July 24th “Plan of Attack” performed at San Antonio’s SoHo Lounge. This was the bands first performance in several months as we have been occupied with other projects (building, etc…). So it was great getting back into the groove.

“Plan of Attack” was truly awesome and all those watching loved the music. We had a great response and many people commented on the spirit and the sound of the music. We’re looking forward to doing much more with the music in the San Antonio/Austin area in the next couple of months. And we know that there’s no limit to what Jesus can accomplish through the music.

It was early Monday morning, March 10th, and we were excited to be on our way to South Padre Island, a spring-breakers paradise with its beautiful beaches, warm Gulf waters, and wild night life. This was the destination for ten of our volunteers who were ready for a week of meeting with and witnessing to young people of all types from all over the country.

The trip to the Island was smooth and arriving late in the afternoon, we were eager to unpack, set up, and start scouting out the area. Our friends from Houston arrived in their “Prophet Bus”, an old school bus converted into a RV/meeting room and it was soon filled up with people interested in our message. With music, video presentations and lively conversations, the witnessing went late into the night but proved to be worth it as several people prayed to receive Jesus....MORE

The recording of “Plan of Attack’s” new album has begun at STUDIO 1625 and is scheduled to be finished around June 1st. The album will include many of the original POA songs written by Gabe Raveney and several newer songs by both Gabe and Timothy Forsberg. We’re excited about this album and can’t wait to make the message of our music more available to the general public.

Since 2004, volunteers from Activated Youth Ministries have attended, staffed, aided in the planning of, and performed at the yearly Wordstock Camps. These camps concentrate on reaching young people mainly from the ages 12 -17 (as well as those older) with classes and skits on spiritual development, missionary training, and world issues. There is also opportunity for further training as special classes are offered for staff members as well!

Music is a focal point and the positive messages of our songs really inspire the youth. We have seen that these camps, planned and staffed by young people, for young people, have brought about excellent results in the lives of all of the participants. More conviction for Christian values, greater understanding of their role in the community, and a deeper relationship with Christ are just a few of the positive results. The impact of such a camp at this critical age has long lasting and far reaching effects that are immeasurable!

Last Year we began the large project of building a third house on our property. We're hoping to finish the house early this year. It will be used to accommodate volunteers as well as to host seminars and retreats. With the help of the Lord and many generous companies and individuals, it is getting closer and closer to completion. Thank you all, so much, for your help! There are still a few things that we need in order to finish the project and these include: plumbing supplies, insulation, drywall, paint and flooring. If you can help or know of somebody who can, please contact us. We know The Lord will bless you.
