OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER - JANUARY 2012
Dear Friends,
I cannot believe it is January of 2012. It seems just like the other day I was moving from Nashville to Boise (in June 2010) to finalize details for my wedding. Wow - how time does fly by!!!!! However, I have so enjoyed this adventure called life. As I sit here and write this newsletter, we are preparing for 5-10 inches of snow in the Boise area!!! I guess this southern boy will not be out driving in it! I probably should go and get a lot of bread and milk (they do not do that out here, HA! HA!)
I am so thankful that I got to end 2011 with some wonderful ministry opportunities. The Christmas concerts (which I do miss doing) started at the end of November in Twin Falls, Idaho. I always love going back to First Methodist of Twin Falls. Not only are the people so loving and supportive, but the sanctuary is so beautiful with an historic pipe organ and an amazing concert grand piano that was rebuilt from many many years ago. On the drive to Twin Falls, you can see some of the most beautiful country side as well as many canyons, some that look like the Grand Canyon to this country boy! After Twin Falls, it was on to Gastonia, NC (Charlotte, NC Area) where Jim Westmoreland and his family make me feel like I am at home. It was so much fun to get to hang out with Jim's family where I am called the OTHER son, or the brother from another mother, HA! HA! To share that Christmas concert with the First Methodist Family was truly a blessing to my soul.
After gaining twenty pounds from Momma Barbara's cooking, it was time to head to Nampa, Idaho. I want to thank Lisa and John of the staff at First Methodist for all their hard work in making that Sunday a wonderful worship experience. I look forward to being back with them very soon!!! Even though it is nice to do concerts near home at Christmas, it was time to WRAP UP the season concerts in Bonita Springs, FL. I performed at First Presbyterian Concert Series a year or so ago and was thrilled to end the Christmas tour at this great venue. Of course with flying as much as I do, there are bound to be travel troubles! I arrived in Ft Myers airport at 11 p.m. on Friday night with no luggage and that is after having to fly all over the country and change airlines after my original flights were cancelled!! Saturday at 3:00 p.m., I stood in front of 1,500 people in ragged jeans and shirt that I had on since Friday at 5 a.m.! That was an experience that I will not forget!!! My luggage did arrive before the 7:30 concert that same day, so all went well. I want to thank Jeff Faux and so many people (it would take forever to list them all) for an amazing time in sunny southern Florida. I can't wait to get back!!!!!!!
Now that the touring was done, it was time to come home and spend time with my amazing wife and family. As I travelled and performed the Christmas concerts, the theme of these performances was the Holy family we focus on each Christmas. This got me to thinking how blessed I am to have my family. The baby that was born that night was a blessing of hope and love that gives us strength to face what life throws us all year. That is the way I look at the blessing of my wife and family. They are amazing gifts of love that God has blessed me with to remind me of that strength of hope and love year round. So as we have entered this new year, I am challenging myself to not only try more to show love to each person I see each day, but to spend more time and remind my family in Mississippi, here in Boise and in North Carolina just how much I love them. After all, when it comes down to this life we live, God and family is all we have and ALL we need!!!!!
It is now time to get ready to kick off the 2012 concert season. I started this new year in Marsing, Idaho, with the wonderful congregation of Marsing Nazarene Church. After the service, I had some of the best potluck lunch I have ever had. Even though it was nice to start the year with a close drive to a concert, it is time to head to the airport again with upcoming concerts in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Louisiana and many other wonderful destinations. Please continue to check the website for the tour schedule and come see me if I am in your area. So many people come up to me and say "I so wish we could have you at our Church" - well, that is very possible. I tell people that God gave me this gift of Music to share, whether it is at a Church of 10 people or 10,000 people. Therefore, if you are interested in a concert, please contact Amy Bradford at amy@paulsaik.com and I am confident that WE can make it work!!!!!!!
Until I see each of you again, please remember that God loves you and never will leave you nor forsake you!!!!!!!!!!!
With a very grateful heart,

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Paul has been very blessed over the years with the opportunity to minister to so many wonderful people throughout the country. In these hard times, it is so important that we continue to rely on the strength and encouragement that God has given us through the saving grace of His Gospel, through the fellowship with other believers and through the power of worship. It is also in these hard times that we at Saik Music are facing a difficult challenge in scheduling ministry opportunities for Paul.
But you can help! Please lend a hand in contacting your local church leaders and help bring Paul to your area. Amy Bradford will be more than happy to assist you in the process of bringing Paul's ministry to your community. If your church would love to have Paul but find it difficult to host a worship concert, please consider anything you can do to assist us. From underwriting Paul's travel expenses, to hosting Paul in your homes, there are ways that we can make this happen! We would also appreciate any referrals you could offer us...your friends, family members and colleagues in other churches or communities that you think would be blessed by Paul's concerts. Please e-mail booking@paulsaik.com for more information.
