Late breaking news….

There has been a sudden ground swell of interest in singers singing in St. James Church in Medjugorje.  You can think of it as the “His Work in Progress Choir”.  God must want this to happen because of the interest I am receiving. 

Let me give you more of the overall mission concept.  Some days we will distribute food and other days distribute clothing, all interspersed with bicycle donations.  We are also planning a singing agenda along with the mission work.  There will be days of singing at the refugee camp and a day of singing at Mothers Village with the culmination of singing at the English mass in St James church.   We then need to round out our mission by what I call the ministry of presence; by simply being there to listen, to give a hug, to give hope and maybe a pair of shoes.  

So, if you are a singer or musician that loves performing for the Lord then you know you will want the chance to perform at this special church.  Imagine the Queen of Peace smiling at you!  So tell a friend, tell your parish of this unique opportunity to serve and to sing.  This will be a dynamic mission trip that we hope to film.

Doesn’t this sound like a fun and rewarding experience?  This just may be your once in a lifetime experience and I am so excited to pass this opportunity on to you.
