So? What is "project : foundations" all about anyway? Simply stated, it is a collaborative effort by a few individuals to share the music and message of our early church of God hymns. Friday, 6 August 2010 marks an important date in this project: the day when the seeds that God had planted began to break above the soil... if only ever so slightly.
It was during the break between worship team practice and the evening service at the church of God's Ohio Central District Campmeeting that two individuals met and discovered that God had placed a mutual interest on each of their hearts: the love of the old church of God hymns.
Looking back, it's hard to recall exactly how everything fell into place but it goes something very similar to this:
Jon: Wouldn't it be great if we could redo some of the old church of God hymns?
Mike: Are you serious?
Jon: Yeah... I think it would cool so that more people could hear these awesome songs!
Mike: You ARE serious.... WOW! You're not going to believe this but I've been working arranging some of the old hymns for about three years now. In fact, I'll be singing one during Sunday night's service.
Jon: Are you serious?
Mike: Yeah... I've just been hanging on to them asking, "Okay God; you gave these to me, now what do you want me to do with them?" I've been trying to figure out what to do with them for awhile now.
Jon: I have a recording studio and I'm looking to do a new project. I've always wanted to do something like this but I can't do it alone and I've needed to find someone to help me out.
Mike : I've always wanted to do a project like this too. I hate the thought that my kids and others might lose the deep message in a lot of these hymns but I've never had anywhere to record them...
And the rest is, as they say, history. To date Jon and Mike have met several times, usually with an instrument or three around, to begin working on what has become known as project : foundations. The excitement shared by Jon and Mike has bubbled over to some others as well and now they have become involved in the project as well.
