It’s been one year since NAMESAKE dropped a new track. Check out our new unreleased track “DREAM”(Can’t Stop Me Now). This song came out of a year of trials and tribulations since we dropped our first record “Heart Back EP”.
This song DREAM is about still believing in your dreams when all seems lost. My music partner Mike Whang lost 50% of his hearing in February out of no where. Can you imagine being a musician and losing 50% of your hearing? Well, that’s what happened to my boy Mike. It hasn’t been easy, alot of questions went through his head and mine, but God is still good u know what I mean? That’s what this track is about, it’s about moving forward, onward and onward even when life throws you hits, you gotta keep believing in the Dream. Keep believing in God and keep believing in the dreams He’s put in your heart. CAN’T STOP ME NOW! WE STILL PRAISE HIM. WUT!!!
By the way, thank you all for the love and support for NAMESAKE music. Much love. Keep praying this music spreads light in the darkness

Proverbs 30:7-9
7Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):
8Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches–
Feed me with the food allotted to me;
9Lest I be full and deny You,
And say, “Who is the LORD?”
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God.
May we each day pray to remain content in Christ and Christ alone. Let us seek not to live a life of success but a life of significance. True success is being faithful to our values and convictions. May our values be that of God´s, that we may live a life of honor and integrity. May we never be greedy, desiring the things of this world because ´´The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want¨. Lord, give me neither riches to the point I forget you, nor Lord give me poverty to the point I no longer look to you but to myself to provide. Keep me and my brother and sisters humble all the days of our lives. You are our good Father and from you we receive all good things. Amen.
I am writing a blog post to invite you to Student CPx (Church Planting Experience) with Campus Church Networks and Student Church Movements this summer in Kansas City. This experience will be like no other, as the Holy Spirit has led our national leadership to start a intensive 2 week summer training (July 20- August 1, 2008) to equip student missionaries to start campus church planting movements on their respective colleges and universities across the nation.
This experience will be unique as the Lord has opened a wide door of ministry at Haskell University in Lawrence Kansas. This university is the largest Native American University in the nation. Over 130 sovereign nations are represented on this campus and we believe by re-digging the ancient wells of revival and honoring the first nations people in this generation it will be a key to unlocking another student missionary movement across the world.
Here’s a quick snapshot of what to expect:
I read the below article by J. Lee Grady on the Lakeland Healing Revival. Those of you who have been reading my blog I have been supporting the Lakeland revival. I truly believe there is a genuine move of the Holy Spirit, many are being saved, Jesus is being preached, unexplainable creative miracles are happening daily that are bringing many to a genuine encounter with God. When I watch the meetings there is a real hunger for God and I believe this is what is fueling this revival in Lakeland. But like any revival, we must beware of any extremes or abuses of the Spirit. I would encourage you read the below with wisdom, discernment and a open mind. As one mentor once told me “Eat the fish, but spit out the bones” Keep seeking God. Pray for Todd Bentley as he is man like any other man. My pastors know him personally and he has been restored recently from a time of brokenness. No one is perfect, so let’s pray for great grace upon those who are leading this outpouring of the Spirit…
Honest Questions About the Lakeland Revival
When I read the front page news of students buried alive under buildings in Xinhua China, when I saw the pictures of their bodies toppled over one another, I could not help but cry and ask God for mercy. Please pray, please help and let us unite together all over the world to aid our suffering brothers and sisters in Xinhua China after this devastating earthquake. As well as pray and do the same for those suffering, dying or homeless in Myanmar from the cyclones. Please post on this blog different organizations and way to help with aid. Below is an international prayer alert from the International Prayer Council. Lord Jesus, have mercy. JMA
Dear Friends,
Please continue to keep Myanmar in your prayers. There are over 34,000 confirmed dead and relief has only reached only a small portion of those needing assistance.
According to BBC News, the spokeswoman of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Geneva, Elizabeth Byrs, warned that its teams had only been able to reach 270,000 people – less than a fifth of the estimated total of survivors.
“God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him”
I’ve been thinking a lot about this quote recently. God didn’t create us to serve Him, He created us to know Him. Many people think that in order to love God, we must serve God. We think, in order to receive God’s blessing, we must do something to achieve it. Many Christians I know only relate to God for what He can do for them, or what He can give them. Not many seek God for God. I think God must get really frustrated when most people just treat Him like Santa Clause. God is not our employer and we are not just His employees. God created us for friendship. We were created for worship.
God is love. What He wants more than anything else is that we would seek Him for Him, and get to know Him because we want to, not because we have to. I don’t serve God for what He can do for me, or for what plans He has for me. To think that would be selfish and self serving. I serve God because I love Him. I love to love Him because He is the most amazing Person I have ever known. His love is incomparable. His presence is all I need.
To all my friends,
The Bella DVD comes out May 6th. I ask each of you to not only buy a copy of the DVD after reading this, but to encourage everyone you know in your sphere of influence and networks to do the same.

Bella is one of those stories that can change the heart of a generation. Imagine how one movie could impact millions around the world with God’s message, Bella is that movie. Please send the below link to as many people as possible asking them to join the Bella 10 Campaign (www.bella10campaign.com) so we can see millions touched with God’s heart.
