There was a great article in the magazine Alt Press yesterday, pointed to me by Disciple guitarist Andrew Welch, which is a GREAT primer for those seeking to care more deeply for the community of which you are a part. This is a community you might not have been AWARE that you are a part of, but if you consume art, whether words or music or pictures, you are part of the crew. Creatives create NOT in a vacuum or void, but within the context of a world filled with people like you and I, and their creations feed our souls in ways that nothing else can.
I'd love to have you take 5-10 minutes and read this article, then toss a comment or 2 on here, or email me what thoughts this provokes in you. I promise you this will open your eyes a little, will enlighten you a bit, and MAYBE even help you begin to care more deeply. Want to help the very folks this article is talking about? swing by the LightsOut store or get in touch & be part of OUR team as we minister to artists and seek to provide care for those serving in these spaces.

Shopping, Shipping... Sharing?
Hey Hey Y'all-
I know today is a busy day, so just wanted to tell you 2 quick things.
1. I just got home from a trip to Nashville where I spent some time talking strategically with others in the 'artist care' world, discussing how we could collaborate to do ministry together and more effectively in the areas we serve. I came home inspired, excited, and most of us EXTREMELY GRATEFUL for the family of supporters of LightsOut is so fortunate to have. SO... Thank You for joining us with your prayers, your thoughts, your resources, your lives. I hope you someday get to see all the ways in which your support is helping, but until then, please hear me say T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U.
2. I know many of you are going to go shopping tomorrow, some of you will do so online. Even more of you will likely do some websearches for the things you see on Christmas lists and to find coupons, etc. Did you know that just by doing websearches with the GoodSearch toolbar instead of Google, you can support LightsOut? We get a penny for every websearch you do!!
Want to make every gift count this holiday season? You can find coupons at more than 1,600 top stores (including Amazon, Macy's, J.Crew, Toys R Us, Best Buy, Gap and more) AND a percentage of virtually every sale will be donated to LightsOut!
Just go to GoodShop.com, designate us as the cause you support and then click over to your favorite store and shop away!
Or, add our toolbar to your browser at http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbar - and your purchases will earn a donation for us even if you forget to go to GoodShop first!
There's no easier way to support us this holiday season! Please spread the word and help us while you help yourself to some great deals.
If you'd like to contribute to the ministry, but don't want to do any shopping, you can always click the 'donate' button to the right, or just drop your contribution in the mail to us at LightsOut. Need more info? please email us at the address on the top of the page.
THANKS!
