This week’s story is about an organization founded by musician and worship leader Daniel Bashta. So what kind of a ministry does a musician start? If you’re Daniel Bashta, and your passion is music, media, and missions; then you’d start GoMotion [Worldwide].

So what is GoMotion? It is a ministry passionately on a mission to see a new generation of people worshipping in the Kingdom of God. To reach this generation the group uses the power of music and new media to reach across cultural divides to communicate the love of Christ and stir hearts to worship Him.

Each week Bedouins International posts a story. Maybe it’s one we’ve helped to tell, or a story we hope to tell, or it maybe it’s just a story we think deserves to be told. In any case, we hope you find them inspiring and motivating. Read more stories here.

So we had the pleasure of going out to Worship at Workplay last night to hear our friend Daniel Bashta and many others play their hearts out for Jesus. It was pretty fantastic. We also had the pleasure of setting up a table next to their merch to promote the Banquala, at which he will be speaking.

It still surprises me when someone comes up to me and says, “So I’ve been keeping up with you guys – where are you going next?” My first reaction is “You’ve heard of us?” And it shouldn’t be, I know, but I am still shocked and amazed.

I say that to say that I met a fellow artist at the show, and we started talking about the Banquala and what it really means, so I thought I’d share. First and foremost the Banquala is a call to all artists, both professional and non (because really, when it comes down to it, we are all artists of some kind) to come together and see firsthand how we can make this world a better place for those around us.

The Banquala is a starting point and a connection point. We want to connect artists with the untold stories – we want you to see how what you have and what you do can help someone. We all have something to give. And I think in the deepest part of us all, we really really want to give something.

In the past 2 years we have been able to be a part of something grand – using media to promote good. We are storytellers at heart, and we exist to tell the stories of those without a voice. But there are SO MANY STORIES. You really have no idea. Yet. The Banquala is our invitation to come and be a part of this grand adventure with us – help us tell these stories. Help us give a voice to the unheard. Hope to see you there.

(p.s. It was great talking to you Janell – thanks for keeping up with what we do!)
