About this project
We need $8,000 to complete this project. I am asking you for $4,000 which will actually help me attain this goal. Any pledges in excess to the requested $4,000 will help immensely. This EP will have a total of six songs and an acoustic version of a song. We have 3 songs finished and 3 yet to record. We need need help in the funding, and we have some great prizes for all who get involved!
The money you give to back this project will be for the recording of the remaining songs at $2000 ea. The final mixing/mastering/and packaging will be done by Pilgrim Road Ministries. We are on the road currently throughout the next 7 1/2 months in Europe and The States, but will be ready to jump back into the studio in late April/May 2011. John Mark Painter, my producer, is ready to get me back in to finish this project. This will be my 7th CD to date.
My wife Julie and I are are currently seeking and trusting the Lord as we are being called to go to Northern Iraq to teach school at the Classical School of the Medes in the northern city of Dohuk. I will teach music and guitar and continue my work with the US Military in Europe as well as the Middle East. Julie will teach students as she did there last year before we were married. This record will continue to help support this ministry.

With a passport, a Bible and an ever-growing collection of songs and stories in tow, Dan Meyers may travel lightly, but he’s got all he needs for the journey. Far from a sightseer scribbling home postcards and moving on, Dan is an itinerant evangelist and musical troubadour in the classic sense, traversing the globe, living out a call to encourage the Believer and challenge the seeker along the way.
“Life is ministry,” Dan says. “So whether it’s playing a concert or doing other work, there is plenty of opportunity to share the Truth and gaze upon the face of God. I decided early in my career that I was going to seek out adventure both on the road and off. What I’ve learned is that I don’t have to look very far.”
Indeed, adventure writes the stories of Dan’s life and pens the lyrics of his guitar-driven melodies. Like some of Christian music’s prolific storytellers—Wes King, Carolyn Arends and even the late Rich Mullins—Dan not only engages listeners with an organic, acoustic sound, but most notably with his witty and poignant personal stories of everyday life.
“The story is what is before a song is created or any emotional effect is experienced from a given situation,” Dan explains. “The story is what we live everyday regardless of how mundane an experience may appear to be. The story brings the listener and me together in a world of experience where I can give them a hook and a theme upon which to ruminate.”
Dan’s stories and songs have opened the door to hospitality—and most importantly, ministry—nearly everywhere. He’s worked with the Eskimo people in remote regions of Alaska and tried his hand at commercial fishing in the icy waters of the Upper Cook Inlet. And on the other side of the world, he’s spent seasons with deployed troops, reaching out to soldiers in war-torn locales. To date, Dan has completed 20 tours, performing and ministering in such countries as Russia, Italy, Kosovo, Bosnia, Iceland and Morocco, among numerous other places.
