We believe that you are going to LOVE this new CD! The first song out to radio stations is titled, “What's Going On At the Well.” This song was penned by award-winning songwriter, Daryl Williams (his songs have been recorded by Larnelle Harris, The Gaither Vocal Band, The Cathedrals, The Speer Family, Nelons, Gold City, LuLu Roman, John Starnes, Jimmy Swaggart with Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir and many more).<br>The lyrics to this song are so rich… reminding us that Jesus is the true “Living Water" and that we need to keep our focus on Him and what He's doing.</p><p>To celebrate the new album and song release, we've also designed a campfire-style ceramic mug for those cool fall and winter days ahead of us! Each purchase of a mug will help us with the costs of the CD and will get YOU a free download of the new radio release, “What's Going On at the Well.”</p><p> </p><p>To order, visit <a class="no-pjax" href="https://faithfulcrossings.com/store"><u>Faithful Crossings - Store</u></a> </p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/181130/0a8b9842889d33217524c60b2e7602e2d67b64f8/original/fb-ad-pumpkin.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/181130/ee36122bcf9304c9278ec02fbfbd1429628e428d/original/new-album-coming-soon.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>Faithful Crossingstag:www.faithfulcrossings.com,2005:Post/72422792023-07-14T21:32:38-05:002023-07-14T21:32:38-05:00Tracking at Nashville's Historic Hilltop Studios<p>We recently returned from tracking for our new album and are so excited to share photos and updates with you!

However, you may recall that this time last year, Tammy lost both her brother, David and her brother-in-law, Charles... losses like that make it hard to be so far away, so we're excited to announce that we have been given the opportunity (through Curtis' job) to move back to Alabama, and will be moving at the end of February!</span></p><p><span style="color:rgb(5,5,5);">Our ministry will remain the SAME as always.

<p>During the Christmas season, in the evenings, we'll fill our favorite mugs with hot cocoa, cider, or tea. Then, we gather around the tree- both young and old, and we take turns telling what we are thankful for.</p>
<p>...and you can't cheat and steal someone else's thankfulness- each person has to say something different. Then, after telling what you're thankful for, you get to choose your favorite Christmas song and everyone joins in.</p>
<p>Sometimes the songs are sweet or joyful, sometimes they are silly and we all get a good giggle, but either way, precious memories are made and we're reminded of all the good things that the Lord has done- even in the hard times.</p>
<p>This Christmas, we hope you will be reminded of the goodness of the Lord, as you Celebrate HIM!</p>

We truly believe that lives were changed and hearts were renewed! There was such a good spirit of fellowship among the people and the SPIRIT of the LORD was in that place! We made so many new friends, and spent some very special time with Pastor Lee and his wife Phyllis (dear friends for many years). Plus, Curtis preached his first sermon! </p>
<p>What a time of refreshing for our spirits too! </p>
<p>We will be in REVIVAL at Poplar Baptist Church this coming weekend, September 16, 17, and 18th. We ask that you help us PRAY that hearts will be changed and lives given to Jesus! And, if you are close enough- we'd love to have you come out and be in service with us!</p>

<p>In 2021, we made the decision to begin travelling as a Duo rather than a group/trio/quartet. It wasn't on our radar or in our plans, but God knew it was coming and when we stepped out on faith, He blessed it. The concerts were more than just concerts, they were services where people were more interested in giving their testimonies than going home, and where hope was found in the midst of hopeless situations. </p>
<p>Fast-forward to 2022... Ministry is the focus now, more than ever, for Faithful Crossings. Curtis has surrendered to the call to preach, and we are excited to see what God has in store. We've made some changes based on what we felt God was speaking to our hearts... you won't see us at NQC this year promoting ourselves. As a preacher-friend so wisely said, "God knows our phone number" and we know that He will send us to the places that He has ordained us to go.</p>

Although Faithful Crossings was founded only 15 years ago, Curtis and Tammy have been in ministry together since shortly after the two met, in 1991. <br><br>Faithful Crossings recently made the decision to restructure their ministry to return to a duo after much prayer and Godly counsel. Tammy states, "<em>It was a risky decision, but after the publishing of our book, 'He is Faithful,' we believed God was leading us to refine what we do and to minister in a much more personal way to the people. God has really blessed us since the decision and has opened up many doors and the hearts of so many to receive our ministry.</em>" </p>
<p>For many years, Faithful Crossings has been known for their stories of God's great faithfulness. Many concert-goers requested these stories in the form of a book that they could give to friends and family members that were facing trials. When Tammy and Curtis began to write their stories down, other stories began to pour in from artists, DJ's, friends, and family members until they had over 40 stories of God's faithfulness! Now, there are talks of a second book and they now have a new "Write Your Story" package that encourages others to write down their own stories of God's faithfulness to hand down to younger generations. The new, "Write Your Story" package comes with a special embossed journal, a copy of the, "He is Faithful" book, and a special pen. </p>
<p>"We are so thankful to be ministering together after 30 years are excited to see where God will lead us from here!" Tammy concluded. </p>

There are a lot of people praying this Christmas that God will come through for them, we're sharing this story- just for you: </p>
<p>"GOD JUST SHOWED UP" </p>
<p>God is Faithful. Several years ago, my husband, Dennis, and I lived in Minnesota, but our family all lived in St. Louis. On holidays and special occasions, we would travel south to celebrate and visit. My children had all moved back to St. Louis to start their families, and I was in a depression that only women that have experienced an “empty nest” can truly understand. </p>
<p>I was looking forward to seeing my children and grandchildren, who hold a very special place in my heart. As is typical with pastors of small churches, we were struggling financially and probably shouldn’t have tried to make the trip. It was Christmastime, and I really wanted to be with my family. Driving through Minnesota and Iowa can be especially harrowing in the winter. We had been driving through bitter cold and snow for about six hours when we decided to stop for the night to rest and get off the highway in Cedar Rapids, which is halfway to St. Louis from our home in Minnesota. </p>
<p>After a good night’s sleep, we got up early to continue the trip. It was Christmas Eve, and we really wanted to make it there before evening. It was extremely cold in Iowa, and all kinds of weather records had been broken overnight. I think the wind chill was -35 with a temperature of about -10. We had been driving for about 10 minutes when the car started shaking and coughing, making a horrible noise. We got off at the first exit at a little gas station with an A&W attached to it. The car stopped there and wouldn’t go any further as it spewed out all kinds of stuff from the tailpipe and engine. </p>
<p>Apparently, my husband didn’t check the anti-freeze, and the radiator was cracked. I was beyond frustrated, and I was really upset at my man. While he was trying to pour things into the engine, I was sitting in the extremely cold car, but my anger was so hot that I didn’t even feel the temperature! I started to cry and pray and ask God, “Now what?” We had no extra money to spend on car repairs, let alone funds for another night at the hotel. Since it was Christmas Eve, there was hardly anything open in Cedar Rapids, and no one that would be able to tow us. </p>
<p>Our daughter is married to a very talented man who can fix anything mechanically. He would be the guy you would want with you during a disaster. He can figure out anything, so my husband called him to get advice. My son-in-law, Larry, is a great man but was on the fence about Christianity. We were the only Bible he read. When Dennis told him what was going on, he snidely remarked, “Where is your God now?” </p>
<p>My son in law said he would make a few calls and maybe drive up to get us. While we were waiting and pondering what to do, Dennis remembered that a church member’s parents, Jerry and Gwen, lived in Cedar Rapids. We had met them before (that is another story for another time) so, Dennis called Jerry and explained our situation. Jerry told Dennis that he would call him back, that he had something to do. About 10 minutes later, Jerry called and told us that a tow truck was on its way. He had also rented us a car for a few days, and he was going to have the car repaired! He said he would be there to pick us up and we were going to have lunch with him and Gwen. </p>
<p>Jerry explained to us that, right before Dennis called him, he and Gwen were having a conversation about a bonus that she received from work, and they wanted to bless someone with their abundance. When Dennis called, he and Gwen knew that it was a “God thing,” and they knew that is how they were supposed to spend her bonus. </p>
<p>It has always been so hard for me to accept any gift or help from anyone. When I protested, Jerry told me that I would be taking away the blessing they were receiving for helping us. We were so humbled and thankful for their generosity! This wasn’t a small gift! They put a new engine in our car, paid for towing, and sent us on our way with a rental car (which, by the way, was the same make and model as our car, except newer). </p>
<p>Within two hours, we were on our way to spend Christmas with our family. Dennis called to tell my daughter what had happened. When Larry, her husband, answered the phone. Dennis said to him, “God just showed up.” </p>

In its first month of promotion, it has landed at #14 on the <strong>SGN Scoops Top 20 New Releases</strong> for the month of September! </p>
<p>In a recent comment, Curtis Sumner, the group's co-founder stated, <em>"we're so excited about our song “I Have Tasted And Seen” getting some early traction. Our hope and prayer in this time of uncertainty is that it will remind you of the faithfulness of God and strengthen your faith. No other song lays out the focus of Faithful Crossings' heart and ministry as this one. Thanks to the DJs and SGN Scoops!"</em></p>
<p>Faithful Crossings has had three consecutive charting songs from their current project, "Farther Down the Road- Songs for the Journey" and this would be the 4th consecutive song to chart.

<p>For those of you who have read our book, "He is Faithful," you will remember this story. For those who don't have the book, we wanted to share the story behind our ministry and behind our love for this song. </p>

<p><span class="font_large"><strong style="font-size: 1.4em;">The Last Pack of Crackers </strong></span></p>
<p> The year was 2004, Curtis had been laid off from his job and we found ourselves moving from a small town in rural Alabama to the huge Metropolis of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This move was a big step of faith for us, but we embraced the Steven Curtis Chapman song, “The Great Adventure” as our theme song, and we set out on our own Great Adventure. </p>
<p>We were a young family; our children were just four and nine, and we had very little money, typically living from paycheck to paycheck and some weeks, relying heavily on the overdraft protection of our bank. Then came the layoff. Curtis searched far and wide for another job, but everything fell through, even the ones that he seemed certain to get. Then, a company from Minnesota, that we had not even considered, contacted him and offered him a job. We had felt the “winds of change” blowing for quite some time and had been praying for God to reveal where He wanted us to go, and we knew this was it. </p>
<p>As was usual for us back then, we left Alabama as broke as we could be. We had expected our house to sell and some checks to come in before our move, but, one by one, our plans had fallen through. So, we set out on the long drive to Minnesota trusting in God, praying that we were doing the right thing and counting the days until Curtis’s next paycheck would hit. We had very little money and a lot of expenses, so we stopped at Walmart on the way out of town, and I cried as Curtis returned the bicycle that we had bought Lauren for her fourth birthday. </p>
<p>With our hearts sad but our hopes high, we arrived in Minneapolis. It was the biggest city I had ever seen and somewhat of a culture shock for this southern girl, but we were excited to see what God had in store. I spent the daytime hours looking for a house or apartment while Curtis worked. In the evenings we’d meet back at the hotel and spend time together as a family. Our son had temporarily stayed behind with my dad in Alabama and would join us once the move was complete. That was a blessing for the tough times that were to follow. </p>
<p>That first paycheck took longer than expected to come in; our house still hadn’t sold, and the bills were mounting. We were now out of money, out of food, and out of gas, and almost out of time on our hotel stay. We sat in our minivan, holding the only food we had (a single pack of crackers left over from a salad some time ago). We bowed our heads and prayed for a miracle and asked God to bless that little pack of crackers because that was supper for our daughter that night; Curtis and I would do without. </p>
<p>After praying, I asked Curtis to go back to the ATM to check our balance, just one more time. I had hoped, and we had prayed, but we didn’t feel worthy of such a miracle. Curtis slowly got out of the car and headed toward the ATM; his head hung low- sadness gripped his face. But, when he checked the balance, there was money in the account! I remember seeing him walking back to the car with a spring in his step and tears in his eyes. Once again, God had provided for our needs; the company that had laid Curtis off paid him a bonus, a bonus that we never expected!! Just minutes before, things seemed hopeless, and we didn’t know what we were going to do, but God made a way and instead of just a single pack of crackers, that night, we ate like children of the King! </p>
<p>Through that bonus, God provided enough means to cover the hotel and food until Curtis' first paycheck and, soon afterward, our house in Alabama sold, and there was more than enough money to meet all our needs. Through the years, God has been so faithful to us. It was this experience that led us to choose the name, “Faithful Crossings,” because we realized that day, more than ever before, that God is truly faithful at each and every “crossing” in our lives. </p>
<p>“Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. -1 Peter 5:6-7</p>

<p>It doesn't have to be long; it doesn't even have to be your whole life's testimony... just a single story from your life where times seemed hopeless and then God turned things around. It can be as few as 200 words up to 900 words. </p>
<p>What this world needs is HOPE... Hope in a God that is faithful; no matter what the diagnosis and no matter what the need. Won't you share YOUR story of what HE has done in your life? </p>
<p>This book goes to the publisher at the end of next week. <br>We've already got a LOT of really powerful stories but maybe, just maybe, your story is supposed to be in there too!</p>

They need to be a story about a personal experience you have had (or that you witnessed) where God came through when your situation was hopeless. <br>If you aren't a writer, that's OK. I have editors that can fix grammar, punctuation and even phrasing if there's problems. </p>

Others have written in to tell the group how beautiful and touching the song is to them.</p>
<p>Curtis, the group's tenor vocalist and the lead singer of the song said this song hits really close to home for him because Faithful Crossings was in the studio recording the song when he was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Since that time, his MS has become a platform and a way for Curtis and Faithful Crossings to witness to others who are going through sickness or uncertain times and this song typically accompanies his testimony. </p>
<p>"This song is probably my favorite song on the album," Tammy Sumner stated in a recent interview. "We sing this song in almost every concert and there's not a single concert that goes by without multiple people responding to this song. That's what our ministry is about, telling about God's faithfulness to us through each and every crossroads in our lives. With such a powerful message and a really beautiful soundtrack, we knew that this song was the obvious choice when the time came to send another song to radio."</p>
<p>"God Knows" is the second radio release off of Faithful Crossings' newest project titled "Farther Down the Road- Songs for the Journey." The first radio release off of the album, the title track, "Farther Down the Road" climbed to #13 on the<strong> Singing News Bluegrass Gospel </strong>charts back in December of this past year. The entire project is a top-notch production with award-winning Nashville musicians and industry leader, Les Butler as producer. The song was written by Sue C. Smith and Gina Vera.<br><br>Radio stations can find this new song on the <strong>Family Music Group 2019 Vol 2 Radio Comp Disc</strong>. </p>

However, in recent months, we've found ourselves climbing the Bluegrass Gospel charts! <strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>"Farther Down the Road</strong>," the title track and first release off of our new CD peaked at <strong>#13</strong> on the<strong> Singing News Bluegrass Gospel Charts</strong> for the month of December 2018 and we couldn't feel more blessed and excited!

"<strong>Shepherd of My Soul</strong>." was written by <strong>Lee Black </strong>and you'll hear Curtis & Lauren taking the lead on the verses.

Last month it hit the Singing News Bluegrass Gospel chart at 32 and now, it has risen to #18! This came as a bit of a surprise because our marketing was to Southern Gospel stations rather than Bluegrass Gospel stations since all of our instrumentation is done in a studio setting and not on stage. We have always loved Bluegrass Gospel and most of our music is more on the acoustic/bluegrass side of Southern Gospel so this was exciting to us! </p>
<p>"Farther Down the Road" is the title song and the first release off of our new CD that came out earlier this year. We chose the song for it's lyrics about God's faithfulness on our journey which is the timeless message that our ministry is all about; plus, we loved the opportunity to add a little a-cappella chorus of "Farther Along" on the end; it is such a beloved hymn of yesteryear and means a lot to us.</p>
<p>Farther Down the Road was written by Wendy Ferguson & Gene Ezell; produced by Les Butler of BMG Nashville and has some of Nashville's top musicians playing on this song. </p>
<p>If you haven't heard this song, you can find the music video on our website at <a contents="www.faithfulcrossings.com" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.faithfulcrossings.com">www.faithfulcrossings.com</a> and you can purchase our music (both digital and CD format) on our website's online store.</p>Faithful Crossingstag:www.faithfulcrossings.com,2005:Post/53956972018-08-21T09:57:59-05:002018-10-09T09:19:28-05:00Now you can get our music on iTunes!<p>We live in a digital world... a world where it's becoming more and more prevalent to sell music online or in digital format rather than packaged in a nice little CD case and mailed out.

<p>Our publisher, Les Butler, had this to say about our project:</p>
<p>"I must first thank my friends, The Coffmans, for introducing me to Faithful Crossings. I first heard Faithful Crossings on Facebook as they sang a couple of a capella songs. The blend was very, very good. After some conversations, I agreed to produce their new recording. What a great experience on every level. </p>
<p>These folks are genuine; real! The only thing larger than their immense talents, are their hearts. During the recording process, there were multiple "life" moments that could have easily stopped this recording from being completed; very serious, life moments! They had a laser-like focus on the task at hand. The were bent on finishing this project which would encourage and challenge the saint, while convicting the sinner. </p>
<p>The songs are strong, production is very strong and singing is stronger yet! </p>
<p>Please don't make the mistake of missing out by not listening to this incredible music! </p>
<p>Simply stated, I am immensely proud of this recording! </p>

We realized we hadn't given you an update in quite a while- whew, we've been busy! So here's a few updates...</p>
<p>Since the last time we posted on our news blog, we've gone back into the studio with the awesome Les Butler, Matt Butler & Matt Felts (of Butler Music Group) and finished recording the vocals on our new CD- yay! It was a really great time and we loved working with these talented men on what we believe will be our best CD yet!</p>
<p>Then, last weekend we had a special photo shoot with photographer, David Pickering, for the new CD "Farther Down the Road- Songs for the Journey". </p>

<p>We are in the process of putting these new pictures on the website and getting that CD cover designed! It's an exciting time for us and we hope and pray that when you get this new CD you will feel all of the love that we've put into it. It's going to be filled with songs that will meet you right where you are, in your everyday life. It will encourage you, celebrate with you, and -most of all- point you to THE ONE who will never fail you. If you haven't pre-ordered your copy we sure would appreciate you doing that. It would help us with final costs of the production (which is incredibly expensive) and would ensure that you are one of the first to get your CD!</p>
<p>As always, we are thankful for you and your prayers and for those of you who partner with us and give to our ministry, we say "Thank you with all of our heart"- you enable us to take this message of God's faithfulness to so many. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ!</p>Faithful Crossingstag:www.faithfulcrossings.com,2005:Post/47286352017-05-31T13:07:59-05:002018-02-13T06:54:43-06:00The New T-shirts Are Here!<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/181130/71e62b68b52ec12c876774aa4a18a26675fd3184/small/no-exceptions-tshirt-web.jpg?1496254968" class="size_s justify_center border_" /></p>

Perhaps he healed you when the Doctors gave you no chance, maybe he provided for you when you could not provide for yourself, maybe he restored your marriage or your family, the list goes on and on... Now, have you ever wished there was a way that you could tell more people about what God has done for you? We want YOU to share your story with us and it could be one of the featured stories in this book that will be used to give hope and a testimony of God's faithfulness to those who need it most!<br><br>Here's how to get involved... all you have to do is email us at tammy@faithfulcrossings.com and give us your name, contact information and tell us your story. We want to hear from you so, sit down, remember what God has done in your life, write it down and send it to us and be a blessing to others!<br><br><span class="font_small">If your story is selected for the book, it will have the credit listed as: "Submitted by Joe Smith of Atlanta, GA" (example)</span><br><span class="font_small">The picture above is not a reflection of the book cover, just a title to get your attention; the book title and cover will be revealed closer to book release time!</span><br>Have other questions- feel free to ask!
