MYvoice
The Question

Here at Cross Rhythms, we're passionate about 'raising up broadcast sons and daughters as numerous as the stars in the sky'. Never before in history has there been so many broadcast outlets so readily available for young people to utilize. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other social media provide a platform for us to communicate whatever we want to the world. But the question is... what are we communicating?

The Dream

What if young people all over the world began to make a noise that counts for eternity? What if their prayers were set to music, then broadcast on the radio? What if their testimonies were recorded, edited and packaged at radio quality, then given back to them so they could post it onto their facebook page? Imagine what their status comments might be like. What if they gave a spoken invitation to visit their church or youth group, then tweeted a link? And finally, what if all the 'hard work' was done for them?

This is MYvoice

Our vision is to educate, engage and enable young people to make their voices heard through social media. This happens primarily by recording their faith stories (both successes and struggles) and packaging these testimonies as one-minute sound-bytes at radio quality. We call them 'podblasts', complete with music beds, stings, professional voice overs - the lot. Once we've polished them, we'll give the podblast back to the young person, ready for immediate upload.

All the podblasts will go up here on the MYvoice website as well, so that anyone can download the message for use in their youth groups or meetings and get it out to their networks, literally anywhere in the world! In addition, many of the podblasts will feature in our MYvoice radio show on Cross Rhythms, hosted by Chip Kendall.

So, what are you waiting for? Go on, give it a go!

Add MYvoice - Step 1

Record Your Voice

Record yourself speaking for 1 minute or less, using one of the categories below. Start with the words 'My name is ... and this is my voice'. You could use your mobile phone or computer to record; look for an app that allows you to record your voice.

MYstory

Never underestimate the power of your own life stories. No one can tell it like you can. Why? Because YOU are the one who experienced it. You are the ultimate authority on everything to do with you, so don’t feel intimidated. Just be yourself… it’s that easy.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Revelation 12:11 - New King James Version

MYprayer

The funny thing about prayer is that it is incredibly contagious. Simply by listening to a prayer, you’re joining in with that prayer and agreeing with the one doing the praying. When you pray, remember that you may just be the mouthpiece for your entire generation. Pray with faith. Pray with compassion in your heart and fire in your bones.

…The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
James 5:16 - New King James Version

MYword

The Bible is God’s Word. Jesus was God’s Word made flesh. As we recount our favourite Bible stories and verses, they literally come to life – both for us and for those listening. Everyone can identify with certain characters more than others, but nevertheless these are the people God chose to tell his story (history) through, and we can all benefit from using our voices to spread the Word.

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105 - New King James Version

MYsong

There’s no denying the fact that music has a serious impact on all of us. Have you ever thought about what your favourite songs are? Which ones have featured in the soundtrack to your most memorable moments in life so far? Is it just the song itself, or is there added significance because of the one singing it?

God the Sovereign Savior

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said: I will love You, O Lord, my strength.
Psalm 18:1 - New King James Version

MYinvite

Every great party starts with an invitation. Why should it be any different when it comes to God’s Kingdom? Maybe it’s a regular meeting at your church or youth group. Maybe it’s a special event you’re really excited about. Maybe it’s simply an invitation to know Jesus. Whatever the occasion, speak up and invite your friends to join the adventure.

An Invitation to Abundant Life “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.”
Isaiah 55:1- New King James Version (NKJV)
