The Guarulhos boys!

In early 2011, I was sharing at "Projeto 242" - the Steiger church in São Paulo. At the end of the meeting, a group of guys (Moah, Alex, Felipe and Robson), who were clearly part of the hardcore scene, approached me to say how they had appreciated the message. "We have a band, and we want to talk about Jesus like that in our music", said Moah.

Dear friends,

In 1991, No Longer Music did a 32-concert “Moscow to Mongolia” tour throughout the former Soviet Union. Hundreds of people accepted Jesus on that tour, which included a follow up strategy involving NLM “Fan Clubs”. The leaders of these fan clubs were church planters who stayed behind to help nurture those who responded. You can read more about the tour in my book “Rock Priest”.

Dear friends,

This summer, our No Longer Music teams did 30 evangelistic concerts in 7 countries all over Europe and the Middle East. By God’s power, thousands of people responded to our invitation to surrender their lives to Christ, including atheists in Albania, Muslim university students in Turkey and Kosovo, young people in cities all over Poland, and alternative young people in Finland.

Dear friends,

Polish Woodstock is one of the largest secular festivals in Europe with over 700,000 wild, out of control people in attendance. Everywhere you go, you see young people passed out on the roads from drunkenness and drugs. People die every year.

Dear friends,

Grabian, Albania was a city where enemies of the state were sent during the days of communism. A city of exile - now a forgotten place with high unemployment, violence, child abuse and alcoholism. We saw this first hand.

Dear friends,

Below is a testimony from Aaron and Jennifer Pierce’s newsletter about a girl who gave her life to Jesus as a result of a NLM concert last summer:
“I was very touched. I was very impressed. My heart was melting. After the concert, when David made the altar call, I felt the presence of God and I RAN forward” said Ala, a young Ukrainian girl who attended a No Longer Music concert in Sumy, Ukraine last summer.

I first met Cocke a few years ago in one of the most important clubs in Santiago, Chile. He was the lead guitarist in a well known Chilean metal band and was responsible for mixing our sound that night. The atmosphere in the club was crazy and lots of drugs and alcohol were being consumed.

“Kurdistan needs this band!” said a young Iraqi guy after our concert in Dohuk last summer. He was just one of the hundreds of university age young people who attended our NLM shows in Northern Iraq.

In this newsletter I have included reports from two of our young leaders and members of Steiger’s ministry “Platform”. Platform is Steiger’s association of evangelistic artists that exists to train, equip and release Christian artists/musicians as missionaries to boldly use their God-given talent and platform to bring the love of Jesus outside the church culture.

This following is a report from Philip and Sari Shorey, the leaders of one of Steiger's international ministries - "The Suitcase Sideshow" - an evangelistic traveling marionette production:
“If this is for politics, let it be stopped, but if it is for God let it continue” a woman yelled but the police demanded that we shut down, despite her protests and we were forced to leave. We were in Istanbul, Turkey where there is supposed to be religious freedom.

It was in 2006 when a worker from Steiger International made a connection with me at the Freakstock Music Festival in Germany and prayed with me. Two years later David Pierce was preaching in my church in Brazil. After he spoke he came to me and said: “I think God wants you and your band to come to our Steiger Radical Missions School.” Download pdf

Dear Friends,

"It has become more dangerous lately", Sandro told Jodi and I as we were leaving one of our sessions at the Brazilian Steiger School. "Someone else was robbed at gun point in a parking lot used by the church just a few weeks ago." Download pdf

Dear Friends,

“The Fest” on October 28-30 in Gainesville, Florida is one of the biggest punk rock festivals in America. The first one took place on May 24th and 25th of 2002 and was thought to have gone down in history as the drunkest and rowdiest time ever to be had in Gainesville and it has grown in size and reputation ever since.

Dear Friends,

It has been an amazing month! As I write this, we're back in Krögis, Germany after a very intense No Longer Music tour to Ukraine and Poland. In Ukraine, we had 6 concerts in 4 cities and in Poland, we had 10 concerts in 10 different cities. Download pdf

Dear Friends,

We arrived at the Ukrainian/Polish border only to be told that we had to drive to another border. Robert, our polish promoter, thought that the police may have been looking for a bribe. So after an all-night drive on crazy roads we arrived at another border where we carried, by hand, all of our personal gear and band equipment in the pouring rain from the Ukrainian border to the Polish border.
