| Hello again from Petra Rocks My World! I want to congratulate the two    |
| winners of the Petra Rocks My World! email newsletter sign-up contest:   |
| Plinio Sousa (EXTREME on this board) won the Revival CD and DVD; and     |
| Karen Lyons won the John Lawry "Media Alert" album. Thanks to everyone   |
| who participated!                                                        |
|                                                                          |
| There's lots of exciting stuff happening, both at the website and for    |
| the band. One important project for PRMW is just beginning, and I need   |
| your help: It's a project to translate the site into multiple languages. |
| You'll learn more about why I want to do this and how you can help in    |
| the "Site Update" section of this newsletter.                            |
|                                                                          |
| Until next time,                                                         |

| Petra recently played a show in Kirksville, MO, which I attended. The    |
| band really rocked and played quite a long set. After the show I talked  |
| briefly with John Schlitt about the upcoming Night of Joy performances,  |
| as well as the next album.                                               |
|                                                                          |
| John said the band had been practicing with Bob Hartman, who will        |
| perform with them at Night of Joy. John predicted that Petra's two       |
| performances at Night of Joy would rock hard. "You saw how we played     |
| tonight," he said. "Imagine how good it will be with two amazing guitar  |
| players instead of one." Night of Joy is this weekend, Sept. 7 and 8.    |
|                                                                          |

| As soon as Night of Joy is finished, John said all five members of the   |
| band would get together to make decisions regarding Petra's next album.  |
| He said that right now they have heard feedback from fans and industry   |
| people suggesting either a rock album or another praise album. John said |
| if they did another praise album, they would make sure it had a lot of   |
| rock content. If you haven't contacted Petra to make your feelings       |
| known, you should! Let them know what you'd like to see on the next      |
| Petra album.                                                             |

| I need YOUR help as Petra Rocks My World! begins to fulfill a dream I've |
| had for a long time.                                                     |
|                                                                          |
| It's not an accident that I call the website "Petra Rocks My WORLD!" --  |
| Petra really does have fans in every country. For several years, now, I  |
| have wanted to translate my site into different languages so it can be   |
| more of a blessing to people who don't understand English, and so it can |
| help increase Petra's ministry. I've made some changes in recent months  |
| to prepare for this project, and now I am ready to begin.                |
|                                                                          |
| Here's the plan: I want to focus on translating into three languages     |
| first: Spanish, Portuguese, and German. These are the three most common  |
| languages (besides English) of visitors to my site.                      |
|                                                                          |
| Are you able to translate any of these three languages into English? If  |
| so, please contact me. We can discuss how you can help.                  |
|                                                                          |
| If you are interested in helping to translate PRMW into some other       |
| language, please contact me, also.                                       |
|                                                                          |
