Welcome From Keith And Kristyn
Dear Friends,
Welcome to Sing! Global 2020. To those who have joined us before, thank you for continuing this adventure with us. To those who are new, we are so thrilled you could join us.
You will find lots of helpful information in this program: songs to sing, articles to read, and other resource opportunities. We also encourage you to download the Sing! conference app, and to familiarize yourself with the new online event platform with its exhibit hall and chat rooms to build new connections.
It is with great anticipation that we come to this year’s theme, the source of life and strength for the church through the ages: Sing the Scripture.
Over these next four days, we invite you into the Bible’s story—a story that centers on the glorious news that Christ is our hope in life and death. We pray that this event would help us all to know the Word of God more deeply, drink from it more desperately, obey it more humbly, proclaim it more boldly, and sing it more joyfully. We hope you will leave overflowing with songs and ideas that you can readily bring back to your local church, workplaces, colleges, and homes. We hope you will be inspired by the artistry of all our wonderful performers—we need reminders of God’s beauty and transcendence in a year marred by so much tragedy. We hope that families will gain practical tools to build new habits, for this year provides an unparalleled opportunity to teach children to sing the Word.
Of course, we never imagined that we would not be able to meet in person. Yet, while we cannot wait for the next time we are all together under one roof, we are excited to harness the opportunity of this moment and enjoy a truly unique event together as God’s people standing together around the world. And we hope you will enjoy all the talks and resources will remain available until the end of the year.
As we begin, this is our prayer: “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.” (2 Thes 2:16-17).
Grace and peace,
Keith and Kristyn
Special Thanks to CHM
Getty Music would like to extend our deepest thanks to our exclusive sponsor in the Sing! Global conference, Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM).
CHM is the nation’s original health cost-sharing ministry. They provide compassionate, faith-based healthcare cost solutions for Christians in all 50 states and around the world. According to CHM, “We don’t want to just be a sponsor; we want to be a partner in spreading the message. There is a strong relationship between spiritual and physical health, and we believe that the SING! conference is uniquely able to help encourage both, in individuals, in families and in congregations of believers.”
Christian Healthcare Ministries enables its hundreds of thousands of members to participate biblically, affordably and compassionately in paying each other’s medical bills. A nonprofit organization, CHM began in 1981 and is America’s original Christian health cost-sharing ministry. CHM enables its 21 st century Christian members to live the example shown in the Book of Acts of first century Christians sharing to meet each other’s needs—spiritually and financially— through some of life’s most challenging circumstances. CHM is an eligible option under the Affordable Care Act, a Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity and the only health cost-sharing ministry heard on The Dave Ramsey show. 152 Its members have shared over $3 billion dollars, covering each other’s medical bills.
