This is the Lamb Special that we had for lunch from theshepherdspie.com

On the blogosphere today I was introduced to a band called Generation Letter. They will serve under the lead of worship leader Bob Kauflin this weekend at a conference in Baltimore, MD. The band members all serve their local congregation of Metro Life Church in Orlando, Florida.

While Baltimore and Orlando are a long way from Singapore and we may never have the pleasure of hearing this band live on our sunny island (though I'm sure it'd be a great blessing to us if God ever led them this way), I was struck by their resume: not only serving their local church in leading the corporate worship, they're also busy making a record and winning awards in the Gospel category of the John Lennon Song Writing contest for two years (2008 and 2009).

But most of all, what left an impression is their stated purpose as a band:

“Not only is their vision to create and record great music that magnifies The Creator, but they want to freely share the joy of worshipping God with a biblically informed theology of worship to all who listen to their songs.”

Reading that, I was reminded of our own AlterNation band, and my church's young aspiring musicians who love to make music to the Lord and bring the lost to Jesus. I hope this band's vision serves as an inspiration for them as it has for me.

Finally they're not only gifted, they're also generous. Read Bob Kauflin's blog post which details how to get a free song (and maybe the whole album if you comment on the post) from their new alboum This is the Story.
