4 Wednesday, April 3, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Oregon songwriter to visit Sisters Acclaimed musician Ryan Stevenson will visit Sisters on April 27. Hosted at Westside Sisters Saturday night, the Christian songwriter and musician will perform a special event for a ticketed audience. Stevenson is an award- winning artist born and raised in Oregon. His background in music developed from a childhood attending church and listening to worship and gospel music. At age 18, he was given his first guitar by his youth pastor, and from there his desire to perform music blossomed. After attending col- lege at Northwest Christian University he began to develop his musical talent by performing in small venues throughout Eugene with a small band he and his room- mate formed. Since then, he has performed at some of the largest Christian events including Creation West, Fish Fest, and other top Christian festivals. Currently serving as the worship leader at Vertical Church in Boise, Idaho, Stevenson9s musical career is a far cry from his previous seven years as a paramedic. But his career in music, launched only 12 years ago, has led him on a journey of recognition and reward. Grammy Award-winning Christian artist TobyMac discovered Stevenson after releasing his debut record in 2007, <Running to You,= and later in 2010 his EP <Yesterday, Today, and Forever.= <Ryan is an impressive songwriter who understands the delicate balance of writ- ing songs about his faith and walking it out in a cold, cold world,= said TobyMac. <He never shies away from a 8Jesus9 lyric, 8cause he is fully aware of where his strength comes from.= After soloing his first albums, Stevenson later signed on with Gotee Records with CEO TobyMac where he co-wrote <Speak Life,= a song featured on TobyMac9s best-selling Grammy Award- winning record, <Eye On It.= With six appearances in Billboard magazine and a 15-week featured No. 1 single, <Eye of the Storm,= from the Gotee album, <Fresh Start,= Stevenson9s music has risen to a new era of Christian music in recent years. Jerry Kaping, lead pastor at Westside Sisters, said, <we are so excited to have an artist like Ryan here in Sisters. It is not every day that God brings a Grammy Award-winner to perform in Sisters. We believe Ryan is the beginning of a long list of amazing artists, speakers, and leaders that will be coming to this city, to this church.= All audiences are welcome to attend the event.

Not long after, there9s another rape and the DNA test shows that the same person committed both rapes 4 which is seemingly impos- sible since the man convicted of the first rape was in prison at the time of the second one. Now, the convicted athlete, joined by a new lawyer, is granted a new trial and bail. Shortly thereafter, his origi- nal lawyer disappears and his law partner is murdered.
