Jesus Christ Really Does Change Lives

Gramazin is now a 501c3!

It sure seems strange to jump for joy after receiving a letter from the Internal Revenue Service. However, that is exactly what I did on Monday November 25, 2024. The letter officially declared that Gramazin Inc. is now a 501c3 non-profit. Any donation to Gramazin after April of 2024 can now be declared as a tax deduction. Within hours of announcing our 501c3 status we began to receive donations from those who had pledged to give to Gramazin Inc.

It has been a long wait for the 501c3 status. We applied for the status back in March. I am grateful for our attorney who demonstrated godly patience with me as I bugged him every few weeks the past few months wanting him to do something to speed up the process. However, the government has a backlog of applications and there was nothing else we could do but to wait for the letter to come in God's timing. It was apparently His will that we receive this letter this week.

My friend, it is our mission at Gramazin Inc. to encourage and equip believers in Jesus Christ to prepare and share their testimonies with their family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. It is also our mission to encourage churches to publish believer testimonies within their congregations.

2024 has been a year of great progress in this mission. Almost a dozen churches have already expressed a desire to embrace our mission. The Gramazin mission has now spread across the US thanks to our radio ministry and the hard work of our paid and volunteer staff.

However, Gramazin has advanced through the use of the funds made available to me through an inheritance after the passing of my mother. Those funds will soon run out.

If you enjoy what we are doing and believe Gramazin will have a significant impact on spiritual revival in America, please prayerfully consider donating to Gramazin Inc. today. You will receive a letter from us in early 2025 that you can use as you prepare your 2024 taxes. May God bless you today!

Welcome to Mercurio-Wagner Music!

Peter Mercurio and I are two grandfathers in our sixties, with no previous experience in songwriting. We dare to believe that God has given us the skill to write music at our age that will touch lives for Christ. The lyrics to our songs will encourage listeners to confess their sin, receive Christ as their savior, repent of their rebellion from God, pursue godly living, and serve the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

It is our goal to produce music that reminds our "classic" listeners of the best of secular music of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. We hope the music of our songs reminds our listeners of names like Buddy Holly, Carly Simon, John Denver, the Beatles, the Flamingos, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Tears for Fears, Coldplay, The Little River Band, Supertramp, U2, and other artists from not-so-long ago.

I am pleased to announce that we will release our first song, This Christmas Eve, on December 1. The song can be enjoyed on our website as well as on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube Music, Amazon, Pandora, iHeartRadio and other music streaming applications.

The song is about a woman who longs for her guy to receive Christ as his savior. She dreams of a Christmas Eve when his heart has changed. However, she eventually gives up, praying that the Lord would change his heart someday. A crisis comes into his life and he turns his heart to Jesus Christ. The woman celebrates that his heart has changed This Christmas Eve.

What does the song have to do with Gramazin? It is our prayer and our strategy that the release of this song will rapidly spread awareness of the Gramazin mission throughout all 50 states.

Peter and I would like to thank Amarya Danaé for her wonderful singing of our song. She is a godly young lady from North Carolina who is an inspiring Christian artist. Please visit her Apple Music page and enjoy her music.
