At the 2016 Gathering I donated a classical guitar to the Instruments Of Joy program we as group were supporting. Today I received a very nice card and picture of my guitar in the hands of Joseph in Zambia. Joseph looks about 10 yrs old. He plays in the church choir which for me is a greater joy since I have been a minister for 40 yrs, The smile on his face makes me cry with happiness. Thanks Steve for the opportunity to spread joy through music

It is a great feeling. I donated a PRS SE guitar that was given to a man in Haiti. Apparently he walked a mile in the pouring rain to pick it up and plans to lead music in his community. It is incredibly heart warming to hear these stories.

And Steve donated a copy of LMG Guitar to him as well.

Thanks for sharing your great stories. Here are two of my favorites:

Pastor Daniel (Amazon, Brazil) - He was so excited to receive the guitar that it was difficult to get a photo of him.

And this little guy from Chile - rock on little man!

If you are interested in donating an instrument, you can contact either Joshua or Andrea at Instruments of Joy.
