Children of Nepal


Here inside this school I found her looking at me, maybe wondering why I was there. She is one of 60 children crammed into two tiny class rooms and being fed a few cookies and milk for their lunch. And these are the others playing outside in the dirt street, looking in. No one could tell me what they were thinking. My heart was broken as I wept wondering just where will they be and what will become of them. Who will care about them, and what small part can I play to offer real hope and a love that can come and stay in their hearts forever.

Norman Hutchins God is Faithful Music Video w/ Lyrics

Faithful!

As we traveled through parts of India and Nepal this one simple song was the one most loved. Sitting on the floor and singing with brothers in the refugee camp or in small village churches this song was loved. I had picked this because with the limited English of some of the churches I wanted a song that had a simple message. If they could only sing the word "faithful" then all the rest would flow. I remember at the top of a small mountain singing in a little church I had been afraid to visit (You needed to see the road!). They were so thrilled we had come and I was humbled as they sang with all their hearts. How foolish I felt for doubting and fearing! God is faithful! God has been faithful and never changes. Ask God to put a new song in your heart today, then wait on Him. He is faithful to perform His word!
One of God's little ones

When the Holy Spirit Sings

When two or more are gathered in my name; there I will be also... Has Jesus been invited to our worship time? When we are together worshiping, the Holy Spirit wants to come and speak to us. Sometimes He is speaking but we cannot hear him.He sings over us but the melody is silent to our ears. But when we invite Jesus' presence in our worship...then Jesus comes and sings in our worship. Then the Holy Spirit will begin to talk with us. He will put in us his heart, his directions and his will.  When Jesus begins to sing He begins to heal, touch, restore and prepare us for His plans.
