Winds of Hope, Winds of Healing is a unique project of music and outreach with a goal of raising funds to benefit mental health, pastoral counseling services and professional chaplaincy in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast area in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The project has been initiated by several individuals and organizations whose talents, resources and connections have come together in remarkable ways. Collectively, the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Presbyterian Health, Education and Welfare Association (PHEWA), Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) have played an intricate part in the kick-off of Winds of Hope, Winds of Healing. Secular and corporate entities, individual churches and musicians from around the country, sound and recording professionals from Nashville, and well-known and new artists have joined together in this organic effort. The birth of this project continues to illustrate the power of many in an effort to raise substantial funds for storm-ravaged victims. [Read more]
