Happy Birthday, Amanda!

The word is out. Monday is Amanda's birthday. :-)

We started our celebration over the weekend by sharing a some brand new music on the Song Request Contest!

Special thanks go out to Brent Weber, Yancy and Jason Houser from Seeds Family Worship for helping us to party in style. We also had a chance to hear from Chip Richter who's in our prayer chair this month.

Yancy is in the Prayer Chair!

She's one of the most rockin' kids artists around, and this month, Yancy is in the HIS KIDS RADIO Prayer Chair!

She's had a crazy year, moving from Oklahoma to Tennessee. In January, she celebrated the release of her Little Praise Party DVD - a fun project that features 12 animated videos for preschoolers and other kids who like to sing and have fun.

She's also been doing a lot of traveling with the Super Start tour, leading worship for pre-teens at all of the events nation-wide. On top of all of this, she's also getting ready to release two new albums - Rock-N-Happy Dance Party in June, and a Christmas project in September! Along with the Christmas CD will come a Christmas tour, so 2009 is sure to be another busy year!

When we asked her about her prayer requests, here are a few she mentioned:

• "I'm in the middle of picking songs and writing songs for the Christmas CD. I'd appreciate your prayers for creativity and wisdom throughout every step of the project."
• "Every month, I am writing devotions for worship teams as well as planning worship sets and tools for worship leaders. Please pray for continued guidance and wisdom to write content that will be beneficial to these leaders and impact their churches!"
• "Pray for open doors and opportunities to get the music out there. There are a lot of people who have been impacted by the music already, but I believe that there are always bigger and better things. Please pray for open doors to share the music, and more importantly, the Gospel."
• "Please pray that I can find the right team. I believe God has the right person and/or people to help me accomplish everything I need on a daily basis, like manage and ship orders, and work with churches to help organize and prepare for my concerts and appearances. Please pray that God would lead me to the right team to help me."
• "Health and strength. I spend a lot of days "on the road" changing time zones and weather conditions. Please pray for continued good health and strength each day to accomplish all that God has for me."

Thanks so much for praying for Yancy this month! A little later this month we'll be giving away copies of the Little Praise Party DVD, so be sure to listen to HIS KIDS RADIO for more details about that!

We're Looking for Your Song Requests!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have the coolest job ever? Well, I may not be a rock-star (I'm working on that) or a professional athlete (I do coach a girl's soccer team), but I'm pretty sure that I have one of the best jobs out there.

That's because I get to spend a lot of time making HIS KIDS RADIO a great station for kids and their families. I have a lot of fun putting all of the pieces together so the programs and music will play each day.

One of the best parts of my job is getting to hear all of the great music from artists like Rob Biagi, Uncle Charlie Bancroft, Seeds Family Worship, Brent Weber, Chip Richter, and more. And every once in awhile, I get to see them face-to-face at different events around the country. All of our artists have a fun style all their own, which is why I have A LOT of favorite songs!

We know that YOU have some favorite songs too! That's why we take time each week to play them during the Song Request Contest.

To sweeten the deal just a little, we always have great prizes for a few kids who give us their song requests! This week, you'll have a chance to win a very fun CD from Yancy called "Little Praise Party"!

So don't delay - send us your song requests today and be sure to learn more about your favorite HIS KIDS RADIO artists when you visit HisKids.net!

Yancy is finally taking some time off after a very busy summer concert schedule. She and her husband are in the process of building a new house in their new home state of Tennessee. This fall she will be hitting the road again with the Super Start tour, which is a two day event for 4th, 5th and 6th graders. She will be traveling to 15 different cities this school year leading worship for the events.

In addition to the Super Start events, she will be doing lots of other concerts, and worship leading at churches and other conferences and events. She's also working on a DVD version of the "Little Praise Party" album that will be released in January. This fun project will feature animated videos for 12 songs.

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

• Pray that construction on their house will run smoothly and that they'll be able to move in by Christmas.

Yancy is in the Prayer Chair!

She's one of the most rockin' kids artists out there, and this month, Yancy is in the Prayer Chair!

Yancy is a singer, songwriter and worship leader. She's shared the stage with some big names in Christian music, including Newsboys, 4Him, Sonic Flood, and many others. She's also spent five years as a congregational worship leader, overseeing worship for people of all ages.

These days, Yancy leads worship at conferences, camps and retreats. Yancy's goal through her ministry is to share the love of Christ through music. She hopes to make good music that glorifies God and that reaches the audience she’s standing in front of.

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

• Pray that a lot of kids, families, and churches will be able to learn about Yancy's music.
• Pray that God will give Yancy a lot of opportunities to travel and share her music with famillies all over the world.
• Pray for the sale of Yancy's house. She's hoping to relocate her ministry from Oklahoma to Tennessee in the near future.

We hope you'll pray for Yancy throughout the month - and don't forget, she's got a BRAND NEW CD called "Rock-N-Happy Heart". Click here to learn more and to listen to the entire project.

While you're there, be sure to check out her new Kid's Page, where you'll find fun facts, song lyrics, and a lot more!
