“Blues for Antonio”… an Evening of Sacred Blues
Wow! I had almost forgotten about this song… we played this cool event for Rick Sutton called “Sacred Blues” and I pulled out this blues tune I wrote back in Italy years ago. Until the night of this video, it had never been performed… sure was fun! (more…)
Mercy Comes Calling…
Come help the Bana Project help the orphans and ‘at risk’ children of Lesotho, South Africa this Friday night at NorthPark BC in Trussville, AL. Me and the band are excited about the new songs we’ve been test driving lately, and we have a very special song written specifically about the needs of people not only in Africa, but all around the world. Look at the world through their eyes…

The Father
Yesterday, January 13, 2010 at 10:50 am Eastern, my father Melvin Joseph Vinson Sr. passed away at a hospital in Cocoa, Florida. Dad was suffering from a variety of illnesses, but ultimately succumbed to complications arising from a large clot in his lung. He was 83 years old.
There is not space to describe what our family is feeling, and certainly not room to even begin to tell you about my Dad. I have been asked by the family to lead a very informal gathering in Birmingham, AL on Saturday, January 30th (place and time to be determined). Over the next days I will prayerfully attempt to compose a message worthy of the man who was my father.
“Joe” Vinson… 1927-2010 A life fueled by love and illuminated by Grace.
I love you, Dad…
Hello 2010!
2010… wow! Sounds like something from a sci-fi movie. But when you look at all the modern tools at our disposal in communicating the message of hope and mercy in Christ, it IS pretty amazing after all!
Project Onefifty is all about using whatever tools we can in our mission. One of our many goals for 2010 is to release several different music projects. While that sounds pretty conventional, we’re looking for ‘unconventional’ methods to distribute said projects!
So here’s our first attempt. We are offering an exclusive download of the original acoustic version of “I Will Trust in You” (featuring Gaither Vocal Band member Wes Hampton)! Click the link on the widget, sign up and then enjoy the music. Of course we promise that we will not sell your e-mail addy or flood your inbox with updates. We want to send you news of what God is doing through P150 so you can join us in this incredible adventure.
Hold on tight… 2010 is gonna be a wild ride!
God bless!

“The Child”
Happy holidays, everyone! The season of Advent is upon us, the time where we remember and celebrate the birth of Christ. What a radical thing… God sending his son into our fallen world. Author John Eldredge likens it to a beach-front invasion onto enemy shores.
In the spirit of the season, I wanted to share a little instrumental I did several years ago. “The Child” is my arrangement of the Christmas carol “What Child is This?” (one of my favorites!). This song was used on a benefit CD by my great friend and P150 member Tony Wachter a few years back. This version is actually the original demo I recorded way back in the day… I hope you enjoy it!
Merry Christmas!!
The story behind the song; I Will Trust in You
I had the great privilege to play my song “I Will Trust in You” today in worship at the Hunter Street Baptist Church in Hoover, AL. The song was used as part of a message series about hope, and many people were moved by this message of Psalm 56:3. I have previously posted this story, but if you will allow me, here again is the inspiration behind “I Will Trust in You.” (more…)
Have mercy!
What is the responsibility of believers in the world? Jesus spelled it out: ‘I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was homeless and you gave me a room, I was shivering and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you stopped to visit, I was in prison and you came to me.’
Global hunger. Up to now it’s been pretty much a third-world issue, confined to the poorest areas of our planet. There have been many humanitarian efforts to combat this problem, with many Christian organizations at the forefront.
But let me be completely transparent on this issue. Fighting global hunger has never been high on my list of priorities.
It takes a village… to create a website
It’s been a long time coming, and it’ll be a week or so before we’ve tweeked the living daylights out of our new site, so be patient.
Big time thanks to all the incredibly talented photographers, graphic artists, and the like who always makes Project Onefifty look better than we deserve. A special thanks to Durand Robinson of Creative Works in Dublin Ireland for pulling it all together and making it work!
