hey guys it's Jonathan here from set sail and today I just wanted to take a
couple of minutes to explain what set sail actually is and how you guys can be
a part of it. We believe that art is one of the most powerful languages and most
effective ways of communicating something in today's world and we can
see a renaissance happening in the church right now of artists and creators
realizing the potential that they have to proclaim the message of Jesus through
the things that they create whether that's music, design, film, photography, any
kind of creative expression. We live in such a connected world right now that
art can have a profound impact on a global scale and culture is shaped by
its creators. And that's why at Set Sail we're passionate about exploring that
space where faith meets art and we believe that together with other
creators we can see a new missions movement proclaiming the message of
Jesus through the things that we create. And at Set Sail we spend a lot of time
doing exactly that. Whether it's writing songs as Rivers & Robots, traveling on
tours and missions trips around the world to share the gospel, making videos,
designing artwork - we want to create beautiful things that point people to
Jesus. But one of our main aims with Set Sail is to equip, encourage and inspire
other artists and creators. Yes, we can do our own projects but if this is really
going to be a global movement we need to take the time to invest in each other.
Some of the ways we do that include our YouTube channel, where we share our
journey as we go and also give some practical tips of the things that we're
learning along the way. We also look to give a platform to artists through our
website our, Instagram account, our playlists and locally at our monthly
worship nights called 'Gather', where we bring in different artists each month
and share their songs with people right in the heart of Manchester, and we've
seen people become Christians and getting connected to churches through
these events which is amazing. Another thing we're starting to do is to run
workshops in some of the cities that we go to on tour so that we can gather
the creators together and help encourage them and invest in those guys so that
they can continue to have long-term impact in their cities. Now over the last
few years of running Set Sail we've seen so many amazing testimonies come through.
I met a girl recently on tour who came and told me that she always felt God was
calling her to be an artist but had kind of suppressed that because she felt like it
wasn't valued by the people around her and it was through coming across Set
Sail and watching our videos and seeing our website that she actually felt
inspired to start creating again and that's exactly the reason we do this
kind of thing. We also get people emailing the band quite regularly now to
tell us that our music's genuinely had an impact in their life helping their walk
with God and for some people it's even played a role in them coming to faith
which just blows us away every time.
And these are just some
of the things that can happen when we step out and use this creativity that
God's given us. Now people often ask me if there are ways that they can support
what we're doing and help us to keep going and the answer to that is yes. So
three years ago myself and Nathan from Rivers & Robots decided to quit our
jobs and go full-time running this thing called Set Sail and we decided to live
as missionaries which means that all the money we make through the band whether
that's in album sales tour in merchandise - we invested all of that
into Set Sail to help us to create more music and run gather events and make
videos and do missions trips, and we decided to raise financial support like
missionaries to be able to actually live and sustain ourselves to do this
full-time. And that's still the way that we work now we actually have a team of
supporters who give financially to help us run this thing and pursue this vision.
We send out regular updates to these guys to let them know what we've been
doing each month and things that they can be praying for us moving forward and
as cliche as it sounds, we literally couldn't do what we do without our
support team, and I know some of them will be watching this video as well so
if that's you - thank you! This is something we haven't really spoken about
much in our videos but today we wanted to extend that invitation to you guys
and say if this is something that you're passionate about and you want to help us
to sustain this thing, we'd love you to be a part of our support team. To do that
all you need to do is go to the support page on our website timetosetsail.com/support
and there's a forum on there where you can give a
donation whether it's a one-off gift or a monthly donation and even if it's just
a little bit honestly it's such a big help to us as a team particularly at the
moment because we're actually looking to expand the team and Caleb our drummer is
hoping to join us full-time once he's finished his music course and also our
new guitarist Phillip Shibata who's going to be moving over with his wife
and daughter to come and join the team which is amazing and we'd love to be
able to increase our support, so that we can help them in that transition. For a
long time now it's been mostly me and Nathan running this thing which has been
pretty crazy to be honest and we're really looking forward to having a few
more hands on deck and expanding the team so that we can pursue this vision
of making Jesus known through creative worship. If you're not able to support us
financially at the moment that's totally fine you can also sign up for the prayer
email on the same support page and you'll get the monthly update that we
send out to our supporters so you can be knowing what to pray for us for and still
feel a part of what's going on. And of course, we still want everything that we
create to be freely available online and through our channel and we're going to
continue doing that and this is just an opportunity if you want to help us
sustain this thing full-time. Thank you so much for listening and if you do
want to get involved don't forget, timetosetsail.com/support
and we'll see you soon in another video
