ARP Update:
Hey guys/gals/peeps/friends…. I wanted to post an update on what’s been going on in the world of A Ransom Plea lately.
As you guys know, we started ARP three years ago, and we have had some awesome times in those three years, and met some awesome people. We have seen God move in ways that have blown our mind and made it obvious to ourselves and to everyone around us that we are nothing and can do nothing without Him.
He has blessed us with our talents, and the opportunity to play music with our best friends – and getting to spread the Gospel of Christ in the process! He has blessed our ministry, and continues to do so in such great ways.
Lately, each of us have felt God speak to us about where He wants us to be and the direction that he wants our ministry to take. Just to squelch the rumors, A Ransom Plea is not going anywhere. This is not a split, or a bad breakup; it’s just a change of personal direction. We are all still friends, and will continue to be friends, whether we are playing music together or not.
Having said this, Brandon and myself will still be going strong and making music. A Ransom Plea will return to the original vision of bridging the gap between Christian Radio and Top 40 Radio. Our goal will be to reach not only the churched, but also the unchurched. In Matthew 9:12, Jesus says, “It’s not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.” and Luke 19:10 reads, “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.” These verses sum up what we are passionate about.
For several months, Spencer has been feeling God guide him into a role of leading corporate worship in a church setting, and pursuing full time ministry. We fully support him in this endeavor, and will continue to be partners in ministry. Brandon and I will be planting the seed that Spencer will then help to cultivate.
Michael also feels that he is being called in a different direction. He is planning on moving to Tennessee to further pursue recording, music and any ministry opportunity that God has for him. Please pray for God’s direction to be clear in his life.
The four of us have reached a fork in the road. We have chosen to go down the path that God is leading us. Spencer, Michael, Brandon and myself would like to extend a huge thank you to all of our fans, friends, and family. We appreciate your love and support over the last few years. And we hope you will continue to support A Ransom Plea, and pray for us, as well as for Spencer and Michael as we journey down the paths that God has for us. This is not an end, but rather a new beginning.
