I first met Steve Siler a year ago. He is the adult son of a couple who are members of our church. Steve is an award winning Christian songwriter who has worked with some of the industry’s best known artists.
Five years ago Steve, concerned about using his music and projects to minister to real needs and hurts, started Music for the Soul. Based in Nashville, the ministry uses recordings that combine spoken word, scripture and music to address issues including suicide, breast cancer, and marriages in crisis.
(Here is a link to a newspaper article on Steve and Music for the Soul: http://www.tennessean.com/local/archives/04/02/47312694.shtml?Element_ID=47312694 )
The “Somebody’s Daughter” project addresses the issue of pornography. It is beautiful and is effectively used by pastors and counselors across the country to minister to those caught in porn’s insidious grip.
Recently, Music for the Soul has embarked on a project to make a broadcast quality DVD of “Somebody’s Daughter” that can be used in men’s meetings, conferences, and on television. Steve recently told me his vision for the project is that it be of a quality that could be used on “Oprah” or “Dr. Phil.” To accomplish that, the project will cost $100,000.
Will you prayerfully consider being one of 1000 individuals/churches that will give $100 to help make this project a reality? Consider it an investment in a “salvage and rescue operation” that has the potential to save marriages, families, churches, pastors, and ministries.
You can help in this way:
1. Follow the link above to an article from the Nashville Tennessean about Steve and Music for the Soul.
2. Read the letter below from Steve describing the project and asking for your support.
3. Follow the link to the “Somebody’s Daughter” project in Steve’s letter.
4. Pray, and then,
5. Make the best gift you can.
Also, if you are a pastor, would you consider forwarding this information to other pastors you know who might be willing to help with this important project? Steve would also be happy to answer any questions you might have - feel free to call him at 615-297-8927.
Thanks for taking time to read this and God Bless you richly!
Dear friend,
Music for the Soul has pledged to create a music video/documentary for 2007 based upon Somebody’s Daughter to fight pornography.

Pornography is a $13 billion industry in the US and takes in more money every year than the NFL, NBA, and major league baseball combined. (Source: Family Safe media)
The project will cost roughly $100,000. Less than 7/millionths of 1 percent of the amount pornographers make in America every year!
Music for the Soul is asking for 1,000 churches and/or Christian individuals and/or businesses to give $100 each to help us create a DVD to fight pornography.Gifts will be acknowledged at our website and may be given in honor of someone, ie: in honor of the youth of your church, or your children, or your grandchildren, etc. Additionally, every one who gives will receive a copy of the DVD once it is completed. (Givers can also designate if they wish for someone else to receive their copy)
Please consider asking your church, or church men’s group to make a year end gift. This is a minimal investment that will pay huge dividends. Please reach out to a minimum of ten people. If you have access to networks of churches and/or pastors or are part of a large organization please consider sharing this opportunity with them. It is by unifying as the body of Christ that we can make a difference!
Music for the Soul is a 501 (c) (3) so all gifts by individuals are tax deductible.
