From the epic production of Tommee Profitt ’ s The Birth of a King project , to over a dozen other Christian artists own celebrations of one of the most significant events in human history .
We next honor the Smallbone family ’ s legacy in Christian Music for the past 25 years or more . From their early days of promoting Christian concerts in Australia , to their daring move to the U .

Smallbone Family has contributed so much to the landscape of Christian music . They have done it with a humility and a grace that honors the Lord .
Next up inside this issue is a remarkable interview with Phillip Renner . If you are familiar with Rick Renner ’ s ministry and the impact they have had in the former Soviet Union and in the United States , then you may be aware of his son Phillip . Phillip has been a trail blazer in Russia leading worship and training worship teams all over the Soviet bloc countries and beyond . Now Phillip is on a mission here in the U . S . to tear down strongholds in American cities and bring revival to our city streets . He has a big vision and is moving forward in faith to accomplish it .
