Songs of Ascent

Over the years Light Bearers has become associated with a number of talented musicians and songwriters. We’ve often daydreamed about a music tour that would be biblically grounded, of the highest musical quality, and evangelistically savvy. Those dreams have become reality. The first (we hope of many!) Songs of Ascent Concert Tour took place from April through June 2011. We traveled all over California and featured a themed approach that included original songs from several young, spirited Adventist musicians, most of them being former students of our ARISE evangelism training program. We’re so thankful to Jesus for the blessings and success of the tour, which included more than 20 concerts and added 3000 miles to a very carefully and thoroughly packed mini-van. Christ was uplifted and hearts were moved by the gospel-centered music provided by the “musicianaries” (they are musicians and missionaries) that led those attending on the Eden to Eden journey through Scripture. We believe this creative project is just the beginning of a whole new way of “doing” ministry and evangelism. We are currently planning the 2012 tour that will take place in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, British Columbia). Let the dreams continue!

2012 “Who I AM” Tour

It is a tragic reality that many fail to respond to God and His love because of a misunderstanding of who He really is. Many see God as either aloof and impersonal or as unjust and unloving. Through music, testimonies, and Scripture “Who I AM” seeks to undo the misconceptions about God’s character by presenting a biblically accurate picture of who He is—a loving Creator and Savior who desires to be intimately and genuinely involved in the lives of His children.

Three Cords

ERIC & MONIQUE JOHNSON
The Australian couple met in 2006, fell in love, then decided to serve God together for the rest of their lives. They married in January 2008. That same year, while Eric served at two churches and Monique was a teacher, they realized that even while serving God, they were caught up in materialism and mere cultural Christianity. 2009 saw them on a journey of learning to trust God while spending time in Europe and the US. It was a life-changing experience as God began the process of rebuilding them to be missionaries for Christ. Their debut album, Pilgrim, was released in 2010.

Confessions of a Prodigal

ALISON BROOK
Alison’s recording debut was the song “Jesus Little Lamb,” which she sang on pitch in a voice only two years old. Twenty years later that voice matured into a vehicle for heavenly messages carried in her songs. Alison began touring during her summer breaks to raise money to record her first album, No Words, which was released in 2009. More important and essential than her talent is Alison’s commitment to the Gospel. Her personal life authenticates her message, which is the message of Jesus. Through her personal witness and music, hearts will be moved to accept that gift.
