Operation
Nehemiah... Rebuilding the Sudan
- Vince gets involved in helping out persecuted Christians via his
radio show, "Perspectives." Vince and Peg hosted a three
part series on the worldwide persecution of Christians. With the help
of Joe Brennan, original drummer of The Pigeons and now minister for
C.A.R.E., they featured Reverend William Levi, founder and CEO of
Operation Nehemiah Missions in the Sudan. William escaped the Sudan
after the violent and intolerant Muslim regime in power emprisoned
him and tortured him for being a Christian. Millions of others were
not so fortunate... He has since returned to his country to try and
help rebuild his village and help some of the millions of displaced
Christians return to their homeland. Check out William's website, and
find out how you can get involved in stopping the torture and
persecution of Christians in the Sudan and Darfur.

Before
Vanilla Fudge was Vanilla Fudge, they were The Pigeons. It was Vince,
Mark Stein, Tim Bogert and drummer Joe Brennan(left). After Joe left
The Pigeons, he went on to work with Bonnie Bramlett, The Duprees,
The Younger Brothers, Howell, Johnny Charles Blues Band, and The Red
Legs (a British Band). Joe is also a big part of a ministry touring
prisons in the United States, South America, Israel and Europe. Joe
has been performing with Vince and the band regularly this year,

New York. |
