Lucent On-line Newsletter Vol. 3-1
Thanks for joining us again for another awesome year. Hope things are going well for everyone and get ready for the ride. This looks be an active year for all of us here with Lucent and Thunder Ministries. The year has already began with the official expansion of Thunder Productions. This division of Thunder Ministries will be handling the promotional aspects of the group Lucent, and will be bringing you several new groups in the future. All the booking aspects are still being handled by Thunder Ministries INC. so any booking inquiries may be addressed to them. We will bring you the news as Thunder Productions begins to take shape. Thanks for your support of this ministry and together lets prepare for the things God is going to do.
LUCENT PRAYER CHAIN
I think we all can agree just how powerful and important prayer is. To help all of us bind together in one accord on this issue we have decided to start a Prayer Chain. To visit the page you can either access it from our web site or directly at http://members.aol.com/lucentweb/pray.html and enter your email address to get signed up. This list is for prayer requests only. Please take part in this vision with us and sign up for the list. Since we are discussing prayer needs I we like to ask everyone to keep our Sound Technician, Sabrina Kauffman in your prayers. She recently went into out patient surgery and seems to be doing well but please keep her speedy recovery in your prayers.
LUCENT WEB SITE AWARD
With it being a new year I wanted to inform everyone we now have the Lucent web site award up and running again. The award has a new look and we have two web sites that are winners for the month of January. For all you Hip-Hop fans we have a web site for you to visit called AMEN Radio. Visit http://listen.to/amenradio to get a real audio stream of the best in today's Christian hip-hop. The other winner is Broken Records. Visit them at http://www.brokenrecords.com to listen and purchase the best in today's Christian Independent music. This site is getting a large response and lets all do what we can to help independent Christian music. If you would like your web site to be reviewed for the award just email us here at lucentweb@aol.com and we will check it out and email you the link code if your site wins.

Their music is now heard on many stations across North America, Mexico, South America, Australia, Europe and Asia. Join us for the chat and get your questions ready. You may even win a free CD!
How You Can Help US
We have a very specific request on how you can help our ministry. The first is to simply consider us for your tax deductible donations. If you are a business owner or know a business owner please suggest this to them. All donations to Thunder Ministries INC are tax deductible. We will be doing our annual support drive very soon and must get our monthly support up to current demand. We have CD's to mail out and with all our radio promotion we are getting ready to do will cost us a lot of money and any help is grateful. I know you have probably heard this a million times but even the smallest of donations are very helpful. Do you realize if every person on our mailing list donated $1.00 we would get enough funding to mail out all our CD's and get all the needed material for our next upcoming concert. Please pray about this and consider us for monthly support. Either send your donations to the address above or email us at lucentweb@aol.com for more information.
LUCENT NEWS
The first bit of news is regarding our January concert we were going to do in our home town of Clarksville, Indiana. Well, as our local fans know the date was changed from January to March. This actually is a good thing as we are now going to do a 3 day event instead of just a one night concert. We are so glad God has worked this out like he has because many kids in our area are getting into drugs, sex, and even Satanism! Please keep in prayer with us about this as this event takes shape.
Another bit of news is in February we will be featured on The Edge program played on WJIE. Hope you guys have tuned in via the Internet and listened. If not you should and send them an email and request Lucent. As soon as the date gets set we will email everyone and let you know. Look for this to happen around the middle or end of the month. This will be a feature for our CD's and will also showcase the release of our first single, "RAGE." Visit http://surf.to/preview for a CD preview on-line.
One final bit of news and trust me it's been worth the wait. As we have tried to describe to everyone we do feats of strength similar to groups like The Power Team and Strike Force. Well, the cool news is we have been in contact with Guinness Book of World Records and their board is currently reviewing a tape of us. If everything works out we may be featured on Guinness Prime Time! What an opportunity to witness for the Lord. Keep in prayer that this will work out.
Thanks for reading the first newsletter of the 99 year. For making it all the way to the end the first three people to email me at lucentweb@aol.com with your mailing address, and name will win a free autographed lucent 8X10. Be sure you email us right now to be a winner.
