Frank Grubbs Continues To Touch Lives "One By One"
From the Good News Etc. newspaper (San Diego)
Frank Grubbs’ passion for reaching out to others started at an early age. Traveling to orphanages in Tijuana with his Clairemont youth group, Grubbs knew what his purpose in life would be. Helping the underprivileged, and particularly children, in developing countries became his life passion.
A native of San Diego and currently residing in Oceanside, Frank Grubbs has been bringing his message of faith to people all across the country. Frank is a World Vision Artist Associate and inspires churches and retreats to become involved with the World Vision Ministry through his special style of music.
World Vision is the largest privately funded Christian relief and development organization in the world. Frank is proud to have been associated with them full time for the last 10 years. In fact, his mission statement is, “To encourage Christians to become involved with missions around the world, and to encourage Christians to make a difference by sponsoring a child with World Vision.”
Frank has succeeded in doing just that. And, with his latest C.D., One By One, he is sure to raise even more support. One By One is the fourth release by this talented artist. All the words and music were written by Grubbs, and the 10 songs were inspired by children World Vision sponsors all over the world.
"One By One," the title track, prays for a child in a war torn town thousands of miles away, because she is part of the family. The lyrics remind us that we can make a difference one-by-one. The upbeat worship treat, “I’ve Got Your Love,” lifts our spirits with a great guitar intro and catchy drums. The refrain, “God Is Love,” are words that cannot be heard too much.
“Into The World” commands us to spread the news of Jesus Christ with a reggae beat. “Wavemakers” starts off with the quote by Jim Elliot, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.” The artist challenges us to make a difference with a traditional rock beat.
“Anywhere You Lead” is a cleverly written ballad proclaiming “Anywhere you lead I want to go now.” It tells us to trust in the Lord and embrace where He leads us “One Day At A Time” reminds us to live in the here and now, and keep our focus on God.
Frank was presented the Bob Pierce Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of his work for children all across the globe. Over 500,000 children are sponsored by people in the U.S., due largely to numerous artists, including Frank, who tour and hold conferences. World Vision celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2000, and is active in over 100 countries.
Grubbs tours churches and retreats year round, presenting the Good News of Christ. His main focus is to get Christians involved in sponsoring a child, making a much-needed difference in their lives.
Frank is available to lead worship, as a guest musician or to simply give a presentation on World Vision ministries. He doesn’t ask for donations, but simply for the opportunity to speak on behalf of underprivileged children across the globe.
