Welcome from Lucent, and Thunder Ministries
Hey guys we have some exciting news for you regarding Lucent and Thunder Ministries Web site. To start off with we want to say a special thanks to everyone who has been helping promote our ministry by radio play and web site interviews. There are many things in the works as you will read in the Lucent News section but a special thanks goes to Radio Active out of Syracuse, NY. Visit the web site for Radio Active at http://home.att.net/~BlairF27/radioactive.htm and thank them for their support of our ministry. Not only have they played our music but have advertised for us during a news interview regarding the show. A big thanks goes to everyone who has written and emailed us. We love to hear from you and your response is greatly appreciated. Go by our web site and fill out the guest book at http://members.aol.com/lucentweb and chooseLucent.
Have you ever written an album review? Or considered interviewing a band? If so Thunder Ministries needs your help. We are going to start posting album reviews and band interviews from other ministries we have had contact with. All of us at Thunder Ministries are excited about this and would like to have you involved. Please feel free to submit any writings to lucentweb@aol.com and let us know if you would like to help with this. Material can be from signed or unsigned groups.
CMA Radio Sampler, Volume 4 and Jubilee Harvest
I am sure many of you are familiar with the Christian Music Association or CMA for short. CMA has produced 3 radio sampler albums that are distributed to all reporting Christian radio stations, networks, and shows in the United States and Canada. Lucent has been selected to be apart of the 4th radio sampler album. This project will go to over 200 radio stations. We're encouraging all of our ministry friends to visit the home page for this project at http://members.aol.com/CMAssoc/ to get all the needed information to submit material for this project. The Radio Sampler is also produced by Audience Records. Audience Records supports such artists as the Jason Ingram Band and Everett Darren.
A quick update about the Jubilee Harvest Compilation CD. After careful consideration Jubilee Harvest has decided not to pursue the Compilation CD. Please feel free to visit the web site at http://www.jesusfreak.com/jubilee/ and support this ministry.
Web Site Updates
It's that time of the newsletter to grab your favorite bottle of spring water, sit back, relax, and surf our site. Visit us at http://members.aol.com/lucentweb and choose Lucent. Since we posted our web site it has undergone considerable change. My mission as the webmaster has been to provide a full service web site for you. With every change the site gets closer to that reality. We have added a couple new additions to our site.
First is the Lucent Discussion List. This is a list ran by Listbot and was designed for any ministry, artist, club, or freelance writer who would like to post concert dates or ministry news letters. This is a valuable tool for any ministry and we encourage anyone to sign up. To do so visit our web site and sign up there or email me at lucentweb@aol.com and I will submitt your name.
The second thing is the Lucent Ring of Christian Sites. You may be thinking, "Not another web ring". Yes, it is but this ring is different. My time on the internet reveled to me there were no webrings specifically designed for Christian indi bands, clubs, management , artists, or record labels that included all into one. I think many of you would like a webring of this nature so the Lucent Ring of Christian sites was born. If your web site fits into one of the above categories please sign up. Fan sites of Christian artists are welcome too.
Just a final note to all the sites we have linked from our web pages. Please be sure you have your sites updates with a link to us. If anyone notices our site is not update with your link please let us know and we will get it added.
LUCENT News
1. Some Lucent Reviews To Look For
Please visit Extreme Christianity at http://php.iupui.edu/~blgroce/ for reviews and interviews with your favorite artists. Look for a review on Lucent in the next issue Vol. #5 to be out soon. We will let everyone know as soon as the information is released. A note for everyone in the Indianapolis, IN area. Extreme Christianity is trying to get us in the Indianapolis area for a concert. As soon as we get the details for this concert together we will let you know.
Visit The Narrow Gate at http://members.aol.com/shaunaskye/index.html for articles on your favorite Christian music. The Narrow Gate will be doing a review on Lucent in an upcoming issue.
2. Lucent Overseas
Yes, you did read that correctly. Lucent has been in contact with radio stations out of Chile, Costa Rica, Argentina, Romania, and possibly Africa. We have contact with Christian Radio station in these countries who are going to be showcasing our music soon. Please keep this in your prayers and be sure you support these stations.
Another note about Lucent overseas is a possible concert in the UK next year. We are in the early planning stages of this event and as details arrive I will keep everyone posted. For right now we can just say members of the ministry have been invited to help speak at a conference for disabled people in the UK and we are in consideration of taking the entire ministry for a possible two week tour. We need a lot of financial support and prayer for this to come about. Keep this on your prayer list and pray with us the doors will open for us to pursue this awesome ministry opportunity.
3. Lucent Mailing List
For those of you on our mailing list we wanted to let you know it is moving to listbot. If your on our list now we will have your email addresses submitted to Listbot and you must respond to their email before you will be on the list. We are watching the list closely and will delete you off the list we manage as soon as you sign up under listbot. I know moves like this get confusing but this will be a great deal of help to us as the list keeps growing in numbers it becomes harder for us to update. Thank you for your understanding and patience on this issue and we feel you will like Listbot services much better than what we had to offer. With listbot you can start you own mailing list on a particular subject or easily update the accounts you sign up under.
