BIG NEWS! - It is with great joy (and some sadness, too) that I announce: My family, ministry and I are moving to Southern Indiana in mid-July! I'll bet you're wondering how this all came about...
FIRST OFF: We are ABSOLUTELY continuing our concert schedule, as well as booking NEW EVENTS all over the U.S.A. I will continue to write and record music, and offer my Christian Kids' Music Products for sale and Concerts and Events for hire. We are continuing on - from Southern Indiana!

Since about 2006, we Biagis have been praying and wanting to relocate our ministry to the "middle of the country" somewhere, saving money and travel time to concerts. Then, earlier this year, a family inheritance made a home in Jeffersonville, Indiana available to us. The deal is too good to pass up! We trust that God is leading us, so we're goin'!
I am excited for the opportunities (singing, teaching, evangelism, fellowship) that are sure to come. Kathleen is thanking God for leading us. Juli (age 15) is excited to make new actor/singer/dancer friends at a new church and high school. Natalie (age 8) says she's "50% happy, 50% sad." The pets aren't saying much (I think the cat's on the fence).
Sadly, we'll be leaving my son Matt (age 22) behind. He has his own apartment about an hour and a half away, a solid career (in law enforcement), and a sweet fiancee, so we'll have to make due with [Apple iPhone's] "FaceTime" instead of his drop-in visits. Rats.
But oh...! The things that lie ahead?! (prayer requests, if you please)
- that God keeps our family bound together tightly in Christ, dependent on him, "rightly handling" his word, and ready to minister in every circumstance!
- that Kathleen and I continue to have a strong, Christ-focused, God-pleasing marriage.
- that my son Matt and his fiancee Dana draw ever closer to God and grow and thrive in their faith and relationship - without us near.
- that God helps me find LOTS concerts & teaching opportunities for LOTS of kids and families in LOTS of churches and schools.
- that God will use us to lead the neighbors (and distant relatives) to Jesus Christ!
We hope and pray for BIG, radical things to happen in our ministries and lives!
California has been a wonderful place to call "home." God has worked powerfully in our lives through Compass Bible Church, Mariners Church, and with all of the ministry friends we've found along the way. But life isn't about our comfort, our posessions, our tans, or our lives at all! It's about building the kingdom and doing the will of the God who created us! Our lives are to be lived in trust and obedience to him, for his glory and pleasure. He will take care of us!
You're Curious:
- YES we will be back to CA 2-3 times a year for ministry events, and [Lord willing] - be really busy singing and dancing for Jesus in the Midwest starting this summer!
- NO we're not ready for the HOT and COLD of Indiana!
- NO I'm not moving for a job.
More to come in blogs, on Facebook and Twitter, and in emails. Be joyful always! - Rob, Kathleen, Matt, Juli and Natalie Biagi 5/3/2013
