Hello TJ's Family & Friends,
We've got some good things brewing and the new year is just getting started...
The Thorsby band is ready to release some new music! We need your help! We'll be sending some of the tracks we recorded at Barton College to be tweaked, mixed and mastered at PureMix Studios soon. We'll also be working with Disc Makersagain for post-production and promo stuff to share with the world!
We're launching a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the immediate expenses while also giving the opportunity for others to sow into the larger vision of TJ's. The Thorsby Band (Michael & Sara Thorsby) primarily funds the vision, mission and all branches of TJ's. Up to this point, we haven't received any personal financial gain, income or salary from any of these adventures over the last decade as we've chosen to invest back into our community instead. Eventually that will change when these branches are self-sufficient so we can pay bills AND support paid staff!
We're also in the process of separating some of the ministry branches of TJ's to our recently formed hub called Fiery Remnant Ministries. The website is still under constrution as we attempt to give language to what we're doing and we're also in the process of establishing it as a 501C3. These shifts will allow us to accept tax-deductible donations for ministry-specific portions of our mission, which will reduce the burden on TJ's as well as build structure for anticipated future growth. We welcome your prayers for clarity, financial provision and all the behind-the-scenes logistics taking place to establish this ministry with excellence!
Venue - We have a few potential buildings we've been considering for TJ's with very different scenarios and logistics involved. We also have a few options we're considering if we choose to host the ministry branches in separate locations. Due to factors out of our control, we may end up making some short-term arrangements while we're waiting on the right timing and resources needed to pursue a larger facility.
Don't forget to stay connected with us as we continue to serve our commUNITY:

TJ's administratively and financially supports all of these branches so we encourage you to DONATE as you feel led so we can better serve our community. We still have plenty of past, present and future investments to cover so every bit helps! Buy some merch or prayerfully consider becoming one of our SPONSORS!!!
Will YOU support us?
Until next time...
Michael Thorsby
