For the Forgotten . . . A Free Concert With Silent Auction

5:30 pm - preview of Silent Auction and meet and greet Stan and Janet Nowell - founders of Forgotten Children Ministries, as well as Matt and Megan Magill, Christian artists. 6:00 pm - concert begins. Matt and Megan Magill are donating their wonderful musical ability for this charity event.
Matt?s musical style reflects his experiences, struggles, pitfalls and the redeeming love of God, woven into the genre of Gospel, Country and Rock?n roll. His style combines the country gospel of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash with the modern-day Americana sound of bands such as Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals and Olabelle. Yet the heart of his provocative compositions is a message of hope and redemption that stays with you long after you hear him, just as the faces of the children aided by FCM.
FCM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which rescues the forgotten and abandoned street children of Honduras. This ministry takes the children from the streets, providing them with food, shelter, clothing and medical attention. However, this organization goes further than the short-term physical needs of the children and provides the long-term needs of nurturing, discipling, educating and providing vocational training, as it shares the hope and love found in knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

You are invited to attend this incredible night of inspiration in song with Matt Magill.

FOR THE FORGOTTEN. . .A FREE CONCERT FEATURING MATT AND MEGAN MCGILL WITH SILENT AUCTION BENEFITTING FORGOTTEN CHILDREN MINISTRIES

Short-term Mission Trips "For the Forgotten" Change Lives Forever

Santa Rosa Beach, FL, October 5, 2007 -- Good News United Methodist Church -- Good News United Methodist Church (GNUMC) continues its series of Good Evenings on Sunday, October 21, with a Silent Auction at 5:30 p.m. and free concert at 6:00 p.m. featuring Christian artists, Matt and Megan Magill, benefitting Forgotten Children Ministries (FCM).

When GNUMC began working with FCM earlier this year, the mission teams never dreamed of the effect it would have on their lives. Since FCM a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which rescues the forgotten and abandoned street children of Honduras, the trips' participants knew they would be exposed to another community and culture. However, they had no idea how the first-hand insight into issues faced by the "forgotten" Honduran children would effect them--driving them to make two trips to Honduras this year, with another mission team returning later this year.

Tracey Priest, Director of Non-Local Missions for GNUMC and the trips’ coordinator, says "These former street kids have really touched our hearts. All they want is to be loved. Most have been discarded by there parents and have lived on the streets for a period of time. While on the streets they will do anything to survive including eating out of garbage cans and sniffing glue to take away hunger pains." While in Honduras the trips’ participants had many opportunties to minister to the surrounding community. They brought shoes, food and clothing to those in need, but the needs are great in Honduras, and these needs remained in the hearts of the trips’ participants.

To help our community catch the vision of FCM, founders, Stan and Jan Nowell, along with Matt and Megan McGill, will be on hand at 5:30 p.m. to answer questions and talk with people about this ministry and its efforts. This ministry takes the children from the streets, providing them with food, shelter, clothing and medical attention. However, this organization goes further than the short-term physical needs of the children and provides the long-term needs of nurturing, discipling, educating and providing vocational training, as it shares the hope and love found in knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

GNUMC has partnered with Christian artists, Matt and Megan McGill, to sponsor this event not only aid FCM in its day-to-day activities, but to help it expand its ability to minister to the street children of Honduras. At this time, FCM can only meet the needs of boys because of space. However, they wish to spread their assistance to the girls of Honduras and hopes to begin with a farm available near Grace Farm (which houses the boys) that is available for $150,000, an ideal setting to minister to the girls of the area. FCM is also currently seeking to build a multi-purpose building that will serve as a school, medical clinic and kitchen to feed neighborhood kids. A 5,000 sq. ft. building can be built for $80,000.

Matt and Megan Magill are donating their wonderful musical ability for this charity event. Their musical style reflects their experiences, struggles, pitfalls and the redeeming love of God, woven into the genre of Gospel, Country and Rock’n roll. Their style combines the country gospel of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash with the modern-day Americana sound of bands such as Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals and Olabelle. Yet the heart of their provocative compositions is a message of hope and redemption that stays with you long after you hear them, just as the faces of the children aided by FCM.

You are invited to attend the Silent Auction and incredible night of free inspiration in song with Matt and Megan Magill at Good News United Methodist Church located at 4747 Hwy 98 West directly across from Bayou Bill's Restaurant in Santa Rosa Beach.
