K~W~A: Journal

The CD is in the hands of the distributors and the release date is set for October 13, 2009. It will be avaiable online. You can see us now at www.famousrecordscorp.com

We finally completed the cd. The Master is being recorded and will be sent to the distributor within the next few days. Over the next 2 months we will be developing the cover and inserts for the cd case. We are so excited about what is about to happen. The songs will initially be available digitally and when the demand is up they will be available in the major chains such as Wal-mart and Target. Look forward the the digital advertisement and let us know what you think. Continue to prayer with us and we continue to endeavor to due the will of God for our lives.

This is an awesome opportunity and we are thankful to God, first and then Rick Kendall w/the Body Network for allowing us to be a part of this showing. We sang three songs from the CD and the audience and crew expressed such blessedness from the taping. We, too, were blessed by the "anointing" that resonated in that place that we almost could not stop. We are looking forward to the actual showing and hope all will catch it.

Wow, what a difference a few months make. Earlier this year, we started working on our full CD to be released by the summer of this year (2008). We had some financial struggles but we were persistent in what we know God had called us to and now we have an opportunity for a P & D (Press & Distribution) deal with a major record label. God is faithful and has proven Himself to us. We are still in the process of completing that full album but it will be release by summer of '09 now and by a major record label. Please keep in touch as more will be released as we finalize this opportunity. We are also embarking on a tour at the release of our album so be on the look-out for more information about that as well. Thank you one and all for all you have done to support us. We continue to solicit your support through prayer and supplication. Once again, thanks.

K.W.A. is back in the studio to complete the full album. The projected time of release is Summer '08. We look forward to this release and the blessing that this full album will bring to the body of Christ.

The DVD of the TV recording taped 2/24/07 is now available. There are two separate shows so there are two DVD's available. The cost is $10 each. You can purchase them by contacting KWA Ministrires or Next Take Productions at nexttake@yahoo.com.

Hello everyone, look for the January issue of Gospel USA Magazine. K W A will be listed in the magazine's chart rating as one of the 30 top artist. An email blast will be sent out to radio stations to promote us. This is great news. Also I also received an email from the editor of Gospel Synergy Magazine and was told that we have radio of 9.7 on the gospelpower radio show because we remain in the rotation. All good news for the month of January. We thank everyone for your support and promotional efforts for this ministry. Remember, look for the magazine and continue to listen to gospelpower.fm.

Pastor Russ was interviewed on the radio broadcast of "Word of Life" by Evangelist Grace Miller of Apostle Faith Church of Deliverance, Inc. of Ft. Pierce. Pastor Russ was given the opportunity to discuss the CD, give the testimonies of the many supporters who have been tremendously blessed by the music and to give his own personal testimony. He also gave an invitation to the listening audience to attend the upcoming CD Release celebration. Bishop Isaac and Evangelist Grace Miller are the pastors that Pastor Russ started his ministry with and they gave him his first opportunity as a minister of the gospel. He was ordained a minister and then an Elder under their pastorialship. It was indeed an honor and priviledge to be interviewed by them, and Pastor Russ is most thankful to God for them and the influence they have had in his life. Tune in Saturday mornings at 9:30am to hear the "Word of Life" by Evangelist Grace Miller and just as on the broadcast you may hear Bishop Miller sing. What an anointed voice and blessed ministry.

Pastor Russ was interviewed on WIRA 1400AM today at 1100am on the radio broadcast show "Up Beat" by Pastor James H. Brown. Pastor Russ was given the opportunity to discuss the project and the mission of KWA. It was a most informative interview. Pastor Brown uses "A New Heart" as the song that opens and closes his program. Pastor Brown also uses this song in the commercial spots for the program. What an honor and privilege to be used of God in this way. Tune in to WIRA 1400AM on Tuesdays at 11am to hear Pastor James H. Brown on the radio broadcast "Up Beat.

We had our CD evaluated by two very reputable companies and received the results back this week. One is Foley Entertainment, Inc. and the other is Taxi. Both of these companies hold very high reputations in the music industry and their evaluations have a great deal of influence with the major label and distribution companies. Mr. Foley indicated that his favorite tracks are 1 & 5 (He Was There and I Wanna Be Holy). Mr. Foley gave us an overall rating of 4 (5 being the highest). Taxi evaluated "A New Heart" and gave us an overall rating of 8 (10 being the highest). This is very exciting news and it confirms that this CD is not only blessing people, which is our main objective and prayer request, but it is also impressing the people in the music industry.

We just completed an interview with an online magazine located at www.inyaearmagazine.com. Check them out beginning May 22 for the article.

Pastor Russ and Karleen were interviewed on FM 91.1 WJFP today on the broadcast of Covenant Sunday Partners. We were given the opportunity to talk about the cd as well as our vision for unity of the Body of Christ. During this interview we talked about what a blessing the cd has been to so many people and the places where it is on display as well as the CD Release Party. We really are encouraging anyone with a new release to attend the event as a means to meet others and share information. We will share our platform so that you too can promote your CD, because God did not call KWA to compete with our brothers and sisters but to complete you, as well as you doing that for us. We truly are "workers together" for the building up of the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Christ. You can learn more about Covenant Sunday Partners at www.covenantsundaypartners.com.
