Are You Saved? The Tour…

Mission Statement – Bringing the uncompromising word of God to every nation by means of media including music, films, tv/radio, clothing line, magazines, Christian night clubs and mentor programs.

Why we need your help?
Even though this ministry has been extremely wise with our income we are definitely limited in our operation. God Himself has given us a vision to bring this world into an intimate relationship with Christ and a precise strategy on how to execute it in a timely manner but we need financial support in order to do so.  We lack the equipment neccasary to conduct our mentor programs effectively as well as the proper transportation to all the artistis on the “Are you Saved’” tour to each event. We desire to offer free food to the communities we hold events in not only to put something in their belly but in hopes that the free food would attract people we can minister to. We also desire to purchase promotional products such as flyers we can design and place at gas stations advertising scriptures as well as our website which contains music, directions to our church and daily encouragement.

about the founder – Stephen I. was introduced to Hip-Hop around age 12 and he immediately fell in love with the confident, courageous and charismatic artists who he began to idolize. Gangster rappers such as Tupac, Master P., Snoop Dogg and others raised Stephen I. in the absence of his dad.
Stephen soon started portraying the lifestyle he heard in rap music. He began fighting frequently, stealing daily and he dropped out of school to sell drugs and run the streets. By this time Stephen, himself, was addicted to marijuana and in and out of jail. He had numerous near death experiences while distributing drugs and being involved with gangs yet nothing seemed to open his eyes. He recalls one day in particular in Cherokee County jail that he will never forget… “There was no hope for me AT ALL,” he says. “I finally sobered up enough to realize I had completely ruined every opportunity I ever had and my life was destroyed. About the time I was ready to throw in the towel, I heard the guard marching around the corner with a letter in his hand from my sister. The letter was all about Jesus and how He wanted to forgive me and give me another chance and I instantly cried out to the Lord with all my heart.”
After Stephen got out of jail he met Kevin Whitaker founder of Meekness Music and soon signed with the label and has been touring for the past two years with the mission of bringing the hope of Jesus Christ to Hip-Hop music and it’s millions of followers. Last year alone Stephen I. ministered to thousands of people accross America. From colleges and churches to family reunions and birthday parties; from professional basketball games to prisons Stephen I has been given the ability to communicate effectively to all types of cultures and backgrounds. His ministry has been radically impacting people from all over with the uncompromising word of God. Not only does Stephen I. minister through music but he is a recognized preacher calling this world to repentance.

letter of recommendation -

It is my pleasure to recommend Stephen.  I have known Stephen and his family for several years and have witnessed the saving grace of our Lord Jesus working in his life.  Stephen is truly “born again” and has a burning desire to serve the Lord.

Presently, Stephen is doing an excellent job heading up our teen program.  Also, he ministers at other churches and events.  God is using Stephen to touch the lives of many.  I am confident that Stephen will utilize the Media skills and knowledge for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

Stephen will be a valuable addition to your student body.  I strongly recommend him.

Sincerely,
