MUSIC WITH A MISSION
USING MUSIC AS A TOOL TO UNITE
Heart of the City, since 1996, has been bringing a message, model and experience of multi-ethnic worship and Biblical unity to thousands of people through the live performances and many recordings of the multi-ethnic, multi-denominational and multi-generational Heart of the City Worship Band.
In a time when divisions are increasing and becoming more entrenched, the need is great in both large and small ways to build bridges in the name of Jesus. Their Mission is “To bring a message, model and experience of multi-ethnic worship and Biblical unity to Christians, and the Gospel to those who are not Christians yet.”
Through the 11 different ethnicities represented in the Heart of the City Worship Band, along with the generational and denominational diversity amongst them, they seek to model that unity in their music, incorporating styles such as Native American, East Indian, Gospel, Urban Contemporary, Reggae, Salsa, Bossa Nova and others.
Now, since 2018, they are continuing this mission through hosting stylistically and ethnically diverse concerts at the Heart of the City Music Factory in Anoka, Minnesota.

We Speak Life Project
We're excited about the songs with the beauty and power of the Native American-style music on this CD! But what really makes this project extra special and unique, is that we've included the testimonies of six Native Americans - 3 women and 3 men - from different generations, different tribes and different locations, sharing how their lives were changed when they surrendered their lives to Jesus!
Help Enable Us to Give This Project Away to hundreds of Native Americans!
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. The Reservations are filled with spiritual strongholds of poverty, pain, abuse and addiction with roots that are complex, historical and so difficult to uproot. But as heard in these six stories, Jesus can truly tear up these roots of death and bring new life and hope through the Gospel!
A Generous Matching Grant for this CD!
A generous donor who heard about this project, is willing to donate $2500.00 in matching funds to help us get this project in the hands of Native Americans!
We are still putting all the basic costs together, but we are estimating about $5.00 a CD. We also plan to make them available on flash-drives so that those who no longer have CD players can plug them into their phones or computers. If we can order them in larger quantities, they will cost us less. So, we hope, in light of this $2500.00 matching grant, to raise another $2500.00 that would allow us to print 1000 of these CD's in a first printing.
If you are willing to help us, we would greatly appreciate it! And for every donation of $50.00 or more, we would like to also send you a copy of the CD so that you can be blessed by it and also potentially share it with others!
Your $50.00 will be doubled to $100 and will allow us to give 20 CD's away!
If you want to purchase or download a CD for yourself, you can follow the link below.
To donate, you can mail us a check to Heart of the City Ministries, PO Box 284, Osseo, MN 55369 or you can make a quick online credit card donation by clicking the link below. Whatever way you choose to donate, please let us know that you want to designate this donation for the We Speak Life CD so that we know it's not for a general donation.
With the upcoming release of our We Speak Life CD, we have finally uploaded to YouTube the video we recorded at the Music Factory of the title song "We Speak Life". Please take a few minutes to watch it and then, help spread the ministry of this song and Heart of the City, by sharing it with as many people as you can on Facebook and other social media sites!
