09.23.08 Well we're a little behind on posting it here due to the sheer busy-ness involved... But we are thrilled to announce the birth of our first child, a son, Keaton Daniel Macaulay! He was born on Monday August 25th at 1:55 am. Weighing 8 lbs 3 oz and measuring 20.5 inches long. He is amazing (and the cutest ever) and we thank God for him everyday! You can see lots of pics of him on Facebook here, here, here, and here! This, on top of moving our home base to a wonderful church in Greenwich CT, Harvest Time, has had us very busy as of late. But in the best possible way! We're loving every minute and God's timing is perfect. We want you to know we have new music on the horizon though (as you know from our vlogs!) and it's still coming!

We're in the middle of a little World Vision emphasis tour this month and its going great! We've seen about 62 children sponsored in the last 3 weekends in the U.S. and Canada!

You'll be glad you did. 11.02.07 Catch Dan & band LIVE on the Valley Forge Christian College Chapel webcast this Monday morning Nov 5th at 10:00am EST!

Tune in and worship with us! 08.15.07 Well, since my last post here we've been in Massachusetts at "Webstock" and Connecticut at our "other home church" where I used to Pastor, Harvest Time Church International.Its been great! Prior to that I led at a few camps including Burnfest in Ottawa where GOD WAS ON THE MOVE in a big way with huge breakthroughs and healings. Such freedom in worship! I'm excited to be going back to Ottawa for Worship This Day on Sept 9th!!

We are so blessed to be able to minister like we do. We're back from an amazing excursion into the U.S.A. First it was Texas for some ministry and the IWI Worship Institute; then Chalmette Louisianna for some Gulf rebuilding; and lastly Great Mills, Maryland for some more youth and church ministry! We had some of the craziest connecting-flight and travel issues ever and at one point I led worship and spoke after being up 36 hours straight! But God was with us through it all and we got to be a part of so many great things! Too much to list. We have a bunch of pics from Louisianna and last month's Dominican Republic trip posted for ya finally. Tomorrow we take off again for some summer camps! Also, you might notice 2 NEW sections in this website! First, there's "texts" where I'll be texting you some messages on the road from time to time from my cell. You can leave me messages there as well and I will respond as best I can! Also, you can sign up to get a free mobile text message alert if I'm coming to your area! Second, if the Lord places it on your heart, we now have a "Partners" program where those who believe in our vision and feel called to help empower us do more ministry with less financial burden can do so. Thank you all for your prayers and support! Have a GREAT day Dan 06.11.07 WOW WHAT A WEEK!! Hey all! Dan here. What an amazing and exhausting week this has been! Our trip to The Dominican Republic with World Vision from Monday to Thursday was incredible! What an AWESOME work they are doing. Better than I even realized. We were blown away at how they manage to transform the lives of the poor in an entire area. The way they empower and disciple them to multiply their resources is incredible. If you don't sponsor all the children you can afford to yet you need to invest more! The Dominican pastors in the area gathered and met with us on the last day and before we left they prayed over us in such power! God is on the move in The Dominican! Hanging out with the other Canadian Artists on the trip was a blast too. We'll try and get some pics posted here for you real soon! Keep an eye out. - Then Friday night in Oakville I had the privilege of opening for Darrell Evans which was really great. Darrel was super friendly and is so much more than an excellent song writer and leader. The way he moved freely that night in preaching, prophecy and healing gifts was inspiring to me personally! - Then Saturday night at Worship This Day in Ottawa we had an amazing night. What a great sense of the Presence of The Lord! I led a NEW SONG of mine I'm excited about and it felt great! Can't wait to record it for you guys! Roxanne Sowerby of Extreme Prophetic Ottawa spoke and we saw around a dozen salvations and around 2 dozen healings or so. I'm already looking forward to the next W.T.D. 3 months from now. - Lastly, first thing this morning (Monday) I visited Kingsbridge school of the arts in Burlington and sang a few songs and shared with the kids about what I do. Good times. There is no success without succession! - So all in all its been a crazy-busy week. My head is spinning and my voice is sore but it was all worth it! Thanks for your prayers and support and we'll post some pictures here for you really soon! Blessings Dan 02.16.07 DAN TO OPEN FOR BRIAN DOERKSEN IN MAY! You can catch Dan opening up for Brian Doerksen on Thurs May 3rd in London Ontario! Hosted by Unite Productions and North Park Community Church. This awesome night will definately sell out!!

Information: crossorads.ca 01.26.07 DAN WINS 2 SHAI AWARDS! The 2007 Shai Awards (The Canadian Gospel Music People's Choice Awards) were handed out last night in Edmonton Alberta & Dan walked away with both awards he was nominated for! Dan was nominated & won for both Worship Album of the year & Male Vocalist of the year. Dan sends out a huge thanks to all of you who voted for him online. In his acceptance speeches Dan also thanked "The Lord for the privaledge of leading His people in worship for a living." He went on to thank his parents and family on all sides for believeing in him rather than telling him to 'go get a real job'. He also thanked those who had inspired him along the way including Mark & Andrea Giancola, Paul Scibetta, and Harvest Time Church where most of Captured Again's songs were birthed. Lastly Dan thanked his wife Danielle saying "I could not do this without her. She believes in me and carries me though the rough days when nothing's clicking. She works just as hard or harder at this than me and all in the background where no one sees. She's the best thing that ever happened to me." Again, thanks to all of you who voted online. These awards were won by your votes. Thank you so much for your support!! :)
