Dear Family and Friends,

It is my desire to wholly operate in the gifts that God has invested in me in order to help build up His Kingdom.  One such gift is the gift of music.  I believe that I am responsible for the gift and responsible to the giver, which has prompted me to write this letter.
                
What I aspire to do is record my next CD independently of a record label.  In short, that means that I will be responsible for the production, manufacturing and distribution of my CD.  My vision is to record a portion of the CD in the studio, and a portion live in concert.  In so doing, I will have two separate mediums that I can distribute into the marketplace; CD and DVD.

Such an undertaking is far greater than I alone can achieve, therefore I am asking you to help me facilitate my vision.  I am convinced that with your help my recording goals can be reached.

Beginning March 30, 2007, I will be raising funds for my recording budget and I need your help in this effort.  A seed offering of $250 per month, totaling $1,000 into my ministry will help defray the cost of this project.  This will be a sacrifice I know, but I can guarantee that the reward will supersede the gift.  When God instructs me to sow a seed, He always returns it to me with interest.  In times past, my sacrificial gift of $1,000 into someone else’s education reaped a harvest of $25,000 for my own. With it, I in turn funded my Masters of Religious Studies degree from Howard University School of Divinity.

Whatever the gift, be it large or small is greatly appreciated.  I trust that as God leads, you will follow and that He will do for you what He did for me.  My prayer is that your seed offering into my ministry will be supernaturally returned to you 25 times over. 

I thank you in advance for your gift and for the spirit in which it was given.  As I stated previously, I cannot do this alone but with your help I can.  In order for me to follow my heart, I need your hands.

Blessings,
Duawne
