Becky serves as a passionate voice for children, particularly orphans and foster children.

Did you know that The Kate White Band, INDIEHEAVEN ARTIST, over this past year, Kate White has had the incredible opportunity to be the worship director for 2012′s Mission ConneXion Conference held last weekend, January 20-21 at Crossroads Community Church in Vancouver, WA. The task was to put a skilled team of international worshippers together that could comprise our worship team and lead out in worship with different languages…Each member of the team either spoke two languages or grew up in a two language environment. They sang not only English worship songs but also worshipped in Arabic, Indonesian, Portugese, Italian, Native American and Indian. How cool is that? Taking the language of “worship” and utilizing the talents of God’s children to worship Him. The Kate White Band has much more on their plate to offer…Take a moment and peruse their music at: Kate’s Indieheaven Profile

Did you know that David Michael Carrillo, INDIEHEAVEN ARTIST, is an ordained minister & worship leader who has been a full time “Musicianary” since 1990 . Growing up, he faced the challenges of having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,(ADHD), learning disabilities, and being rejected by his peers. In his new book called “Fearfully & Wonderfully Made”(My Christian Journey with ADHD), David Michael shares about the healing power of the Gospel that delivered him from the fear of people and self doubt that developed as a teenager and young adult. He has a heart & love for the country of Latvia & the Eastern European countries and works closely with East European Mission network outreaches.

This is David’s second year teaching in Latvia. Wow, this artist has a passion that is multi-faceted. His personal story is rock-solid proof of how God uses those of us they have had personal struggles in our life and how we can turn them into helping others who don’t believe they can get through their own struggles. Check out and support this ‘artist with a huge heart’ and follow his journey as he disciples through his music. Check out David’s music Here: David’s Indieheaven Profile

Did you know that BONE PROPHET, Indieheaven Artist, armed with the vision written in Ezekiel 37, The Valley of Dry Bones, brings music that reaches far into this generation. Every music scene has that one group that defines a new movement to surpass a listener’s expectations, and these guys truly succeed in doing that for today’s Christian Rock. Bone Prophet is a hard-hitting and edgy group with yet a very positive twist on lyrics and attitude. The band derives from Knoxville, TN but in a few short years has watched their efforts reach international status. Give them a listen and pass them on to the youth (and not so youth:) in this Universe. Check out their music Here: Bone Prophet’s Indieheaven Profile

We had the pleasure of attending the World Vision premiere showing of “Journey To Jamaa” this evening in Nashville. It is a story of 2 children from Africa whose mother died from aids and how their journey brought them to the Lord, and more! The music was provided by the band 1211, they were awesome!

Indieheaven is partnered with World Vision to share the WV opportunity to independent artists. If you are an independent artist, click Here to learn more and get involved!

Did you know Cameron, INDIEHEAVEN Artist, co-writes her songs with her husband. What makes this unique is that her husband, Jim, has no musical background whatsoever! She states it this way: ’0′. What an awesome rendering of God putting two of his children together and merging their gifts for His Glory. In Cameron’s own words, “Currently, Jim and I will spend many hours together writing, talking, praying, and working on new melodies and ideas of what we hear from our Father’s heart. We admit we cannot do this without Him. We love writing together! We have decided we’re hooked and there is no turning back to what life looked like before we started down this path. You see, we simply stumbled upon this idea of writing together one night….but that ….is another story for another time.” You see, it doesn’t always need to “make sense”. God has put an inner vision inside of each of us and when we have the desire to bring it all out to the surface for Him, you never know what will happen. Just ask Cameron!
