RECORDING PROJECT FOR MELODY MULLINS
Melody Mullins, my daughter, has been the featured soloist on A Fresh Start since we began the program. I sing quite a bit on the program, but that has usually been due to Melody not being able to be in the studio at the time of taping because of her full-time job. I have included a link below of Melody singing with the choir and orchestra of Sevier Heights Baptist Church in Knoxville a few years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izsDE69oOiE. in an all music program of A Fresh Start featuring Melody (the music starts about the 5:47 mark).
Melody has a beautiful voice but of greater importance she has a heart for God and lives accordingly. When she first began singing publicly at around 14 years old or so, I prayed that the Lord would anoint her singing so that when she sang it would touch hearts for Christ in a positive way. I remember one of the first times she sang publicly was at a Middle School PTO meeting at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis. As she sang I looked around and saw several of the mothers in attendance with tears in their eyes or wiping tears away who were touched by the song she sang and her singing. Thank you, Lord.
Back To The Basics Ministries would like to fund a recording project for Melody. In time we will use her CD as a gift to send to those who donate to the ministry. You all know that BTTBM is a faith ministry that is dependent on the donations of friends and supporters of the ministry to air A Fresh Start TV Program (almost 1200 airings since November 2009 PTL!). We soon hope to publish books I have written and now to produce CD recordings for Melody. Right now we have enough funds coming in per month to pay for air time of A Fresh Start on WVLR in Knoxville and WTWV in Memphis (although we need to raise more funds to keep it on the air in Memphis). We need financial help to make Melody’s CD a reality. She has someone whom she can record through that will provide 600 hard copies of the CD and we will need soundtracks made for seven or eight songs. That comes to between $1500 and $1700. By the time other incidentals are included, I feel like we can have a completed recording project for $2000.00.
Melody plans for her first recording to be mostly some great hymns of the faith. She is planning at this time to record a couple of songs I have written. One way we will keep costs down on her first recording is not having to pay royalty fees for songs written by others. The hymns she will use are Public Domain, for which you do not have to pay royalty fees.
HOW YOU CAN HELP US GET MELODY’S RECORDING COMPLETED
If you can give a $100 donation or more toward Melody’s recording project, we will guarantee you a complimentary hard copy of the CD when it is released plus you get credit for a tax-deductible donation (less the value of the CD). To the regular contributors to BTTBM who give a hundred dollars or more per year, we will give you a complimentary copy when the CD project is complete.
You may send a check to Back To The Basics Ministries; P.O. Box 32486; Knoxville, TN 37930
or go to the web site www.drbobbymullins.com and click on the Donate link and follow the instructions.
We will keep you updated on the status of Melody’s Recording Project.
GETTING THROUGH THE SUMMER SLUMP
June, July, and August are especially hard times for non-profit ministries and organizations when it comes to financial donations. We have just enough funds in hand to get us through summer airings of A Fresh Start, but we could use extra help financially right now to help us be able to tape new programs of A Fresh Start, with Melody’s Recording Project, for publishing one of the books I have written, and other ministry projects. Please see the info in the section above on how to make a tax-deductible donation. Thank you for your generosity. It is making a positive difference in the lives of people. I will share some examples next month from some whose lives have been bettered because of A Fresh Start and Back To The Basics Ministries.
Blessings,
Bobby Mullins
