One Marvelous Mom...

We've had so much fun reading the entries we've received for our Marvelous Mother's Day Giveaway! One of our favorites didn't come from a kid - it came from one of our favorite artists - Brent Weber!

Here's what he had to say about his mom -

My mom is super special because she sacrificed herself to help kids hear cool Christ centered music. You see...my mom is a nurse and 17 years ago she worked overtime all year long to save up extra money to buy me a keyboard so I could write music. She sacrificed her time, gave up a lot of sleep and gave the extra money she made... for me! When she bought me the keyboard I began to teach myself how to program and write music and still to this day I have kept that keyboard as a great memory to the start to my music ministry!
My mom totally ROCKS! Thanks mom! I love you!!!

It's not too late to enter your mom into our Marvelous Mother's Day Giveaway! We've got 15 great prizes from our friends at Hearts at Home for some of the nominated moms, and prizes for their kids too! We'll pick the winners during the weekend of May 9, so get your entries in today!

Brent Weber is in the Prayer Chair!

Brent Weber is in the HIS KIDS RADIO Prayer Chair for the month of November. He's busily working on a few new projects, and already getting prepared for another full summer of concert ministry in 2009!

On top of being one of our favorite musicians, he's also a children's pastor at his church and a father of three.

As you're praying for Brent this month, here are a few requests to keep in mind:

• Brent's crew is finishing up the recording and making a new DVD. Please pray that all of the technical and logistic issues go as planned - they're on a very tight schedule to get everything done.
• Pray for wisdom on handling and caring for people in Brent's church who are going through tough times.
• Pray that Brent will have peace as he deals with many hurting people in his ministry at church and on the road at concerts. It can be overwhelming to see all of the hurting people in the world; pray that Brent can remember and share with others the message that God is in control.
• Please pray for Brent's family as they'll be traveling in the near future; pray that they will have safety and quality time together.
• Brent already has a full schedule of camps and concerts for next summer. Please pray for the kids and families that will be at those events, that God will change their hearts and move them into a relationship with Christ.

Brent is in the Prayer Chair!

He's a children's pastor, a great musician, and an all-around fun guy, and this month, Brent Weber is in the HIS KIDS RADIO Prayer Chair!

Brent is very busy these days with concerts and in his role as a children's pastor at his church. He's also working in new areas of technology to develop programs that are cool and interesting, as well as effective in reaching kids for Christ.

As a children's pastor, he spends a lot of time developing weekly programs that include Bible messages, skits, worship music, crazy games, and a whole lot more. He is blessed to have the opportunity to minister to hundreds of kids each week through many creative ways.

He's already started traveling for this year's concert season. This summer, he'll be on the road a lot, playing at camps, family concerts, and outreach events. He loves the opportunity he has to meet new people and share with others who have the same goal in ministering to kids. His sons, ages 9 and 11 get to travel with him, so that adds to the adventure and fun!

While you're praying for Brent this month, here are a few requests to keep in mind:

Pray for Brent's safety and the safety of his family during the times when he is on the road.

Pray that God will give Brent an open mind and opportunities to develop his creativity.

Pray that Brent will be able to continue to connect with others who have a passion to reach and teach children about Christ.

Pray for the kids and families that Brent comes in contact with. Pray that they will have open hearts and minds to hear the Good News of Jesus.
