This summer has been full of surprises and interesting dynamics. We have been traveling the world not just entertaining people but actually trying to be a light in a dark world. The trials were plentiful again this year. Losing loved ones, strained relationships, and unforeseen circumstances. I just want to ask our family to continue to pray with us.
The summer is not over and even if the "buzz" dies down the ministry won't stop. We still need prayer and more support than ever.
As an encouragement just want to plead with our family, Don't Waste Your:
Time - Knowing tons of sports stats, lyrics, trivia answers is great and wonderful, but if you know all that and none of God's word there is a problem. If we can spend time becoming the greatest X-box player and not study God's word, develop gifts, serve others, etc. I'd say we are wasting precious time we have been given.
Money - "You have your money as a steward, not as an owner. You don't own anything, not even your bodies. You are a manager. Get the notion that you own things out of your head. This means that your money is wasted if it does not acheive the purposes of its owner - God. You have been entrusted with money so that the way you use it will show that Jesus is more valuable than money. How will you do that? That's the challenge of life in America." -John Piper
We even ask you consider giving to REACHLIFE. Check the link for more info.
Talents - Don't spend all your time chasing down some bigger way to use your gifts. Use them right where you are. Your local church, city, community, and family can benefit greatly and see how incredible God is through you. Be faithful with the little and God may entrust you with more. He may not though.
Remember whatever you do... do all for the glory of God.

To GOD Be the Glory!
I just started to free style; I guess I am just trying to find my style/ Yah thatâ??s right to spit lyrical verses/
But wait we ainâ??t talking about smoking, joking, or anything corrupting; but rather things truly worthwhile/ We singing about abstinence, we singing forgiveness, we singing about repentance, the most unthread coarse/ Yah thatâ??s right morals bigger than a horse/
Hook: Hovah-Jireh hip-hop is full of liars/ Guys arenâ??t your tired, of listening to these liars/ Come unto Christian, hip hop thatâ??s popping/ Then watch your life change through the Messiah/
In the past hip hop music was used to bring dudes closer to hell; the place where those who delight in sin will dwell/ Things concerning a lifestyle without discipline they say is the only thing that will sell/ youth got music that say parental advisory yet parentâ??s are like oh well/ the music contain filthy stuff/ Itâ??s all about smoking stuff, till you get lung cancer because your body had enough/ So why do it because it will make you though/ Sounds stupid, yet so many young minds are listening to it/
Hook: Hovah-Jireh hip-hop is full of liars/ Guys arenâ??t your tired, of listening to these liars/ Come unto Christian, hip hop thatâ??s popping/ Then watch your life will change through living for the Messiah/
Luckily some cut on to this destructive nonsense and started to vent/ Maybe is because after buying liquor and smoking up they didnâ??t have enough for rent/ Even worse their clothes always had an evil scent / Yet quality hip hop music ainâ??t in stores; So some start to believe the lie that hip hop is about guns, sex, and hores/ Thus we find carnal desires without moral attire; and so we see that we are in a situation thatâ??s most dyer/ But thanks be to God we have artist whose morals are as hot as flaming fire; who spit God and things that are morally higher/ So young bucks know that you have music that brighter; songs that sing about the living Messiah/
Hook: Hovah-Jireh hip-hop is full of liars/ Guys arenâ??t your tired, of listening to these liars/ Come unto Christian, hip hop thatâ??s popping/ Then watch your life will change through living for the Messiah/

You guys need to come over here to London again. Last time my wife had a fellowship at our house, and in true sacrificial style I skipped the concert to support her and be 'the man of the house'...
I'll holla at you with some of my beats soon. Love and prayers from the UK.
And convicting words. I am stirred to brush up on my ryhme game, and start making beats again - I'll really appreciate it if I do when I go out to start a work for God one day.
Hey bwana David, pole sana. Unatoka Kenya? Minim Kenya (hamsini/hamsini na Kizungu). Lecrae na Reach Records ni kubwa ndani Kenya? Ni mzuri sana. Kiswahili yangu si mzuri, samahani. Nili Kenyani kwa April - kaka yangu rafiki yake ni Daddy Owen pia. Mungu Akubariki!
God bless!
God bless you and remember DON"T WASTE YOUR LIFE!
Since I too aspire to preach the Gospel through music i ask that you and the other prayer warriors at Reach Records pray that the ministry that God has called me to do prevails.
Remeber that I thank you but God Blesses you. Selah.

"There will come a time when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."
(2 Timothy 4:3)
May God bless you and your efforts, brother.
I am 36 years old (an old school Hip-Hop head!) and am part of a ministry team called Destined Youth Ministries based out of Hawthorne, CA - http://destinedyouth.com. I'm desperately trying to expose our band of teenagers to the world of Holy Ghost Hip Hop through your album and the albums of other artists. Our kids are struggling with accepting the truth that Jesus/God/The Holy Spirit is real and the world they live in is a lie. Thanks to your ministry - specifically your song "Truth" - I have found a way to help explain this truth to them on their level. Pray with me that our kids receive it.
Thank God for your ministry and I hope you and your squad hit Southern Cali soon!
In Christ

From the inside, out" from that moment i knew that i didnt need to try to change and that through GOD everything where possible. And i just wanna thank you so much Lacrae for everything you done and that you changed my life and without a young and inspiring rapper like you and Christ i wouldnt make it and thank you once again.
My son was given a cd of yours and I listened to it as I listen to everything he gets. When I heard you, I knew that you were anointed. It was the same passion I had for Christ when I was young. There wasn't a Lecrae to encourage me because you weren't born. What you are allowing God to do through you is what has been needed for a long time. A young man who stepped up and took a leadership role for Christ. I am so proud of you.
I listened to your cd and heard Trip Lee. I felt a motherly bond for the two of you. I would like to adopt you as my spiritual son. Please know that I am not trying to replace your mother or anyone else in your life that you look to as a mother. I just believe that God has given you an extra one. He has called me to be a mother to more than just my children. My children and I talk about everything and they are free to talk about their joys, pains, worries or just hangin'.
Pray about this and let the peace of God lead you. If you feel led to, write me back. I will support you and the ministry with my prayers and funds. If there is anything else I can do let me know.
In my heart, the two of you are already my sons and I will do everything I can to help you.
Go in God and may His peace rest upon you and your household. May He increase you and prosper you in all your ways.
