What exactly does
4-Given MTM (Ministry Through Music) do?


We started out ministering the Word of God through speaking, and singing. (More about that in a bit.)

    There are various ways in which 4-Given reaches out in Ministry:

  • One-on-one Biblical Counseling
  • We've helped to build churches in the Philippines
  • We've been ministering in song on the grounds of The Great Passion Play
  • We've visited many who were sick and in need of prayer
  • By encouraging our military by sending cards of encouragement and prayers
  • We work with disadvantaged children and young adults
  • By Sharing God's love, sending Bibles and study materials to India, Philippines, Africa & Iraq
  • By sharing food and clothes with those in need
  • and, by this web site - some have come to salvation, many have come for prayer, and many (from all over the world) are using the Bible Studies and Devotionals offered here.
  • By opening up The KINGShighWAY Refuge Center in our community along with the Howell's who also love God, deeply, and desire to see His work go forth.

Our Statement of Faith:

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God

We believe that there is One God, eternally existent in Three Persons:
  • Father
  • Son
  • Holy Spirit

    • We believe In Jesus virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and His vicarious and atoning death, His resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His return to this earth in power and glory to rule.

    We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask.

    We believe in the fullness of the Person of the Holy Spirit.

    We believe in praying for the sick. We practice praying for the sick and believing God for supernatural, miraculous healing, according to James 4:14-16

    We believe that water baptism is an outward identification of salvation, symbolizing our identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. (we die to our sinful nature and arise to new life in Jesus Christ)

    MISSION STATEMENT

    To minister to the needs of others through:

    • sharing the Word of God - and helping others learn that they CAN apply it to their lives and live victoriously
    • sharing songs that touch the heart, encourage, bring hope, joy and restoration to their lives
    • sharing the Love of Christ through testimony and life examples
    • to enhance "Missions" awareness and the importance of Missions Outreach Programs and the support of Missionaries throughout the world.

    Karin's Personal Statement

    • To be an handmaiden of the Lord. To be used by Him in the work of His Kingdom
    • To allow His Spirit to flow through me to others.
    • To bring the "Hope of Glory" to those I come in contact with.

    Back to the music part . . . many of the songs we do speak of hope, healing, encouraging, joy, it is not too late, you are loved, etc. Many speak to the wounded soul, the one who feels it is too late, or that they just can't do it anymore - they bring faith, hope and restoration to their souls, presenting the message of True Salvation (which, if you do a Word study, is all - encompassing, not just salvation - not that salvation should EVER say "just", but we pray you know what we mean)

    HOW WE GOT STARTED:

    The Lord brought Deb and Karin together in May of 1999, via one of the prayer boards on the Internet. What began with prayers for a newly diagnosed illness became a strong bond of friendship that only God can put between two sisters in Christ!

    They had prayed about combining their ministries (on the Internet) with hopes of actually doing things together in person from time to time. Starting in November 2000, that dream came true with their first combined Women's Retreat. Then in January 2001, the Lord made a way for them to be together in ministry full time. The result, musically, is a bit of contemporary mixed with a bit of southern gospel, along with praise, worship, and old hymns.

    With Deb's Homegoing, Karin Lynn will continue going forward with all aspects of this ministry work. The music will be solo instead of duet, but God WILL receive all the GLORY, HONOR and PRAISE!
