Flyingbow Ministry Poised for New Heights

(Guelph, ON)    The Flyingbow Music Ministry Board of Directors and Trevor Dick (artistic director and musician) are announcing the launch of the next phase of Flyingbow Music Ministry with the recent approval of the Government of Canada’s granting of full non-profit charitable status.

Trevor Dick, violinist, founder and artistic director reflects, “I thank God for bringing us to this point. This is most certainly of Him – a very exciting opportunity to do local to global missionary, kingdom work as Canadian musicians and artists with a unique freedom to work within a broad framework of ministry objectives.”

Chair of the Flyingbow Music Ministry Board of Directors, Elizabeth Sharpe comments, “to seek and achieve charitable status in Canada for a world class independent music missionary is unprecedented and we pray that it sets the stage for Flyingbow to grow and prosper in the Lord’s work.”

Flyingbow Music Ministry’s mission is stated clearly; to be music missionaries and artists called by God to encourage others to discover and worship Jesus Christ. The ministry’s objectives fall into four key areas: Church ministry support, Missions and evangelism, the advocacy of music and the arts, and the support of poverty relief in Canada and abroad.

The most well-known component of Flyingbow’s ministry has featured renowned Canadian artist, Trevor Dick. Trevor has ministered across Canada with his electric violin and various accompaniments since 1997.

As one audience goer commented: “listening to your music last night was the most soul- provoking experience … your [concert] brought tears to my eyes … thank you so much for sharing your gift of music.” A pastor wrote after partnering with Trevor: “Your gifts in music combined with enthusiasm and an obvious spiritual heart were a huge uplift for me. I cherish the honesty with which you have learned to serve God! ”

Says Trevor “God has given me a gift and that gift is music. I, in turn, am giving that gift back to Him.” Although well-received by North American audiences, in international settings the ministry’s unique mix of music and evangelism has proven to be especially powerful. Trevor Dick’s instrumental music effectively crosses cultural boundaries and reaches listeners at their ‘soul level’, where lyrics could be a hindrance in communicating the Gospel.

Trevor shares: “As David experienced when he played his harp, I have seen God break spiritual strongholds all over the world, touch and soften hardened hearts through a simple violin. The words I say sometimes need to be translated but our instrumental music crosses all language and cultural barriers and prepares each heart for that message of hope in Jesus.” A new Flyingbow CD project called “Yahweh” (Trevor Dick’s sixth project) will be officially released in late summer, early fall.

The recent charitable status approval will enable Flyingbow Music Ministry to financially partner with supporters who will in turn receive charitable tax receipts for their donations.

The Vision of Flyingbow Music Ministry

We desire through the empowering of Jesus Christ to:

• Wait patiently on God, seek Him and His righteousness constantly. (Matt. 6:33)

• Work hard to hone our gifts in music and speaking ministry so that all is done with thoughtfulness and excellence to the glory of God. (Col. 3:23-24)
• Humbly serve God and others with joy. (Gal. 2:20; Eph. 4:11-12; Eph. 6:7-8)
• Continually be in community with others, build and maintain relationships and work in team. (Eccl. 4:9-10)
• Be constantly available to God’s call and leading locally to globally. (Gen. 12:1; Matt. 4:19-22)
• Constantly deflect all glory to God, the giver of the gifts. (Ps. 95:1-8; Eph. 1:3-14)

Le-Anne hung our laundry out to dry this morning on the new clothes line I put up last weekend … another “green” electricity-saving initiate at our new home – just in time for Earth Day. Until next time … T

We hung our Canadian Flag at 39 Fairmeadow Drive in honour and anticipation of the big Canada – U.S. Olympic Hockey game yesterday and watched as HISTORY was made when Sidney Crosby scored the overtime goal to win us our 14th record breaking Gold Medal  – another “remember when” moment no one will forget!

I am very proud to be a Canadian. This has been a huge boost of confidence for Canada – not just in sport but everyday life on the world stage. Our National Anthem says it best:

“With glowing hearts we see thee rise, the true north, strong and free” … “God keep our land, glorious and free; O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!”

RECORDING DETAILS:

Every attention to the highest quality production was attained in the recording of “YAHWEH”. Here are some of the details …

Recorded by veteran Audio Engineer, Richard Cleaver, at the world renowned 1500 sq. ft. PHASE ONE (Studio A) through a vintage Neve Board, the recording has a depth and warmth unparalleled in previous projects. Trevor states:

“we have set a new standard for ourselves both in our playing and the quality of the recording captured on this project … it is truly special. It was also a real honour to work with Richard Cleaver once again after such a great partnership on the Glory and Peace album  … ”

RICHARD CLEAVER is a passionate audio engineer with over thirty years of experience in recording and live sound. He has worked on hundreds of projects over the years and in many of the top flight recording studios in Toronto and Nashville. He has served as a judge for the Canadian Juno Awards, actively developed Canadian musical talent in contemporary Christian music and taught audio engineering and recording techniques. With a keen musical ear and a relentless focus on quality, Richard has built a reputation for doing whatever it takes to capture sound with excellence.

The project was also Mastered at PHASE ONE (Studio C) by award winning GEORGE SEARA.

A musician and lifelong recording enthusiast, George has quickly become one of Toronto’s leading Mix and Mastering Engineers. He works in all genres of music and happy recent clients include Rihanna, Mos Def, Holly Cole, 50 Cent, Sting, Herbie Hancock and Finger Eleven.

We get regular requests for our recordings to be used in the context of the Church Worship Service as Prelude, Communion and Postlude Material. Good quality, fresh Christian Instrumental Music is sought after today to fit these important roles – to play in the background and help set the tone of a worship service. Our music is also used regularly to supplement Church Visuals, Slide Shows or Video Clips. For specific Seasonal and Special Event Church Instrumental Music (Christmas, Easter, Good Friday, Thanksgiving, Child Dedication, Church Anniversary and Baptism) link HERE.

Here are a few suggestions in the regular Church Calendar:
