Greetings in The Lord from Les, Chris, Ellen, Brent, and Ola Snyder.
School is almost out, everyone is planting gardens, attending
graduations, and getting ready for summer activities with family.
We hope this newsletter finds you enjoying one or all of the above.
In July, Sons of
The Father will have been on the road for 21 years singing and spreading
the gospel across the United States. Already this year we have
been involved in 59 services in 5 states, including bible conferences,
revivals, a college chapel, an RV park, a senior adult resort, a senior
adult rally, a senior adult revival, a mission fundraiser, and a
national day of prayer rally. Coming up very soon for us is the
graduation ceremony for Luther Rice Seminary being held at First Baptist
Church, Atlanta, GA, a Habitat For Humanity Fundraiser, recording the
tracks for a new CD, and the National Campers on Mission Rally. We
feel blessed to be used by God in so many different types of events
throughout the year.
As you can see below our schedule does
have a few holes through until the end of the year that need filling.
Pastors/Staff please keep us in mind when scheduling your next concert,
revival, or any special events. Our earliest need is for concerts
around the SBC Convention in Orlando, FL. We are responsible for
our own convention expenses and for us to attend we need to be able to
minister in several places along the way.
Sons of The
Father will begin a new recording in a couple of weeks. We are
always excited about beginning a new recording. The creative
process is fun as you either take other songs and tweak them to make
them your own or even more so when you take your own original material
and make it into something that will be heard by, and hopefully minister
to, many people over the coming years. Brent has written 8 of the
12 songs that we have planned for this one. We would appreciate
your prayers about this endeavor as we continue to try to improve the
quality of what we do and want to always be the very best that we can
be.
2009 was a
tough year for our ministry as we lost our most dedicated supporter,
wife, and mother. Also, as most of you know, we had problems with
our travel vehicle. We blew the 700,000 mile engine, had it overhauled,
only to blow again after 300 miles. Besides the $13,000 engine
repair, there were additional expenses of $8,000 to fix and replace
other parts that would've caused later issues (a new radiator among
other things).
We want to
thank you for your prayer support of our ministry as we continue to try
to find and do His will for our lives. Sons of The Father would
also like to ask that you continue to pray and pass this newsletter on
to as many as possible who will also pray. Here are some specific
things that we need you to join us in prayer about:
Finances
for the new recording $10,000
Finances
to pay for the bus repairs $11,000 ($10,000 of the need has already been
met by individuals and churches)
