September 19, 2008–FRANKLIN,TN–The Christian Independent Alliance is excited to announce a new partnership with Artists in Christian Testimony Intl to provide services to CIAlliance members.

Keith is also founder of Indieheaven.com the leading resource for Christian independent artists worldwide, providing a safe and professional profile, distribution, and community via their IH Network

Mohr states, “We are excited to partner with Artists in Christian Testimony Intl. Byron Spradlin and myself have been hard at work for many years building infrastructures that provide “artistic creatives” a path to accomplish their individual missions. The music industry is undergoing tremendous change, shifting from a commercial to a benevolence model. We believe now is the right time to come together to serve more musicianaries who are pursuing their music missions with passion and excellence. “

Intl mobilizes, sends out, equips, & supports artistic ministers and missionaries “Arts-Ministry Specialists” who are dedicated to evangelizing the lost and building up the Body of Christ. CIAlliance joins more than 100 ongoing ministry projects and departments of A.C.T. Intl around the world, staffed by more than 150 full-time, bi-vocational, volunteer, and short-term ministers and missionaries.”

ACT also provides accounting services, training and most importantly, credibility. ACT has been serving artistic creatives for over 30 years, they have an immense amount of experience and expertise. I look forward to the future with ACT Intl and am grateful for their partnership.”
