Jim Yackel

Greetings Everyone! I'd like to share with you what has been going on with the Rock Music Ministry of Jim Yackel in recent weeks. Tracks from my recently released CD Agapé have begun to get radio airplay in various places around the world. I pray that the list of stations that are picking up the CD will grow. The songs We Are The Church, Tears of Joy, and Supernatural Wonderful Thing have each individually spent time at #1 in recent weeks on the UnsignedBandweb.com Christian Rock charts. Having songs reach number one on any chart is blessing for a recording artist, and for those number ones I thank the Lord! I'd like to personally thank all of you who have purchased copies of the CD Agapé. Currently, I have enough material for two more albums and the Lord continues to bless me with even more songs. Some videos for Agapé songs have to get produced, and then I will begin work on the next album. I invite you to visit my website at http://www.jimyackel.com/music.htm. There, you can check out some of my music and purchase copies of Agapé. You will also find links to purchase individual MP3 downloads of the songs--and much more. I Hope you drop by! God Bless You--Jim

I give thanks to the Lord every day. I offer up thanks for the ability that I have to make music for Him. What a blessing and joy it is to be able to lead worship for Him. Such a blessing and a joy that I can write songs that worship Him and evangelize on His behalf. I have been charged to be an evangelist. I know that this is my calling. You may have never heard of Jim Yackel and that is fine--as those that need to hear of me will. You may not like my music and that is fine as well--as those who will need to like it will like it. While the Rock Music Ministry of Jim Yackel http://www.jimyackel.com/music.htm promotional wheels are always turning, I have gained enough wisdom and discernment to know that those wheels will roll only as far as God wills them to. Rolling wheels against God's will is tantamount to rolling wheels up (not down) a steep hill. All those years spent playing secular music in smoke-filled nightclubs permeated with the malodorousness of stale beer, cheap pefume, broken promises and shattered dreams, were training for the work of this evangelist. How often did I see Satan seated at the bar with a self-satisfied grin on his face? Those years were the apprenticeship by fire. Now, to make music with Jesus as the theme is to make glorious music indeed! Hallelujah! Yes, the wheels are continuing to roll, praise God. My first Christian-Rock CD Agape' was released in October of 2007. I have written enough material for the next two albums, and God willing, those records will get recorded and released. Videos to accompany the Agape' songs are finally in the works. Father God, I pray that you will let these wheels keep rolling. Please let them roll farther and faster. Please let them roll through rain, snow, sleet, hail, icy cold and infernal heat. Please let this music you have given me reach hearts all over the world. Use me to warn them. Use me to help them reach a worshipful place. Help me to always reach that worshipful place before you. Use me to proclaim your name through song. I ask this in the most glorious name of Jesus. Amen.

Greetings All, I have been alerted to the news that I have been nominated for prestigous Momentum awards at IndieHeaven.com. In essence, it means that individuals have gone to the Momentum Awards page on IndieHeaven.com and selected me an a recording artist for nomination. It is said that the Momentum award is like the Grammy of Christian music. If I were selected as a winner in any of the categories, I would need to go to the Christian Independent Artists Summit in Nashville in March to receive my award. So, again, I come to you seeking your votes. If you feel so lead, please go to http://www.indieheaven.com/momentum_awards.php Scroll through the drop-down menus in Rock Artist Of The Year and the Male Vocalist Of The Year categories and hi-lite my name. I don't know if you can vote in both categories or just one. You may also type in Song Of The Year He's Coming and Album Of The Year Agape' selections for me if you so choose. Thanks and God Bless You!--JIM
