Hello Underground. Hope each of you have been enjoying For The Love of The Game. I have to admit that this is my all time favorite release by Pillar. We have some great news that we want to share with you so here we go!

Hey what's up guys, this is Kalel. We are still out on the "For The Love Of The Game Tour" and its going awesome. Its been really great meeting you guys at the UG meet and greets. We even snuck a few UG members into a show the other day because it was sold out. We've been hearing tons of positive response from you all about the new album and this tour. This has truly been some of the best times we've had out on the road. I hope it shows during our shows. Thank you all so much for the support and prayers. If you like the new album "For The Love Of The Game" go tell people about it. Movements are started because of the passion from people like you. Share the passion. Love you all.

Hey what’s up Rockaholics? It’s definitely been a while, but I thought and prayed for this ministry more than you can imagine. So here we are again, and now, we are here to stay! I hope you have your armor on, cause it’s time to break some bones!

As you warriors already know, Pillar is releasing “For the Love of the Game” on 2/26/08. It will truly be a day of justice, as this album will prove to be a new kind of rebirth for all of us.

Ya know why? I was looking through the Best Buy catalog today and came across the music section. The hot sellers were either bands I haven’t heard yet or bands who vomit the most obscene messages that poison our society every single day. Needless to say, all I saw was satanic garbage, and it’s not right to sit down and do nothing about it.

Since when has Radio Recon been known to be silent? The noise we caused for the last 3 years has helped Pillar reach # 1 an unbelievable number of times, crushing records, and most of all, crushing demons!

Fortunately, for the last couple months, “For the Love of the Game” has been heating up the radio waves and has now hit # 1! It’s our mission to keep it there for as long as possible. In case you haven’t heard it yet, check it out on the band’s MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/pillar

So what is the new album all about? “For the Love of the Game”? It’s really for the love of ministering and changing peoples’ lives for the good. Pillar loves God and exists to serve Him. Radio Recon exists to help Pillar gain more exposure so that more people will be touched by their messages and embrace Jesus. I guarantee you that because of Pillar’s ministry, more people have turned away from their evil ways and asked Jesus to break their chains and give them new life! Jesus is our hope!

We are all like the Sheep in Luke 15, and sometimes, we lose our way. Hasn’t Jesus rescued us each and every single time and forgiven us of our failures? Haven’t we been given mercy and become cleansed from all our sins? In the same way, God has given us the responsibility to reach others who are lost and need Him in their lives.

The world will not admit it, but many lost people are reaching out for something they haven’t felt before. You can see their hands everywhere. In Matthew 12, Jesus saw this and healed the man with a shriveled hand, which is symbolic of all believers being restored with a purpose and meaning in life. Therefore, what they haven’t felt before is the One who will empower them and love them unconditionally!

If you truly want to touch lives for the Lord in this ministry, please pray for the band and for all your fellow believers in God.

I know you remember what to do with this ever-so-familiar link:

http://www.ugarmy.com/Members/main/hitlist.html

Each time you do this daily, a hand is reached, and chains are broken! This is all because of the unspeakable and unexplainable love of God, from whom all things are possible in His name!

We are the Awakening. We are the Revolution. We are RADIO RECON!

Most of all, we are servants and soldiers for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords – JESUS CHRIST!

Lead the Way,

Terry

Underground!

Man it seems like forever since I've sent a message out. Make no mistake about it, I have missed talking to all of you! Hope all of you are having a great summer and have been able to hit some of the great festivals that have been happening. Things are getting busy here in the Pillar camp and we have lots of new missions.  But first I've got a special message to all of you from Pillar -

 

What's up Underground Army! We haven't forgotten about you. It has been a while though. Since we all had babies last year we've been spending lots of time with our families and WORKING ON THE NEW PILLAR ALBUM. If you haven't heard, yes, we are in the studio right now working on our 5th full length album. The arrangements and drums are already tracked. Noah is up in Knoxville, TN right now recording guitars. I go up at the end of the month to start on bass. The new album is going to be called "For The Love Of The Game". The word is that it will be releasing possibly in February. These new songs are very energetic. Rob has been watching lots of UFC fighting while writing this record. So now it is time to put the coals on the fire. Start the engine back up. Its time to awake the sleeping dragon we call The Underground Army. Get ready for action. Rob just filmed a special message for you guys- check it out at youtube. We appreciate all your encouragement and support through the years. There is a lot about to go down. Keep in touch.  -Kalel, Rob, Noah, and Lester
