Thanks From Rob Biagi...

We've been praying for Rob Biagi during the month of July. As we get ready to turn another page on the calendar, we wanted to share one last update from Rob, and a note of thanks:

I have written some new songs! I call them "works-in-progress" (they are not ready for the radio yet), but I am happy with the way they are sounding. It should just be a little while until you're hearing new Rob Biagi Music on HIS KIDS RADIO! Please pray that my new songs: "Welcome You," "Scoot!," "All Kinds of Fun," "You Shine (We're Rockin' Now!)," and "God is Workin' On Me" will be massive worldwide hits that your families will love. :)

We thank God for YOU, our friends who listen faithfully to all the great programs and music on HIS KIDS RADIO. We love you, and we love that you listen to our programs and music and make it a part of your family life! If you need anything for your Children's Church program (sing-a-long tracks, bulk discounts on CD purchases, PowerPoint, song lyrics, etc.), please contact us. We want you to have what you need!

Thanks again for remembering Rob and his family in your prayers. We'll continue to give you some great chances to win his music during PhoneTag and the Song Request Contest!

More From Rob Biagi

By now, you know that we're featuring the music and ministry of Rob Biagi during the month of July. Here's a few more of his prayer requests and praises:

Hey guys - thanks for remembering me (and my family) in prayer this month! My family is a HUGE part of everything I do, so here's how you can pray for them:

• Kathleen (my wife) would love you to join her in prayer celebrating that Natalie is feeling so good, and doing so well. Nat is almost finished with her Leukemia treatment - to God be the glory! Kathleen has been happy and very productive lately, which is fun for her!
• Matt (my 18 year-old son) is praying about his future, now that he's a high school graduate. He is an ice hockey referee, and he's going to a big National camp to meet some professional hockey refs. God's will be done!
• Juli (my 11 year-old daughter) is reading a book with her mom about purity and real love. Please pray that God would speak powerfully through that book and continue bringing them closer in their relationship.
• Natalie (my 4 year-old daughter) has always said, "Jesus is taking care of me", and she's right! Thanks and praise to God for her strength, courage, and long beautiful hair (it has almost all grown back in since the cancer treatments made it all fall out).
• I (Rob) an SO GRATEFUL that on Monday, June 8th, I woke up and wanted to get out of bed for the first time in a year! I felt so good, and it's been several days straight since then. It feels SO GOOD to feel good!

We'll have another update from Rob next week, so be sure to check back for more details! And keep listening to HIS KIDS RADIO for your chance to win some of his music when we play PhoneTag and during the Song Request Contest!

Easter Hope ...

As you know, Easter is on the way. For many people, it's a holiday about bunnies, jelly beans, and hidden eggs. But for Christians, it's about so much more - the resurrection of Jesus!

Our friends at VeggieTales are sharing this important message through "An Easter Carol". In this story, Ebenezer Nezzer is out of control! He's trying to make Easter bigger than ever by filling London with plastic eggs. In just one unforgettable day and night, Cavis and Milward (Bob and Larry) and a music box angel named Hope must convince Nezzer that Easter is about more than candy and eggs. This very special VeggieTales film explains why millions of Christians around the world celebrate Easter past, present, and future.

Kids Corner Sneak Peek (III)

The Kids Corner season premiere is coming this weekend! Here's the third installment of our conversation with Barb Brouwer. Keep reading as she tells us a little more about what's happening this season!

Q. Kids Corner is definitely a program full of fun, excitement, and adventure, but each episode also contains a piece of truth that kids can apply to their own lives. What character qualities will we be learning about this season?

A. The main lesson this season is that God is control of what happens to us and He is faithful to help us. To reinforce this lesson, we'll be introducing a brand new song, which you will be able to hear in a few of this season's episodes and at our website.

To celebrate the new season of Kids Corner, you'll have the opportunity to win lots of Kids Corner prizes during PhoneTag and the Song Request Contest! Listen for your chance to win Kids Corner episode and song CDs, water bottles, coloring books, and a lot more!

Don't forget to check out the brand new season of Kids Corner, starting Saturday morning on HIS KIDS RADIO and on-demand at HisKids.net!

Learning to "Speak Australian"

I hope you had the chance to listen to this past weekend's edition of the Song Request Contest. Even though Buddy-Dodd wasn't in the studio to help me play though your requests...I did have a special guest in the studio - Mark, the lead singer of The Lads!

We had a fun time talking about their ministry and some new projects they're working on...and then, things got a little silly, when Mark spent some time teaching me how to "speak Australian", since their group is originally from New Zealand.

That part of our interview was so silly that it didn't make it to the radio...but it did make it to the Radio Recess Blog.

• Click here if you'd like to hear how my lesson went - I definitely have a lot of learning to do!
• And in case you missed our "official interview", you can listen to that by clicking here.

You've still got one more week to win great music from The Lads, so be sure to listen for your chance to dial-in and win during PhoneTag, or enter the Song Request Contest!

Win Music from The Lads!

As you probably know, The Lads are in the Prayer Chair during the month of February! We've been having a lot of fun talking about their ministry, and now, we want you to experience some of their great music for yourself!

Listen to HIS KIDS RADIO all week long to win one of three great CDs from The Lads when we play PhoneTag. We'll also be giving away copies during the Song Request Contest, so be sure to request your favorite song for your chance to win!

Speaking of the SRC, Amanda will be talking to Mark, the lead singer of The Lads this weekend! He'll be telling us about some fun things the group is working on, and also giving us a little lesson on how to speak "Australian". You won't want to miss it!

Our Prize This Week - Abe and the Amazing Promise

Have you ever had to wait for something you really, really wanted? If so, you know what it means to be patient. That's the virtue you can learn more about when you watch the latest DVD from VeggieTales, Abe and the Amazing Promise!

In this fun adventure, Bob the Tomato tries to bring the Bible story of Abraham and Sarah and their wait for a promised son to life, but when spitting camels and a film crew of zany French peas get involved, everyone's patience is tested! Will Bob pull everything together in time to teach a lesson?

This fun project also features the musical mis-adventure, Blunders in Boo-Boo-Ville, and a brand new Silly Song called Sneeze If You Need To.

You could win your own copy of Abe and the Amazing Promise when we play PhoneTag on HIS KIDS RADIO or during the Song Request Contest!

And don't forget, we're still collecting your questions for Mike Nawrocki, co-creator of VeggieTales. We'll be talking to him on Friday, so submit those questions soon through our website, or call the Phone Zone - 1-800-819-KIDS (5437)!

The Lads are in the Prayer Chair

This month, The Lads are in the HIS KIDS RADIO Prayer Chair! We recently had a chance to connect with Steve King, the drummer for the group.

Q. The Lads are new to many in the HIS KIDS listening audience - tell us about the group.
A. The Lads band is made up of three guys - Mark, Bjorn, and myself. Over the past 10 years, we've been ministering through music to kids and families in New Zealand and Australia. Now, we've made our way to the United States, bringing our music and excitement for God to an entirely new audience.

Q. What is the main goal of The Lads?
A. We are passionate about seeing kids and their families connect with God. For us it is really all about putting people in contact with their Creator. While we aim to produce an unforgettable concert experience, our ultimate passion is seeing God move powerfully in kids lives. This desire affects everything we do, from our live concerts through to the music we write.

Q. How can we pray for you guys this month?
A. There are a few things we'd appreciate prayers for:

1. Our TV show. We really feel that this concept has a role to play. We pray that God makes a way for Lads TV to get in front of as many kids and families as possible. We really feel that God has some cool plans for it (not just the 5 episodes we have done but for the production of future episodes), so we are praying that God will open up opportunities for these cool plans to unfold!
   
2. Pray for opportunities for The Lads to play more concerts. Since we're so new to the United States, one of our big challenges is finding ways for churches to learn about us and invite us to partner with them for a concert.
3. Overall guidance. We don't want the ministry of The Lads to be about us...we want to follow God's lead in everything we do. It would be awesome to pray that God helps us to discern the difference between our ideas and dreams and the plans God has for The Lads.

Thanks for praying for The Lads this month! Keep listening to HIS KIDS RADIO for your chance to win some of their music during PhoneTag and the Song Request Contest!

Something NEW from Seeds Family Worship!

Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in a happy dance...because there's a BRAND NEW project from Seeds Family Worship!

Over the past few years, the folks at Seeds have helped us learn some great Bible verses by putting them to rockin' music. I know that their songs have helped my family learn God's Word in a really fun way.

Their new album is called "The Power of Encouragement". It features 10 fantastic songs, with words taken directly from the pages of Scripture. I've had the CD in my car for about a week or so, and my 4-year old is already singing verses like Psalm 55:22 and Matthew 28:19. Very cool stuff! :)

We appreciate the ministry of Seeds Family Worship so much that we'll be featuring "The Power of Encouragement" all month long! You'll have tons of chances to dial in and win your very own copy when we play PhoneTag, and we'll also be giving several away each week during the Song Request Contest.

And, since the mission of Seeds is to plant the seeds of God's Word into young hearts, they're making it super easy to share their music with a friend.
