The Switch Kids!

With one of the most energetic and entertaining live shows this side of the equator, The Switch Kids will most definitely leave you gasping for air! Hailing from a small suburb of Pittsburgh, PA, this POWER POP experience has rocked the hearts of thousands in just a few short years. Emerging with a unique style that has been "kid tested and mother approved", yet still speaking the universal language of rock, they have broken stereotypical barriers with 3-part harmony and driving compositions.

Flying just under the radar, The Switch Kids have independently sold over 10,000 records, attributing their success to "living in a van down by the river" for 10 months out of the year.

Reach Records

Reach Records was started in 2003. They soon realized that the crowds where getting hype about the music, but then lost interest when it came to getting in the Word and living a lifestyle for Christ. They had little to feed on that was culturally speaking their language. The more venues Lecrae and the artists went to, the more ministry leaders they found where asking for solid resources to reach the emerging hip hop culture. So in 2006 we developed ReachLife Ministries to meet that need. But our vision quickly expanded from equipping churches with curriculum, to passionately seeing the WORLD reached for Christ through intentional discipleship! We began our international arm, and leadership training for Christ's strategy of disciple making. To listen to the music of Reach Records visit them at their website.

 Living Stone Ministries

 Haiti

Living Stone’s primary project is a partnership with “Book of Hope International.”  The “Book of Hope” is a scripture portion of the Gospels put together as a high impact magazine designed to reach children and youth with an age-specific message of hope and salvation through teaching them how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  Book of Hope provides the books in French and Creole while Living Stone Ministries provides training to Haitian National Church partners as well as overseeing much of the work throughout Haiti. 

Along with books for literate children and youth, there is also a book designed for illiterates as well as an animated video version of the book called “The God Man.”  Lord willing, the Carl’s hope their National Partners will be able to give one book to each of Haiti’s 4,000,000 children before the end of 2012.Visit their website.
