Hangtown Prophets

About Me

Colossians 1:13,14 "For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." In 2005 I started writing songs that I hoped and prayed would bring glory to the Lord. They are all original songs that tell of the change that has happened in my life since turning my life over to Jesus Christ. My prayer is that the Lord will use these songs to reach others with the good news about Jesus. Jeff Norman and I have a street ministry where we play these songs on acoustic guitars downtown in Placerville. It has been an incredible blessing so far. That is where the name Hangtown Prophets comes from. Placerville used to be known as "old Hangtown." A prophet is someone who brings a message from the Lord. We do not claim to bring any new revelation from God, but we do proclaim the radical message of hope, love and truth found in His word. Our CD is finally complete, and we have finally found the guitar player and drummer we have been searching for! It has 15 original songs, with all profits going to Love In Action Asia Ministries! www.loveinactionasia.com. After playing in several Metal bands for around 16 years I had grown tired of the dark messages I was writing. I knew the truth about Jesus Christ but I had wandered far away from Him and it led me into a lifestyle that was filled with alcohol and drug use. In 2000 I turned my life over to Jesus. He has delivered me from the bondage of those things, and I know I will be with Him in Heaven when I die. He has given us hope and a new life! He gives eternal life to all who repent of their sin and place their trust in Him. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life" It says in Romans 3:23 that "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." God is holy and perfect and God cannot have fellowship with sinful man. If we die without forgiveness of our sins we will be eternally separated from God in Hell. John 14:6 "Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross and to take the punishment we deserve, so that we could have a personal relationship with Him. All who call on His name and ask for forgiveness for their sins will be born again and recieve eternal life! They will be made right with God. We are all so thankful to be able to play music for the Lord now! The songs on this cd are a wide variety of musical styles. I hope you find a song that speaks to your heart. Thanks for taking the time to listen and read! Chris Disclaimer: We would like this page to be available to anyone who is interested in the music and the message.

Influences: All Profits go to Love In Action Asia.All profits from the sale of Hangtown Prophets music will go to Love in Action Asia. A ministry that is close to our hearts. Several people that we know from U-turn for Christ are now serving in Thailand and have helped plant Calvary Chapel Ban Nam Khem, and are now serving as missionaries. Please visit the website to learn more about this awesome ministry! Thanks for your support! Chris and Jeff www.loveinactionasia.comThe ministry of Love in Action Asia was formed as they heard the call to start a work in Thailand, amongst the Buddhist people. Just six months into the work there, the December 2004 tsunami brought devastation to South East Asia. Their desire was to bring hope and aid to Thailand's coastal villages in the wake of the disaster. Their team was on the scene just days after the wave hit.Their goal was not only to bring them aid and then return to business as usual, but to stay, living among the people in order to share the love and the good news of Christ Jesus. The tsunami opened an unprecedented door for the gospel, and through the devastation, God birthed a new work -- Calvary Chapel Ban Nam Khem!Their service in Thailand has brought into focus the need on several fronts -- first for the lost of Thailand, and also for the needs of Thailand's neighboring country, Burma. The hope and livelihood of the Burmese and its ethnic minority have been crushed by a brutal military regime for nearly 60 years. Thailand has absorbed hundreds of thousands of Burma's refugees, and most of those refugees are comprised of Burma's largest ethnic minority, the Karen. Love in Action has heard this call, too; and they are committed to help in whatever way they can.At www.loveinactionasia.com they hope to introduce you to Love in Action Asia's ministries, the faithful workers and the precious souls that they live among. Since the humble beginning until now, God has risen up ministries in Northern and Southern Thailand, the Thai/Burma border and they are busy with on-going mission efforts deep inside Eastern Burma also known as Kawthoolei.Their purpose is found in Proverbs 31:8, "Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy."Please help them bring them the hope that is eternal. Contact them today! Love in Action Asia www.loveinactionasia.com
