Musicians on a Mission: Tour Update

A note from Silence O Israel while on tour (Members of GCC:  Nate Wong, Morgan Mitchel and Tyrone Bernal, and Kevin Caffee is traveling with them to help...)  For more info on their mission and what they're doing, click here...

Hey Everyone!



We are up in a Starbucks in Navado, CA hangin’ out and relaxing a little bit before we move on. Since we are sitting around, I thought, man, we haven’t talked to anyone really in a couple days.

The last couple of days have been very interesting…

Our first night was at Jerry's Pizza in Bakersfield; that night we were able to be a part of 2 miracles! The first was a healing! Our good friend E-Man, who helped us set up the show, prayed for this kid’s back, and he was healed! The second miracle was a financial miracle. We can’t really compare it to anything other than the story of Jesus paying taxes out of the mouths of fish and when the loaves of bread and fish were multiplied. We made double, almost triple, of what we "should have made.” The next day we headed up to Rocklin, CA and were totally blessed and brought in by an amazing family we met through a friend. The first night we were there, they made us a huge meal. Afterwards, they led us in a bible study that totally blessed us; it was right on!

From there, we went to Lancaster, CA to play a show at 10:00 p.m. We got to the venue at 9:30 only to be told we were too late and that we couldn't play because the venue closed at ten. But, then we were told we could play 2 songs. It was insane! Those few short seconds were incredible and we were able to make contact with a band from Phoenix, AZ and were able to love on them and minister to them a little bit individually. We know we were there for a reason and were blessed by it.

The next night we were able to play in Whittier, CA and that was an experience all on its own, haha! We got there and realized that we were going to play in a tiny dance studio and thought, "well, this will be fun :) ” Almost as soon as the time came around to get the show started up, the heavens opened and poured out more rain than I have seen in a while. We had to carry our gear over a miniature Nile river that cut us off from our trailer dividing the promise of a somewhat dry venue and us playing dry gear. We all got soaked, Eddy our vocalist tried to jump the gap and ate it on out trailer ramp and we had to dry off our gear before we plugged it in, it was fun! Once the show started, we were able to bring the presence of God into a dry and barren place and plant an uncountable amount of seeds.

Throughout this whole time, we have been constantly reminded of how much our Father loves us. His provision has been a little hard to comprehend, but the only thing we know is that the Lord loves us so much and He won’t stop showing us. Praise God!
Keep on prayin’ for us as we continue to move forward into the unknown.
Walk Victorious!

Leadership Summit in Tanzania

Greetings in Jesus name,

We have all the reasons to thank God for what he has done to make The Global Leadership Summit happen in Tanzania for the first time. It was not easy job. We must admit that God was on our side. The oppositions were very high from the outside and more from within. There were many people discouraging than encouraging. There were many cursing than blessing. There were many to smash than to help.
“We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.”
-Romans 8:28

The above photos are some of leaders from different churches and organizations listening and writing teachings from the Summit.

The Summit took place on November 26 and 27 at City Christian Center Upanga D’salaam. In this summit, we had all kinds of leaders from various careers and backgrounds. We had Pastors, Bishops, managers from banks and other companies, some members of parliament, officials from human rights, World Bank, Government, business people, doctors, lawyers and many others. We had a great time getting together, learning and listening from the World-classic faculty.


During the session, there was a great time for leaders to share and exchange different experiences, and encouraging one another.  It was a good time for leaders to get to know one another and to develop new friendship. WE HAD A GREAT TIME!!!

People testified on how the conference has helped them. One of the directors from Human rights said the training has been very beneficial to her carrier. She was so moved with the quality of teachings she had received. I had an opportunity to speak with one of the great and famous respected judge from the government. He commented that he wished all the judges could be in this summit to experience what was going on for those two days. He made a commitment that the next summit he’ll fill the hall with judges and key people from his work. One bishop said it was amazing for him to sit with another bishop from a different denomination, which was considered like enemies. Now they sit together and share different experiences. A professor from one University here in Dar es salaam, said if people knew the secret of these teachings, they would have very little conflict and misunderstandings.

We had an opportunity to allow our hearts to respond to the teachings we were receiving. We prayed and committed to be better leaders so we can transform our working places as well as the whole World in general. People prayed for one another and asked God to unite us and make us one people for the glory of his kingdom.

In this training, we had leaders from different regions around the country, we also had people from Kenya, Uganda, DRC, and Nigeria who came all the way to attend.

We want to thank you very much for your prayers, and for all you have done to help make sure that this event took place.

God bless you!

In Christ ,
