March 2018 Newsletter Tweet Share this Page: Share Share March 2018 In this issue: Jaime's Corner Guest Message Testimonials Concert Schedule Featured Product JAIME'S CORNER On behalf of my queen Rachelle, our dedicated and hardworking JJMI and Healing Music team, Kim, Evelyn, Glenn, Nelson, Kristi, Elias, Janelle, Caleb and Darlene, as well as our puppy Aria, I want to wish you, your family and loved ones a blessed Spring, and for us all to come closer to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior! We are excited about or Holy Land and Reformation Tours in June-July. Our "In The Footsteps of Jesus By Word and Song" tour is FULL, but there is still room available on our Reformation Tour. Please check out the details in our Featured Product section at the bottom for details and more information. One of the greatest joys of music ministry is the opportunity to meet so many people. In this world we live in, where we hear nothing but bad news nonstop, it encourages me to meet and see people everywhere I go that serve the Lord and are spreading His light and love! I want to share with you a story of a family who has done just that and is continuing to do so despite an unfathomable tragedy in their lives. Eric and Stacie Sayler received the news that no parent should ever receive on November 20, 2016. One of their precious 3 children, Julianna (middle child in the picture below), 8 years old, intelligent, vibrant, happy, on fire for Jesus, and full of life, was diagnosed with DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma). In essence, it's a tumor found in the brain stem (pons). There is no cure or effective treatment, and the median survival rate from diagnosis is 9 months. Basically, the Saylers were told to go home, enjoy their daughter and create some memories. Devastated by the news and diagnosis, the Saylers clung to Jesus. What followed over the next few months was a superhuman effort on behalf of precious Julianna, her siblings and Eric and Stacie, to fight this incurable death sentence. They tried everything available- radiation here in the US, and then they traveled to London and Mexico where new, experimental treatments were being offered. Julianna fought bravely. She knew she was up against, and all along she said "Jesus has me". This became a rallying cry for the family, as well as the thousands of people who prayed for Julianna and her family, as well as supported them. The treatments as well as the advancement of the tumor began to take their toll on Julianna. But Julianna wasn't fazed. She was ready for whatever happened. She knew that Jesus had her! About 300 families go through this tragedy every year in the United States, and about 4,000 families worldwide. Julianna began to record video messages encouraging children and families going through this. She also recorded videos to create awareness about DIPG, and she began to care for and help other children in the clinics where she was. In June of 2017, Julianna's body began to shut down. Losing so much of her body's movement was difficult. But she continued saying "Jesus has me", and "I have to help my DIPG kids". The family started a foundation, to help others. Can you imagine? In the midst of their tragedy, the Saylers began thinking about how to help other families going through this same struggle. On August 18, 2017, 2 days shy of the 9 month diagnosis, Julianna passed away. Her life may have ended prematurely by this terrible tumor, but her legacy will live on forever. Through the non-profit organization "Team Julianna", her family raises funds to help families going through this (the financial impact that families face is significant, to put it mildly), as well as help fund research to find a cure for this 100% deadly disease. Last year, I had a concert at the Saylers' church in Walla Walla, WA. That's when my friend Jimmy and Julie Schultz told me about the plight of the Saylers. And so we discussed the possibility of doing a benefit concert for the Team Julianna foundation. Las weekend, I had the honor and privilege to put on a concert in College Place, WA to help the Sayler family, through their foundation, raise funds to continue their work, and the legacy of Julianna. Hundreds of people came, and we had a blessed time. By God's grace, were were able to raise over $10,000! What an incredible opportunity for me to be able to have a small part in this great legacy! After the concert, I was able to take a picture with the family, donning my fancy Team Julianna cap! Her aunt Stephanie told me, "Julianna said she always wanted to learn to play the violin like Jaime Jorge." I never got to meet Julianna, but when I get to Heaven, I promise she and I will do a duet together, for Jesus, and we'll play on the most beautiful Stradivarius violins ever made! I invite you to pray for the Sayler family, as they continue to fulfill their mission, which is the mission of Jesus, to bring comfort, hope, light and salvation to many. If you would like to learn more about Julianna, her family and foundation, please visit www.teamjulianna.org The foundation is run by volunteers, so 100% of the funds go towards this amazing work. May we desire to make every day count, and may we ask God to give us many opportunities to serve Him! Thank YOU for your continue support. You are the "wind beneath our wings". Sincerely in Christ, Jaime, Rachelle and Aria GUEST MESSAGE I first met Jaime at a special evangelistic series during Easter 2011 that took place in São Paulo, Brazil. We've been friends ever since! I was born in Argentina and studied there until 2002 when I moved to Uruguay and met my future wife- Karina. We both moved to Brazil in 2003 to work for the newly established Nuevo Tiempo TV channel, a part of the Hope Channel Network in South America, where I worked as editor, cameraman, producer and presenter for several TV shows and special series, including the 2011 Easter Series. In 2014, I was asked to administer all social media channels for Nuevo Tiempo. Since then, by the grace of God, we've experienced exponential growth, and we now reach millions of people every week as we share the Good News of Jesus in Spanish. I also have the responsibility of managing other social media channels for the Portuguese-reaching programs of Novo Tempo, where we are also experiencing a tremendous growth. Praise God! For the last couple of years, I've had the joy of working with Jaime to provide social media content and strategies, in order to expand our ministry outreach. I'm excited to see people all over the Americas interacting with our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/jaimejorgmusic) every month! So stay tuned for new content this year! And if you haven't already done so, please like our page! My wonderful wife Kari and I have 2 beautiful daughters: Ivanna and Camila. These girls are truly our treasures, and they call Jaime "tio Jaime", which means "uncle Jaime" (in Portuguese and Spanish). We also have a precious Yorkie named Megan. My passion is working for God and using gospel sharing strategies to reach as many people for His Kingdom as I possibly can. God bless you and thank you for being a part of our ministry family! In Christ, Nelson Wasiuk Jaime, I had the privilege of hearing you here in Corpus Christi. We corresponded briefly. Last night I asked my grandson in Denver if he'd heard of you. He has and loved you just like his grandad. I shared with him that decades ago I was a classmate of FK who produced some of your videos. I listened to the version of "Holy, Holy, Holy" again yesterday. It always makes me dance before the Lord. Thanks for blessing me and my grandson. Baruch Hashem _____ Hello Mr. Extremely talented! Thank you for the wonderful gift of music to our listening ears last night at the Greeley church. I am now listening to one of your CD's. I love violin, but I have not the gift of music. And thank your wife for her message. It truly is a food idea to pray for our love to grow. I have been married 32 years and will continue to pray for us, for your ministry, and message. Thank you. Vivian Pena _____ Hi there, I was listening to Jaime playing "Jesus The Very Thought of Thee". I was blown away, not so much by the amazing talent or skill, which he has, but that the has taken what God gave him and has used it to glorify God instead of himself which he easily could do with that level of talent. He has essentially returned what belongs to Jesus back to Jesus- the source of all talent and creativity. Most artists have become so self-deceived to think that creativity is something inherent in them instead of a gift from an incredible, amazingly loving God, who loves to share! Please renew my commitment for another year. Thanks, PN _____ Dear Jaime and Rachelle. I didn't get a chance to tell you how much I really enjoyed your service today. I felt so wonderful after it was over. I didn't realize you had to leave so soon.

Recently I have had to make major changes in my life that greatly reduce the amount of time available for such projects. After a major rework to bring information up-to-date, future updates may be limited to once every 3 or 4 months, and we have simplified listings to make updating less time consuming. Most current satellite receivers now have great scanning abilities for finding new signals, so we will include polarity and frequency information along with symbol rates for transponders. Those needing detailed info such as exact PIDs are hereby directed to Lyngsat and other sources. Since I cannot directly view any further east than 30 West, you are also directed to Lyngsat and others for current accurate information about those satellites. As a service to owners of the Manhattan RS-1933 satellite receiver, we will continue to make available a Preloaded Satellite, Transponder and Channel update approximately every 3 or 4 months for $25.00. Updates can be ordered and will be transferred via Email attachment.
