GEMS Girls’ Clubs is a place for girls to belong and be loved. At a club, girls in first through eighth grade are welcomed into a vibrant community of mentors and peers who genuinely care about them. GEMS is an exciting, safe environment for girls to learn about God, His Word, and His world. Girls in a club are organized into small groups with one leader for every six to eight girls. Together, they will develop a lasting relationship with Jesus, each other, and their mentors. They’ll learn how to apply the Bible to their everyday life and challenges, participate in service projects, sing, and make meaningful crafts that encourage others. Clubs are located throughout the US and Canada and in 15 other countries! Cindy Bultema is passionate about reaching girls and women with the life-changing message of Jesus. http://gemsgc.org

Estella Kirk
In a world of questions, Estella Kirk has found an answer. From a young age, Estella pursued dreams of acting, performing, and singing in hopes of one day becoming the next pop star. As she chased this dream, her desires shifted, and when the question came of who she was going to do all of this for, her only answer was God. It was around this time that Estella began working with Kira Fontana of Kingdom Sound and together they began writing her first songs. With an EP to be released in 2020, she set out to finalize the fifth and final song. As they put the finishing touches on the song, Estella and Kira felt it wasn’t right for the season they were in. As the virus spread around the world, so did more questions. For Estella and Kira, they had only one answer. If there is someone to go to for truth, security, and peace in a time of chaos, it is the Lord. After two days of prayer and writing, a new song emerged that felt exactly right. “Shelter In The Storm”, produced by Josh “Igloo” Monroy, is Estella Kirk’s first single focusing on the hope we have even in the midst of uncertainty. This song reminds us that nothing is shocking to God. As the Covid-19 virus continues to move across our planet, so does fear. But our God is not afraid. He is in control. As headlines evoke panic, this song encourages us to “be still” knowing He is not panicked. As the storms of uncertainty sweep across our communities, we can be confident that God is our shelter and He is worth running to. http://estellakirkmusic.com

Kira Fontana
Over the past decade working at the highest levels of the music industry as a celebrity vocal coach in Los Angeles, I was absolutely saturated in pop music. I became increasingly disturbed at the messages in the vast majority of songs... lyrics dedicated almost exclusively to promoting alcohol and drug abuse, meaningless sex, vanity, violence, and greed. It was shocking to hear song after song encouraging people to be self-destructive. I felt God showing me how harmful this is to our youth and to our society as a whole. I felt a strong calling to leave vocal coaching and the darkness of the traditional music industry to do my part to change it. God shifted my focus to creating music as a singer-songwriter and producer, and developing gifted young artists who are real people, writing and performing music that tells the truth instead of lies. Music that glorifies God and points people to the One who made them and loves them. Music that uplifts and inspires. Music that is a light in the darkness. That vision became KINGDOM SOUND. http://kirafontana.net http://kingdomsound.net
