Latest News, Funding Updates, Songs for Sale

I got an email update from the registrar for Aaron's worship school this evening. I'll show it to you.

It is my pleasure and delight to send this email out to you all. Congratulations. My prayers for you will continue and intensify. Let me know if you have specified prayer needs. Aaron's wife Megan leads an amazing prayer team that will be honored to lift you to the Father.

Here are some details for the next few weeks that you will find helpful.

First month's tuition (September) is due now. Tuition ($1000.00) is due on the 1st of each month, starting in October.

School will start Aug 27. You will be attending the 722 Beach retreat in Destin starting on August 29th with Aaron. Brennan Manning is the guest speaker. To ready your hearts for this event we have ordered you one his books “Ragamuffin Gospel” that should come in tomorrow. I will mail them to you” out of towners”. Daniel and Brett let me know if that works for you as well. Summer reading dudes!!

You will have Thanksgiving week off (Nov. 24-28) and 2 weeks at Christmas (Dec.22-Jan. 5) Aaron will be discussing your possible involvement with our holiday gathering...more on that later.

The school session will end the week of Feb 23

Please feel free to contact me with your questions.



I was overjoyed to get this email today. I'll be honest, I've been very, very, discouraged about the finances for this internship over the last few weeks. If you remember, I was under the impression that we would be required to turn in half of the total tuition up-front. That would be $3,000. I was having a hard time seeing how that was going to happen. Thank God that is not the case. He has been so faithful in being creatively providential for me. This was not the way I thought it could happen, but it is definitely miraculous! Thank you for praying for me.

I almost have the first month's tuition right now, which is great! I am still in need of a lot of help for the following months. I have a feeling I will be walking by faith every single month, but this is no new experience for me. Please continue praying for me and consider any ways you might be able to help...even if it is very little.

That brings me to my other news: My new EP, entitled "You", is up on MySpace. Also, now I have a Snocap Mystore on my myspace page. There, you can buy the songs from "You". This is going to be an influential way for people to support me throughout the time of this internship.

The songs on "You" are worship. They are my heart to Him. My prayer is this
Lord, I want my life to be all for You.



All for You, Jesus.

P.S. you can get them here too.

Official Notice

Hello, Everyone!

I'm very sorry it's been so long since my last blog. There has not been much news to report to you. I only have a few short minutes tonight to write, but I want to let you know a few things.

We have been waiting the final call from Aaron Keyes and the worship school to know for sure, officially, if I have been invited to be a part of the internship for the fall. The last we had heard was that we would know around the first of July. Well...today, Aaron called my cell phone and it went something like this...

*ringtone*
Daniel: Hello?
Aaron: Hey, Daniel? It's Aaron.
Daniel: Hey! Aaron, how are things?
Aaron: Great, man, I'm doing great. How are you?
Daniel: I'm doing good...what can I do for you?
Aaron: Well, I just wanted to call and let you know that we are really excited about spending time with you this fall.
Daniel: That's great! I'm excited about it too.
...etc.

All of that to say that I have official notice now.

FUNDRAISING UPDATE- I have about a thousand dollars raised as of right now. I have a few people who have said they would like to help, but haven't known yet just how much they would be able to help with. I still need to raise a lot of money. As I said before, it's going to cost $6,000 total...and I need to have half of it up front, when we start in August. Please...please, please be in prayer for me. I do not have within me the capabilities to come up with this kind of money. If I get to do this, it will only be because God has orchestrated it and spoken to people's hearts to invest into my life and my ministry. Thank you to those who have already been able to do that. Your expressions of love mean more to me than I can really say tonight.

I am not anxious for anything, but in everything, with prayer and petition, I'm presenting my request to God...


With excitement,
-Daniel Cowan
