<div>Jan 31, 2024 update - Once again, Matt and Lauren want you to know you have been God’s hand and feet helping them with their medical bills.  This was a scary  accident but all are on the mend.  Matt has lingering issues from the TBI - traumatic brain injury - and will be seen by a neurologist in days to come. Hopefully all those symptoms resolve themselves quickly. He does not have to have sinus surgery which is a great relief.   Although the girls are just fine now they have had a hard time sleeping alone which has been a challenge.  Hopefully, they won’t remember this experience because they are so young.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hot off the press today,  Matt did say he hopes to start work on Monday if all goes well between now and then.  He works remotely for Teen Challenge of MN. 

Matt’s dad, Ken, found a van for them to buy as their car was totaled.  Lauren’s dad drove it down to them.  Matt’s cousin who is a mechanic kindly checked it all over and deemed it a great car for them.<br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><span>A huge answer to prayer came today.  Matt and Lauren wrote a letter asking their landlord if they could get out of their lease early.  Considering the very unusual nature of this situation, the landlord said sure.  They need to give a 30 day notice and that’s it.  The plan is to move back to WI where they lived before moving to KS.  Their home there is open and they can move back and rent it. Their WI home is near Lauren’s parents and a good supportive church family.  They love it there.  Matt said the fishing is great.<br /></span>
</div>
<div><span><br /></span>
</div>
<div><span>Their date to move has not been set yet. They may delay the move a bit so Matt can continue to heal without the stress of all it takes to move.

We will post more when we know more.<br /></span>
</div>

<div>Dec 29, 2023 original post:

</div>

<div>We are Matt’s aunt and uncle and have some painful news about Matt, Lauren, Ellie (3) and Rainy (18 mos.) Burg. If you met this sweet family, you would fall in love with them. Such kind, thoughtful, loving and giving people and the girls are adorable. Matt and Lauren have both worked at Teen Challenge in Minneapolis, sacrificially giving so others may have hope and recover as they did.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Wednesday, Dec. 27th around 7pm Matt and the wee ones were driving together and were involved in a serious car accident totaling their car. Matt and their littlest, Rainy, had concussions and Matt more serious injuries so those two were transported two hours away to a trauma center in Wichita, KS. Along with a concussion, Matt has broken ribs, a fractured sinus bone, an almost severed earlobe, bruising, and overall trauma pain. Matt and Rainy are still in the hospital but we hope will be released soon. Matt will have a longer recovery and perhaps sinus surgery ahead. As the breadwinner for the family he will not be able to work for some time, which will devastate their financial situation. Their only reliable car has been totaled.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>The Burg family are new to Claflin, KS, having moved there not long ago to take care of Lauren’s grandmother, so they have not had time to establish a home church or community. Being away from family and friends is very difficult and even more so in such circumstances.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Perhaps you know this family personally or you are being introduced to them for the first time and would like to help them.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>To everyone reading this, we would like to invite you to consider giving to a GO FUND ME account we have set up. Any amount will be so appreciated.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>And if you could let others know of this fund, that would be extremely helpful. Please share this with Teen Challenge staff, those impacted by their care and your church community as well. Even other friends and places of work may be able to help.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>As their family, we are so grateful for your prayers for their speedy recovery as well. We don’t want them to feel as alone or discouraged as they might with such mountains to climb while being away from family and friends.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>We deeply appreciate your consideration of their need and support in getting the word out. Love in action is so beautiful.

Help Matt Burg with hospital bills - auto accident

Hello dear friends,<br /><br /><strong>I want to record my debut music album</strong> and I need your help to do it!<br /><br />Watch one of the songs that I plan to record on my album.<br /><br /><iframe media_type="0" media_id="cGtVd20Fd8Q" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cGtVd20Fd8Q/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe><br /><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu1okGTwY_hTYB3dgSu_kfg">Click here</a>  to view more videos.<br /><br />PERKS TO DONATING<br /></strong>- Any $ amount:<strong> Digital album</strong> before public release.<br /><br />- $50 or more : <strong>Physical CD</strong> mailed to you before public release + previous perk.<br /><br />- $100 or more: <strong>2 free concert tickets</strong> of your choosing + all previous perks. *<em><a href="https://davidbeltmusic.com/shows">Concerts and details listed here.*</a></em><br /> <br />- $150 or more:<strong> I will write you your very own "thank you" song! </strong>+ all previous perks. <br /><br />- $250 or more: <strong>Invite to an exclusive Live-Stream Acoustic Show</strong>. I'll play a few of my songs and host a Q&amp;A about my music and the album. You can watch from the comfort of your own home! + all previous perks.<br /><br />- $500 or more: <strong>Invite to the studio</strong> one of the days we're recording and get a sneak peak of the work I'm doing. <em>*All studio recordings will be complete by April 5th.*</em> (Out of town donors can still video call in!) + all previous perks.<br /><br />- $1,000 or more: Host you, 3 guests of your choosing and other contributors at this level for dinner and a <strong>private listening party of the entire album</strong> + all previous perks.<strong><br /><br />WHY </strong><br />As many of you know, songwriting is one of the great passions of my life. Though I have been writing songs since I was 12,<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> I have recently felt an incredibly strong draw to be more intentional with my songwriting and sharing my music with others.</span> Whether in a church service, house show, or music venue,  I clearly see that my songs strongly resonate with so many people - and something very unique and powerful happens when people's stories intersect in a song. And the more I play my music for others, the more I get asked if I have any recorded music. To which I sadly but hopefully reply, “Not yet!”<br /><br />Recording my music and sharing it with people in a high quality way is my next step as an artist. This means recording these songs in a studio with professional musicians who will help deliver these songs in the best way possible.<br /><br /><strong>WHAT</strong><br />This recording will include seven original songs about God’s goodness in my own life, my marriage, and in hardship and loss. I've decided to do seven songs because the time required to record and see them through to the end is what I can realistically commit to at this time. My wife is on maternity leave until the beginning of April which allows for just enough flexibility for me to focus on this project. Now is a perfect time to go for it!<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/37000396_1549911534561598_r.jpeg" alt="37000396_1549911534561598_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><strong>HOW</strong><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;">All instrumentation</span> will be recorded with Matt Berry at Hewitt Studios in Minneapolis.<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> All vocal tracks</span> and mixing will be done with Samer Saem El Daher, my brother-in-law and international recording artist. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">All mastering</span> will be done by Reuben Cohen and Lurssen Mastering who have won a Grammy and have mastered songs by Ryan Adams, James Taylor and many others.<br /><br /><strong>COST</strong><br />Five of the seven songs will have a full team of musicians featured on them. Each of these five songs will cost $1,525. This price includes recording musicians, paying musicians, recording my vocals, and finally mixing and mastering the tracks. The combined total for these five songs is $7,625.<br /><br />The last two songs will be more "stripped down" and only feature a couple of musicians. This means less time in the studio and less musicians to pay. These two songs will have a combined cost of $1,680.<br /><br />The final stages of the album will include digital distribution (putting the music on Spotify, iTunes and every major electronic retailing company out there) for $50. The final stages will also include a cushion of $645 for any unforeseen extra time in the studio, Go Fund Me’s 2.9% fee of the fundraising goal amount and a $0.30 transaction fee for credit and debit card donations.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;">This comes to a grand total of <strong>$10,000.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/37000396_1549911966809276_r.jpeg" alt="37000396_1549911966809276_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /></strong></span><br /><strong>WHAT IF WE RAISE MORE MONEY THAN THE $10,000?</strong><br />I have 6 <em>additional</em> songs on standby ready to be recorded at a future date. As I mentioned before, my time currently allows for 7 songs. However, if we raised an <em>additional</em> $5,000 for example, I could go back into the studio later this year or next and record as many songs as the additional fundraised amount would provide for. *insert brain explosion here*<br /><br /><strong>TIMELINE</strong><br />- Reach $ goal by March 11th.<br />- Complete all recording of instrumentation and vocals by April 5th.<br />- All mixing and mastering complete by June 1st.<br />- Album made available to the public by Fall 2019 at the latest. (Specific date to be determined. Stay tuned!)<br /><br /><strong>WHAT I PLAN TO DO WITH IT</strong><br />Share it on every major electronic retailing company (iTunes, Spotify, etc.) for everyone to enjoy!<br /><br />I will also be sharing this album with my own personal network which includes worship leaders, churches in multiple denominations, my alma mater, musicians and artists around the country. My hope is that these songs will bear testimony to God’s goodness in my life, encouraging others to see his good work in their own lives, too. <br /><br />Lastly, I will use this album as a “business card” of sorts as I pursue more ministry opportunities and connections with other worship leaders and songwriters both locally and nationally. I clearly sense that songwriting is my tool to make beautiful art, which in turn inspires life to be lived more beautifully. This album will be a confident and excellent step toward professional artistry.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/37000396_1549913042683166_r.jpeg" alt="37000396_1549913042683166_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><strong>JOIN ME!</strong><br />Would you consider making a generous financial donation toward making this album become a reality? We all have experienced how the power of music and song reminds us of the most important things in life and compels us to live more courageously in the world. I want to create honest music that stirs and moves us to fully live the life we've been given. <br /><br />Let’s create together!<br /><br />With all of my gratitude,<br /><br />David Belt<br /><a href="https://davidbeltmusic.com/">www.davidbeltmusic.com</a> <br /><br /><br /><iframe media_type="0" media_id="Axy_Xnuvvqo" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Axy_Xnuvvqo/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe>

David Belt's Debut Album

Michael Dougherty

<div>Hi, my name is Pastor Ron Williams and I pastor New Vine Ministry Church, which was founded in 2010. I have been working in the field of recovery for men and women trying to recover from addiction. I am also in recovery myself and have 20 years of sobriety from drugs and alcohol. My passion over the last 20 years since I’ve been set free from being incarcerated is to become who I am today through finding God and allowing Him to become the head of my life. Since my recovery began and my release from prison, and going through the program of Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge, I now serve the men from a pastoral care position as a Chaplain. I should not be alive, but by His grace, I have survived. <strong>Now I face cancer, but I’m confident that I will be a survivor.</strong> <strong>Surgery is Monday, February 2nd, and I begin my road to recovery to become cancer-free.</strong> My work here on earth is not done. There’s no mountain high enough that I won’t climb, no valley low enough that I won’t experience, to help someone find hope.
