Eternal Tribe Music Ministry

Eternal Tribe Host Yo MTV Raps, What?
"Up On A Mission Tour" to Europe last summer, 2001, was off "DA wheezy of sherry!" DA "e" ship bounced to, Germany, Austria & Yugoslavia.

1 of DA craze-a high lights of the tour was when e-tribe was scheduled to perform at a festival in Stuttgart, Germany, where 70,000 people were to tend & had to cancel it because DA "e" was committed to the five people at Calvary Chapel in Belgrade for some outreaches on the streets and there was no way to make it to the scheduled sound check in Stuttgart. Dub Z says C.C. Belgrade really needed us to come on through cuz we were the only group rolling out DAT way and the big time festival in Stuttgart had a grip of bands, even some Christian bands, so we canceled Stuttgart (the big festival) to stay faithful to the Lord & DA lil church in Belgrade.

Now I be known what y'all be stinking' thinking cuz I was stinking thinking da same thing, 70,000 people! what!!! "How U gonna give up a gig like dat? Shoo dude!" says Dub Z, that's big time of e-tribe, but it is all about trusting the Lord, home! cuz Gods ways are not our ways!

Long story short after much spiritual warfare, like, while this Holy hip-hop crew was in route to Belgrade, a bus hit one of the rides they were dipping and blew out all the windows almost killing everyone in the car. Chris, our missionary in Belgrade, wasn't able to get permits for e-tribe to rap on the streets. Mine's says, "we were kind trippin cuz we went all da way down there to bust on da streets and gave up a great opportunity in Stuttgart and here we are stuck in da mud". We began to doubt and ask the question, "did we come here in the flesh"? says Dub Z but of course God had a better plan!

Da Lord opened the door for da "e" to host a video show in Belgrade, called the "Black Market" which is sponsored by MTV. It was the YO MTV RAPS TOP 10 VIDEOS and I mean mo wicked top 10 videos. SNOOP DOGG's video, then e-tribe live, MISSY ELLIOT's video, then mo e-tribe live, BUSTA RHYMES, J-LO Etc…then mo & mo e-tribe representing Christ Fo Life. They told us we could say whatever we wanted so we did just dat. Talked about Jesus. It was off da hook! e-tribe's new video "Change Your Life Around" was also aired on the show as we were able to tell a nation about Christ, which was much bigger than da 70,000 people festival in Stuttgart.

Da Club in Belgrade
Later that night the eternal Hip-Hop crew from O.C. rocked a club in Belgrade & after about the seventh song they preached it up as foo's were blowing smoke up in our faces from the chronic they were smoking, but others were getting blessed. It was all good cuz at the end of the night our nets were full as we had taken about 20 to 30 kids with us to dinner and there were several salvations that night! Dub Z told us that, "After the club in Belgrade a fifteen-year-old girl gave me a small gift and asked me to open it. It was a string with a wooden cross and inside the gift was a note that read "Thank you for making my heart closer to God" I was so blessed!

One loco night in Belgrade this Serb TV producer of the "Black Market" invited Dub Z & D Germanator to the most notorious gangsta hood in Belgrade called "Da Block" Da Germanator describes da scene as Ghetto asGhetto can be! Tall jacked up buildings with tore up basketball courts in da middle, graffiti everywhere and on every other park bench Serb homies slangin and getting high. Da Block is the hood where Vlade Divac lived when he balled in Serbia before the NBA. Anywayzzzz, Dub Z tells us they were sharing Jesus with some thugz at "Da Block" about 3 o'clock in da morning and this one homie told us he just got out of jail, that one night after they ran out of fire crackers they were throwing out the window of their crib, he decided to toss a handgrenade out da window and blew up four cars and the playground. In Belgrade you can buy a grenade for $15.00 so grenades are easy access for a gangsta. Nobody accepted Jesus that night but seeds were planted and some tears started rolling as we shared.

e-tribe Bust Wit Dos Effects
It was like this says da Germanator, after we packed up at the club in downtown Belgrade, some Serbian Hip-Hop Producer named Juice from Belgrade asked Da Germanator & Dub Z to bust some flows on their new joint they were tracking in the studio. Dos Effects ( a big time Rap crew with a hit single in the states) spit some flows on the CD as well. So we jump into a taxi, which is no joke in Belgrade, and bounced to the studio, rocked the mic foe a minute, foe Jesus, on a worldly Gangsta joint before bouncing back to Germany. God just opening mad doors to minister out there!

A Couple 2 Pac Fans Get Saved
One morning in Siegen, Germany after spending the night atEdmond & Martha's house, Calvary Chapel Siegen Youth Pastors/Missionaries, which is a whole other off da hook story all by itself, says Dub Z! We were getting on a bus in the rain headed to the church to meet with some of the youth so we could go outreach on the streets in down town Siegen. A couple homies about 16 years old, sporting their bandanas backwards like da homie2Pac, sagging, bling bling around the neck, and a 2 Pac t-shirt, smoking cigarettes, hop on the bus. At dat time Dub Z pulls 2 e-tribe CDs out of his back pack, hands them to Da Germanator and says go rock those homies wit Jesus. "Those 2 homies Kurt and Dominic chilled with us until 3:00 a.m. that night," says Da Geranator and they kicked it with us the next day as well.

Now Calvary Chapel Siegen had a youth retreat coming up at the Castle in Austria and e-tribe was to go so we invited the 2pac fans to go on the retreat with us, even though we found out they were Muslims, family tradition. They came up with the Benjamins and rolled with us to the Castle in Austria. At first it was tough cuz they were ditching studies and just chilling at the lake just wanting to have fun but after a couple loving rebukes and getting them to stay in the bangin bible studies Youth Pastor EZ was throwing down, and much prayer, the Muslim 2pac fans received Jesus and joined da family! Da Germanator says "U gotta be patient with dose lil homies in Christ and take em under your wing, spend the time loving em and teach em to fly fo Christ." We were able to spend quality time with them from worship, prayer, studies, to chilling on the dock on a sunny day at the lake and inter tubing as a speed boat pulled us around the lake, we also were able to take them with us to spit rhymes at a da park in Spitall, Austria, it was a all dat!!!

Hip Hop Sweethearts Hook it Up

Da Date: Friday September 28th. Da time: sunset. Da place: Laguna Beach, California. Da occasion, Dub Z & Mine'eee's wedding. "It was da bomb," says Dub Z! "wit the sound of the waves cashing over looking the ocean, at sunset, my Turkish bride walks down the isle, I was blown away! I never felt such an amazing presence of the Holy Spirit in my walk with Jesus as this day. Brian Brodersen married us but it was as if he wasn't even there and Jesus himself married us."

God has blessed me with the perfect help mate as we both have been lead to fulfill our calling in Eternal Tribe Music Ministry. "Our wedding, was just a taste of the joy & celebration we have coming in Heaven says

Mine'eee. We can't imagine how amazing the marriage supper is gonna be as we, the bride of Christ, become as one with Jesus for Eternity. Woo Woo!!!

Da Germanator & Soulita hooked it up June 1st, 2002 up in da mountains at Twin Peaks. So from the mountians to da sea, We Da "e" a Christian family! Please Please Please keep their wedding in prayer!

October 20th, it was all about da "Worship Generation" ushering in the Holy Spirit into Anaheim Convention Center with about 6 or 7 thousand people up in dat mug. e-tribe was so blessed to be among the great artists that were there that night. Jeremy Camp, Str8 & Narrow, Phil Wickham, Ambassadors Fo Christ, Scott Cunningham, and Scarlet Thread led such powerful worship. Joey Buran, x-surfing champ, now a off da hook Pastor, blew up da mic as he preached da Word of God. Several Hundred kids got saved as well as hundreds making recommitment's. Can't wait to see what the Lord is gonna do next year as God continues to blow up da W.G.!
