<span style="color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We wanted to blast out a quick update before Labor Day.</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Johnna (Take No Glory's singer and songwriter) has been working on some new music and hopes to get back into the studio next year to create our next album. The reason for the delay on recording new music is that Johnna (and her husband Ian) are expecting their second baby in October. They are really excited about having another baby boy and plan to name him Kenton Kooper Utile :-)</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">We recently created this link (</span><a href="http://bit.ly/21tnGsongs" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: yellow;">http://bit.ly/21tnGsongs</span></b></a><span style="color: white;">) if you would like to download all 21 of our existing songs as one large .zip file. Please feel free to share this music link with others. We still have the same policy, "unauthorized distribution is encouraged and appreciated!"</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">Besides wanting to update you on tnG, we also wanted to tell you about a special project. Josh Fox has had a great influence on our music, and he is going into the studio next month to record another album. Please take a look at what he is working on (here </span><a href="http://bit.ly/JFproject" target="_blank"><span style="color: yellow;"><b>http://bit.ly/JFproject</b></span></a><span style="color: white;">) and do us a personal favor by supporting him.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Joyfully serving Jesus, </span><br />

As we (Ian and Johnna Utile) celebrated our son Malakye's 1st birthday, we also mourned because we miscarried our second child. We were excited to meet this baby, who was due August 30th, but we will have to wait until Heaven to see our little one. Right after we lost our child, we noticed that Psalm 34 was written on a shirt we had been given as a gift a few days ago. We wept as we read....</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">"The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles.

We also believe that it is not a coincidence that all in one day (March 3rd, 2010) we released our new song "Let You Live" about healing from an abortion, celebrated our son's 1st birthday and lost our second baby to a miscarriage.<br /><br />The Lord gives and takes away, but our hearts will choose to say, "Blessed be Your name." We pray that this same joy and comfort that we are able to have, regardless of what trials may come, would be yours today as well - because of Jesus.</span><br /><br /><object style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PuoQBLdVLHQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PuoQBLdVLHQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">We made a video for "Let You Live".

Eric and Mandy had the same desire, and our two families left everything behind and started doing life together.

We did more than a hundred concerts on our "world tour" through Asia, Europe and the states. By God's grace we have freely distributed more than a million copies of our original songs and preached the Gospel to countless people. The Lord has done great things and we humbly give Him all the praise and glory!</p> <p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; min-height: 14px;"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">So much is changing with each of our lives since we have been back home.

Questions began very general as you will read below, but our LORD always directed people right to Himself.

It is hard for us to be apart from them, since we are all family, so pray for all of us in that matter that the Lord would keep us unified.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">We pray that you are blessed and encouraged today as you continue in the faithfulness of our Lord.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Your prayers, petitions and praises are felt whether near or far, as the Lord is comforting, healing and doing signs and wonders in our midst.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It has been such a blessing to walk these days out with you as we all see the Lord move in awesome and amazing ways.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">Here are a few highlights that will hopefully encourage, embolden and enrich you as you continue to follow our Lord faithfully today.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">From small prayer sessions with the students, to large-scale concerts and revivals, we've been humbled and amazed at how glorious our God is.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"><b>"Taste and see that the Lord is good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!"<o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8.0pt;color:black;"><b>(Psalm 34:8)</b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">Wednesday June 18th, The LORD blessed us with an outreach at Siliman University.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In fact the students were all full of tears, and amens as we met and prayed about how the outreach would be most effective for the LORD's glory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Honestly, the emotions in the room were extremely thick as we could all see that the hand of the LORD had united and prepared our hearts for what was to come.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">Isn't it amazing to watch the LORD move throughout the body!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Seriously, He, the LORD Jesus Christ, put several men and women from different cultures and backgrounds in a room together to love on a college campus through music and teaching!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Amazing!!!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">The scene was set for an amazing night as many students labored in constant prayer over the concert and the message that was to be spoken.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Our team was encouraged and blessed to see many people praying with such a heart for their brothers and sisters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Throughout the concert Ian and Eric shared from the CD as the rest of the team ministered to the students through music and prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>(On a side note:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>We are blessed with an amazing team that is constantly giving all of their heart, soul, mind and strength to love the lost and challenge the church as a response to the awesome love of our LORD!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>We are blessed!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Several young men and women received prayer and were encouraged to follow hard after their LORD.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>As the concert closed up and worship was coming to an end it seemed as if the choir of Heaven was let loose upon the room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It was amazing to be able to hear about 1000 students sing their hearts out to the LORD in surrender and sacrifice. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">After the concert, the Principle contacted tnG to comment on the outreach and give his invitation to come back any time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>What a blessing to see the LORD continue to open doors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The LORD has given us incredible favor, and we know that it is because of the faithful students and men and women who have labored on their knees in prayer!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">Thursday June 19th, the LORD provided an outreach in a town called Sibulan at an outdoor amphitheater. This was the same day the typhoon hit the surrounding islands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The rain and the wind came down hard and started to flood the stage, and all our equipment started short-circuiting. We prayed that the rain would stop so that people would come, and the Lord stopped the rain for us! The night became an awesome time of worship, as many children joined in singing, dancing, and clapping their hands! The gospel was preached in their local dialect, and many came forward to accept the Lord! After that, we had an extended time of worship as the church engaged in joyful worship with us. Is there anything more precious than seeing many young men and women coming together and shouting in intimacy and innocence before the Lord?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">Friday June 20th, the LORD allowed us to challenge a student ministry as they begin their school year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The LORD brought such a joy to our hearts as we watched the youth worship the LORD with such excitement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The passage that was taught on was Matthew 5:16, which says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven".<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The LORD had several of the School of ministry students lead the teaching on being a light to the dark world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The exhortation was to live out the fruit of the Spirit as our Light to the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Once again, worship was amazing and the students sang louder than the band.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">Saturday June 21st, we were blown away by the opportunity to play at the Lamberto Macias Center! About four thousand people attended the concert, which was held in a huge sports-like complex. The School of Ministry and the PTA (Pastoral Training of Asia), along with many other churches came together to serve, pray and help with the event. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">A brother in Christ, who has a radio ministry here personally funded the entire event! What an incredible blessing! Pastor Joe of Calvary Chapel Dumaguete preached the gospel, and gave an altar call, to which 500-600 people came forward to either accept Jesus Christ as their Lord, or to rededicate their lives to Jesus! Praise the LORD!!!! Our new brothers and sisters in Christ were then taken backstage, prayed over and received follow up information on how to get plugged in to the local church.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">The night continued in intense worship as the church almost drowned out the band as they sang their hearts out before the LORD!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>That night was a miracle and we all left in a daze of God's glory. We all just said to each other, "What just happened?!!!" All glory be to the LORD!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">Sunday June 22nd, we went to other side of island to a town called Alaman. We were in the middle of the effects of the typhoon that was stirring up the weather, and once again, we pleaded with the LORD that He would stop the rain so people would come. Once we started playing, the Lord stopped the rain, and the sun broke through the ominous clouds. About 25 people showed up, and we we're able to preach the gospel in a different way than we ever had. One man from PTA had the spontaneous idea to do a drama about a personal relationship with Christ. About 6-7 people came forward and accepted Christ, and we were able to pray for them and plug them into a local bible study. Right when we finished praying, the rain started up again!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Praise the Lord that souls were saved! What a miracle!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">There are so many more details to these events, and so many more outreaches that happened that didn't even involve music, such as orphanages, hospitals, mental hospitals, and mountain ministries. But time and space avails us!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">We want to thank you again all for your faithful prayers and support! We love you, and hope that you are encouraged by all that the LORD is doing. Our God is alive and well and is just looking for hearts that are loyal to Him, that He may show Himself strong on His behalf.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Joyfully
