| September had two big dates for Petra: the 7th and the 11th. Obviously   |
| Sept. 11 was an important day of memorial for our country, and Petra was |
| able to minister through a concert in Chaska, MN that day. On Sept. 7,   |
| Bob Hartman rejoined the band onstage--the first time in 7 years--at     |
| Walt Disney World's "Night of Joy." From all reports, it was a great     |
| performance. Click the link below to read more about it.                 |
|                                                                          |

|                                                                          |
| In other news, it appears Petra will have not one but two albums coming  |
| out over the next year or so. The next album will be a compilation of    |
| their hits from Words Records called "Still Means War." It should hit    |
| the streets Nov. 19, 2002.                                               |
|                                                                          |
| As I reported last time, Petra should now be beginning discussions about |
| their next studio album. John Schlitt said in a recent Petra newsletter  |
| that they anticipate this will be a "regular" Petra album. It also       |
| appears the band WILL be working with Inpop Records again, according to  |
| a brief message posted by the moderator of Inpop's message forum.        |
|                                                                          |
| So have you told the band and the record company what sort of album YOU  |
| want to see? If not, please email them and share your thoughts.          |
|                                                                          |

| Over the last two weeks, work has progressed rapidly toward making Petra |
| Rocks My World! a multilingual website. My deepest thanks go out to      |
| everyone who has volunteered to help translate the site into German,     |
| Spanish, and Portuguese.                                                 |
|                                                                          |
| At the same time we are working on translations, I have been redesigning |
| the website. The new design is slim, trim, more colorful, and more       |
| compatible. I think you will be surprised how much faster the pages      |
| load, especially if you use a dial-up modem. Site navigation should be   |
| much easier, as well.                                                    |
|                                                                          |
| As well as a new design, I plan to develop a content management system   |
| for the site. This should make switching between languages easier, and   |
| it will make it easier for me to maintain the site overall. PHP and      |
| MySQL programming are new for me, so this part of the project will take  |
| longer.                                                                  |
|                                                                          |
| Unfortunately it's still unclear in which order things will go online. I |
| will make sure to give you all the details as I figure them out. :)      |
|                                                                          |
