UPDATE MARCH 2010: In one months time, all of the funds necessary to restore EVERYTHING that was stolen has come in! We are also happy to report that the equipment replaced, in most cases is of greater quality and functionality that what was stolen! This is the way God likes to do things! We have received some $10,500.00 in donations. PRAISE GOD. IN ADDITION, our studio computer (which was quoted at $2300 for a repair) was repaired for free!!! We are humbled and honored by the generosity and support of the body of Christ. I believe the Lord will continue to use our little ministry to impact multitudes for the Glory of the Lord!
We are going to keep this virtual fund open, in part due to the
prophetic word of repairing and upgrading our equipment.
Please take time to read the whole story below!
REPORT FROM JAN 2010:
For the last 7 years, we (Radiant Revolution, INC) have had the most wonderful privilege of serving the body of Christ in the U.S. and abroad via our mobile ground missions. These ground trips have taken us to places where few ministries go, seeing a great harvest, and countless lives changed by the Presence of God. It was our intention to officially launch a massive fundraising campaign early this year enabling us to continue our ground missions for another 7 years (or as long as the Lord leads) However, in light of recent circumstances, our need has become extremely urgent.
Our team has just completed a (sudden) 3 week trip around Texas, ministering to churches and promoting a recent pro-life prayer gathering led by TheCall and Bound4Life. On the early morning of the Justice March, Jan 18th (which gathered some 10k people) our vehicle containing our stage music equipment was broken into, and nearly all of our gear was stolen. Total value of the equipment stolen was $14,547.89. The $9,124.00 which belonged to Radiant Revolution, INC was not covered by insurance and is a total loss. (ask if you would like to see an itemized list) The PD would not come out to the scene, however we have filed a report.
I know these are simply material possessions, however, to a musician having these particular items taken is similar to having your family pictures lost in a house fire. Each instrument had a story and miracle to how it was acquired.
PROPHETIC WORD: In April 2008, while in Nashville, recording artist and father in the faith, Ricky Skaggs, publicly prayed over me. He said, “it’s time for a new sound system, vehicle, equipment, everything you need, pick it out, it’s all coming your way.” (Paraphrase) I have not been contending for this word, until NOW! We are not only believing God to restore quickly what took years to build, but to meet all our needs to continue in mobile missions for the nation.
Last December our recording studio computer died, and was given a bill of $2300 to repair it. We choose to wait instead and purchase a new one once the funds came in. In addition, our mobile sound system has aged and is in need of constant repair. With modern technology we could have a similar system that is much smaller, more mobile, and faster to set up for situations like public high schools where time is limited. 2 years ago we ceased using our 15 passenger van as it was too old to maintain, and have been renting vans for trips which have cost us up to 2500 per trip. Our trailer has served us well, but is falling apart and rusted. I believe now is the time to propel Radiant ministries to the nation in a fresh wave, and we need to body of Christ to make this happen.
We are boldly asking the Lord for $50,000 - $70,000 to restore our losses, upgrade our sound system, get a new van, a new trailer, repair our studio, and pay off a small amount of debt from CD productions. We have had constant bombardment of people say our losses will be restored 7 fold. We believe now is the time.
I believe the Lord has validated our ministry during these 7 formative years by consistently showing up with His Presence, never letting us miss a personal bill, (even down to the last minute) through the affirmation of spiritual fathers, and the lasting fruit of changed lives.
Would you consider being apart of this restoration this week, by having your church, business, or family give to Radiant Revolution, INC for 2010 missions? We believe the nation is ripe for harvest and our sickles are guitars and amplifiers. *All donations are tax-deductible and able to be reviewed by our board of advisors which includes 4 senior pastors.
For His Glory,
Richy Clark
