M.A.P. Ministries was started in the summer of 2018 by Mia Rosado (14) and Joshua De Senna (16) with a desire to impact youth with sacred music. Using their musical gifts, they began making arrangements and sharing their music in church services. Before they knew it, they had begun a music ministry. Over the last year, Mia and Josh have also collaborated with other young musicians, performing concerts all over Southern California and a few in Central California as well. In addition, they have performed at Southwest GYC, Modern Manna’s Health and Healing Summit and have been invited several times on LLBN (Loma Linda Broadcasting Network). Singing and playing acoustic guitar, violin, piano and sometimes even ukelele, their sound is fresh, sacred and relevant.

​

Through composing their own arrangements to hymns and contemporary music and even writing their own songs, they are able to impact other youth and encourage them to use their gifts for the Lord. Interestingly, not only are the youth touched by their music but also the young at heart, as they frequently minister in nursing homes. M.A.P. has been very well received by churches, usually resulting in rebooking concerts. They are busy performing concerts and playing at special events throughout the year, but are continuing to develop new projects. They recently launched “MapChats”, consisting of 3-5 minute discussions about topics of interest to Christian youth which are posted on their Instagram. They are also developing Q & A sessions and enjoy interviewing pastors of churches they visit.

 

With the generous donations of various churches, they recently released their first album, Give God the Glory, and produced four music videos which may be seen on www.mapministries.com, YouTube and Facebook. With some of the donated funds they received, they also were able to sponsor 50% of the cost for three teens to attend IYMC’s music camp this summer focusing on teen music ministry. In addition to recording another album this year, they will continue to use raised funds to pass it on and help disadvantaged youth take music lessons and attend music camps next summer. Little by little they are purchasing sound and video equipment to help them impact more youth through social media outlets. M.A.P. is most grateful to the Lord for the opportunity to share and inspire other youth and give back to Him.
