Hey all,

I am stoked to get this myspace page off thr ground because I think it will be an awesome tool for this ministry.

I am really excited now because I am making a move that I think will be awesome for me an my family and will have some great impact on the Christian community in the Skagit Valley and N.W. Washington.

In the past, I was able to promote Christian concert events through a partnership with the Skagit Valley Youth Network, a really loose organization of both on - staff and volunteer youth pastors and workers in other youth targeting Christian ministries in the Skagit Valley.   I was able to work with some great people and accomplish some really cool things for the glory of God.   Kicking off the OC Supertones Farewell Tour at Bethany Covenant in Mount Vernon was simply amazing.

The Network has it's limitations though in that it's volunteer and doesn't have a venue.  Youth Pastors also have a really high turnover rate and this can make it hard for a group like this to stay together long.

I have been dropping in at Bethany Covenant for a couple of months now and I think I have found a home for my family and myself, as well as for this concert ministry.  In a couple of weeks, Bethany will have a new youth pastor and a new worship pastor on staff and we will put our heads together and pray on what we think we can accomplish working together to spread ther Gospel to youth in Skagit Valley throgh music and other events.

Keep your eye on this site, on the papers, and listen to The Effect and you'll be up to date.

If you have any acts you'd like to see, or, if you'd like to help out, please let me know.

God Bless,
