What We Do

Makingpraisesloud is a collaboration between one.eleven.one.ministries and futureVision ministries with the purpose of providing music and sound equipment to churches all over the world who do not have access to the equipment they need. Along with this equipment, we are committed to providing complete training for everything we provide to ensure each church has full use of their new tools.

In the summer of 2005, Patrick Schrepel had the opportunity to spend some time with pastors from South Africa who explained their frustration about the lack of quality music equipment available to their church people in spite of their abundant talent. From this conversation, a dream was born. What if there was a missions project with the sole purpose of meeting this often neglected need?

After months of prayer and research, the result of this dream was makingpraisesloud. The Philippine Islands were chosen as the first destination and the work began.

Terry Scott of futureVision ministries signed on to oversee all of the travel plans. Robbie Selph became the Technical Director and Jason Schrepel became the Inventory/Training Director.

Each trip has seen additional team members join with us to make sure everything goes as close to plan as possible.

If you know of a church that does not have access to good music equipment, you can now nominate a church for consideration for future projects. Please see our “Nominate” page on this site for more information.
