What a crazy, amazing month April has been! Our team has worked so hard! I am so proud of them... not to mention my amazing husband, Marco! I am one lucky woman :-) Well, this month started with Good Friday and Easter of course! Which was awesome! We had a church BBQ on Easter that followed with some crazy guy volleyball, which I made sure to stay away from! lol If you know what I mean.... Then, we had our first ever "Diamonds Conference"! It was a conference all about saving children, the diamonds. Heidi Baker, Angela Greenig, and MacLeods spoke and it was SO good! I got to lead worship for it and it was such an honor! Seriously, the harvest is all about the children! Did you know that over half the world's population is under the age of 15? AND I forgot the % BUT most of these children live in crazy, horrible poverty!!! That's our harvest :-)

So then let's see... oh yes! Then we had a music conference here at The Foundry, Indie Heaven. It was awesome full of artists and good workshops, then followed by this last week which was GMA week and the Dove awards in Nashville... if you don't know what GMA is, I suggest a good book, "Snakes in the Lobby" by Pastor Scott MacLeod. It will rock your world! GMA stands for the Gospel Music Association. This is a very important week in the Christian music industry. Artists, labels, promoters, managers and etc. come all over to Nashville to attend events and workshops during the week which is followed by the Dove Awards. Well for the first time in over 15 years, the GMA Week was canceled this year!!! Craziest thing ever! God is totally making over the Christian music industry and it's so awesome, it will have to be another blog.... So since the GMA week events were canceled we decided to invite all the artists that still came into town to do a major outreach and use our gifts to reach communites!!! So we also were hosting lots of anointed, talented musicians and bands this last week! It was awesome! We love Extreme Tour and SOG Crew! So to conclude this crazy month, we had one of the biggest and best outreaches ever on Clinton Street to reach out to our community with all of our special musicians and friends. It was an incredible way to end our month! Check out some of our pics! There were so many salvations and people getting touched by the presence of God! These are all people in our neighborhood and all our volunteers were just melting! It was so beautiful! The outreach was held right on our parking lot... We live in the heart of downtown Nashville between two projects, Jo Johnston and Andrew Jackson Projects.... Check it out....
