Holy Culture Drop CD 2013

I am really looking forward to the Drop CD this year as we’re working to make some changes from the first edition.  Most notably, in this edition, we’re working to make it more local with a concentrated push in 5 markets.  If you have even the slightest interest in us trying to change the behavior and trajectory of our young people, I’d ask you to read the post below and consider making a small donation to the project.

Music for your ears. Truth for your heart.

On August 2nd, 2011, HolyCulture.net released the first DROP CD project. The DROP CD received a warm welcome and has since been distributed both physically and digitally over 11,500 times across the world. Now on its sophomore album, Holy Culture presents a similar album, but it will include a more intentional storyline with some of today’s most talented artists. The new project will also include a Biblical curriculum which mirrors the album and other resources such as music videos, devotionals and more. These resources are an excellent way for Churches to provide Biblical truths in a real and relevant way.

OBJECTIVES:

• To provide a strategic hip-hop compilation album, free of charge, that presents a Biblical account of the story of God and how we fit into His plan.
• To use the album as an evangelistic outreach tool, available in both physical and digital formats, for individuals, Churches and Christian organizations alike to use in ministry.
• To go beyond music by organizing community outreaches in order to love God and love our neighbor by being Jesus’ hands and feet.
• To provide a Biblical curriculum that works in concert with the album in order to foster deeper spiritual growth and knowledge.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

• PRAYER – Pray for the process of the project, those who will use it and those who will hear it.
• PROMOTIONS – Encourage people to download the project when it’s released and
• DONATE – You’re at the right place! Help us by financially supporting the project. For every dollar you donate, we’ll be able to share the Gospel with at least one person.

TIMELINE:

• Tentative Album Release Date: Late August 2013.
• Tentative Curriculum Release Date: September 2013.

Five US cities will be selected to host a community outreach event (block party, concert, fair).
