The story of Music Indeed and \u201cDoing Good Deeds\u201d is for now, the story of G. Edwin Bryant, Sr (Bryant) of Liberia, Africa, and Eric Bryant (Eric) of Maine USA.<\/strong><\/p>\n In the summer of July 2016<\/strong>, Eric attended a day-long leadership training event in Massachusetts. Up with the sun and on the road with a few friends, he could never have known that it would be a day that would change his life. Exactly a year before, at a weekend event dedicated to uncovering one\u2019s legacy, he had refined his purpose statement, \u201cHealing The World Through Music\u201d. It fit perfectly. It inspired him. It expressed his life and his legacy. Having begun playing worship music in church publicly at age 11, becoming a worshiper of God, a worship leader, and music minister over the years since, this was clearly his God-inspired purpose.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.29.3″ custom_padding=”||7px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ _i=”2″ _address=”0.2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px||true|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″ _i=”0″ _address=”0.2.0″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.29.3″ header_2_font=”|600||on|||||” animation_style=”fade” hover_enabled=”0″ _i=”0″ _address=”0.2.0.0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” hover_enabled=”0″ _i=”3″ _address=”0.3″ custom_margin=”16px|auto||auto||” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin_phone=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||0px||true|false”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″ _i=”0″ _address=”0.3.0″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.29.3″ animation_style=”fade” hover_enabled=”0″ _i=”0″ _address=”0.3.0.0″ content_last_edited=”on|phone” content_phone=”<\/p>\n Close of the training day<\/strong> a challenge was offered: List 10 tasks you can complete over the next 2 weeks that express yourself as the leader you are.

The fellowship with these amazing children is phenominal! They’re so polite and loving and call you Uncle and Auntie. On one tour Eric got to play and sing his favorite worship songs with them.<\/p>\n To say that the kids melted Eric\u2019s heart would be an understatement. To say that the mission of the Music for Life Foundation was an inspiration to him would be yet another gross understatement. Eric, who is adopted himself, had always had a heart for helping orphans.<\/p>\n “]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At the close of the training day<\/strong> a challenge was offered: List 10 tasks you can complete over the next 2 weeks that express yourself as the leader you are.

He turned to Facebook, to Bryant\u2019s profile page. In his usual, faith-filled way of declaring things into existence though they are not yet, Bryant proclaimed, \u201cFor the first time, our schools will be teaching music, piano and voice!\u201d<\/p>\n Picture Bryant standing in a dusty sunlit classroom, with no electricity, surrounded by a few musical instruments, and holding in his hands a saxophone with no mouthpiece. Declaring it. We will be teaching music! Eric called him that very day, and they spoke for the first time. They spoke. They prayed. They hung up, and Eric now knew where the instruments were going!<\/p>\n He looked into Bryant\u2019s background. He was a man of faith, active in his local church, singing on the worship team. He had started 4 schools on a mission from God, and was waiving tuition for children who had lost their parents in the ebola crisis, placing them in foster homes. He had a crate full of certificates of appreciation from far and wide for participating and helping in various ways.<\/p>\n Eric asked how he operated the schools and was presented with a multi-page management document outlining all the school\u2019s policies, from enrolling kindergarten students through grade 12, all the way to teacher retirement.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.29.3″ hover_enabled=”0″ _i=”10″ _address=”0.10″ custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding_phone=”20px||||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″ _i=”0″ _address=”0.10.0″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.29.3″ header_2_font=”|600||on|||||” animation_style=”fade” _i=”0″ _address=”0.10.0.0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.29.3″ hover_enabled=”0″ _i=”11″ _address=”0.11″ custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″ _i=”0″ _address=”0.11.0″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.29.3″ animation_style=”fade” _i=”0″ _address=”0.11.0.0″]<\/p>\n If anyone<\/em>\u00a0knows anything<\/em><\/strong>, it\u2019s that you don\u2019t wire money to Africa. Right? Right. Eric figured if he was going to help equip the music labs, and ask others to help, he’d best be the first to give it a go. He wired $250 cash to Bryant through Western Union, enough to purchase 2 used keyboards at the DKD Enterprises thrift store, 40 minutes away in Monrovia, Liberia.<\/p>\n Bryant went there that week<\/strong>, got the cash, and sent a cell phone picture of it! The next day he sent a cell phone picture of a receipt for 2 keyboards. The next week Eric sent more funds, and that\u2019s how this whole thing got started. (Photoshop won’t actually open a photo of cash, so we hope this edited-down version will do.)<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″
