In speaking with Captain Rusack, one of the US Army Chaplains in Iraq we are currently supporting with Bibles, Bible Studies and more, I asked him a serious question: "What is it we could do for you outside of the scope of Bibles and Bible Study material that would be beneficial to all of your soldiers over there?” 

It was after speaking with Chaplain Chris I thought, why stop with Chaplain Chris if we have the ability to do more?  If we got others involved in our undertaking we could strengthen the blessing and perhaps continue on to other chaplains and their respective soldiers.

This is exactly what has happened and with the help and generosity of my friends, neighbors and colleagues, the funding was raised in only 7 days to secure a large package of instruments containing 100 harmonicas, an electric guitar, an amplifier, jaw harps, guitar strings, picks, Cajun spoons. This first package was shipped on June 26th 2008 to FOB Summerall and the 101st Airborne for the 4^th of July.  Praise God!

We invite you to join us in our endeavor to provide more shipments of musical instruments to our other chaplains and their respective soldiers deployed abroad.  It is not too often that an opportunity presents itself to make a direct and profound impact like this on a group of individuals.  We are presented with that ability to have an impact, not only with our soldiers, but with our allied troops as well through music, the universal language.  We hope you will join us as we move to put together the next shipments of instruments for our soldiers.

Thank you to those who have made the first shipment possible.  Thank you for your help to make the next shipments possible.  I truly appreciate your generosity.  If you have any questions about what we are doing or how to donate a used instrument, we would love to hear from you.  We will do everything possible to promptly respond to your inquiry.
