Doulos performance

We were truly blessed to be a part of Calvary Chapel Living Water this summer. Our friends and pastors in Okinawa, Rick and Tom, came from there and we had the opportunity to be have the Bass Player from this band visit Okinawa. ..he is heading back to be a student at the bible College. Praise the Lord. Enjoy this praise and worship...they are so awesome...the boys really have enjoyed being around the CC Living Water Youth both in Cali and in Oki...If you want more of this music, visit their youth Web site at http://e3gyouth.blogspot.com/

Here is their message on this performance....
This past Sunday was truly a blessing, as the congregation was able to see DOULOS preform LIVE. Doulos is a group made up of some of our young men in our fellowship, whose only purpose for the past few months has been to SERVE (Doulos=servant) the Lord through music.

As the Lord is doing great and new things in some of the bands members lives: Daniel(bass player) will be heading to Okinawa Japan to attend the Bible College, and Fikki (MC) will be heading into the Navy, they decided to play there last time in front of an audience in whose prayer and support has meant so much to each and everyone of them.

Please lift each one of them in your prayers as God is bringing new seasons into many of there lives..!! And hey.. If God could take these guys and use them.. then He definetly can use you too.

Velarde Family

Meet one of the most wonderful families on the planet today...the Velarde family. They have a love for people that is unbelievable. Sometimes, after reading other blogs and seeing their photos..we wonder how they are able to do so much and still have a smile and love for Christ. They are wonderful...Please keep them in prayer as they are leaving for Italy to start a new work for Christ. We have their link to their blog on the right. Click here for more information.
