Hi everyone!!! I just want to say a quick thanks to everyone for your support in the last few months. It has been a crazy, awesome step out in faith experience for Becca and I. We REALLY appreciate the prayer, love and support of friends close and around the world. I am really missing Becca, Levi and Ava Grace but God is giving us all strength for what he has called us to do. It has been so cool to travel across this most beautiful country singing of the goodness of God and doing our best to be a blessing to the church at large. This morning I woke up to this scripture that encouraged me to continue to pursue excellence in music, art and publishing the good news of Jesus Christ. 
1 Ch 16 - 23 Sing to God, everyone and everything! Get out his salvation news every day!24 Publish his glory among the godless nations, his wonders to all races and religions.25 And why? Because God is great - well worth praising! (MSG) 
In Canada there is a need for all of us to “Publish” with excellence the Word of God in creative ways. God has given Canadians a global platform because we are received abroad with amazing respect. And hey, Canada needs Canadians too! The world is waiting for the sights and sounds of voices and art that reflect the glory of God. There are incredible gifts in Canada that need our full support and encouragement to begin to write, paint or play. And when a project is complete, let’s fully get behind it. As I look back in life there are MANY people who encouraged me to take steps of faith along the way that enabled my faith to be stretched to this point. I am so thankful for that.  I remember friends that encouraged me when I was playing 3 chord songs on a keyboard, just praying I wouldn’t hit a wrong note. At that time, that was HUGE for me. I vividly remember my good friend Tommy saying “you should write songs”. And that day changed my life forever. Now, these songs are sung in churches around the planet. Really that is the power and beauty of the church. If it wasn’t for such a awesome community of people that encouraged and supported me through the years, I would not have written a single song, preached a message or made a single CD. Now we have a whole new generation of young people to push towards their destiny with encouragement, words of wisdom and a giant SMILE.  Have a great day and be “Open” to who you could encourage today. Blessings, Jachin
