministry by having a Barbecue
dinner fundraiser on June 19, 2010. Milton will also be performing a music
service that night. The location is, Briarwood Baptist
Church, 1872 Willie
Ray Road, Cabot, AR 72023. Time will be 6:00 pm. All proceeds from
this night will be given to the ministry towards this CD fund. We would
like to invite any and all to come celebrate with us this night. Come eat,
enjoy and hear what the Lord is doing in our lives. If you would like to
be a partner in this ministry, I've included a Paypal link below where you can
make any contributions online. Even if you can't make a monetary
contribution, please keep our ministry in your prayers. As much as
anything else, prayer is most important.
We
thank you in advance for your contribution, for your prayers and for your love.
God bless you all. Sincerely, Milton
and Karla Lee
Update~ June 24,
2010:
Our God is an awesome God! Thanks in part to our church
family and the generous offerings we received in April and then again at
the June BBQ fundraiser, we are over two-thirds of the way to completing
our goal to get this CD produced. So I feel strongly that we will
be able to schedule this production by this fall. And hopefully,
by Christmas, we'll have a new quality CD in hand. If you'd like
to listen online to the service from June 19th or April 25th, you can go
to http://www.cabotbaptist.org/audio.asp
and just select the service. The service on April 25th was a
Sunday morning service in which Milton prepared a sermon along with
sharing a few of his songs. I am so proud of the man God is
forming Milton into. He has fallen in love with Jesus and His
Spirit overflows in him. I'll try to keep you
updated on our status from time to time. Please keep us in your
prayers.
In Christ Love,
Karla Lee
