April 2007
Dear Friends,
I have organized approximately 80 evangelistic tours over the last 12 years, and no team or 
organization I have worked with has been more humble, bold, effective and creative than Steiger International and No Longer Music in this regard!
My name is David Wilson and I have worked in Turkey for 25 years in pioneer missions and evangelism. One of the ministries I lead is called TACO (Turkey Afriasia Creative Outreach). The goal of TACO is to creatively proclaim the Gospel of Christ to the Muslim world. TACO has expanded to the degree that it now ministers in 5 Muslim countries and has reached thousands of Muslims with the Gospel. It is also used to plant and grow churches. I am very encouraged by how the Lord is leading and empowering this work. I am trying to give you the context for who I am so that my observations concerning No Longer Music will carry their proper weight.
I am writing this letter to endorse the work of Steiger International and of No Longer Music as a key ministry in their work with TACO in the Muslim World. I see their work and their message as something that was effective in working with us in Turkey last year and that can be effective over the long haul in the Muslim World, especially among the millions of youth who have 
been disillusioned and left with empty souls as they look West because of the spiritual bankruptcy of Islam.
Western art forms have a special inroad to impact these millions of youth. I feel Steiger International can have a huge impact not only by coming on a one-off tour with TACO, but even more so by having a long term presence in the Muslim world. We are hoping to have a longer term relationship with Steiger through continued annual touring, and to help them have a long term presence in the Muslim world.
Sincerely, David Wilson (Istanbul, Turkey)
God is angry that so many in the Muslim world never have an opportunity to hear that Jesus loves them. I have felt God's broken heart when I have traveled to these countries, and that’s why I have a strong conviction that God wants Steiger to expand its efforts into the Muslim world. I believe that's why God has led David Wilson and me together. I am humbled to work with this dedicated servant of God and I have a lot to learn from him on how to bring Jesus into this part of the world.
Please pray that God's broken heart is poured out and that hundreds find Jesus when we proclaim the cross to those who have only heard lies. The dates for the evangelistic tour are below:
June 28-30 |
Cornerstone Music Festival, USA
I will be giving a seminar at the festival on how to reach radical, urban youth. Our band will also play on Friday night. Although this is a Christian festival, I still expect many to come to Jesus for the first time at our concert. |
July 24-30 |
Lebanon
This is not definite, as we are still waiting for final confirmation from our promoter. |
Aug 1-6 |
Kyrgyzstan
This is a Muslim country between Kazakhstan and China. I expect hundreds to find Jesus while we are there. |
Aug 7-15 |
Turkey
This is a very tough country, but I have faith that God's power will touch many. We are praying about establishing a permanent Steiger work in Istanbul in the future, to partner with David Wilson and TACO. |
Aug 17-21 |
Iceland
Most people in Iceland have never heard about Jesus; it is one of the most un-reached countries in the world. I have been praying about going there for years, so I am really excited that God has opened this door. I anticipate a long term Steiger presence there in the future. |
Aug 24 |
Berlin, Germany
We are planning on doing a big outdoor concert on the Alexander Platz in East Berlin. We will be working with Teen Challenge and Steiger Germany. |
|
* (The Croatia tour has been postponed until next year so that the church leaders we are working with there can be better prepared.) |
Please pray about financially supporting this tour, which would help us bring the love of Jesus into these difficult and un-reached countries. We only need about 29,000 US dollars to cover the rest of the evangelistic tour costs. Any amount you could give would really help!
Thank you for your support and prayers!
For the lost,
David & Jodi Pierce

Prayer Needs
Pray for the Radical Discipleship Conference on the Kapiti Coast in New Zealand. It starts the morning of the April 22nd and finishes on the 26th. If you hurry you still can register! Jodi and I will be teaching on how to trust God for the extraordinary life He calls you to, and how to bring Jesus into secular places.
Pray for sponsors for the NO LONGER MUSIC evangelistic tour in August.
Pray for our teams scattered around the world—that they can boldly preach the Gospel, and for God's power to go before them.
