Newly Launched Musicworldringtones.com Donates Portion of Sales to Assist in Keeping Open the Doors of Houston-Based Christian Elementary School Founded By Pastors Rudy and Juanita Rasmus

Now through December 31, 2006, a portion of all ringtones and wallpapers sold on Musicworldringtones.com will be donated to the St. John's Academy

Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 10, 2006 -- Record labels Music World Music and Spirit Rising Music, run by music-manager Mathew Knowles, have announced that a portion of the sales from the newly launched musicworldringtones.com will be donated to Pastor Rudy Rasmus' (Pastor Rudy) and the St. John's United Methodist Church education fund to keep the doors of St. John's Academy open. The elementary school, founded in 1999 serves the needs of Houston's neediest children.

"I've always had a passion to help those who are less fortunate," says Knowles. "I couldn't stand by and watch such a dynamic institution as the St. John's Academy succumb to financial losses. If it's in my power, I will support the school's annual funding so that a close call like this never happens again."

The St. John Academy has been the cornerstone of Pastor Rudy's Ministry, which opened its doors to thousands of disadvantaged individuals and families dealing with everything from AIDS to homelessness. Recently, a major portion of the Academy's annual funding was lost, nearly forcing the doors of school to be closed. Now through December 31, 2006, a portion of all ringtones and wallpapers sold on Musicworldringtones.com will be donated to the St. John's Academy to firmly assure that the school remains open and able to operate.

"We have learned that HIV/AIDS affects the entire family and we have also seen the positive impact of a loving, nurturing environment. That is the importance of St. John's Academy," says Pastor Rudy. "It not only positively impresses the lives of the affected children, but also the lives of the infected parents. In an effort to preserve such a fundamental tool for disadvantaged children, Musicworldringtones.com foresaw the importance of maintaining such a wonderful program and opted to help."
