Indie Musicians…

We are looking for a few independent musicians, bands, worship teams to help us beta test a promotional program on Twitter.

The only requirement is a website with a basic analytics or “hit tracker” installed.

How the program works:

We will tweet a link to your website 3 times during the day on Monday with the #musicmonday tag. You email us on Tuesday and report any spikes in your site traffic.

From the responders, we will select 6 indie artists and feature them on alternating Mondays for the rest of 2009.

Click here and give us your website link and email address.

Featured Artist: Kathie Luther…

We’ve been enjoying Kathie Luther’s painting in our Featured Artist area during the month of June… With a new artist feature coming up, we wanted to display Kathie’s work one more time.

Kathie Luther is a mixed-media artist from Indian River, MI. She works in oil and acrylic painting, digital painting, as well as a variety of textiles, sculpture and photography. Her paintings feature escatological themes and bold, often biblical, imagery.

Kathie teaches art to adults and children in her art center and has prints and original paintings for sale.

Check out Kathie’s Flickr photostream and eBay store.

And in case you missed any of last week’s articles, here’s a quick recap:

Give Like Jesus… by Tim Jones
Jesus did a lot of miracles.  When he encountered a person in need, his first response (with a few exceptions) was to meet the need.  This is certainly an example that he intended us to follow.  But these two miracles were special… he did something a little different… the question is, WHY? (read more)

Missionary Slide Shows… by Tim Jones
We’re artists: photographers, graphic artists, media designers, filmmakers, songwriters, indie bands… The visual and emotional flash that these missionaries need to engage their audiences, hold their attention and get help for Joe and other kids like him… it’s just a “doodle” for us… (read more)
