Starting a ministry like ours can seem overwhelming. There are so many aspects involved in running the ministry of Crimson Truth that we often feel like it is a full-time job, while we try to balance our real jobs, families, and church. The idea seems simple enough: start a band that freely shares the Word in it's songs, who provide a "different" style of Christian music than most unchurched people think is available, and to provide pure and wholesome content packaged in a style of music that Christian teens can relate to and and feel good about listening to. However, there are many things that we recognize we could use some help with.
If Crimson Truth is a ministry that has been a blessing to you and one would like to see continue to grow and minister, please take a look at our help checklist.
Prayer.
This is first and most important! Pray for our families, our travel safety, our attitudes and actions, not only as we minister but as conduct ourselves in every instance, and pray for any that would come to see us or listen to our music.
Contacts/Ministry Opportunities.
We don't have a booking agent, or secretary so finding opportunities to share is a big challenge. We are NOT looking for money, or a huge crowd. We are happy to play for a handful in any setting. If you are or know a youth leader, FCA leader, or other appropriate person please pass our website along to them. All we need to play for your group or event is a small PA system and dry space (indoors or outdoors). Soon we hope to even provide the PA. All we will ask is to receive a love offering and the opportunity to sell our merchandise.
PA Equipment
In order to minister to as many people as possible, and to do it with minimum stress and work for those we are hoping serve, we are realizing the need for our own PA equipment. We are looking for either donations to purchase equipment, or if someone has old PA equipment that they would like to donate, then we would welcome that too.
Monitors - 3 - approx. $150, 15" spkr, horn, 250 - 350 watts RMS
PA Speakers - 2 - approx. $300, 2 15" spkrs, horn, 1000 - 1500 watts RMS
Subwoofers - 2 - approx. $250, 18" spkr, 500 - 750 watts RMS
Power Amps - 2 - appox. $400 - $600, 1500 - 2400 watts
This is the equipment we are praying for, but we know that often God has other ways to meet our needs. We would welcome any help in this area. We also would want to be clear that this equipment would always and only be used for God's Kingdom work, whether with our band or in other ministry situations.
Van/trailer
We are also in need of either a large van (the 15 passenger type) or a small trailer (5x8 is sufficient) in order to haul our band and equipment around. Any help in this area would be very welcome.
How to Donate
The best way to contact us about donations, either monetary or physical equipment, is to e-mail us. This way we can let you know if a need has been met, and we can decide the best way for us to receive the donation.
We thank you in advance for for any and all help you are able to give!
