DESERT STREAM CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP, Belleville, ON (www.desertstream.net)

or

LIVE via the web! - Click HERE

Andrew and I, along with Letus Creative Artist Agency, invite you to attend this very special concert held at our home church which will include a sneak peak at Andrew's new album, DEPARTURES, which he has begun to record.  I've even heard a rumour that is going to snow INSIDE during the concert!  Hmmm ... better not miss it!

DEPARTURES is not only expanding Andrew's musical style, it is also expanding his faith.  For this reason, this concert will be a fundraising concert with the intention of raising the remaining $15,000 to complete the project.

Whether you are attending this concert or watching via the web, you will have the limited time opportunity to not only give a tax deductible donation, but also to pre-order your copy of DEPARTURES and receive it before it goes to retail.

Plan now to attend and/or click this link to watch the concert, chat with other fans, make a donation and to pre-order your copy of DEPARTURES. You can check out the link now, but it will be LIVE around 7PM next Friday night.

Many blessings,

Vicki Martin

This March CMC Distribution (Canada’s largest distributor of Christian music) will be releasing a compilation of Canadian Southern Gospel and Country Music to be called “First Stage”. The project, set to release March 6th, 2007 will feature 15 songs from artists from across Canada. The roster of featured performers will include multiple (GMA Canada) Covenant Awards winners like The Torchmen Quartet, Marlene O’Neill, Andrew Martin, The Master’s Four and Canada’s Double Portion. The project will also include tracks from The Young Street Vocal Band, Freedom, High Valley and Sweet Presence. Executive Producer Martin Smith describes the project as an introduction to the great wealth of Canadian Southern Gospel and Country Music. “Our hope is that through First Stage retailers, music fans, the media and concert goers will discover the diversity and strength of Canadian music.

"Catch the story about Andrew and Vicki's Bus fire in the October issue of THE SINGING NEWS"

October 31st, 2006

"We're the proud owners of a new vehicle"

Thanks so much for your prayers for a favourable insurance settlement and for wisdom. Although it did take several weeks to come to an agreement, at least everything is settled!

Knowing that trying to purchase another bus at this point would put us under the burden of debt, and since our ministry has never operated in debt of any kind, we decided to get a van instead of a bus. Thanks to Pastor Stan Madigan (Peterborough, ON) for his help in finding something perfect! Our new "home away from home" is a 1997 Savana van with the Explorer conversion. It is in excellent condition, very comfortable and a joy to drive! We are certainly blessed!

October 1st, 2006

We've had a fire and unfortunately our bus is a total loss ... please pray for us as we sort through the details of this ... more information to follow as it becomes available ...
