Apology...

Today a lady left a comment on the website saying she had emailed for sheet music...  I searched our email for her name and found that her email had been sent to Spam!  So I checked the Spam (492 emails, lol) and found a total of 6 emails that were to the Trio, that had gone to Spam!  

And because our email only retains the last 30 days' worth of emails in Spam, I have no idea how many others may have emailed prior that never received a reply. =\

If you have emailed us and never received a reply, I greatly apologize, and please do email again.  We reply to each and every email, unless of course, it is obviously real spam.  =D
I will definitely keep check to catch any more like this!

Thank you for your patience, and may God bless you.

We Do Ship Internationally!

We have had several emails lately asking if we ship internationally... yes, we do!
We have mailed CDs to Canada, England, Australia, France, New Zealand, Japan, Ireland, the Philippines, and Vanuatu!
As long as the post office says we can ship there, we will do it.  =)

I would like to list the shipping costs here, but I am unable to know ahead of time, as the post office has told us it can depend on to which area of a country it will be going.  But if you email us your address and what CDs you are interested in, we can give you a quote!  =)

I do know that for international shipping, the price goes up after 8 oz, so if your package weighs under 8 oz, whether 1 CD or 2 CDs, the shipping charge should stay the same.

Thank you!

Assembling several orders...  =)

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.

►To purchase, email Preacherseth.s@gmail.com.


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.

Fall, 2019

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.  =)

Pray for Bethany during her four-month mission trip to the United Kingdom

Bethany will be leaving in January, soon after the regular semester starts.
She and 11 other students will be staying in a large home with the host pastor and his wife, as well as another couple who works with the students.
The students will continue doing certain classes while in England on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Other classes will be covered by the mission work they will be doing, and they will receive credit just as if they had stayed here to do the classes.
They will be divided into several groups, and every week after Thursday classes, each group will be traveling to work with a specific church during their four-month stay.

Here is a copy of her prayer letter.

To be added to her email updates, or if you would like a copy of this prayer letter, let us know at thehawkstrio@gmail.com
Please keep her in your prayers!  Thank you.

Abigail is Teaching K4

Abigail has just started teaching K4 at a local Christian school.  She has been teaching for nearly a month now and loves every minute of it!  She has a total of eight students in her class. 

Getting Ready

First Day

Her students have been learning about how God created the earth, and have memorized Genesis 1:1 and John 1:3.
After they were taught the pledges, Abigail discussed with them what a president is.  And even though it isn't part of the curriculum, they have studied about the first six presidents and keep wanting to learn more!
All the children have little flags, but when they walk outside and see the big flags flying outside the school, they get excited and say, "There's the American flag!  There's the Christian flag!"
They have reviewed shapes and colors, as well as working on manners, beginning phonics, numbers, and other things.
The theme of her classroom is owls, so Abigail helped them make owl crafts.  Each child colored their owl and added feathers and googly eyes.
Abigail said that she has already seen a lot of improvement in their penmanship and memorization skills.  They seem to be learning at a good rate and she cannot wait to teach them to read sight words.
Please pray for her as she takes on this new challenge as a teacher!

Genesis 1:1
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

John 1:3
"All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made."

Where is The Hawks Trio now??

4th of July cookout

As many of you know, Rebekah was married January 4, 2014, and she and her husband Caleb Moore have a 7 month old baby girl. heart emoticon
They serve in their church, as well as with Caleb's family with singing and piano. They help with the This Generation for Christ summer camps, and a couple of weeks ago, their church helped with a camp in Asheboro, NC.

Bethany, Rebekah's sister, started college at The Crown College of The Bible in Tennessee this past fall and is touring with one of their singing groups this summer. We got to see her last week when they were at Gospel Light's Youth Conference (Walkertown, NC), and she was able to come to our fourth of July cookout! (see pic) smile emoticonShe will be home for only 1 week next month before going back.

Abigail, Rebekah and Bethany's cousin, also helps with the TGFC summer camps, and serves in her church with singing and piano, as well as serving with their youth group. (Their youth have done quite a few things that I plan to share with you soon!) She is attending Northwood Baptist College, and will be teaching 4 year old Kindergarten this fall!

But we would like to share where they are this week!!

Bethany and her tour group are back at Crown this week, at Youth Congress.
You can watch live stream here: http://templebaptistchurch.com/live/
(You may see her group sing!) #CrownMidAtlanticTrio
The evening services are live streamed at 7:00, and according to the schedule, it looks like the Combined Sessions are at 10:00 am. I'm not sure if they will be live streamed. It might be good to check at 9:00 am too to see if anything is streaming then.

Abigail is with her youth group and three of her brothers at Bro. Mark Stroud's camp, at Wahoo Baptist Church, in Murrayville, GA.  I'm not sure of the morning schedule, but you can watch live stream at 7:30 each night here: http://liveeventstream.us/ We tuned in last night at almost 9:00 pm, thinking the service might be almost done, but a (second?) preacher was just starting and it was really good!

Rebekah and Caleb usually go to Crown as well, but were unable to attend this year. But Tuesday night, they allowed some young people to stay overnight in their home so that they would not have as far to travel to catch their ride up to Crown. smile emoticon

Although they aren't able to sing together unless Bethany is home, they still have CDs available for purchase, and you can hear most of the songs that are on their CDs on YouTube.  The Hawks Trio Playlist.

Bethany's Graduation

Bethany graduated May 4, 2015, from the Foundation for Christian Life Program, a one-year  Bible course, at The Crown College of The Bible in Powell, Tennessee. She received a certificate for this  course that includes the main Bible classes for all four years of any course taken at the college.  She will complete her fourth year in 2018.

The Servant's Towel -- Each Crown College graduate is presented with a towel embroidered with John 13:12-17.  The embroidered towel symbolizes the principle of biblical leadership.  Verses fourteen and fifteen of John chapter thirteen give us the words of our Lord, "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought  to wash one another's feet.  For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." 

Bethany's family - Callie Anne is 5 months old here.  =)  

Bethany got to enjoy singing with the Crown College Choir this year.  You can see them sing at the graduation.  She is actually kind of behind the piano, but when shown from the side, her head can be seen a few times behind a plant, lol. She can be seen at the beginning of the second song at 1:35:20.  (But the first song is my favorite.)

They made a new CD this year, and both the songs sung at the graduation are on the CD.

Bethany is touring this summer with a singing group from the college.
They will be travelling to 62 churches in the general Mid-Atlantic area.

  All the groups are pictured here with Pastor and Mrs. Sexton.

With their sweet chaperones, and the pastor and his wife at the church of their first stop.  

Hear them sing "Jesus Passed By My Way"
(I believe this is the first time they sang together in public!)

Hear them sing "How Deep the Father's Love"

I want to encourage you to continue watching the video.  The other tour groups also sing, and four young men preached who graduated this year.  One is a young man from Nepal, who, even before the first earthquake (4/25/15), had already gotten a group together to go minister there this summer.  We are praying that something good will come of this tragedy, and that people will to want to turn to God.
They have not arrived at Nepal at this time, as a second earthquake (5/12/15) has now caused the airports there to be closed.  He reported that his siblings there are all safe (his parents are here still), but many other loved ones have suffered and/or lost family members.

 Please be in prayer for the tour groups, the Nepal mission group and the people of Nepal, and others who are going out this year to continue to minister and disciple as they have been taught and have been doing these past years in college.

Please pray for Bethany this summer and during her next 3 years of college!!
And for Mom and Dad.  =)


Update: A video of them singing at the God Bless America Crusade after they had been singing together all summer! Much improved!  The singing, that is - not the video quality!  We videoed it off the computer screen with my phone, lol.  =)
Read about it here.
