Live From The Firehouse Webcast
Live Broadcast Airing 1.26.09 @ 11am (PCT); 1pm (CST). I will be going into
the studio to produce a new worship project for worship leader, Paul
Stephens, and we're asking you to join us through a live webcast hosted
at www.forgottenstories.org. We will attempt to record an album in three days!
During these recording days I will also be sharing more about a new DVD/CD project produced with various speakers and worship leaders called The Invitation that captures the stories of 14,000 families who live in a city dump in the Philippines.
(see page 2 for more details)
How can you participate?
We will be going live January 26-28 beginning at @ 11am (PCT); 1pm (CST), so be sure to stop by www.forgottenstories.org and watch as we work in the studio. Right here on PraiseCharts Live and Worship Team Training, we will simulcast this live broadcast.
You can ask us about worship leading, producing a record as well as any questions for the musicians. Members of the band have played for artists such as MercyMe, Shane & Shane, Phil Wickham, Tommy Walker, Vicki Beeching, Evan Wickham, The Kry, Adam Watts, Pink, Hillary Duff, Jennifer Lopez, Herbie Hancock, Justo Almario, Peter Cetera, Sergio Mendes, Sheryl Crow and Simon Phillips. Share with us the forgotten stories you've encountered of those who live in poverty around the world, watch for special guests and possibly interact with a few of the children who live in this city dump.

"The Invitation" is a visual and musical experience that captures stories in a city dump where over 14,000 families live in the Philippines. On our adventure we discovered children who were overcoming unbeatable odds. We were challenged to ask ourselves, "What would happen if we accepted the greatest invitation in history?"
What happens when you attempt to record an album in 3 days and raise awareness for 14,000 families who live in a city dump in the Philippines? Check it out through a live webcast that will take you behind the scenes.
What happens when worship and compassion collide?

"The Invitation" is a visual and musical experience that captures stories in a city dump where over 14,000 families live in the Philippines. On our adventure we discovered children who were overcoming unbeatable odds. We were challenged to ask ourselves, "What would happen if we accepted the greatest invitation in history?"
For
the last decade I've had the privilege of dancing with my Heavenly
Father in the midst of a hurricane known as POVERTY. I've witnessed
countless forgotten stories that have rocked everything I believe about
my faith. I've been challenged to go deeper to embrace the core of what
causes an outpouring of hope to the hopeless, love to the unloved and
peace in the midst of suffering.
Not long ago I traveled into a place with my closest friends where we captured a visual and musical experience of forgotten stories in a city dump where over 14,000 families live in the Philippines. On our adventure we discovered children who were overcoming unbeatable odds. We were challenged to ask ourselves, "What would happen if we accepted the greatest invitation in history?"
Each time I walk the dirt roads of the poor it's as if the Father extends an invitation to show me a true life of compassion through unique expressions of worship. I believe this connection between worship and compassion moves us to sit with a child in the slums, save a young woman from slavery, walk a road less traveled to a place we've never been to help someone we've never met, to sing a song we've never sung and believe again that the Church can really change the world.
Forgotten Stories is birthed out of the experience and is an awareness movement focused on sharing the needs of people who live in extreme poverty. In fact, proceeds from the first DVD/CD, "The Invitation," will go directly to help those living in the city dump outside of Metro Manila.
