	World Vision Hosts Joel in Nicaragua
	After a family filled Thanksgiving weekend in California, Joel and his wife Debbie began an eventful November week in Nicaragua, the second poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. As an Artist Associate with World Vision, they experienced first-hand the life-changing work of Child Sponsorship in the lives of desperate children.

	Joel Weldon Does Repeat At Unity Music Festival
	Unity Music Festival '07 once again used the talents of Joel Weldon to open the power packed weekend on the shores of Lake Michigan in early August . He took the stage each evening as the host, worship leader, and MC for the entire weekend. More than 45 thousand people packed the park this year to hear some of Christian music's most incredible bands, worship leaders and performers. This years roster included Mercy Me, Casting Crowns, the Newsboys, and many more. More info: www.unitymusicfestival.com
	Joel Weldon teams up with World Vision
	After personally sponsoring a World Vision child for 9 years, it was a very quick YES when World Vision contacted JW about becoming an official World Vision Artist Associate. As the worlds largest Christian relief and development organization, their past efforts in major disasters and war torn areas of the globe have also been some of the most efficient and effective. Information on sponsorship is now available through Joel's ministry, expanding the vision for people to meet the needs of poor and starving children around the world. More info: www.worldvision.org
	Benefit Concert Raises Much Needed Funds
	On January 13, '06, Joel and Friends headlined a free benefit concert to raise money and resources for the Nichols Family of Spokane, WA. Mary Nichols and her seven children with an eighth child on the way, lost their husband/father to sudden heart failure this past fall. Left with very little, the family faced crisis circumstances. Several concerned people from various churches in the area brought the community together for Reaching Hands, A Benefit Concert which drew about 700 people to the new Life Center auditorium. The impact of the event raised more than $20,000 dollars and many more pledges for money and resources. What a testimony to the body of believers and the entire community- an example of the Church coming together to love by doing and giving!
	New Music in the Making...
	The tracks have been rolling on the forthcoming and long awaited release from Joel. The camera found him recently with his coffee and microphone, Laying down scratch tracks at Liquid Productions in Alamo, CA. At the con was producer/ engineer and long time friend, Jeff Eitzen. Projected release is sometime this summer....
	Answer the phone! It's John Tesh!?
	We recently fielded a call from the offices of John Tesh. They've informed us they're considering two of our songs for a future project in the works from Mr. Tesh. We'll keep you updated on their selection process..
	"Along The Way" in the CD players of thousands!
	"Along The Way", the new 2 CD, 33 song 'best of' collection from Joel Weldon is available! Purchase online, listen to audio tracks, read all about it by visiting its feature page.
	REVIVE! To heavenly Infinity and Beyond!
	REVIVE! continues to endear itself to worshippers everywhere. The Revive! Project has been so well received by you and worshippers around the globe that several songs have caught the attention of worship bands and worshipers around the world. In the past, we've had our songs licensed by Maranatha, Vineyard and others, but never with as much excitement as we have seen from these new songs. God is using these songs in a huge way in the hearts of believers. Hume Lake Christian Camps, where more than 10,000 students participated in Hume's winter program alone, named its 14-week winter camp series in 2001 "Overwhelmed" after the song on Revive! Check out the new project and even purchase it online by visiting the Little Peach web site... Also visit the feature page on this latest worship project.

	Little Peach is great online resource...
	LittlePeach.com is adding new material quite often and has plans for a new project feature from a band close to our California office, named BLU99. It's an incredible addition for Little Peach that adds a much-needed R&B dimension to some popular worship songs as well as some brand new ones. Besides that, all the new songs on REVIVE! are now available on the www.littlepeach.com website. They've made available all the leadsheets and lyrics for download to your computer - FREE! You can use them for your worship team, cut and paste the lyrics for your powerpoint presentations, or simply play along during your own personal times of worship. While you're visiting the Peach site, don't forget to sign up for their e-mail list for promotions and contests they've put together.
	New Consulting Ministry
	Almost by accident, (no accidents in God's plans!) we have launched a new branch of our concert and worship ministry. Several churches and Christian organizations have requested that we come up with a "worship workshop" of sorts for worship teams. As many ministries struggle in this area of how to accomplish and lead effective worship unto the Lord, we have worked with several churches and their worship teams this past year. We've also been called upon to consult in the area of sound, lighting and technical training. The response has been terrific. Great feedback has helped us refine our training. For more info, please contact us with any inquiries.

	Register with us today!
	We welcome the chance to inform you when we post new songs and projects to the site, announce promotions, update Joel's concert schedule, share interviews, and much more! All you have to do is ClickHere and send with the word "Add" somewhere in the subject or body. We'll place you on the list right away! (Please specify if your email address is different than the one you're sending from.)
