Hi Pastor John,
Every 3 months, we run a report to see how many streams and downloads we have for the Thanksgiving Live Vol. 2 so we can pay the royalties due to the company who oversees that. This reporting period, July – September, we had 224 individual song streams on that one particular CD. We had people listening on iTunes in Canada, South Africa, and even one download of “Reach Out and Touch the Lord” on iTunes in Singapore.
Since there was in increase in streaming on that CD, I checked out our other CD’s too. On the Father and Son Music CD, someone in Singapore has also downloaded “You’re Still God”. Looking at the Thanksgiving Live Vol. 1, there has been a definite increase in streaming, showing just over 100 streams in a two day period (The Rose, Jesus’ Fax Machine, The Book of Hebrews, Together in Unity, etc.).
It is exciting to think of any of God’s children finding our music and finding comfort, strength, and hearing an echo to what the Spirit is saying inside of them. There were recently 10 streams in one day of “Jesus’ Fax Machine”! Now, whoever is listening to that song and enjoying it is my friend! 🙂 I pray for our brothers and sisters. This is music for them!
