To our special friends of Richard Kiser Music Ministries;
Well it is Halloween night and one more night to go before we get home from our tour out west. It has been an awesome two months on the road. Esther and I have traveled over four thousand miles and performed over 30 concerts in the past eight weeks. God has so greatly blessed our ministry during this time. Even though the offerings were slightly down at times, our needs were met and we were able to touch a number of lives. One of the more memorable events of the tour was when I played and spoke to over 100 teens at Skyline High School, in Longmont Co. I am still getting facebook comments, and emails from some of those teens commenting on how their lives were changed. Thanks to our Heavenly Father for that. Then there was a small cowboy church in Kansas where we played for a Sunday morning service. One man walked up to me after the service and he was crying so much he could hardly talk. He did finally express that my music and testimony had changed his life and he would never be the same. I am always mindful however that it is God and not me that changes lives. I was merely the instrument at that time. There were many other times during the tour that we shared special times of ministry to children as well as adults.
Last week we were in Branson where we attended the Country Gospel Music Assn. convention. I had an opportunity one night to play at country singer Barbara Fairchild’s
Café and even accompany her as she sang some gospel songs. The convention was the biggest ever in attendance. At the conclusion of the convention on awards night, I was shocked and surprised to be inducted into the Country Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
Wow, what an honor to be named among legends such as Andy Griffith, Loretta Lynn, Barbara Fairchild, just to name a few. I was the 12th inductee. It was an exciting time for Esther and me.
As far as the heart issues, I have been feeling great and still trying to watch my diet and walk as many days as I can to keep this heart working. In three weeks I will have another stress test to see how things are progressing. I feel good about the outcome at this point.
In closing, please keep us in your prayers as we go forward and endeavor to expand our ministry and territory. Esther and I are open to go where God leads and we are excited to see what is in store for us. We are in the process of setting up our ministry as a 501c3, non profit status, in hopes of acquiring more financial support so we can continue to minister in the schools and other venues where there is no compensation. We also plan to continue to minister on a love offering basis in the smaller churches that cannot afford to pay the large flat rates charged by some of the Christian Artists. It is your support and prayers that makes it possible. Please continue to hold us up in prayer.
IN HIS HANDS….
Ricahrd and Esther Kiser

Dear praying family,
Please pray on behalf of Linda McAndrew who has been taken to Upper Chesapeake E.R. this morning with chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and an accelerated heart rate. They are running tests on her now. We will keep you abreast of developments as we receive them.

Love us in the office!
A great event to raise money for Shrewsbury Christian Academy….
