VISIBLE SCHOOL SUFFERS BREAK-IN
From Ken Steorts, Director
On Saturday, November 29th, VISIBLE SCHOOL was the victim of a break-in and the theft of many guitars, amps, and a DJ rig. Having never had this happen before, we were stunned but not shaken. Mostly it feels bad for someone to be in your ministry building taking stuff. Below is a list of the extremely valuable and somewhat unique items stolen from the school in hopes that, in concerted effort with local authorities and friends nationwide, we might see the safe return of much of it. The faculty and students who are preparing and ministering all over the world need these instruments, especially as we are just building a new program to take instruments into needy areas of inner cities and across the world to needy churches.
As Director of Visible School, I pray that we all take this as further opportunity to be again thankful for all God has given us, in terms of relationship with Himself and the community we are in, the things we are blessed with to serve Him, and the talents and desire to pursue His will for our lives. God did and will provide for us to continue strong to serve Him in all we do here at the school. Especially at this time of year, if you know God is calling you to give generously to Visible School and our education mission to equip and empower young artists, technicians, and business people for service to the Church and the world, contact Ken. We both will be blessed as you see your regular or one time gifts go to change the world for Christ.
If you do run across this gear in your city, or gain any information, which might be of help to its recovery, please email Rich Riegel.
