Hi Everybody,

Here in Nashville on a unseasonably warmer evening, a giant guitar made its way from the top of the pole to the bottom…and welcomed in the new year of 2011!  I missed that particular event but had gathered with a number of folks to pray/prophecy in the new year at Belmont Church downtown…and the presence of our Lord was there in an unusual way releasing hope and new vision for this new beginning!

It’s time for a new episode for FULL CIRCLE as well…and here’s #151 underwritten by the Ruminator Sunday School gang from Murfreesboro, TN!   You’ll hear some classics around the theme of “Welcome Back To Jesus”…artists like Mustard Seed Faith, Lewis McVay, Farrell and Farrell, Allies, Bryan Duncan and much more!  Click the playlist button and give it a spin!

I’m praying for your new beginning and that 2011 will be a year of increase and favor upon  your life!  We’re donation and prayer supported.  Thanks in advance for your blessing this ministry and sharing the good news about this classic Jesus music show!  May we rejoice in His goodness in the new year!  Have a blessed New Year everyone!

Hi Everybody!  It’s time for a new season for us all.  A year that we will never forget has come to an end.

Here in Nashville, we’ll not forget the “flood” of the century in early May when hundreds of homes were made uninhabited by the deluge. The historic Opryland Hotel and the Grand Old Opry were closed due to the high waters and have just reopened.

Then there was the lost of good friends like my mentor Tom Dooley and Jesus music pioneers Danny Taylor, Tom Howard, Kevin Thomson from the Sweet Comfort Band and Dana Key from the DeGarmo and Key band.  Our loss…heaven’s gain.

What will the New Year bring to us?  No-one can be sure, of course…but we can predict some things with accuracy. Here are 5 predictions for the new year.  Check em’ out and I invite you to come back to this list during 2011 and see if any of these predictions are in error.  Here we go:

1. The Bible will still have the answers.
2. Prayer will still work.
3. God will still pour out blessings upon His people.
4. Jesus will still love you.
5. Jesus will still save the lost.

Hold fast to the Lord in 2011…it’s gonna be quite a ride!

I’m in the studio…and a new FULL CIRCLE episode is coming your way to celebrate the new year!  Be blessed!

Hi Everybody,

It’s almost Christmas time!  If you are already in the holiday spirit…check out Episode 7 in our archives and you’ll hear my very first FULL CIRCLE JESUS MUSIC Classic Christmas show…worth the listen!

I know that you will receive many requests for your financial investments at the end of the year and will make prayerful decisions regarding how to invest your God-given resources. If you have listened to FULL CIRCLE more than once, you know that we are committed to changing lives through the best in classic Jesus music…with a ministry of encouragement.  Many are rediscovering a precious moment from the past and others for the first time are finding out the amazing legacy of CCM.

As we look to the end of this season and the beginning of a new year…without sufficient resources, we will miss the opportunity to …
… produce quality programming that will feature interviews and the history of the “music that moved us” from so long ago
… touch lives around the world through the internet who have never even heard Christian music period, much less know where it came from
… interview and document the stories of many early Jesus music artists that want their story to be known
… continue to produce radio specials and archive songs from ancient vinyl as digital mp3s
… build a worldwide community of people who are committed to spreading the good news through classic Jesus music with a message

Will you join with us in making this a possibility? Will you invest, even a little,  to partner with us?  Everyone doing just a little will make a world of difference.

Thanks everyone…and have a Blessed Christmas Season!!

Jerry

Hi Everybody…here’s another unbelievable milestone!  When we started the show…we had two years of underwriting from our friends at Global Advance.  Since then, we’ve believed with many of you that God would provide for FULL CIRCLE through the listening audience.  I am so thankful He has brought us this far…thanks to each of you who’ve helped along the way…with either large or small financial gifts…one time or monthly.  We couldn’t have done it without you being directed by the Lord to help out.

So, how about an early Thanksgiving gift, unless you live in Canada where I’m eleven months early?  (I realize that many of my international listeners aren’t celebrating Thanksgiving either)  Episode #150 is up!!  Incredible hits from the early 70’s from groups like DeGarmo and Key, Matthew Ward, Love Song, and others…you’re going to enjoy this one if you love Jesus music!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and blessings on you as your share whatever you can.  Remember you can either use the regular mail…or the PayPal to the left.

Watch the new video that I’m posting soon and find out who is going to be on the FULL CIRCLE show.

My heart is sad, yet I rejoice that my friend is in the presence of His Master and King…and because there will be a glorious resurrection…death has no sting.

I loved Tom Dooley…he was my connection and helped encourage me to put FULL CIRCLE JESUS MUSIC on the air.  He’s always been my friend and encourager…and last night He was joyously received into his Father’s arms!!

Tom had a tumor on his brain was being treated with radiation and chemotherapy.

Tom was the founder of MasterMedia Ministries and the former morning man for the former KVTT in Dallas.  His radio show, THE JOURNEY with Tom Dooley was a 2-hr. daily Christian music/talk radio program and a 3-hr. weekend show heard on over 200 stations.  It was a unique broadcast combining the worlds of contemporary Christian music and literature with commentary from Tom. The focus of the ministry was that of discipleship and encouragement.

Tom was a giant of a man in the Spirit, a prophet and innovator and a leader you just wanted to be around.

We first met when both of us were in Virginia Beach working for the Christian Broadcasting station in Tidewater.

I’ll miss him…but we’ll be together again soon.

Please remember his family, friends and associates in prayer if you would.  Thanks.
