Bio
Early in March 1970 six people began praying for a way, and a love big enough to draw the freaks and the straights off the streets of Brattleboro, Vermont ("All American" city, which the New York Times once stated as having the second highest per capita drug abuse rate in the U. S.) to find a New Way, new life in Jesus Christ. Each of the six had little in common: Different ages, educational background, social orientation, everything. Only one thing united them: each had been "born again" (Jesus said it in John 3:3) through faith (total faith, relying on, clinging to, trusting in) in Jesus Christ and His sinless life, and selfless death 2,000 years ago. Each had recognized his personal separation from God, his need of a savior and director for this life, and the importance of individually receiving Christ's free gift of salvation, freedom, joy, and peace... ..The prayer worked. The love was shared. The gospel hit the streets, and inevitably people believed. From six we grew to sixty, and more and more. Among the many new believers were those who wanted to present their joy in the Lord through music, and that expression developed into two groups - The Messengers and Good News... ..This recording was not designed to turn you on to music. This music was not written just to give you a good feeling. Eight guys didn't just pick up their instruments to entertain you. You see there's a ninth personality involved with this recording - the Holy Spirit of the living God. And if you don't meet him through it, you've never gotten off at all... ..If you know Christ already, worship Him with us in song. If you have never trusted Him with your life, we pray deeply you will find Him through this music... ..If you do commit your life to our wonderful Lord and want to walk further with Him, please share with us and write us a note... ..We love you!.. ..The Messengers and Good News.. ..Recorded at Natural Sounds Studio,.. ..Maynard, MA... ..Engineer Steve.. ..The Messengers:..
