The Pastor Rudy Experience

The threefold, October 24, 2006, release is a cohesive work of art from Pastor Rudy Rasmus of St. John's United Methodist Church in Houston, TX, where he invites one to travel through and experience his ministry, music and inspirational writings.

The Musical Experience: The Pastor Rudy Experience Volume I: Touch, is an exceptional production introducing an exciting variety of styles from various talents including Brian C. Wilson, Ron Summers, Nikki Ross (Kirk Franklin singer) and Soulfruit.

The Ministry: "Bread of Life" has provided meals 7 days a week feeding the Houston, TX downtown homeless community distributing 15,000 lbs of fresh food every week and serving 6,000 meals per month without fail.  It also provides housing assistance, life skills/social services, temporary shelter, drug rehabilitation services, acute health care and mental health services/case management.  Through “Bread of Life”, Pastor Rudy is on a mission to promote self-determination, self-empowerment, and ultimately self-sufficiency by using a community network approach.

The Book: Touch: The Power of Touch in Transforming Lives (October 24, 2006 on-line release), is the story of Rudy’s life, his response to God’s grace in his own life, and his passion to touch the lives of every person with God’s great love.  This is a book of biblical truths and ministry principles, but more than that, it’s the story of God using Rudy and St. John’s to reach into people’s deepest fears and highest hopes—and touch them with God’s transforming love.

•A percentage of book sales will be donated to "Bread Of Life" to continue feeding the homeless.

Also in the works is a Michelle Williams dance re-mix record, Spirit Rising III and long-awaited projects from Ramiyah, and Trin-i-tee 5:7 all under the Spirit Rising Music imprint.

Mathew Knowles, President of MWE best-known for his role as manager of Beyonce and the global phenomenon Destiny's Child, the most successful girl group in the history of pop music, is dedicated to bringing quality entertainment and ministry to the world.
