...V*Enna's
strong passion for both discipleship and evangelism is clear and equally
yoked throughout the entire album. Where I Wanna Be's edgy and melodically
driven title cut dives into the desire to emulate Christ in every aspect
of our lives, whereas the straightforward approach with "Why Did I Let
You Go?" and "Do You Wanna Know" falls directly into the vein of discipleship.
The girls of V*Enna are set to take both sides of the Atlantic by storm.
They can finally devote more time to their fans, which is what they
really enjoy doing. Now, their dual ministry focus of evangelism and
discipleship can truly begin.
"We really want to see kids accept the challenge to not waste their teen
years," Sharnessa explains. "I've especially seen that here in the States
kids live from party to party, from mall to mall, from weekend to weekend,
from boyfriend to boyfriend (or girlfriend!) and that's their focus. So
much of it is superficial and that's such a waste of what could be SUCH
a valuable season of life! Of course it's fine to enjoy being a teen,
but I think they can be so underestimated. The teen years can be such
an incredible time of growth, learning and preparation."
Lucy, remembering her own school experiences, also wants to encourage
the kids they encounter to be more proactive. "I wasn't actually aware
when I was making decisions. We want to show kids that if they are following
the crowd, they're making decisions they may regret later. We want to
make them aware that they are at an age where they can make their own
decisions."
But don't try to get V*Enna to play favorites by favoring one country
or type of ministry over the other. "We're excited that God has given
us two avenues to go down," Sharnessa insists.
"More than anything, we want to be a bit of love in their lives," explains
Lucy.
