Interviewer: When and how have you decided to write and sing Christian songs? Answer: It was caused mainly by an absolutely concrete prophecy made through a group of prophets about me (by the way it happened at the very place where Jesus had His Sermon on the Mount). God said that in a time He would use me for a musical service and many saved souls would be a result of it. I put it into my heart and waited when the Lord would call me for this work. One of the main services of the Christian church - evangelization and preaching to unbelievers can hardly be found in Israel. According to the law of that country missioners are viewed as criminals and can be imprisoned up to two years only if they keep the New Testament or distribute Christian literature. But the Word of God says: "Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." (Matthew 5:15) Therefore I began to write songs for evangelization. Interviewer: How do you write your songs? Answer: As a rule it is not planned and it happens wherever and whenever He wants. I remember how I worked as a loader at a factory of plastic pumps and once I felt a sudden wish to stop and having put a sheet of paper on my knees I started to write a text. It seemed to have been strange for another loaders but the Lord told me to write - so I should obey and write! All the songs were written this way. Arrangements and records were done with prayer certainly. Interviewer: What does music mean for you? Answer: First of all music is the instrument to praise the Lord, an armour to conquer the souls, besides something very beautiful, a tool that God gave people from His gracious hand (if only they could manage to use it in a correct way). Interviewer: Who do you write and perform music for? Answer: Certainly, my songs are intended mostly for young people who do not know God. This is the way I think but what God thinks nobody knows. So I can not say it for sure Interviewer: Where do you have concerts? Answer: There are some reasons why I do not have concerts today. I can not organize everything on my own, I am short of time, lack of money and opportunities (but I want it greatly and realize that there is a will of God in it). I just need a kind of push. If somebody wants to cooperate I am always ready to answer. Interviewer: What are your plans for the future? Answer: I do not know but anyway they are connected with what God plans for my life. Interviewer: Tell us please how you became a believer. Andrey Levin: I was about to move to Israel when one thing happened to me. I was unbeliever at that time but once at night I said aloud even not realizing what I was doing: "God if You exist please let me come to Israel and maybe I would play for You". By the way that phrase was so unexpected for me because I did not even think about such a thing then. Being a drug-addict and a fan of the groups like "Pink Floyd" and "Doors" I treated all the believers and Christian musicians only with mockery. But I believe that my Heavenly Father lead me to salvation in Jesus Christ. On my arrival to the Holy Land I began to go to church "Morning Star" where with the lapse of the time I repented. Step by step the Lord lead me to the service. Now I play in worship group and work over a new evangelization project. But the most important is in future. We just have to follow Jesus wherever He calls us.
