Lightshine Recordings
Faith-based productions for faith-based missions.
Funds raised from studio services go towards equipping foster kids
with music instruments and up to six months of lessons. Music is a
healthy outlet for expression; and, once learned, it can be used to
reduce the risks of unemployment, homelessness, incarceration
& unplanned pregnancies resulting in another child in foster care.

Why It Started
(James 1:27)
Roughly 30,000 foster teens age out of the system, annually. Of those, almost 50% are unemployed, 40% are either homeless or “couch-surfed”, about 30% are without a diploma or GED, and 25% suffer from PTSD*. Lightshine Recordings is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, equipping foster teens with musical instruments and lessons to reduce the risk of unemployment, homelessness and PTSD in their lives and in our communities.
Where It's Going
(Matthew 5:14-15)
The long-term goal, God willing, is to transform into an educational institution, a professional grade recording studio and music/video production center big enough to offer internships and scholarships of its own. Those awarded internships would get hands-on training in music production to include audio engineering (recording, mixing & mastering), photography, videography, icon and album cover design, social media and website management.
