Full Length!


GLOBAL OUTREACH & RECORDING MISSION TRIP
HAITI 2012
     We need YOU to join MOUTH Records as we head out to Haiti in August of 2012 for our first full length Recording Project.
     MOUTH Records is setting out to Anse-a-Galets, Haiti in August 2012 in order to provide assistance with local education, show Jesus to the local community, provide native language books for the Children with Starfysh, and Record our first Full-Length Global Community album staring Haitian musicians.

      We are sending a team of 4 individuals on a 10 day Mission to really connect with the local community and bond with them through the Lord’s gift of Music.

      There is no possible way for us to do this without the support from our Global Community (you).

MOUTH would love and appreciate support in the following ways:
  • Continuous Prayer
    • First and foremost we need you to be a faithful praying community.  God is at the Head of this project and without Him our efforts are completely useless.  
  • Focused Prayer
    • Location, Team members, equipment, time management, etc.  MOUTH values your effort to check-in on exactly what our prayer needs are throughout our planning period.
  • Advertisement
    • Tell everyone you know!! If you’re excited about the blessing that God is giving MOUTH Records through your community participation, then tell the World!
  • Letters (not Emails) of Encouragement
    • MOUTH would love you to send your encouragement.  Real mail is something that is very precious in today’s technology driven society.  The time to send a letter can go a long way in encouraging us in God’s Misison.  
      • MOUTH RECORDS 528 Spencer NE, Grand Rapids, MI, USA 49505
      • MOUTH RECORDS 50Gerrard St.E, #901A Toronto, ON, CA M5G2A7
  • Monetary Support
    • As we are quite sure you are aware of, we would not be able to do this without the Community’s Monetary Support.  We greatly appreciate every penny donated and encourage you to invest in the Musical Community of the Globe.
ADDED INCENTIVE
We would like you to know that with every donation you are investing in a globally conscious business that values musical community throughout the world. You are investing in God’s plan for our lives and for the lives of many Globally Isolated Musicians that we will be able to reach with your faithful help.







FOR EVERY Donation of $20 or more, you will receive a free copy of the CD that we record on the Mission.

Your name and information will be taken down and we will make sure to keep you on our mailing list for when the CD is finally ready for release just in time to make the perfect Christmas Gift. 

MOUTH is really relying on the Global Community to kick start this project.  We are in great need of people to believe in what God has in store for us as a Record Label as well as a Global Mission

Thank you in advance to your response to the Spirit

MOUTH RECORDS
The MOUTH through which the global voice can burst into song

Mouth’s Roots


The name and concept of MOUTH originated at a convention during my senior year of high school. At this stage of my life, I was beginning to feel called into full time ministry. At the same time, I was experiencing a growing desire to operate a record label. At the convention, we were listening to a sermon about the parts of the Body of Christ. The speaker asserted that he was the Mouth of God since he was allowing us to hear the sermon. However, he said that it wasn’t enough to just be the Mouth of God, because all of the other staff, volunteers, and leaders at the convention were vital to allowing the Mouth to be heard.


While hearing this sermon I began to relate it to my growing desire to operate a record label. I realized that just like the speaker was the Mouth of God at the convention, a record label is the Mouth of the music business world. The label is what gets the music (Word) out of the studio (brain) and into the consumer’s hands (congregation).

Attachment to the name

As time went on, and still to this day, I find many instances in which “Mouth Records” is a perfect fit for my life. My mouth got me into trouble growing up- from eating dog food as a baby, to accepting the gallon of milk dare, talking out of turn, and talking back to teachers. Eventually, I learned that, if I decided to tame my mouth, it could be a gift used to worship God, build community, and, of course, create music.
