Abigail is with Bethany at Crown College

This fall, another of the Hawks Trio has enrolled at The Crown College of the Bible. =)

Abigail Hawks has transferred to Crown College, and is able to room with Bethany.  Which is great, because otherwise they would not get to see each other much!  They have different classes and schedules, and work different jobs, but are happy in what they are doing.  =)

Abigail and Bethany

Please pray for these girls, as they learn and grow in the Lord, serving him in various ministries at Temple Baptist Church.  Abigail is singing in the Crown College choir, and Bethany sings in the church choir.  They are both working on different bus routes, with Bethany still on her same bus route that she has had since her freshman year.  She is also with a group of students that hold a Bible Club each Saturday afternoon for neighborhood kids.  Both girls have other areas in which they serve where ever they are needed.  =)

The girls are for the most part working their own way through college, so pray that the Lord will continue to provide in that area.

A few books on the shelf already... taking advantage to hang some pics on existing nails... =)

From Halfway Around the World

Our families are always amazed at the communications we receive concerning the Hawks Trio's songs.

Amazed, because of how far God has taken their voices around the world through the means of the internet, and the lives that have been touched.

One such story comes from a fellow Christian in Vanuatu.  (Van-WAH-tu)  It is a small country of islands about 1,200 miles east of Australia, and over 8,000 miles from us, here on the east coast of the United States.  

Last month we received an email from Bro. Jesse Obed, a corrections officer in a high-risk prison on one of the Vanuatu islands.  He said he has been listening to The Hawks Trio music online for several years, but he had just found our website and email address.
He has given us permission to share these pictures and what he wrote to us.  Quotes have been slightly edited for clarity.

Several years ago, he received a permanent post as Correctional Principle Officer over a small unit of high-risk detainees.

Bro. Obed wrote,
"This is were I started using your Musice to entertaine detainees and started introducing religious activities inside the prison; as a result the pictures show [the] detainees chang[ed] lives."

He tells about how he first heard of The Hawks Trio...
"One morning I turn on the vehicle radio when travelling to work, I heard a group [that sounded] like a trio [singing] a song which titled It is Well with my Soul. I continued to listen to the song till the end of the song, I tried... to remember the name of the group. I came to office and click on google and I saw the photo of the trio group. I was so excited and also struggled to find the mail address and now I thank God that I'm emailing you guys out there right now and the Hawks trio music is my main music that entertained my unit... detainees love to listen to trio music just because some of the words that [are] used in the songs, I connect them with my words when conducting detainees councelling one [on] one."


And of his mother's influence...
Bro. Obed wrote that he realized his English is not really good, but he "can use a little bit of English because my mum advised me to read the Bible more often in order to learn more about English."


And what he really wants to convey...
"I think the most important part I want you people out there should understand is that you have reached the hearts of some High Risk detainees right at my end here. Now when I connected... the Trio songs and my counsellings togther, we drived a message through the souls of some forgotten and rejected youth in my country. Since 2009, I had a total muster of 32 detainees in my unit, but thank God it was me here being a channel of the good news and hope through the Trio message in songs [that made] the difference.  Some detainees are all changed and reclassified as medium, (had transfer to medium), and some had reclassified as low risk detainees, (and had already transfer down to low risk), participating in all the rehab programs.  Currently I have 10 detainees as a current muster... inside the High Risk Unit.  I will continue this job as I think it is Gods plan that I'm here and it doesn't matter that I never knew you people, and before I got to know you all out there, God had [already done] the connection in our service, Isn't that good news?"

Yes!  It IS good news!!  

Bro. Jesse Obed with his laptop, playing the Hawks trio music while the detainees are outside their cells, seen below.

They are having a surprise celebration, because 2 of the men were able to see their children on this day.  None of the current detainees had seen their children in up to 9 years, depending on how long they had been in.  This was a surprise, and the fathers and the other men could not hold back tears...

A man sees his daughter after 9 years of being in prison.

Another man sees his 2yo son for the first time.
His wife was expecting when he went to the prison.

Bro. Obed wrote, "The purpose of including [these] two kids in my program is to take the focus of detainee on something that is more important...  and it is important to train all our kids in order for them to know and uphold love and respect as they grow up, most importantly for the kids to know all about God."

Acts 16:25-34(KJV)

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

Character-building book series for children

Hello, readers... There have been some new items added to the Resources tab, but I wanted to tell you a little more about one in particular.

In 2014, my friend Mrs. Tabetha Siceloff was burdened to write children's books that taught valuable lessons.  The series is called Little Builders Character Series.  Each book focuses on a particular character-building trait.

"During a time which seems there is an abundance of many things, trying to find a good book for children that is both intriguing and purposeful is like trying to find more hours in a day. As a mother of four I am always seeking for good things that I can use to sow Godly character into my children's lives. It has been said that these years will pass so quickly, and I want to be sure that I have done my part to train them up in the way they should go. Little Builders is a series of fun loving stories designed to teach Biblical character in practical ways. Give the child in your life a gift that will not only bring them joy now but will help equip them for life."

The first book in the series is called The Best Cake Ever, and focuses on the importance of following instructions.






1.  The Best Cake Ever - The Importance of Following Instruction
Is following instructions really that important?  Join Annie as she learns about the importance of following instructions after a cake catastrophe.

2. Farming Fun - The Rewards of Being Responsible
Sam could hardly believe what he was hearing; it was like a dream come true.  Finally he would get to try his hand at farming!  When things don't go exactly as planned, Sam learns that although work isn't always easy, there is satisfaction in being responsible and finishing a job.

Bro. Seth and Tabetha Siceloff started This Generation For Christ in 2012.  Bro. Seth started having youth meetings that were hosted by other churches several months out of the year.
During the summer months at a facility they had access to then, they had free camps for kids in the foster system and in public schools.  A lot of work went into those camps!  Both Bro. Seth and Mrs. Tabetha did a lot of preparation as well as teaching.  They were able to use the facility for other camps such as a "Boot Camp" for young men who are serious about serving the Lord, and for young ladies wanting to serve the Lord.  In 2016, TGFC held their first annual youth conference at their own church.

The young ladies in The Hawks Trio worked at many of these camps, as did their brothers.  In fact, through meeting the Siceloffs  in early 2011 and then beginning to help in their ministry, is how Rebekah met her husband Caleb!  =)

Bro. Siceloff now pastors at Little Elkin Baptist Church.  Mrs. Tabetha home schools their four children.

New Sample Song =)

Many of you may know that Rebekah married Caleb Moore in January, 2014.  So then we decided to also put their CDs on here as well.  Here is a new sample song for one of their CDs.
It's almost July, so I decided to post the National Anthem.  =)
