Special Word from Libbi Perry Stuffle
Dear Friends,
Words cannot begin to express our gratitude and appreciation for all of the kindness, well wishes, and prayers for my husband, Tracy Stuffle, and our family. As most of you know, Tracy suffered a heart attack last week while at home. It was then determined that he would need open heart surgery and five bypasses. The doctors were able to perform the surgery on Friday, August 13, without any issues, and Tracy is currently resting comfortably. We are expecting him to be released from the hospital on Tuesday, August 17, to begin his recovery at home.
Our family has been overwhelmed at the love and support from thousands across this land. "Thank you" seems so inadequate, but please know that it is from the heart. God has truly given my husband a second chance, for which we are so grateful. We know that we have a long road ahead of us for Tracy's recovery, but God is faithful.
Many people have asked, "What can we do?" Tracy and I ask two things of our many friends across the country. First and foremost, we humbly ask for your prayers as we begin the next phase of Tracy's rehabilitation and full recovery. Secondly, it would mean so much to Tracy and I that you support the group as they continue to travel in our absence. Tracy will not be on stage for several weeks, and I believe my place should be by his side as his wife, confidante, and primary caregiver. I do plan to go with the group when possible, but my priority will be Tracy's care. Katy Peach, Troy's wife, will be filling my position when I am not able to go with the group. (If you have ever heard her, you know she is an incredible singer!) Please know that the Perrys will be fulfilling all of our dates in the coming weeks. Your support will give us this much-needed time for Tracy to fully recover, and make the necessary adjustments in our lifestyle following this surgery.
Thank you again for your love and support. With Tracy's full health, we believe the future is brighter than ever for the Perrys.
Love,
Libbi Perry Stuffle

Three Bridges Shares Stage with Jimmy Fortune at Violet Township Festival
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (August 17, 2010) – Christian music trio Three Bridges was honored to share the stage with Jimmy Fortune (formerly of the Statler Brothers) last month. The trio was the featured performer (along with Fortune) at the Violet Township Festival on Thursday, July 29, 2010. Both artists were a part of the Faith & Family Night at the annual festival, which takes place in Pickerington, Ohio every summer.
Shannon Smith of Three Bridges said, "It was an absolute honor to share the stage with Jimmy Fortune! He is an amazing performer with some of the most pure tenor vocals I've ever heard, and he is an awesome guitar player as well. More importantly, his love for the Lord is so genuine and contagious. I'm honored to call Jimmy my friend."
Three Bridges’ Elliott McCoy also commented, “We had a blast performing at this festival and sharing the stage with one of Country music’s greatest performers! Being a featured performer alongside Jimmy Fortune was a wonderful experience for Three Bridges.”
Each artist performed for over an hour before sharing the stage together. Three Bridges and Jimmy performed several of Jimmy’s well-known songs together, such as “Elizabeth,” “More Than Just a Name On the Wall,” and “How Great Thou Art.”
Pictures from the event can be found on Three Bridges’ Facebook page.
Three Bridges has been preparing for the release of their highly anticipated new recording. The yet-to-be-titled new release will be the first to feature new members Shannon Smith and Jeremie Hudson.
For more information on Three Bridges, visit them on the web at http://www.threebridges.net.
Three Bridges will also be a regular featured artist on the upcoming national television program “Brush Arbor Jubilee" as will be shown on numerous networks and local cable markets nationwide.
About Three Bridges

This blended style has made Three Bridges one of the prominent internationally-acclaimed Gospel groups in Christian music today — a group known for tight harmony, a unique vocal style, an exciting, energy-packed stage presentation, and, most importantly, spreading the joy of being a Christian.
New Jesus Movie Receives Matching Donations
(August 17,2010) Even as scores of new supporters have begun to pour in from most every corner of the world (see www.facebook.com/NewJesusMovie) , Malaysia, Brazil, Uganda, Nepal, Malawi… just in the last few days, a family foundation which desires to remain anonymous, has stepped forward with a pledge to match donations up to $4,000 from August 6 – 22, working through The National Christian Foundation.
“As you can guess,” remarks Bruce Marchiano, who is spearheading this groundbreaking vision, “I am EXTREMELY humbled and thankful for this family – and for everyone who has given of themselves to see the Gospel go forth in this dynamic.”
Uniquely, “Jesus… No Greater Love” is being produced as a non-profit ministry, to be funded by the collective donations of millions of believers who appreciate the need for Jesus across America and the world, and the medium of film being “the language” of today. “It is no mystery that people are reading less and less – especially young people,” Marchiano continues. “But they do watch movies. So for me it is a no-brainer – make the Gospel a movie, and put it on theater/TV screens across this nation and the world, dub it into the languages of the world; equip local churches, ministries, missionaries, etc., with it… and see the Lord touch lives!”
“Jesus… No Greater Love” will be a Word-for-Word adaptation of The Gospel According to John, the vision’s foundation being that the power to change lives is not in the film – but in God’s Word, in His Gospel. The script is currently undergoing a “final polish” to assure that the Gospel truths are brought to life in accuracy and depth that will peel back the layers of John’s Gospel as much as possible. At the same time, the film makers are committed to utilizing the most cutting edge film technology available, making Jesus… No Greater Love truly “a Jesus movie for a new generation.”
And why would professionals volunteer, and everyday believers give, to a film production? Because “Jesus…No Greater Love” isn’t about generating commercial success, but about reaching souls for Jesus. It’s about millions of youth “watching” the Gospel on iPods, cell phones, the internet, etc., and also being projected on a bed sheet in an Indian leper colony. This is a film produced by the body of Christ to reach the world for Christ.
As believers across America and the world embrace that same passion with their support, especially in this seventeen day period of matching their donations – “Jesus… No Greater Love” will soon be coming to a screen near you! For more information, visit www.NewJesusMovie.com.
