Beloved;

"What a privilege it is to introduce you to the Greater New York Music Forces. The young people of the Youth Band, Youth Chorus and Timbrels, are charged with the mission of communicating the Gospel of Jesus Christ through their lives and their talent. And what talented young people they are! Throughout Scripture, the musicians were called to a very important part of God's plan. They were used in worship, in large celebrations and even in battle. The music forces of the Salvation Army carry out that same work by being part of worship gatherings and leading major celebrations. But our most important work is to be in the lead of the spiritual battle. We hope that our testimony and our music will inspire listeners to turn to Jesus Christ as Saviour, to help believers to fight against evil and to be in the lead in helping the world be won to Christ.

May you be blessed by the band, chorus and timbrels

Captain Kevin Stoops
