Change is here

We told you a while ago that change is coming. Well, it has arrived.

YMCtheband no longer exists!

That’s because we’re You. Me. Change. Yes, that’s what we’re called these days friends!

Life has proven time and time again that change is the only constant. And we’re okay with that. In order to live, one must be willing to accept and embrace change. In this period of hibernation we've watched how the world was changing around us: currencies once thought to have been stable have faltered; politicians have come and gone; new policies threaten life as we know it - the entire world is in a state of shift, a shift in the way we think, see, live and love.

And so too, we have changed. It’s something we know God has instructed, and continue to trust Him.

YMCtheband has been a voice in the wilderness to many youth and those young at heart, for many years -addressing ISSUES others would have rather ignored and hoped would disappear, in a way many have thought to be rather unorthodox.

We keep pressing on! Our drive to see lives changed through our music has propelled us to this place. A place of new members, new sound, new songs, new ambition, new ideas, new revelation and finally, a new name: You. Me. Change

Who is "You. Me. Change"?

This is not just our name, and involves not only the band members. Instead, You. Me. Change refers to you too. Anyone living in this world with the capability to change it. That’s You. Me. Change

If any of you share your God given light with the rest of this world then you carry the name too. Together, You and Me Changing the world one step at a time. That's still our destination!

You. Me. Change is the lifestyle that remains long after our instruments are unplugged and the lights go out. We are your voice... and when the world refuses to listen to you we will sing of your pain, heartache, joy and victory.

There’s so much more we want to tell you. In time!

Look out for more info regarding the new album and other stuff happening on the facebook and twitter pages, our blog, as well as the media.

Please note, due to facebook settings, we may have to open up a new page with the name change. Please join us once we've started the new page - and thank you for your patience.

We really appreciate your continuous support and we covet your prays during this time of change and beyond.

God is a God who moves... and we’re dedicated to move when He says so.

Love always,

You.Me.Change

Change is coming

We haven't met many who like change. But you all know that old saying, "the only constant in life is change" and change is inevitable. As God works on us, we anticipate great change.


We're really excited, and there's so much we'd like to tell you - but in time. Just know, we are determined to give God only excellence and therefore, we embrace change.

We're reminded, in Joshua 1:9, to be strong and courageous. We will not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord our God is with us - wherever we go. 

We hope, if there is a change you are facing that you find encouragement in this.


So, stay tuned and know that change is on the way.


Love,
YMCtheband

Glisson Niekerk leaves YMCtheband

After seven years, more than one hundred public appearances and countless memories made, Glisson is leaving YMCtheband.

The news is as a result of Glisson’s desire to pursue a career in Event Management. In August 2011, Glisson will start this journey in Dubai.

While we’re sad that he will no longer be in the band, we celebrate with him as he embarks on this exciting journey. Besides, we have not lost the relationship we have with him as he will always be our brother and friend.

Glisson has been instrumental in YMCtheband and he has had a great season!

“YMCtheband was not just a singing career but a calling. We (supporters, management and band) had great times together; we cried, sang, laughed, danced and praised God.

Thank you for creating memorable experiences. You have touched my life in so many ways and inspired me to dream big. I'm pushing myself forward and deeper into another (God given) gift that I've always wanted to do but never had the guts to. After searching, listening and learning; I've finally decided to make a move!


I will continue to support the vision of YMCtheband, and trust me I will check up on you! I love you guys very, very much.

Continue to fight for excellence in Christian music; do your very best and God will take care of everything else. I would like to encourage everyone to find their gift and exercise it. We all have a God given gift; and if we seek God first He will do the rest. Thank you Jesus for an awesome season in YMCtheband: it was an honor and great privilege to serve. To God be all the glory!” 

Meanwhile, we are continuing towards our second album, and expect God to move mightily in the coming months. Our vision to reach the masses for Jesus has not changed, and we’re excited about the ways in which we’ll do so moving forward. Stay tuned!

Currently, we are not looking to replace Glisson in the band. He will join us in ministry one more time this weekend - on Saturday, 23^rd July 2011, 18:30 at Extension 1 Hall in Ennerdale, Johannesburg for New Life Ministry Youth Conference 2011 - join us!

Love, always.
YMCtheband
