A Message from our Director, December 31, 2007
Dear Friends,
I'm sitting here at the airport waiting to board a plane for Maui to celebrate our grandson's first birthday. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were sitting at the hospital watching his birth into this world. To see him grow over the
past year reminds me of watching how our chorus has grown, maybe not so much in numbers but from a musical and spiritual way. The chorus has weathered some storms in the making of the CD and in the loss of some key members for a period. There was Don Gwinn at the beginning of the year, then Don Troyer who went through two surgeries, and Nelson Musgrave with employment opportunities. But through this, God has blessed us and honored our commitment to His ministry by bringing the two Don's back to us, then bringing Rudy Gumangan, Rodney Knight, and Nick Gutierrez to us.
Some of the blessings of 2007 has to begin with ... The release of our His Voice CD “Written in Red.” - Singing at the assisted care facilities. - Opening our ministry to prisons and other denominational churches. – The development of our web site, http://www.hisvoice.us/ - Nancy Troyer coming on board as our editor and the introduction of our blog news site, www.hisvoicenews.blogspot.com/ - and finally, experiencing the baptism of one of our own, Nick Gutierrez.
The New Year brings some other challenges. Bob Wheeler will be leaving for Colorado Springs. Russ Lorenz will be moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma. This will be a huge loss for us … we will not only miss a good second tenor but the whole lip sink section will be gone. Developing our group as a non-profit entity will also be a challenge. But through these challenges, God is opening up more doors for us in ministry.
I was approached by Miroslav Pujic who is Director of the Centre for Secular and Post Modern
Studies from the General Conference. He is based in London, England and is working on a committee to reach the unchurched. The Hope Channel in Europe falls under his jurisdiction. He was so impressed with the music on our CD that he is going to return to Southern California in April with his crew to video tape us singing six songs from our CD that will be televised as a video strip not only on the Hope channel in Europe but also to the potential two billion people who are on the Internet. If this isn't exciting, I don't know what is! I believe that we will continue to minister in a mighty way because you have listened to His voice and accepted the call to His ministry. God bless you as we continue to experience how big our God is in 2008!
Mike Naluai, Director of His Voice Men’s Chorus
~~~~~A SONG FOR YOUR NEW YEAR!
In the New Year, I see His face,
In its ending, His form I trace,
In the future, His voice I know.
I see Jesus … everywhere I go!
