You donated $896 to Messiah's musicians in May (you've now given over $20,000!)

שלום מאזינים יקרים Shalom dear listeners,

This post is a bit delayed, as I was travelling last month and didn’t get a chance to distribute funds. But at last, here it is:

As part of Messiah’s Music Fund, you all have donated $896 to Messiah’s musicians in May. Thank you!

Messiah’s Music Fund is a good work for the Lord that tangibly blesses the Messianic artists on Chavah each month. Thank you for making this good work possible.

Here are the exact figures:

• $615 in monthly donations - from 52 individuals who donate monthly to Messiah’s Music Fund
• $181 in one-time donations from Donald & Bonnie B. and Hadassah H.
• $100 from myself

Since July 2020 when Messiah’s Music Fund began, you fine listeners have donated $20,081 to Messiah’s musicians. What a great work for the Lord! Thank you for blessing Yeshua’s musicians, fine Chavah fans. ♥

As a reminder, we distribute funds to the artists based on the number of times an artist’s songs are played on Chavah. Artists whose songs play more often on Chavah receive more financial support. We distribute funds once they reach a total $10 threshold. Here are the raw numbers for May 2022, ordered by largest payout:
