Lightshine Recordings Delivers Brass Tacks
We're not allowed to photograph their precious faces for safety reasons, so we get creative in our posts. I'm the wanna-be in front; she's the real deal about to whale on that thing, making it look easy to sound so good. Thanks to all the donors! You made it possible for my nonprofit to deliver a beautiful saxophone to a beautiful girl at one of the local shelters. She's beaming from ear to ear and can't wait to share the music she knows. So blessed! DONATE NOW to help equip the next future music makers of the world!

Lightshine Helps Launch Expanded Music Program at Boysville
Lightshine delivered over $6000 in music instruments and equipment to Boysville , January 2024. We didn’t have to look far for a music teacher to provide the kids with lessons. Matt Billman has been volunteering for a few years already. Since Lightshine pays for lessons, too, we were able to compensate him for his valuable time.
Thank You God for sending people of Your same Spirit to edify and encourage!
