Yesterday, during Give to the Max Day, we were able to not only meet our $2,500 Matching Grant goal for our "We Speak Life" Project, but also received extra funds for the ministry thanks to generous donors like you! </p>
<p>The Reservations are filled with spiritual strongholds of poverty, pain, abuse and addiction with roots that are complex, historical and extremely difficult to uproot. Additionally, COVID-19 has further isolated and affected tribes spiritually, mentally and physically. </p>
<p>Out of this need, we have recently released our new CD Project “We Speak Life” which includes songs with the beauty and power of the Native American-style music, as well as, the testimonies of 6 Native Americans - 3 women and 3 men - from different generations, different tribes and different locations, sharing how their difficult, painful lives were changed when they surrendered their lives to Jesus. </p>
<p>This Project presents the hope, healing and power of the Gospel in a unique way that has great potential to transform many more lives like those of these six Jesus followers on this project. </p>
<p>A generous donor is willing to donate $2,500.00 in matching funds to help us get this project in the hands of Native Americans. For example, $50.00 will be doubled to $100 and allows us to give 20 CD's away. </p>
<p>The gifts given during Give to the Max Day 2020 will help enable us to give this project away to hundreds of Native Americans. </p>
<p>Thank you for your generous support!</p>Heart of the City Ministriestag:heartofthecity.org,2005:Post/64779862020-11-14T20:58:56-06:002020-11-14T20:58:56-06:00Kofi & The Fire Keepers - African Reggae!<p>It was an amazing night of African Reggae/Gospel music, with guests Brian Powers aka "The Snowman" from the Snowman Band and Teah Neepaye - the Seeker!

What a great team and what a great week! We held 5 concerts in two different Reservation Jails and saw almost 30 individuals pray to receive Jesus as their Savior in those jails!! We also had the joy of singing and praying over our Lakota friend, Theresa Eastman's land where the footings have now been laid for the Rosebud House of Prayer for All Nations that she received a vision about when she was in jail in 2011!! It was a powerful experience as we stood on that prairie hill praying and singing "We Are One in the Spirit"! We are so excited to see the vision for this House of Prayer finally coming to fruition! </p>
<p>On this trip we also had the chance to perform for and minister to about 50 students from four different states who were at Lakota Hope as part of a youth mission's trip. Once again, we felt God lead us to provide the opportunity for these "churched" kids to truly surrender to Jesus and begin following Him. The response was great with about 25 kids making a decision to surrender their lives to Jesus! One of our singers, Cyrena, also felt that God was telling her that some of the youth were contemplating suicide and she ended up having a powerful intervention in the lives of at least one teenager there!</p>Heart of the City Ministriestag:heartofthecity.org,2005:Post/59596872019-11-13T17:53:24-06:002019-11-22T18:14:20-06:00David Belt and Rose & Rae-Double Billing<p>Kelsey Rae and Kenzie Rose brought the heart, passion and worshipful music and beauty of a sister duo on stage.
