Our old drum set complete with broken legs, separated bass pedal, crusty snare drum, and dog-eared cymbals.
We really want to do more here in the Philippines, but we are really limited by our equipment. It is our vision to have a whole sound system and full band set up to use both at the Refuge and to take on outreaches throughout Mindanao. Unfortunately, we don’t even have the basics to operate now. We have two immediate needs.
First, we need to buy a drum set for the Refuge. The one we have been using for years is literally falling apart. The bass pedal is separated and the cymbals are dog-eared, but most of all, the legs on the bass drum have broken to the point that it wants to roll over in the middle of a concert.
It will cost about $300 for a basic drum set. I might be able to get a discounted one for as low at $250, but does not have all the cymbals. Please pray for us to get the money we need to buy this much-needed tool for our music based ministry.
Secondly, we need a power amplifier to drive our borrowed speakers. The one we are using now is burned out on one side. We are basically using only one channel to power four speakers (two house speakers and two monitors) in mono. It really affects the sound quality. The musicians can barely hear themselves play or sing on the stage. The deepest discount I can find for a power amplifier suitable for our sound system is $400.
A new drum set like this will cost about 300 dollars.
Will you please consider helping us buy these much-needed ministry tools? These are for us to reach the lost and refresh believers. We are at the point where we can’t operate without buying these items. Thank you in advance for your support.
