Making a childhood dream come true, Natasha, Hanne,
Loretta, and Nicola have already influenced many young people,
by example and through their ministry, to turn their eyes upon
Jesus. Diving right into the heart of secondary schools in the
UK, ShineMK focuses on winning the hearts of one of the largest
youth populations in the area. Through weekly ministries filled
with morning assemblies, lunchtime and evening concerts, and one-on-one
witnessing, ShineMK offers friendship and the Truth in a non-threatening
way.
Each member of the group grew up longing to become
singers and dancers, but when they turned their lives over to
God, each at an early age, the opportunity to integrate their
two loves in life became a reality. Two years following their
training at the School of Creative Ministries, a school where
the girls studied the art of becoming Christian performers, Loretta
and Natasha focused on praying and planning for the future.
Loretta Andrews, former member of World Wide Message
Tribe, and happily married identical twin Natasha Andrews, began
with a dream, further explaining other "Do It Right" lyrics: ...we
can begin to make it happen, if we would open up our eyes....
They then added to the vision of ShineMK Nicola Rodgers, a rambunctious
redhead, and Hanne Pettersen of Norway, who was once destined
to be in a wheelchair due to severe problems with her legs. Like
Hanne, who now dances successfully in ShineMK, each member of
the band has a unique story to tell and a true desire to share
what God has done for them. This not only comes across on the
album but can certainly be seen in their hearts.
