From The Manager’s Desk- 2012- Well Underway!

With the year off to a fast start, things are busy here...probably just like at your house! Annual receipts went out to donors recently and hopefully you received your copy, as applicable, for tax purposes, etc. Included in the mailing was a copy of our 2012 survey and a return envelope. Please take the time to fill out your copy and send it back soon. It's a great help in tracking "how we are doing." If you don't receive your annual receipt in a timely way, please let us know so we can check on that for you. And, if you did not send a financial gift in 2011 (but would like to give us some feedback), feel free to call the office at 254-5565 or email info@kjol.org and we will be happy to send you a survey. OR...simply go online at www.kjol.org and fill out the survey online!

Valentine’s Day is coming soon and we have a fun contest underway with TWO great Grand Prizes. Be listening for details or check out the contest at http://www.kjol.org/news_events/contests.asp. Good stuff. REALLY good stuff!

Believe it or not, we are already working on our annual fundraiser - Sharathon 2012. The dates we've chosen are April 19-21 (Thursday through Saturday.) Those dates coincide with the 30th Anniversary of the original KJOL, which was launched on-air on April 24th, 1982. How time flies! God has been so faithful to us and it is both exciting and humbling to see what He has done for - and through - local Christian radio.

Meantime, thanks in advance and keep us in your prayers as we anticipate what the Lord will do in the coming weeks, months and years. We appreciate it!

Blessings,

Ken Andrews, Manager

Kurt’s ♫Music Notes♫- More “New Kids On The Block”

It’s time once again to introduce you to some new faces who are making great new music!

Mark Harris & Maddison
“An Offering”

Mark Harris was a founding member of 4HIM until they retired in 2006.  Mark continues to write and record as a solo artist, but in 2009 he introduced us to his daughter, Maddison, who joined him on his Christmas album.  Now at the age of 15, Maddison is back, singing a beautiful duet with her dad, “An Offering,” on his latest release, Stronger In The Broken Places.  (Maddison’s photo taken from her YouTube video.)
For You, I will bow
Fall on my knees
For You, I will give
My life to be
An offering

Rachel Chan
“Even Here”

16 year old Rachel Chan is the daughter of author and former pastor Francis Chan.  An honor student at a California public high school, Rachel has a mature voice beyond her tender years.  You may recall her Christmas song “Hey! It’s Not My Birthday!”  She co-wrote all the songs on her debut album “Go.”  “I learned in a tangible way that relying on the Lord for my lyrics was the only way to create something productive.” 

Her album also includes a cute—and insightful—tune called “Prove It.”  Here’s part of the lyrics:
You could send me flowers
Text me poetry for hours
Even write a sappy song
I’m not sayin’ it’d be wrong
But I won’t believe it’s love
Until you prove it….to my dad!

Worship Central
“At Your Name”

Al Gordon, Tim Hughes

Tim Hughes is one of Britain’s best known worship leaders, having started his career with Matt Redman.  You may recognize his worship anthem “Here I Am To Worship.”  He now leads worship at Holy Trinity Brompton, an Anglican church in London.  And he leads a worship school with his colleague Al Gordon called “Worship Central,” from which we get his latest musical offering.  He co-wrote “At Your Name” with Phil Wickham.
At Your Name, the mountains shake and crumble
At Your Name, the oceans roar and tumble
At Your Name, angels will bow the earth will rejoice
Your people cry out
Lord of all the earth we shout Your Name
Filling up the skies with endless praise
Yahweh, Yahweh

Matt Hammitt
“Trust”

We told you about Matt Hammitt last October, but he has a new song on the radio, and his story is compelling.  His youngest child Bowen was born with a severe heart defect (Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome) in 2010.  Bowen is now 1½ years old and faces one more major surgery in 2013.  Matt is lead singer of the group Sanctus Real.  His latest song “Trust” is from his album Every Falling Tear.
Lest I'm tempted to forget
I'll tie Your love around my neck
I'll write Your words upon my heart
Lord, I won't forget how good You are
I will trust you, Lord, with all my heart
And I won't forget how good you are

Lindsay McCaul
“Say My Name”

Lindsay McCaul debuted in 2009 with her popular song “O Bless The Lord.”  Born in Texas, raised in Florida, she attended Moody Bible Institute, where she came to grips with an eating disorder and found healing.  Since college, she has been a worship leader with Harvest Bible Chapel (James McDonald of “Walk In The Word”).  Last September she married Mark Mattingly.
You say my name and tell me I can walk away
From all my fears and yesterday
I can hear You calling
You say my name and tell me there’s a better place
Lead me to Your sweet embrace
I can hear You calling

No Other Name
“Let It Start With Me”

This trio debuted in 2011, featuring the brother-sister duo of Sam & Laura Allen and Chad Smith.  They chose "No Other Name" based on Acts 4:12.  For 2012, they are planning a “Let It Start With Me” mission trip, as well releasing a book by the same name.  The song has been adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention as its missions anthem.
In the streets of every village,
Every city so in towered
Empty people live in darkness
Every minute every hour
Hear the cry of desperation
From a billion broken hearts
With in need so great, how do we even start?
Let it start with me
