Family Life Radio's Music Fest

Wow! A big thanks to all who volunteered for Family Life Radio's first ever Music Fest in Flint last weekend. It went fabulous and the weather cooperated most of the day. Compliments were extended to all areas of service from Family Life Radio, Central Church of the Nazarene, the bands and the patrons. Great job and hopefully this event will be back next year.

A message from the Director

Having been in the radio business I witnessed many occasions when God used what seemed to be ordinary individuals to touch people's lives at events/concerts just by instinctively using their God given servant's heart.

Sure the great music or moving message might have been the "deal sealer" in a new believer's journey with Christ but the big picture includes God's army of ordinary individuals such as you & me. Sometimes just by making everything run smoothly or conveniently, sometimes it's helping out the artist by simply selling their merchandise so they can continue to fund their ministry. Parking cars, selling tickets, ushering...these are all needed in order for these events to take place.

Event promoters do not have the connections with the communities to provide the people to service the needs of these events, this is where 4 the 1 Ministries will be utilized.

4 the 1 Minstries will be the connector between servant-hearted folks who love to serve (and go to events for free, I might add) & the event promoters that need them to make the event a success.

God has been training me up for this ministry, placed it on my heart and I look forward to see where he takes it.

I can't remember an event that I worked in the last 3 years when a volunteer didn't come up to me sometime during the event and thank me for allowing them to volunteer. Isn't that funny? They volunteer their time and make the effort to be there and...they thank ME! No, thank YOU! It's so great to know there are people out there that can enjoy serving so much that they thank me!

If you're one of these wonderful people, so full of Jesus that you can't help but want to give some of it away, you should be a part of 4 the 1 Ministries. If God has placed the gift of serving in your soul, this is an outlet for which you can use it.

Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.
