Shalom friends,
Messiah’s Music Fund got started back in June when you all donated $310 to Messiah’s musicians on Chavah.
As July comes to a close, I’m glad to report that monthly donations increased: You donated $363 to Messiah’s Music Fund in July. 💖 Thank you, Chavah listeners!
In the 2 months since we created this fund, together we’ve raised $673 for Messiah’s musicians. “Do not despise small beginnings, for the Lord delights to see the work begin.” What a tangible blessing for the artists on Chavah!
As a reminder, how much we send to each artist is a simple formula:
total donations * artist plays / total plays
In a nutshell, the more an artist’s songs play on Chavah, the larger the donation the artist will receive. Want to increase that amount? Donate to Messiah’s Music Fund and up-vote his or her music on Chavah, as higher-ranked songs play more often.
Here are the raw figures for July’s disbursement from Messiah’s Music Fund:
