I want to spend my life
00:00:01.36\00:00:07.24
Mending broken people
00:00:07.27\00:00:12.07
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.11\00:00:18.31
Removing pain
00:00:18.35\00:00:23.28
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.32\00:00:29.56
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.59\00:00:34.13
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.16\00:00:39.83
Mending broken people
00:00:39.87\00:00:45.31
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.34\00:00:50.95
Mending broken people
00:00:50.98\00:00:54.68
Hello, and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:07.10\00:01:10.63
I'm Jill Morikone.
00:01:10.67\00:01:12.00
We're so glad that
you have taken time
00:01:12.03\00:01:13.77
from your day to join us.
00:01:13.80\00:01:15.90
We thank you for
your love, your prayers,
00:01:15.94\00:01:18.27
your financial
support to this ministry.
00:01:18.31\00:01:20.98
Without you,
3ABN would not exist.
00:01:21.01\00:01:23.35
Without you, we cannot
take the gospel message
00:01:23.38\00:01:26.65
to a lost and dying world.
00:01:26.68\00:01:28.38
So excited that you have
joined us for this program.
00:01:28.42\00:01:30.92
I'm looking forward to
hearing what God is doing
00:01:30.95\00:01:34.86
in each one of our guest's lives
00:01:34.89\00:01:36.32
and through their ministry.
00:01:36.36\00:01:38.19
You know, I love
the Today program,
00:01:38.23\00:01:40.33
because it gives us a
time to bring you at home
00:01:40.36\00:01:43.40
different ministries,
different testimonies,
00:01:43.43\00:01:46.40
hear what God is
doing through people
00:01:46.43\00:01:48.80
all over the world.
00:01:48.84\00:01:50.67
And today's
program is no exception.
00:01:50.71\00:01:52.77
We have a special music group
with us here, Kids In Tune.
00:01:52.81\00:01:57.51
And we have both of
the cofounders with us
00:01:57.55\00:02:00.02
to begin with, we're going
to be switching out segments,
00:02:00.05\00:02:03.39
we're gonna hear
from some of the kids,
00:02:03.42\00:02:05.75
we're gonna see
some of the songs
00:02:05.79\00:02:07.52
from your brand new project.
00:02:07.56\00:02:08.89
But we have Gissela Kroll.
00:02:08.92\00:02:10.79
And you are the cofounder
and director of Kids In Tune.
00:02:10.83\00:02:14.06
And, Gissela, we're
so glad to have you here.
00:02:14.10\00:02:15.83
Thank you.
00:02:15.86\00:02:17.20
We are very
blessed to be here today.
00:02:17.23\00:02:18.73
And sitting next to
Gissela is Faith Martin.
00:02:18.77\00:02:21.47
And you also are cofounder
00:02:21.50\00:02:24.01
and you are
coordinator for Kids In Tune.
00:02:24.04\00:02:25.67
And, Faith, thank you
so much for coming as well.
00:02:25.71\00:02:28.01
It's our honor to be here.
00:02:28.04\00:02:29.64
So tell me a little
bit, we want to hear
00:02:29.68\00:02:31.61
just a little bit
about both of you ladies,
00:02:31.65\00:02:33.01
and then we want to hear
00:02:33.05\00:02:34.38
what in the
world is Kids In Tune,
00:02:34.42\00:02:35.75
and we want to hear
about your ministry.
00:02:35.78\00:02:37.22
But we'll start with you, Faith.
00:02:37.25\00:02:38.75
Tell me a little bit about
your family and your history
00:02:38.79\00:02:41.86
and then we'll
get into Kids In Tune.
00:02:41.89\00:02:43.76
I live in Nashville, Tennessee.
I have a 13-year old daughter.
00:02:43.79\00:02:46.53
And we moved to
Nashville about 10 years ago,
00:02:46.56\00:02:51.50
and at that point
is when Gissela and I
00:02:51.53\00:02:53.57
started talking about our church
00:02:53.60\00:02:55.67
and the need for
a children's choir.
00:02:55.70\00:02:58.51
At that time, I
had a three year old
00:02:58.54\00:03:00.04
who was very
interested in singing
00:03:00.08\00:03:01.84
and would just sing
herself to sleep and sing going
00:03:01.88\00:03:04.35
through the house all day long.
00:03:04.38\00:03:06.41
And so it was
really something I knew
00:03:06.45\00:03:09.62
that would speak to
children that love to sing.
00:03:09.65\00:03:13.29
Amen.
00:03:13.32\00:03:14.66
And before we go any further
with that thought, Gissela,
00:03:14.69\00:03:17.13
tell us about your family.
00:03:17.16\00:03:19.19
My name is Gissela Kroll.
00:03:19.23\00:03:20.76
I was born and raised in Brazil.
00:03:20.80\00:03:22.93
I noticed that
cute little accent.
00:03:22.96\00:03:25.73
I moved...
00:03:25.77\00:03:27.10
Actually on Sabbath, it
will be the 19th anniversary
00:03:27.14\00:03:29.60
of my arrival in
the United States.
00:03:29.64\00:03:32.84
So I moved to
California to go to school.
00:03:32.87\00:03:35.44
And there, I met my
husband and then we got married
00:03:35.48\00:03:38.88
and moved to
Nashville 10 years ago.
00:03:38.91\00:03:41.32
Okay. Do you have kids?
00:03:41.35\00:03:42.95
We have three
beautiful daughters
00:03:42.98\00:03:45.65
and we're very
happy to be in Nashville.
00:03:45.69\00:03:48.06
Amen.
00:03:48.09\00:03:49.42
So you said, Faith,
00:03:49.46\00:03:50.79
that your
daughter really wanted...
00:03:50.83\00:03:52.39
She loved to sing and
wanted to be involved in music.
00:03:52.43\00:03:54.30
Now were you two friends
when Kids In Tune began or...
00:03:54.33\00:03:58.37
No.
00:03:58.40\00:03:59.73
Actually, I had
small nieces, and a nephew,
00:03:59.77\00:04:04.41
and I noticed the amount of kids
00:04:04.44\00:04:06.78
that were in
Madison Campus Church.
00:04:06.81\00:04:11.21
And at the time
our friends were like,
00:04:11.25\00:04:13.85
"You have to do
something with these kids.
00:04:13.88\00:04:16.08
You have to do the kids' choir."
00:04:16.12\00:04:17.45
And I'm like, "Kids'
choir? I don't think so."
00:04:17.49\00:04:19.89
But as...
00:04:19.92\00:04:21.72
Do you have a
degree in music? I do not.
00:04:21.76\00:04:23.69
I have a degree
in Kinesiology. Okay.
00:04:23.73\00:04:25.73
But music has
been a part of my life
00:04:25.76\00:04:27.63
since I was four years old.
00:04:27.66\00:04:29.80
And I have
actually sung my entire life
00:04:29.83\00:04:33.34
and done it professionally
for many years in Brazil
00:04:33.37\00:04:35.70
before I moved to California.
00:04:35.74\00:04:38.11
But...
00:04:38.14\00:04:39.74
So anyways, I noticed
that there were a lot of talent
00:04:39.77\00:04:44.35
and there were a lot of kids.
00:04:44.38\00:04:45.71
And you both were
in the same church.
00:04:45.75\00:04:47.58
We were.
00:04:47.62\00:04:48.95
This is the Madison
Campus Church in Tennessee.
00:04:48.98\00:04:50.95
So I was asking around,
"Oh, okay, I might do this,
00:04:50.99\00:04:55.92
but who is
there to help me out?"
00:04:55.96\00:04:58.16
And at the time,
that's when I met Faith
00:04:58.19\00:05:00.86
and the Jodie
McKague was there as well
00:05:00.90\00:05:04.07
who has now passed.
00:05:04.10\00:05:05.43
Oh, I'm sorry.
00:05:05.47\00:05:06.97
It's a perfect
example of not knowing
00:05:07.00\00:05:09.20
you're volunteering
for something when I asked
00:05:09.24\00:05:12.01
if there was a
children's choir at Madison
00:05:12.04\00:05:14.54
because of my
daughter's interest in music.
00:05:14.58\00:05:16.51
And they're like,
00:05:16.54\00:05:17.88
"Oh, let me
introduce you to Gissela."
00:05:17.91\00:05:19.25
So that was I remember the table
00:05:19.28\00:05:21.62
we were introduced at.
00:05:21.65\00:05:23.12
And they were like
Gissela is talking about
00:05:23.15\00:05:25.62
a children's choir
and I found myself...
00:05:25.65\00:05:28.72
We found ourselves
volunteered for the ministry.
00:05:28.76\00:05:32.96
Yes.
00:05:32.99\00:05:34.33
So it was born out of a
desire to help young people,
00:05:34.36\00:05:36.90
to have young people
get involved in music.
00:05:36.93\00:05:38.43
Yes.
00:05:38.47\00:05:39.80
Because they had
a passion for music.
00:05:39.83\00:05:42.30
How many years ago was that?
00:05:42.34\00:05:43.84
This is our 10th
anniversary. Okay.
00:05:43.87\00:05:46.68
So September, 10
years ago is when we began.
00:05:46.71\00:05:52.48
So this coming September
00:05:52.51\00:05:53.85
will be our actual
10th year anniversary.
00:05:53.88\00:05:56.69
And yes, it
began out of a desire
00:05:56.72\00:05:59.12
to instill in
children a love for God,
00:05:59.15\00:06:04.23
a love for
worship, and for music.
00:06:04.26\00:06:06.90
But most importantly,
00:06:06.93\00:06:08.26
a desire to serve
even at a young age.
00:06:08.30\00:06:12.03
Yeah. That's wonderful.
00:06:12.07\00:06:13.94
And now I
checked on your website,
00:06:13.97\00:06:16.40
they don't have auditions.
00:06:16.44\00:06:18.01
Now for any choir, I mean,
00:06:18.04\00:06:19.71
I did music at our
local church school.
00:06:19.74\00:06:21.84
And you think that's
imperative to do auditions.
00:06:21.88\00:06:24.85
So what do you do if a kid says,
00:06:24.88\00:06:26.41
"I want to sing."
00:06:26.45\00:06:27.78
And they really can't sing.
00:06:27.82\00:06:29.15
I mean, what do
you do with that?
00:06:29.18\00:06:30.85
Everyone is welcome
and there is no auditions
00:06:30.89\00:06:34.56
because I didn't want
anybody to be turned down
00:06:34.59\00:06:38.59
that had a desire to serve,
that had a desire to sing.
00:06:38.63\00:06:43.77
And I'll tell you that we have
00:06:43.80\00:06:45.60
some extra
angels singing with us.
00:06:45.63\00:06:48.47
And yes, you can
hear a lot of times
00:06:48.50\00:06:51.44
that little first row
with the four year olds
00:06:51.47\00:06:53.78
that are still learning to sing
00:06:53.81\00:06:56.28
and you can hear
them a little bit,
00:06:56.31\00:06:57.95
but the mass of the choir
sound covers that up very well.
00:06:57.98\00:07:02.65
But most importantly,
what I have seen is that
00:07:02.68\00:07:08.12
the vast majority of kids
eventually find their pitch.
00:07:08.16\00:07:13.56
Amen.
00:07:13.60\00:07:14.93
I've seen that
with my own daughter.
00:07:14.96\00:07:16.93
I was like, "Lord,
really my daughter can sing.
00:07:16.97\00:07:20.67
You know this is
important to me."
00:07:20.70\00:07:23.47
So she started in the
choir when she was four.
00:07:23.51\00:07:26.34
And by six, she found
her pitch and that's happened
00:07:26.37\00:07:31.18
to many of the
children we have seen.
00:07:31.21\00:07:33.05
So it has been very fun
to watch them grow and learn.
00:07:33.08\00:07:36.72
So they start at four.
00:07:36.75\00:07:38.25
Mm-hm. Okay.
00:07:38.29\00:07:39.62
And what's the top
end of the age range?
00:07:39.65\00:07:41.59
Well, they go to
about sixth grade.
00:07:41.62\00:07:45.93
About sixth grade is usually
when they're getting older,
00:07:45.96\00:07:49.36
they're usually involved in
some other music activities.
00:07:49.40\00:07:53.07
Then at sixth grade,
we do a special audition
00:07:53.10\00:07:57.07
for the females, the girls
that want to stay in the choir.
00:07:57.11\00:08:00.94
Oh, nice.
00:08:00.98\00:08:02.31
And if they have a
desire to stay in the choir,
00:08:02.34\00:08:03.95
we have a special
group, that's our Teens In Tune
00:08:03.98\00:08:07.92
that Gissela
works with on harmonies.
00:08:07.95\00:08:10.55
Oh, that's exciting. Yes, yes.
00:08:10.59\00:08:12.49
And it adds a
beautiful component
00:08:12.52\00:08:14.02
to the overall choir.
00:08:14.06\00:08:15.76
And those girls helped her
out a lot was the younger kids
00:08:15.79\00:08:19.29
and gives the younger
girls an aspiration where,
00:08:19.33\00:08:23.73
"I want to, you
know, be in Teens In Tune."
00:08:23.77\00:08:27.30
And we have some great
talent in that group as well.
00:08:27.34\00:08:29.17
Yes.
00:08:29.20\00:08:30.54
That will be a great mentorship.
00:08:30.57\00:08:31.91
Now I know we
have to move quickly
00:08:31.94\00:08:33.41
because we have
quite a bit of things
00:08:33.44\00:08:35.21
to cover in this interview.
00:08:35.24\00:08:36.71
Just give me a couple statistics
00:08:36.75\00:08:38.21
and then we're going
to set up the first roll.
00:08:38.25\00:08:40.52
You all have
released a brand new DVD
00:08:40.55\00:08:42.55
and that's what we want to
talk about is that new DVD.
00:08:42.58\00:08:45.45
But how many kids are in
the choir in Kids In Tune
00:08:45.49\00:08:47.69
and how many are
in Teens In Tune?
00:08:47.72\00:08:50.43
Each year, we kind of grow.
00:08:50.46\00:08:52.03
We started with
a very small group
00:08:52.06\00:08:53.50
about 20 to 30 kids.
00:08:53.53\00:08:55.00
And then last year, we
had about 80 registered.
00:08:55.03\00:08:57.07
Eighty? This is a
big choir. Yes, yes.
00:08:57.10\00:09:00.84
And in Teens In Tune,
we had 12 this last year.
00:09:00.87\00:09:03.94
So there was a
large group of girls
00:09:03.97\00:09:08.71
that moved on
into our Teens In Tune.
00:09:08.74\00:09:10.51
Amen.
00:09:10.55\00:09:11.88
So tell me, before we
watch the first song here
00:09:11.91\00:09:13.78
from the DVD, why did
you want to create a DVD?
00:09:13.82\00:09:17.12
It is very
interesting you asked that
00:09:17.15\00:09:19.42
because the idea to create a DVD
00:09:19.45\00:09:23.02
came out of the
last time we were here.
00:09:23.06\00:09:26.23
And we interviewed Danny
and we had just released a CD.
00:09:26.26\00:09:31.47
And we had a
beautiful program with him here
00:09:31.50\00:09:33.90
telling about our CD.
00:09:33.94\00:09:35.27
And the kids actually were here,
00:09:35.30\00:09:36.64
a few of them
anyways, and performed.
00:09:36.67\00:09:39.44
And as we were leaving here,
00:09:39.47\00:09:42.31
Danny and I were
talking and he said,
00:09:42.34\00:09:43.95
"Gissela, you got to
think about recording a DVD.
00:09:43.98\00:09:47.25
And you're welcome to
come and use our studios.
00:09:47.28\00:09:50.72
But you will see that
you have a broader reach
00:09:50.75\00:09:54.09
with a DVD than with a CD."
00:09:54.12\00:09:55.72
And he was the one
that inspired us to do that.
00:09:55.76\00:09:58.73
And I went home and
started thinking about it.
00:09:58.76\00:10:01.40
And about several months
later, we began the project.
00:10:01.43\00:10:05.87
And it was with a desire
to reach even more children
00:10:05.90\00:10:10.04
and to be
ministering and inspiring kids
00:10:10.07\00:10:13.48
all over the world.
00:10:13.51\00:10:14.84
Amen. That's wonderful.
00:10:14.88\00:10:16.21
What we're going to do
now is we're going to go
00:10:16.24\00:10:17.65
to one of the songs
from this DVD project,
00:10:17.68\00:10:20.05
then we're going
to play musical chairs
00:10:20.08\00:10:22.05
during that song,
and when we come out
00:10:22.08\00:10:23.75
we'll be talking
to some of the kids.
00:10:23.79\00:10:25.82
And we'll be
hearing what it was like
00:10:25.85\00:10:27.72
this DVD process
and what it's like
00:10:27.76\00:10:29.42
for them in Kids In Tune.
00:10:29.46\00:10:30.89
But let's go to
one of those songs.
00:10:30.93\00:10:32.29
This is called Thankful Heart.
00:10:32.33\00:10:34.76
"I will give thanks to
You, Lord, with all my heart.
00:10:39.27\00:10:43.57
I'll tell all
Your wonderful deeds.
00:10:43.61\00:10:47.54
I will be glad
and rejoice in You.
00:10:47.58\00:10:50.65
I will sing the
praises of Your name,
00:10:50.68\00:10:52.55
O Most High." Psalms 9:1-2.
00:10:52.58\00:10:55.18
My open hands receive
00:11:12.10\00:11:16.40
Blessings You pour out on me
00:11:16.44\00:11:20.31
Your tender care
00:11:20.34\00:11:22.11
Restores my soul
00:11:22.14\00:11:28.42
Your faithfulness endures
00:11:28.45\00:11:32.45
As mercy covers all my sin
00:11:32.49\00:11:36.56
Your perfect love
00:11:36.59\00:11:38.29
Has made me whole
00:11:38.33\00:11:44.67
Beyond the words
I'm searching for
00:11:44.70\00:11:48.67
I long to give
You something more
00:11:48.70\00:11:54.14
Here's my thankful heart
00:11:54.18\00:11:59.11
Thankful heart
00:11:59.15\00:12:03.18
Offered up in gratitude
00:12:03.22\00:12:07.06
For all You've done for me
00:12:07.09\00:12:10.29
Here's my thankful heart
00:12:10.33\00:12:15.43
Thankful heart
00:12:15.46\00:12:19.50
Offered up in praise to You
00:12:19.53\00:12:24.97
I'm unworthy of the gift
00:12:31.68\00:12:36.08
Of Your unfailing love
00:12:36.12\00:12:39.62
But You embrace me
00:12:39.65\00:12:41.72
As I am
00:12:41.76\00:12:47.86
You provide my needs
00:12:47.90\00:12:51.87
And raise a
harvest from the seeds
00:12:51.90\00:12:55.47
I sow in vain
00:12:55.50\00:12:58.57
I bless Your name
00:12:58.61\00:13:04.01
Beyond the words
I'm searching for
00:13:04.05\00:13:08.12
I long to give You so much more
00:13:08.15\00:13:13.36
Here's my thankful heart
00:13:13.39\00:13:18.43
Thankful heart
00:13:18.46\00:13:22.56
Offered up in gratitude
00:13:22.60\00:13:26.37
For all You've done for me
00:13:26.40\00:13:29.60
Here's my thankful heart
00:13:29.64\00:13:34.78
Thankful heart
00:13:34.81\00:13:38.81
Offered up in praise to You
00:13:38.85\00:13:43.85
From the raising of the sun
00:13:46.12\00:13:49.76
Till it's going down
00:13:49.79\00:13:54.53
The name of the Lord be praised
00:13:54.56\00:14:02.24
Here's my thankful heart
00:14:02.27\00:14:07.28
Thankful heart
00:14:07.31\00:14:11.38
Offered up in gratitude
00:14:11.41\00:14:15.18
For all You've done for me
00:14:15.22\00:14:18.49
Here's my thankful heart
00:14:18.52\00:14:23.59
Thankful heart
00:14:23.63\00:14:27.63
Offered up in praise to You
00:14:27.66\00:14:32.43
Offered up in praise to You
00:14:35.80\00:14:41.01
Praise to You
00:14:54.22\00:14:59.19
Amen. What a
beautiful song. Thankful Heart.
00:15:11.94\00:15:15.88
So we are just switching
out here during that song.
00:15:15.91\00:15:19.68
And we have
added two of the kids,
00:15:19.71\00:15:21.22
one from Kids In Tune,
one from Teens In Tune.
00:15:21.25\00:15:24.82
So we have Katie
Monroe. And you just graduated.
00:15:24.85\00:15:29.39
Do you call it
graduated to Teens In Tune?
00:15:29.42\00:15:32.73
I wouldn't say graduated,
00:15:32.76\00:15:35.36
I would say
moved on to, so yeah.
00:15:35.40\00:15:38.73
Nice.
00:15:38.77\00:15:40.10
When did you
enter Teens In Tune?
00:15:40.14\00:15:41.47
What grade are you in now?
00:15:41.50\00:15:42.84
I'm going into seventh
and I entered last year.
00:15:42.87\00:15:45.01
Okay, so it goes to sixth
grade as we mentioned before
00:15:45.04\00:15:47.68
and then you just jump into...
00:15:47.71\00:15:49.34
Wonderful.
00:15:49.38\00:15:50.71
So we want to
hear a little bit about
00:15:50.75\00:15:52.08
what it's like to being in
Teens In Tune and Kids In Tune
00:15:52.11\00:15:54.68
and the DVD process.
00:15:54.72\00:15:56.05
But sitting next to
you is Sophia Walwyn.
00:15:56.08\00:15:59.39
And, Sophia, we're
so glad you're here too.
00:15:59.42\00:16:01.72
Thank you. And
you are Kids In Tune.
00:16:01.76\00:16:04.26
And I see your
shirt is different here.
00:16:04.29\00:16:05.86
Yes, ma'am. Okay.
00:16:05.89\00:16:07.40
And how long have
you been in Kids In Tune?
00:16:07.43\00:16:08.93
I've been in Kids In Tune
since I was four years old.
00:16:08.96\00:16:12.33
Wow! You like to sing?
00:16:12.37\00:16:14.44
I love to sing.
And she's good at it.
00:16:14.47\00:16:18.97
Now do you sing
parts in Kids In Tune
00:16:19.01\00:16:20.78
or is that just
in Teens In Tune?
00:16:20.81\00:16:22.44
I have a solo in various songs.
00:16:22.48\00:16:26.95
And Trust in
You by Lauren Daigle
00:16:26.98\00:16:29.58
but most of the
time, we all sing together.
00:16:29.62\00:16:33.76
Nice, that's wonderful.
00:16:33.79\00:16:36.49
And how long
have you been in it?
00:16:36.52\00:16:39.19
I over all in choir,
I don't know how long,
00:16:39.23\00:16:43.13
but I started in like
00:16:43.16\00:16:45.53
when I was four
or five years old.
00:16:45.57\00:16:47.64
Wow, so a long time.
00:16:47.67\00:16:49.37
Yeah. Yeah.
00:16:49.40\00:16:50.74
Okay.
00:16:50.77\00:16:52.11
So let's talk about the
song we just heard first
00:16:52.14\00:16:54.14
and then I want to
hear some about the process
00:16:54.18\00:16:55.91
and what it's
like being in that.
00:16:55.94\00:16:57.28
So, Gissela, tell me
about the song Thankful Heart.
00:16:57.31\00:17:01.12
I heard Thankful
Heart about 10 years ago.
00:17:01.15\00:17:06.25
It was one of
the very first songs
00:17:06.29\00:17:08.19
we started singing.
00:17:08.22\00:17:10.19
It was written by a
lady that lives in Nashville.
00:17:10.23\00:17:12.96
I blinking on her name now.
00:17:12.99\00:17:15.23
But I love the
message that it says,
00:17:15.26\00:17:18.83
"My open hands are ready
to receive your blessings
00:17:18.87\00:17:22.70
and I thank you for everything.
00:17:22.74\00:17:25.37
Here's my thankful
heart," we keep singing that,
00:17:25.41\00:17:28.38
"Offered up in praise to you."
00:17:28.41\00:17:30.61
And that has been our theme song
00:17:30.65\00:17:33.08
and it's our CD and DVD title.
00:17:33.11\00:17:35.98
So we love that song.
It's a beautiful song.
00:17:36.02\00:17:39.22
Now do each of you have a
favorite song that you sing?
00:17:39.25\00:17:42.82
My favorite will
probably be El Shaddai.
00:17:42.86\00:17:46.76
It's just beautiful.
00:17:46.80\00:17:50.67
It is. I love El Shaddai.
00:17:50.70\00:17:52.47
What about you, Sophia?
00:17:52.50\00:17:53.84
I love all of them,
00:17:53.87\00:17:55.20
but I tend to
favorite Southern Gospel.
00:17:55.24\00:17:59.27
Okay.
00:17:59.31\00:18:00.78
And that's one of the
songs on this project too.
00:18:00.81\00:18:02.61
I have the DVD here.
You have Blu-ray and DVD.
00:18:02.64\00:18:06.35
Nice, Thankful
Heart is your title card,
00:18:06.38\00:18:08.55
your opening song.
00:18:08.58\00:18:10.29
I like that.
00:18:10.32\00:18:11.65
So what would be one
of your favorite things
00:18:11.69\00:18:14.82
about being in Kids
In Tune or Teens In Tune?
00:18:14.86\00:18:17.29
What's something
you like about it?
00:18:17.33\00:18:19.86
Well, I just like the
fact that we're, you know,
00:18:19.89\00:18:23.77
ministering to a bunch of kids,
00:18:23.80\00:18:28.47
which is awesome I guess,
00:18:28.50\00:18:31.57
being in Teens In Tune.
00:18:31.61\00:18:32.94
Amen.
00:18:32.97\00:18:34.31
Do you all do a lot of concerts?
00:18:34.34\00:18:36.28
We sing, we have one performance
00:18:36.31\00:18:39.21
or outreach a month.
00:18:39.25\00:18:41.25
That's our
schedule. That's pretty busy.
00:18:41.28\00:18:42.98
So one commitment a month,
00:18:43.02\00:18:45.82
and that could be a
concert or an outreach.
00:18:45.85\00:18:51.26
Now when you say
outreach, what is that?
00:18:51.29\00:18:53.13
Do you go to other churches?
00:18:53.16\00:18:54.70
Do you go to
like outdoor venues?
00:18:54.73\00:18:56.67
Do you do nursing
homes or what's outreach?
00:18:56.70\00:18:59.63
I'll let you guys answer that.
00:18:59.67\00:19:02.20
Well, we do go to
nursing homes sometimes,
00:19:02.24\00:19:07.14
we did go to
another church once.
00:19:07.18\00:19:09.71
And that was pretty cool.
00:19:09.74\00:19:11.38
Yeah. Nice.
00:19:11.41\00:19:14.28
What about you,
Sophia? What do you like?
00:19:14.32\00:19:15.98
What do you enjoy
about Kids In Tune?
00:19:16.02\00:19:17.52
I love Kids In
Tune because it is a way
00:19:17.55\00:19:20.96
that we can sing and praise God
and also get the Word to others
00:19:20.99\00:19:25.33
who listen and it changes lives
00:19:25.36\00:19:28.26
because they get
to get closer to God.
00:19:28.30\00:19:30.33
Amen. That's wonderful.
That's the purpose of music.
00:19:30.37\00:19:33.60
You know, I believe that's why
God created it in the beginning
00:19:33.64\00:19:36.74
is that it could
minister to people.
00:19:36.77\00:19:39.27
And it reaches people's
hearts in the way sometimes
00:19:39.31\00:19:41.44
that the spoken word cannot.
00:19:41.48\00:19:43.61
You hear a sermon
00:19:43.65\00:19:44.98
and maybe your
heart is still hard,
00:19:45.01\00:19:46.45
but the music can
somehow penetrate that
00:19:46.48\00:19:49.05
and open up
hearts for the gospel,
00:19:49.08\00:19:50.99
so that's beautiful.
00:19:51.02\00:19:52.35
So tell me about the
DVD process, this DVD,
00:19:52.39\00:19:55.82
what was it like for you?
00:19:55.86\00:19:57.76
It was interesting.
00:19:57.79\00:20:01.33
I remember once
we went to a place
00:20:01.36\00:20:04.87
and there was this big tree
right in the center of a field.
00:20:04.90\00:20:08.64
And I had these bright shoes on,
00:20:08.67\00:20:13.11
it was navy blue, and
then like neon pink shoelaces.
00:20:13.14\00:20:16.91
And Miss. Gissela was
like, "You can't wear those.
00:20:16.95\00:20:19.81
Those are too bright and
like, it will just stand out."
00:20:19.85\00:20:22.75
because
everyone is wearing white
00:20:22.78\00:20:24.25
and like nice tan
or black shoes and...
00:20:24.29\00:20:29.39
Remember what the song was?
00:20:29.42\00:20:31.69
Wonderful Christ.
00:20:31.73\00:20:33.06
Yeah. Okay.
00:20:33.09\00:20:34.53
So she's like, "Can
you take off the shoelaces
00:20:34.56\00:20:38.47
and try to walk in those shoes?"
00:20:38.50\00:20:40.77
And I'm like,
"All right, I can try."
00:20:40.80\00:20:43.77
And so I did that and then
and it just wasn't working out.
00:20:43.81\00:20:46.94
So I had to take off my shoes,
00:20:46.98\00:20:49.04
because I had to
take off my shoes,
00:20:49.08\00:20:50.41
everyone else had to
take off their shoes.
00:20:50.45\00:20:52.75
And so we went barefoot.
00:20:52.78\00:20:55.28
So you recorded
that song barefoot.
00:20:55.32\00:20:57.42
Wow!
00:20:57.45\00:20:58.79
Well, I have to keep that
in mind when I watch this DVD.
00:20:58.82\00:21:02.12
That's great.
00:21:02.16\00:21:03.49
I'm kind of the one in the back,
00:21:03.53\00:21:05.19
because I'm like,
00:21:05.23\00:21:06.56
"I can't really
walk without shoelaces,
00:21:06.59\00:21:08.90
because my feet
were slipping out."
00:21:08.93\00:21:11.03
It was just interesting.
00:21:11.07\00:21:12.87
But, you know,
that shows teamwork.
00:21:12.90\00:21:14.60
You know, when
you're part of a choir,
00:21:14.64\00:21:16.91
you know, there's teamwork,
00:21:16.94\00:21:18.27
so if one person
has an issue or suffers,
00:21:18.31\00:21:20.38
everyone else
pitches in and works together
00:21:20.41\00:21:22.64
and that's a
good thing, you know.
00:21:22.68\00:21:24.61
That camaraderie,
that's part of the group.
00:21:24.65\00:21:27.05
Amen. Sophia.
00:21:27.08\00:21:29.58
Well, I remember one
of the times in a video,
00:21:29.62\00:21:34.02
there was a problem,
00:21:34.06\00:21:35.82
and so we had to reshoot a video
00:21:35.86\00:21:37.63
in the winter time in
July in 80 to 90 degree heat.
00:21:37.66\00:21:43.47
And we had to wear
coats, sweaters, vests, scarves,
00:21:43.50\00:21:47.70
and we still had to
look good at singing.
00:21:47.74\00:21:51.01
We kind of
understand that at 3ABN.
00:21:51.04\00:21:53.14
When you do production,
00:21:53.17\00:21:54.51
sometimes you have to
create a certain thing
00:21:54.54\00:21:56.54
and sometimes that
could be a little difficult.
00:21:56.58\00:21:58.28
That sounds very hot.
00:21:58.31\00:21:59.65
So what about miracles?
00:21:59.68\00:22:01.02
Were there any
miracles that took place
00:22:01.05\00:22:03.39
during the filming, Gissela?
00:22:03.42\00:22:04.99
Yes.
00:22:05.02\00:22:06.35
Well, let me begin by saying
that these kids were troopers.
00:22:06.39\00:22:11.86
We recorded in snow, in
heat, cold weather, bare feet,
00:22:11.89\00:22:18.23
Downtown Nashville, on
the very edge of Tennessee
00:22:18.27\00:22:24.57
and Kentucky, and then on
the other edge of Tennessee.
00:22:24.61\00:22:27.91
We've recorded everywhere.
00:22:27.94\00:22:30.91
It was a blessing and
it was so inspiring to see
00:22:30.95\00:22:35.58
the commitment of the
parents and the children,
00:22:35.62\00:22:38.82
like I said
unauditioned children,
00:22:38.85\00:22:43.69
and to see their commitment
and how hard they worked
00:22:43.73\00:22:48.03
and how much they
learned through the process.
00:22:48.06\00:22:51.80
It was also a blessing to
see the community involvement.
00:22:51.83\00:22:56.10
And we would say...
00:22:56.14\00:22:57.71
We need a place to
record that looks like this
00:22:57.74\00:23:00.78
and then the
community would say,
00:23:00.81\00:23:02.94
"Oh, I know somebody
that lives near somebody
00:23:02.98\00:23:05.85
that has the
property like this."
00:23:05.88\00:23:07.72
And the church
was heavily involved
00:23:07.75\00:23:10.82
so was the community.
00:23:10.85\00:23:12.45
And the parents
were just an inspiration.
00:23:12.49\00:23:15.86
They've helped
with hair, and wardrobe,
00:23:15.89\00:23:18.69
and held reflectors, and
helped move the set around.
00:23:18.73\00:23:24.60
It was quite an ordeal.
00:23:24.63\00:23:27.77
And it was a huge
commitment that I don't...
00:23:27.80\00:23:30.94
I'd even think I knew
00:23:30.97\00:23:32.34
how much of a
commitment it would be.
00:23:32.37\00:23:35.81
But it was also
extremely powerful
00:23:35.84\00:23:39.91
to see how God worked
from the very beginning.
00:23:39.95\00:23:44.09
First of all, with
the inspiration to do it,
00:23:44.12\00:23:47.72
and second, work is trading
everything that we would need,
00:23:47.76\00:23:52.89
from finances to
the right people,
00:23:52.93\00:23:56.63
to everything to
make this happen.
00:23:56.67\00:23:59.33
So from the very
beginning, it was a miracle on
00:23:59.37\00:24:02.87
how we found the
perfect cinematographer
00:24:02.90\00:24:06.04
that was at the time,
00:24:06.07\00:24:07.98
he was new at
being a cinematographer,
00:24:08.01\00:24:10.81
so he wanted to
build a portfolio.
00:24:10.85\00:24:13.35
He's Werner
Carrasco, he's fantastic.
00:24:13.38\00:24:16.08
And he wanted to
build a portfolio
00:24:16.12\00:24:18.59
and I didn't have
a whole lot of money.
00:24:18.62\00:24:20.32
So it sort of worked
out how God worked that out
00:24:20.36\00:24:23.46
for us to work together.
00:24:23.49\00:24:24.83
Because
literally, it was the way
00:24:24.86\00:24:28.93
we connected was fantastic.
00:24:28.96\00:24:32.40
But God opened
doors during this process
00:24:32.43\00:24:36.20
by total
strangers being kind to us.
00:24:36.24\00:24:42.01
Amen.
00:24:42.04\00:24:43.38
For instance, there
was one of the songs.
00:24:43.41\00:24:45.61
I wanted to shoot
it in an antique car.
00:24:45.65\00:24:48.62
So I went to an
antique car show and I said,
00:24:48.65\00:24:51.79
"Which is the
best looking car here?"
00:24:51.82\00:24:54.52
And I found that it
was the perfect 47 Chevy.
00:24:54.56\00:24:58.39
And I approached
the owner, and said,
00:24:58.43\00:25:01.10
"How would you feel
about a bunch of kids
00:25:01.13\00:25:03.83
recording a video in your car?"
00:25:03.87\00:25:07.14
And he said,
"Anything for the kids."
00:25:07.17\00:25:12.84
And he came and spent
a whole Sunday afternoon
00:25:12.87\00:25:15.51
with us watching us record
and I had to drive the car...
00:25:15.54\00:25:17.98
There's the car right here.
00:25:18.01\00:25:19.61
There it is. Nice.
00:25:19.65\00:25:21.82
I was extremely
nervous to drive that car
00:25:21.85\00:25:24.99
which had never been
driven by anyone else but him.
00:25:25.02\00:25:29.36
And no one had ever
sat on the back seats
00:25:29.39\00:25:32.16
of those cars except
for the kids that recorded,
00:25:32.19\00:25:34.86
not even his grandchildren.
00:25:34.90\00:25:36.87
So that was very...
00:25:36.90\00:25:39.30
It was awesome to see
his willingness to do that
00:25:39.33\00:25:42.77
without us paying him anything.
00:25:42.80\00:25:45.57
I could tell you
many, many stories.
00:25:45.61\00:25:47.84
But another
miracle that God performed
00:25:47.88\00:25:51.28
was allowing us to
close the pedestrian bridge
00:25:51.31\00:25:55.75
on Downtown Nashville which just
00:25:55.78\00:25:58.49
so you know costs
several thousand dollars
00:25:58.52\00:26:02.42
to close the bridge.
00:26:02.46\00:26:04.16
And then if you need utilities,
00:26:04.19\00:26:05.73
it's another
few thousand dollars
00:26:05.76\00:26:07.96
and there's security involved
and all of those things.
00:26:08.00\00:26:11.40
You know, its...
00:26:11.43\00:26:12.77
And they let you
film on the bridge?
00:26:12.80\00:26:14.14
It's Downtown Nashville.
00:26:14.17\00:26:15.50
And we closed the
bridge, we filmed on the bridge
00:26:15.54\00:26:18.51
for a little over $200.
00:26:18.54\00:26:20.58
There you are.
00:26:20.61\00:26:21.94
And it was
fantastic to be singing
00:26:21.98\00:26:25.28
a Southern Gospel medley
watching the people on the bars
00:26:25.31\00:26:30.65
and restaurants
around Downtown Nashville
00:26:30.69\00:26:32.75
all come to the porch
and listen to the kids sing.
00:26:32.79\00:26:37.03
Amen. That's incredible.
00:26:37.06\00:26:38.49
Think of the witnessing
opportunity for you doing that.
00:26:38.53\00:26:41.73
I can't believe our
time is going so quickly.
00:26:41.76\00:26:44.33
We want to go to...
00:26:44.37\00:26:45.70
you have a few more pictures.
00:26:45.73\00:26:47.07
And then we'll
go to the next song
00:26:47.10\00:26:48.57
from the DVD project.
00:26:48.60\00:26:50.11
But we have a few more pictures,
00:26:50.14\00:26:51.87
I know we showed the car,
and you told that testimony.
00:26:51.91\00:26:54.18
And then we
showed on the bridge,
00:26:54.21\00:26:55.78
but let's take a look at
some of those other ones.
00:26:55.81\00:26:58.31
This is... What's
taking place here?
00:26:58.35\00:27:00.22
This is a part
of Wonderful Cross.
00:27:00.25\00:27:05.09
And the words talk
about coming together
00:27:05.12\00:27:09.16
to experience
heaven and the sacrifice
00:27:09.19\00:27:12.19
that God has them for us
which is what grants us heaven.
00:27:12.23\00:27:15.00
So we had a banquet. Amen.
00:27:15.03\00:27:19.47
That's part of
shooting How Great is Our God.
00:27:19.50\00:27:22.54
We're in the Kentucky,
Tennessee division line.
00:27:22.57\00:27:26.04
I love that. That
must have been sunset.
00:27:26.07\00:27:27.94
Yes.
00:27:27.98\00:27:29.34
That is a part of
filming El Shaddai
00:27:29.38\00:27:32.75
and we were at Madison
Campus Adventist Church.
00:27:32.78\00:27:36.08
Oh, very nice.
00:27:36.12\00:27:39.59
That is what Sophia was about us
00:27:39.62\00:27:41.99
reshooting a winter
shoot with jackets and coats
00:27:42.02\00:27:44.83
and boots at 90
degree humid weather.
00:27:44.86\00:27:48.86
That sounds intense.
00:27:48.90\00:27:51.00
Here we're shooting Scars
which talks about a journey
00:27:51.03\00:27:55.00
we have in finding Christ.
00:27:55.04\00:27:58.44
So those are the little
ones we have in the choir.
00:27:58.47\00:28:00.68
They're about
four, five year olds.
00:28:00.71\00:28:02.34
They're precious. So cute.
00:28:02.38\00:28:06.95
Those are the teams that
recorded the DVD at the time.
00:28:06.98\00:28:09.72
And we are
recording Amazing Grace
00:28:09.75\00:28:13.36
or Thankful Heart actually.
00:28:13.39\00:28:14.72
Were you in that one, Katie? No.
00:28:14.76\00:28:16.32
No, you were in
Kids In Tune then, okay.
00:28:16.36\00:28:19.09
This is the property of
one of the five church members
00:28:19.13\00:28:21.90
and we were shooting How
Great is Our God as well.
00:28:21.93\00:28:25.60
Amen. It's beautiful there.
00:28:25.63\00:28:29.34
This is part of Wonderful Cross.
00:28:29.37\00:28:32.31
And it was a beautiful
sunny day, but very cold.
00:28:32.34\00:28:35.98
And this is where
the kids are bare feet.
00:28:36.01\00:28:37.45
I was wondering
00:28:37.48\00:28:38.81
because they're
in white so, okay.
00:28:38.85\00:28:41.82
Oh, that's precious, beautiful.
00:28:41.85\00:28:43.69
And the
cinematography is beautiful.
00:28:43.72\00:28:45.85
Thank you. You
did a wonderful job.
00:28:45.89\00:28:47.39
So set up for us Amazing Grace,
00:28:47.42\00:28:49.12
we're going to
watch that one next.
00:28:49.16\00:28:51.46
We are all just
regular people and regular kids
00:28:51.49\00:28:56.60
from Nashville, Tennessee,
00:28:56.63\00:28:59.30
and it is amazing to
us to be used by God.
00:28:59.33\00:29:04.31
And the only reason
that we can be used by him
00:29:04.34\00:29:07.74
is through His
Amazing Grace to even allow us
00:29:07.78\00:29:11.11
to serve as broken as we are.
00:29:11.15\00:29:14.15
And that is why we picked
00:29:14.18\00:29:15.52
Amazing Grace
as one of our songs
00:29:15.55\00:29:17.05
and that's what
we're going to see next.
00:29:17.09\00:29:18.42
Praise the Lord.
That's wonderful.
00:29:18.45\00:29:20.06
And I want to thank
Katie and Sophia for coming
00:29:20.09\00:29:22.82
and sharing
because after the song
00:29:22.86\00:29:24.59
we'll trade out
with some other guests.
00:29:24.63\00:29:25.99
Let's go to that roll right now,
00:29:26.03\00:29:27.80
Amazing Grace at this time.
00:29:27.83\00:29:29.46
Amazing grace
00:29:48.68\00:29:53.32
How sweet the sound
00:29:53.36\00:29:57.93
That saved a wretch
00:29:57.96\00:30:02.56
Like me
00:30:02.60\00:30:07.04
I once was lost
00:30:07.07\00:30:11.87
But now am found
00:30:11.91\00:30:16.38
Was blind but now
00:30:16.41\00:30:21.05
I see
00:30:21.08\00:30:25.32
It's such amazing

It's such amazing

00:30:53.01\00:30:57.95
For me
00:30:57.99\00:31:02.86
Through many dangers
00:31:02.89\00:31:07.96
Toils, and snares
00:31:08.00\00:31:11.73
I have
00:31:11.77\00:31:14.14
Already come
00:31:14.17\00:31:21.11
T'was grace that brought me safe
00:31:21.14\00:31:27.95
Thus far
00:31:27.98\00:31:30.32
And grace
00:31:30.35\00:31:32.62
Will lead me home
00:31:32.65\00:31:39.09

00:32:02.32\00:32:06.79
It's such amazing
love Such amazing love
00:32:06.82\00:32:11.79
For me
00:32:11.83\00:32:14.83
In the race of life,
we all stumble and fall
00:32:18.17\00:32:21.27
and it's by God's
amazing grace that we stand.
00:32:21.30\00:32:24.31
It's not about
how fast you can run
00:32:24.34\00:32:25.91
or how far you get on your own,
00:32:25.94\00:32:28.34
it doesn't matter
if you're even running
00:32:28.38\00:32:29.81
for 100 years or 100 seconds.
00:32:29.84\00:32:32.71
Jesus will find you
00:32:32.75\00:32:34.08
and bring you
to the finish line.
00:32:34.12\00:32:36.48
But He also calls on us
to show grace to others,
00:32:36.52\00:32:39.25
to run the race
together, cheer each other on.
00:32:39.29\00:32:42.42
He says that himself,
"Whatever you do for the least
00:32:42.46\00:32:45.69
of these brothers and
sisters, you do for me."
00:32:45.73\00:32:48.66
It's such amazing grace
00:32:52.93\00:32:57.57
It's such amazing mercy
00:32:57.61\00:33:02.21
It's such amazing love
00:33:02.24\00:33:09.48
For me
00:33:09.52\00:33:14.46
Amazing grace
00:33:14.49\00:33:18.79
How sweet the sound
00:33:18.83\00:33:25.03
Amen. What a
beautiful song, Amazing Grace.
00:33:29.70\00:33:33.58
And we have switched out
musical chairs again here.
00:33:33.61\00:33:36.21
And now we have a
mom and a daughter.
00:33:36.24\00:33:38.05
We wanted to get
their perspective
00:33:38.08\00:33:40.72
of how being in the
choir or being a mom
00:33:40.75\00:33:43.72
has impacted and changed them.
00:33:43.75\00:33:45.62
So we have Kristin
Fulton and your daughter Haley.
00:33:45.65\00:33:49.79
And we're so glad
each one of you are here.
00:33:49.82\00:33:51.59
And, Haley, how long
have you been in the choir?
00:33:51.63\00:33:53.50
I've been in the
choir for about eight years.
00:33:53.53\00:33:55.33
Okay.
00:33:55.36\00:33:56.70
And how old were
you when you started?
00:33:56.73\00:33:58.07
Four. Wow. Okay.
00:33:58.10\00:33:59.93
And I see by your t-shirt,
00:33:59.97\00:34:01.94
that you're now
at Teens In Tune.
00:34:01.97\00:34:03.84
Yes. And how long has that been?
00:34:03.87\00:34:05.64
One year. One
year, okay. Wonderful.
00:34:05.67\00:34:07.78
So let's start with you,
Kristin, tell me as a mom...
00:34:07.81\00:34:09.94
First of all, let's just look,
00:34:09.98\00:34:11.35
how it has impacted
your daughter's life.
00:34:11.38\00:34:14.88
How has the being in
the choir drawn her to Jesus
00:34:14.92\00:34:17.95
or what changes
have you seen in her?
00:34:17.99\00:34:20.06
Well, thank you for asking that.
00:34:20.09\00:34:21.42
We just celebrated
her year last weekend
00:34:21.46\00:34:25.09
for being baptized.
00:34:25.13\00:34:27.13
Congratulations.
Praise the Lord.
00:34:27.16\00:34:29.40
So really excited about that.
00:34:29.43\00:34:30.93
But just sitting in
the congregation, they,
00:34:30.97\00:34:33.27
Faith and Gissela
started the children's choir
00:34:33.30\00:34:35.94
one year before Haley joined.
00:34:35.97\00:34:37.97
And watching the kids
transform made me as a parent
00:34:38.01\00:34:41.54
want my child in
that type of ministry.
00:34:41.58\00:34:45.81
And so starting her at that age
00:34:45.85\00:34:47.75
and watching the transformation,
00:34:47.78\00:34:49.95
watching the outreach,
00:34:49.98\00:34:51.52
and the kids
that they would impact
00:34:51.55\00:34:53.05
when we would go to churches,
00:34:53.09\00:34:54.76
and the people
that they would touch
00:34:54.79\00:34:56.76
in the nursing homes,
really brings a great,
00:34:56.79\00:35:01.36
a humble pride
00:35:01.40\00:35:03.90
to having my child be
part of this ministry.
00:35:03.93\00:35:07.67
And it really is we're
a children's choir family.
00:35:07.70\00:35:11.21
And so as a
parent, you do sacrifice
00:35:11.24\00:35:16.28
with all the other
parents what it takes.
00:35:16.31\00:35:18.08
The running to and, you know,
00:35:18.11\00:35:20.55
making sure that
they're there for practice,
00:35:20.58\00:35:22.15
and having your
child practice the songs,
00:35:22.18\00:35:24.65
and so that, you know,
showing them discipline,
00:35:24.69\00:35:27.99
and what it takes to be
part of a bigger ministry,
00:35:28.02\00:35:31.26
a bigger family
than just our own.
00:35:31.29\00:35:33.36
Amen. I haven't even asked this.
00:35:33.40\00:35:35.30
How many practices is there?
00:35:35.33\00:35:37.03
Do you practice every day,
twice a week, what's the...
00:35:37.07\00:35:40.80
We don't actually practice much.
00:35:40.84\00:35:42.90
We have one or
two practices a year.
00:35:42.94\00:35:45.71
We do a sound
check before we perform
00:35:45.74\00:35:47.71
which is sort of
a short practice.
00:35:47.74\00:35:49.44
But like I said earlier, we
have one commitment a month.
00:35:49.48\00:35:52.61
Okay. But it isn't hard.
00:35:52.65\00:35:55.08
On the parental side,
you have to have your child
00:35:55.12\00:35:58.02
practice at home
00:35:58.05\00:35:59.39
and in the car
learning the songs.
00:35:59.42\00:36:01.52
But the commitment to be
at a practice isn't that hard.
00:36:01.56\00:36:06.29
Amen.
00:36:06.33\00:36:07.66
It must be exciting to
watch your daughter grow up
00:36:07.70\00:36:09.10
to see her using the
gifts God's given her.
00:36:09.13\00:36:11.07
Yes.
00:36:11.10\00:36:12.43
For Jesus and to see
that outreach in that ministry
00:36:12.47\00:36:14.87
impact other
people with the music.
00:36:14.90\00:36:16.44
Yes.
00:36:16.47\00:36:17.81
And to have the
honor of having a solo
00:36:17.84\00:36:20.38
that Haley does
in this next song
00:36:20.41\00:36:22.01
Servant's Prayer has
been such a growth for her.
00:36:22.04\00:36:25.35
And today in
moving into Teens In Tune
00:36:25.38\00:36:27.32
and having Gissela
work with her in harmonizing
00:36:27.35\00:36:30.55
and learning what that
means and how to do that
00:36:30.59\00:36:32.72
and how that funnels
through to the whole choir
00:36:32.75\00:36:35.52
what it sounds like has
been very, very interesting.
00:36:35.56\00:36:38.96
Now are you musical, Kristin?
00:36:38.99\00:36:40.33
No. I'm not.
00:36:40.36\00:36:42.16
So is your husband musical? No.
00:36:42.20\00:36:44.83
He's even worse than me.
00:36:44.87\00:36:46.84
So this is a gift from God. Yes.
00:36:50.57\00:36:53.78
So, Haley, what about you?
How about your perspective?
00:36:53.81\00:36:56.11
How has being in the
choir changed your view of Jesus
00:36:56.14\00:37:00.62
and your view of Christianity?
00:37:00.65\00:37:02.32
Well, just the
thought of having other people
00:37:02.35\00:37:04.62
in other countries
be able to watch it,
00:37:04.65\00:37:07.42
it's really neat and then...
00:37:07.46\00:37:09.89
So how can people in
other countries watch it?
00:37:09.92\00:37:12.39
Because of the DVD. Okay.
00:37:12.43\00:37:14.40
As in people buy it
or on YouTube or both.
00:37:14.43\00:37:18.60
It is airing on all the
Spanish speaking countries,
00:37:18.63\00:37:23.61
in Portuguese
speaking countries,
00:37:23.64\00:37:25.57
and now with 3ABN.
00:37:25.61\00:37:27.61
And now it's
airing on 3ABN. Yes.
00:37:27.64\00:37:29.84
And Hope Channel
start airing here
00:37:29.88\00:37:32.15
in the next few
weeks as well as LLBN.
00:37:32.18\00:37:35.38
So it's pretty
much worldwide now.
00:37:35.42\00:37:38.55
So you're hearing from
people from other countries
00:37:38.59\00:37:40.66
who have been
impacted by the music.
00:37:40.69\00:37:42.16
Yes, and they send videos.
00:37:42.19\00:37:44.79
Gissela is got
a couple of videos
00:37:44.83\00:37:46.16
where their choir is
singing the songs from our DVD.
00:37:46.19\00:37:49.93
And they have
their solo western.
00:37:49.96\00:37:53.57
It is such a blessing. Amen.
00:37:53.60\00:37:55.60
So back to you, Haley,
00:37:55.64\00:37:56.97
I apologize we
went on a tangent here.
00:37:57.01\00:37:59.51
So you said the
impact, it's neat to see people
00:37:59.54\00:38:02.24
in other
countries singing the songs.
00:38:02.28\00:38:04.51
It's neat how
we've seen other kids
00:38:04.55\00:38:06.92
like in videos
coming from other countries,
00:38:06.95\00:38:08.98
how kids have
been singing our songs,
00:38:09.02\00:38:11.62
and they've made like a choir...
00:38:11.65\00:38:13.76
they have a choir
and they sing the songs
00:38:13.79\00:38:16.02
that we sang and it's neat.
00:38:16.06\00:38:17.96
Amen. That's wonderful.
00:38:17.99\00:38:19.89
Now, Kristin, tell me
from a parent's perspective.
00:38:19.93\00:38:22.16
I know you shared how it
was to watch your daughter
00:38:22.20\00:38:24.37
being impacted and
the impact on her life,
00:38:24.40\00:38:26.60
but what about the
impact on your life?
00:38:26.63\00:38:29.60
Well, it's very humbling to see
00:38:29.64\00:38:33.17
how God works
through our children.
00:38:33.21\00:38:35.64
And the joy that
comes from singing the songs
00:38:35.68\00:38:39.25
and watching them sing to others
00:38:39.28\00:38:42.08
and watching the
smiles of the people
00:38:42.12\00:38:44.55
in the
congregation or in the audience,
00:38:44.59\00:38:49.16
it's very moving.
00:38:49.19\00:38:50.76
And we talk about it
with friends and family
00:38:50.79\00:38:53.43
and coworkers,
it's just something
00:38:53.46\00:38:55.56
that stays in
our hearts and minds.
00:38:55.60\00:38:57.70
And the songs of course,
stay in our car and all of it.
00:38:57.73\00:39:02.10
So, I mean, it's impacted
00:39:02.14\00:39:03.97
every single part
of my life as a parent.
00:39:04.01\00:39:06.91
Gissela, it must be
amazing as a choir director
00:39:06.94\00:39:09.18
to see the impact and
how God is using the choir,
00:39:09.21\00:39:12.08
Kids In Tune to minister.
00:39:12.11\00:39:13.68
Absolutely.
00:39:13.72\00:39:15.08
And the next
song we will play...
00:39:15.12\00:39:20.29
I co-wrote it with Billy Smiley,
00:39:20.32\00:39:23.29
one of our producers.
00:39:23.32\00:39:24.69
And when we were
talking about what kind of song
00:39:24.73\00:39:27.66
we wanted to write, I said,
00:39:27.70\00:39:31.87
"I know the lyrics. I
know what I want to say."
00:39:31.90\00:39:36.04
And it's for kids like Haley
and Katie and my young children
00:39:36.07\00:39:41.61
that this next song was written
which is Servant's Prayer.
00:39:41.64\00:39:46.41
That is the desire
that we have for our choir,
00:39:46.45\00:39:49.15
and for the kids,
and for the parents,
00:39:49.18\00:39:51.75
and for all the
children that are being inspired
00:39:51.79\00:39:54.89
by these kids that they
will have a servant heart.
00:39:54.92\00:40:00.16
That they will go out
there and share the message.
00:40:00.20\00:40:03.23
And it doesn't
matter how little you are,
00:40:03.26\00:40:06.13
you can impact people.
00:40:06.17\00:40:08.50
That is the ultimate goal.
00:40:08.54\00:40:10.51
That is my
ultimate prayer for my kids
00:40:10.54\00:40:13.71
and for all of these
children and their parents.
00:40:13.74\00:40:16.54
Amen.
00:40:16.58\00:40:17.91
And as a parent,
part of the song says,
00:40:17.95\00:40:20.95
"And I lift my
hands to honor you."
00:40:20.98\00:40:24.25
We want that for
our kids to honor God,
00:40:24.29\00:40:27.49
to serve Him, to pray to Him.
00:40:27.52\00:40:30.29
This song captures it all. Amen.
00:40:30.33\00:40:32.66
And lastly before
we go to the song,
00:40:32.69\00:40:34.86
Haley, you sing
the lead on the song
00:40:34.90\00:40:36.63
or one of the
solos in this song.
00:40:36.67\00:40:38.07
Yes. So what was
that like for you?
00:40:38.10\00:40:40.50
Well, it's a great
privilege and then the words,
00:40:40.54\00:40:43.44
like we want, you know,
people to or God wants us
00:40:43.47\00:40:46.84
to be a servant and we
want to be servants for Him.
00:40:46.88\00:40:49.64
So just the words to
the song are really neat
00:40:49.68\00:40:51.95
and I love singing it.
00:40:51.98\00:40:53.52
Amen.
00:40:53.55\00:40:54.88
And thank you so
much, Haley and Kristin.
00:40:54.92\00:40:57.02
And we will go to that song now,
00:40:57.05\00:40:58.95
Servant's Prayer.
00:40:58.99\00:41:00.42
Make me a servant
00:41:24.18\00:41:28.45
That listens when I fall
00:41:28.48\00:41:34.56
Humble in spirit
00:41:34.59\00:41:37.59
Always waiting for Your call
00:41:37.63\00:41:45.00
Make me a servant
00:41:45.03\00:41:49.27
That listens to Your voice
00:41:49.30\00:41:55.48
Help me be wiser
00:41:55.51\00:41:58.48
So I make the perfect choice
00:41:58.51\00:42:04.62
For we lift our
hands and honor You
00:42:04.65\00:42:10.46
Trusting in Your Word
00:42:10.49\00:42:15.16
You are worthy of our praises
00:42:15.20\00:42:20.34
For in everything we do
00:42:20.37\00:42:25.97
A servant's heart is waiting
00:42:26.01\00:42:31.01
To love and worship You
00:42:31.05\00:42:37.42
Make me a servant
00:42:45.09\00:42:49.40
That listens when I fall
00:42:49.43\00:42:55.67
Humble in spirit
00:42:55.70\00:42:58.41
Always waiting for Your call
00:42:58.44\00:43:04.75
For we lift our
hands and honor You
00:43:04.78\00:43:10.52
Trusting in Your Word
00:43:10.55\00:43:15.22
You are worthy of our praises
00:43:15.26\00:43:20.33
For in everything we do
00:43:20.36\00:43:25.93
A servant's heart is waiting
00:43:25.97\00:43:31.07
To love and worship You
00:43:31.11\00:43:35.31
A servant's heart is waiting
00:43:38.98\00:43:44.29
To love and worship You
00:43:44.32\00:43:50.59
I love that
song, Servant's Prayer.
00:44:07.91\00:44:10.45
Praise the Lord for gifting you,
00:44:10.48\00:44:12.45
inspiring you to
write that, Gissela.
00:44:12.48\00:44:14.58
Now in the final
segment, we have Faith.
00:44:14.62\00:44:16.89
We brought Faith back.
00:44:16.92\00:44:18.25
And, Gissela, we want to talk
00:44:18.29\00:44:19.62
a little bit
about you all's goals.
00:44:19.65\00:44:21.62
What you want to do?
00:44:21.66\00:44:22.99
What you're
looking for the future
00:44:23.02\00:44:24.36
with Kids In Tune?
00:44:24.39\00:44:26.80
We have provided with the CD,
00:44:26.83\00:44:30.13
a curriculum
for smaller churches
00:44:30.17\00:44:33.40
that do not have
a band or a pianist,
00:44:33.44\00:44:36.34
we have a compliment track,
00:44:36.37\00:44:37.74
or that do have a pianist
00:44:37.77\00:44:39.77
that would like the
music book to sing our songs
00:44:39.81\00:44:43.08
because we would get phone calls
00:44:43.11\00:44:44.75
from smaller churches
saying, "I have the kids.
00:44:44.78\00:44:47.78
What do I do? I want songs."
00:44:47.82\00:44:50.89
And so we were very blessed
to come up with a curriculum
00:44:50.92\00:44:55.32
where we have the CD, the track,
00:44:55.36\00:44:56.69
the books for smaller churches.
00:44:56.73\00:44:59.96
That's a wonderful ministry too.
00:45:00.00\00:45:01.56
Yes.
00:45:01.60\00:45:02.93
But, you know, I'm
fond of this program
00:45:02.96\00:45:05.43
because when we
were here last time,
00:45:05.47\00:45:08.20
and we were showing
the songs from the CD
00:45:08.24\00:45:10.44
and the kids are performing,
00:45:10.47\00:45:12.47
I got endless
phone calls from people
00:45:12.51\00:45:15.78
all over the States and Canada.
00:45:15.81\00:45:19.31
And there were some
pretty moving phone calls
00:45:19.35\00:45:21.85
where people were saying,
00:45:21.88\00:45:23.49
"We are starting a
children's ministry
00:45:23.52\00:45:25.65
based on your experience
00:45:25.69\00:45:27.09
and what you're
doing with those kids.
00:45:27.12\00:45:28.62
We want our kids
to be a part of that."
00:45:28.66\00:45:30.93
So we know of
nursing home ministries,
00:45:30.96\00:45:34.16
and small choirs that have begun
00:45:34.20\00:45:35.90
and we've talked about
00:45:35.93\00:45:37.30
watching videos
of Kids in Mongolia,
00:45:37.33\00:45:39.93
the very first Adventist choir,
00:45:39.97\00:45:43.44
from the very
first Adventist school
00:45:43.47\00:45:45.17
performing Thankful Heart.
00:45:45.21\00:45:47.11
And there were
120-some kids on stage.
00:45:47.14\00:45:50.35
And that is the ministry
that we hope to continue to do
00:45:50.38\00:45:55.02
to impact people
00:45:55.05\00:45:56.38
not only in their own
personal life and journey,
00:45:56.42\00:45:59.22
but also kids around the
world and keep inspiring them.
00:45:59.25\00:46:03.69
And now, the DVD
00:46:03.73\00:46:05.69
and the music
clips that we have,
00:46:05.73\00:46:07.46
we can do that with
your help and the viewers
00:46:07.50\00:46:11.40
and all over the
world and continue
00:46:11.43\00:46:13.20
to inspire kids to do that.
00:46:13.23\00:46:15.57
That's our goal.
00:46:15.60\00:46:16.94
But we have a dream
00:46:16.97\00:46:18.74
and we will let
Faith explain that.
00:46:18.77\00:46:21.61
What's that dream, Faith?
00:46:21.64\00:46:22.98
So our dream is
to get these songs
00:46:23.01\00:46:26.72
and this DVD into the hands
of as many children as we can.
00:46:26.75\00:46:32.35
Imagine every child
enrolled in our school system
00:46:32.39\00:46:36.89
getting a DVD in
their hands to watch at home
00:46:36.93\00:46:42.80
or children in our
children's hospitals
00:46:42.83\00:46:46.40
being able to take
this DVD home with them,
00:46:46.43\00:46:49.17
what a witness that would be.
00:46:49.20\00:46:51.87
And we can do this.
00:46:51.91\00:46:54.01
Our production costs
00:46:54.04\00:46:55.44
can be driven
extremely low with bulk orders
00:46:55.48\00:46:58.41
and we can get the
price of the DVD very low.
00:46:58.45\00:47:01.18
So it is possible to do that.
00:47:01.22\00:47:05.59
So that's our big dream.
00:47:05.62\00:47:07.12
But we need your help. And
we need help getting there.
00:47:07.16\00:47:10.43
Well, we will put
up the address roll
00:47:10.46\00:47:12.13
at the end of the program.
00:47:12.16\00:47:13.50
We're going to one more song.
00:47:13.53\00:47:15.23
We're talking
today about Kids In Tune,
00:47:15.26\00:47:17.43
the DVD project that
you all just put out.
00:47:17.47\00:47:20.70
Thankful Heart, an
incredible project.
00:47:20.74\00:47:23.30
And I want to
encourage you to get that.
00:47:23.34\00:47:24.97
Right now, we're going to
the final song, El Shaddai.
00:47:25.01\00:47:27.81
And then we'll be back.
00:47:27.84\00:47:29.18
That wasn't too bad. Yeah.
00:47:51.47\00:47:53.84
We're getting there.
00:47:53.87\00:47:55.44
You know, we've sung this
song for a really long time
00:47:55.47\00:47:58.97
and I still don't
know what it means.
00:47:59.01\00:48:01.04
You're right.
00:48:01.08\00:48:02.41
I've never
really thought about it.
00:48:02.44\00:48:04.01
There's only one thing to do.
00:48:04.05\00:48:05.78
Google it. Google it.
00:48:05.81\00:48:07.32
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
00:48:24.13\00:48:28.07
El-Elyon na Adonai
00:48:28.10\00:48:32.61
Age to age you're still the same
00:48:32.64\00:48:36.14
By the power of the name
00:48:36.18\00:48:40.25
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
00:48:40.28\00:48:44.32
Erkahmka na Adonai
00:48:44.35\00:48:48.79
I will praise and lift You high
00:48:48.82\00:48:52.36
El Shaddai
00:48:52.39\00:48:56.36
Through Your love
and through Your realm
00:48:56.40\00:49:00.17
You saved the son of Abraham
00:49:00.20\00:49:04.94
Through the power of your hand
00:49:04.97\00:49:08.28
You turned the sea into dry land
00:49:08.31\00:49:12.45
To the outcast on her knees
00:49:12.48\00:49:16.32
You were the God who really sees
00:49:16.35\00:49:21.02
And by Your might
00:49:21.06\00:49:23.32
You set Your children free
00:49:23.36\00:49:28.70
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
00:49:28.73\00:49:32.53
El-Elyon na Adonai
00:49:32.57\00:49:37.17
Age to age you're still the same
00:49:37.21\00:49:40.68
By the power of the name
00:49:40.71\00:49:44.78
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
00:49:44.81\00:49:48.75
Erkahmka na Adonai
00:49:48.78\00:49:53.36
I will praise and lift You high
00:49:53.39\00:49:56.89
El Shaddai
00:49:56.93\00:50:00.80
Through the
years you made it clear
00:50:17.05\00:50:21.05
That the time of Christ was near
00:50:21.08\00:50:25.62
Though the people couldn't see
00:50:25.65\00:50:29.12
What Messiah ought to be
00:50:29.16\00:50:33.26
Though Your Word
contained the plan
00:50:33.29\00:50:37.17
They just would not understand
00:50:37.20\00:50:41.80
Your most awesome work was done
00:50:41.84\00:50:45.67
Through the frailty of Your Son
00:50:45.71\00:50:51.35
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
00:50:51.38\00:50:55.28
El-Elyon na Adonai
00:50:55.32\00:50:59.92
Age to age you're still the same
00:50:59.95\00:51:03.39
By the power of the name
00:51:03.43\00:51:07.50
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
00:51:07.53\00:51:11.50
Erkahmka na Adonai
00:51:11.53\00:51:16.14
I will praise and lift You high
00:51:16.17\00:51:19.57
El Shaddai
00:51:19.61\00:51:25.01
Amen.
00:51:30.72\00:51:32.05
I hope you have been as blessed
00:51:32.09\00:51:33.42
as I have been
hearing the testimonies
00:51:33.46\00:51:35.49
from the kids, the parents,
00:51:35.52\00:51:36.93
the staff hearing
what God is doing in
00:51:36.96\00:51:39.63
and through this ministry.
00:51:39.66\00:51:41.46
We want to give you an
opportunity to support,
00:51:41.50\00:51:44.23
maybe God has
blessed you with means
00:51:44.27\00:51:45.97
that you can
support this ministry
00:51:46.00\00:51:47.84
that can get that DVD
out to so many people.
00:51:47.87\00:51:51.07
Maybe you are a
small church and you say,
00:51:51.11\00:51:53.24
"I would like this curriculum.
00:51:53.27\00:51:55.24
I want to get involved,
00:51:55.28\00:51:56.95
have my young people
get involved in music."
00:51:56.98\00:51:59.48
Maybe you are a large
church and you would like that.
00:51:59.51\00:52:01.52
