A WORD FROM VALLETA LANIER

For over 30 years in ministry, every step of the way,

it seems that God has called Gary and me to launch out in the "new"!

We have always been INDIES! I guess you could say, "It's just in our blood!"

But the real truth is, it's in our hearts.

God has always brought before us challenges, and with Him, we continue to

embark on new and innovative ways to fulfill all He has called us to do.

The question has never been, "Can we?, but "How?"

With that "how" spirit, the true spirit of an INDIE, it is a joy for me to bring you the

THE 'HOW TO' GUIDEBOOK FOR INDIE MINISTRY.

This book will give you a simple "step by step" guide for developing every aspect of an Indie ministry.

It was designed to help artist, songwriters, and ministers from differing venues, establish a good foundation of ministry,

then tools that will help you grow your ministry!

May you experience His blessings, in your INDIE ministry.
