“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.” 1 John 3:16 (NIV)
God loved us so profoundly that He gave us everything we could ever need… mercy, grace, forgiveness, and eternal life that can only be found through His son Jesus Christ. The core message of the Gospel is to give yourself away to God, your family, your neighbors, and to the entire world. When we “give ourselves away” we experience firsthand the love of God and the purpose of our existence.
The bonus “Give Away” disc included with our new album, Give Yourself Away, is intended for you to “give away” to a loved one, neighbor, co-worker, or stranger that needs to hear a message of hope, forgiveness, and salvation.
We ask that you do the following:
1. LISTEN to all of the songs on the album and pay close attention to the message of the lyrics
2. PRAY that God would lay someone on your heart that needs to hear these songs for encouragement, hope, and ministry.
3. GIVE the bonus “Give Away” disc to that person and pray that God will open their eyes and their heart to His love.
4. FOLLOW-UP a few days later and let them know that you have been thinking about them and praying for them. Ask what they thought of the songs and see if there is anything you can do for them (in prayer or deed.)
5. WRITE their name down on an index card and stick it in your bible to help you remember to pray for them and then continue to check on them as you build that friendship.
6. WATCH what God will do.
7. SHARE with us your story of how God used your NewSong Bonus “Give Away” Disc to impact someone else here — just share your story to the right!
It is our prayer that God uses this music, you, and NewSong for His honor and Glory.
Hi there Newsong I just want too thank you for all you do for all the kids out there in America and thanks for letting us hear your music I would like too ask you a favor when you are in Macon Georgia would you hit me up and let me know I have some soilders that are left behind they are supporting our troops while they are serving in the middle east and they are the 48th Brigiade her in Macon and surronding areas if you could have them come too your concert and reconize them doing the concert then please let me know by emailing me at alan090902@yahoo.com I think that we need too honor these men and women at the concert that night please et me know and may Jesus Christ Bless each one of you on this great tour and bless of the groups that are performing there with you may Jesus Christ get all the glory.
God used this same concept in my life when a friend gave me his 2nd cassette (it was the 80s mind you) shortly after he’d introduced me to contemporary Christian music. It was a few years later that I became a Christ follower, and I have every confidence that God used many of those songs- including that cassette. May He use your gracious giving to reach others for Christ as well!
Brothers in God,
I am new to the christian music scene and only within the last 8 months have I begun to listen to Klove on the radio. I traveled to Monoe Michigan to (believe it or not) to see Big Daddy Weave but my heart & eyes swelled with tears as I saw Newsong sing from the heart. I was instantly taken back to the roots of my belief. I purchased the CD, listened to it on the 4 hour back drive home. I talked to God alot on that drive. I played the song “Give Yourself Away” over and over. It took a few days to know what God was saying through your music. I have dedicated myself to giving all I have to the mission of the Red Cross. I now go out to the victims of Home fires to give comfort and shelter. I am getting ready to become a foster parent. I am blessed to be able to do these things and I thank you for starting me on the path to giving myself away. Be safe on your travels. Please continue with Holt Internation.. because every Child deserves a home.
I gave the bonus CD to one of my high school teachers. She has been going through some hard times this year. She missed 2 months of the school at the begining of the year because her husband had an accident at his job, where he fell in so very hot water and got first, second, and third degree burns all over his body. So all year i have been giving her bible verses after bible verses to help her get through everything, so i thought that giving her your CD will make here fell better.
Thanks for reading this. You guys are great. Keep making people happy.

I got my CD at winter jam and before I got it I knew who I needed to share it with. Been wanting to get CD at Christmas but didn’t get a chance. I have a co-worker that we have gotten to know each other she is really cool but going through a lot. I couldn’t wait to see her Friday the night after getting it. Today when I got to work she let me know how much she loved it. It really opened the door with her. Her mom really thinks I am saving her but I said it’s the Lord. The Lord brings people in your life at times you don’t know why. But she is such a uplift to me. Now she can’t wait to go next year. I wish she wasn’t getting back from her trip so she could have gone Thursday with us.She wants to start to go to church with us and her son.I work for Hospice. I know the Lord has me doing this job for a reason I get to meet so many people and what a great way to show God’s love with who I meet.Thank you guys so much for coming out with this CD. It is so uplifting in many ways.Can’t wait till next year till then keep sharing God’s love it is the best thing ever he changed my life in so many ways.By the way I took my kids and to watch them worship the Lord best feeling to see that. Thank you. God bless
I attended 2010 WinterJam in Greensboro, NC. After I received the Give Yourself Away CD, I did as asked and prayed for guidance as to who the CD belonged to. I kept coming back to the same name, Jacob. This young man is my manager’s son and she had mentioned that he was really into church. And ya know, just hate it when I try to guess around God…but I did and thought, “If this young man is in church, are you sure…” Well, this guy never left my mind and I have not even met him. Yesterday I took the CD, and gave it to her, asked her to please give it to her son.
I explained where the CD came from, the purpose of the CD, and went on to share the lyrics that I had just listened to about surviving without hope. She looked at me kind of funny…and this is the young man’s story…He is going through a very rough time right now…a strained relationship with his father, dropped out of college after Christmas, and involved with a church that does not have strong biblical ties..(almost cultish). I was once again humbled and ashamed that I had questioned God. So as you said at WinterJam..Stay tuned for the rest of the story…….
Last night, I was at the Winter Jam concert in Augusta, Ga., when I heard about your deal with the c.d. give away. I had two dollars in my pocket, and I knew this was something that me and my friends had to do. I gave a dollar to one friend who didn’t have money and I kept a dollar so we could get the c.d.s. Before I even got to the table I already had a peace about who should get the second c.d.- my parents. I was blessed to grow up in a household where my parents put God first in their marriage and we put him first as a family. However, the road has not been easy for us. My mom has faced death many times in her life. When she was sixteen, she walked away from a car accident that claimed her mothers life. When she gave birth to me, she suffered complications that left her in the hospital for a week. She now lives with constant pain from spinal arthritis and nerve damage. She is on multiple medicines because of diabetes and COPD. For the last few weeks, my family had been waiting for the news of my mothers breast biopsy and we got the news the day before the concert that it was negative for cancer. My father has always worked hard to take care of his family. He is an Desert Storm and Iraq Veteran who lives with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have faced my own battles as well. Needless to say, God has worked in our lives. Our family motto is, He has brought us through so much that he is not gonna leave us here. But even knowing all of that, it gets hard for the three of us. We try to bear each others problems, be each others cheerleaders. But it gets hard when sometimes when it is just the three of us cheering. That is why I knew to get the cd for my parents. I knew that maybe after they’ve had a long day, that your music could be part of their cheerleading section.
Thanks and God Bless,
Rachel Kee

Went to Winter Jam in Fayetteville, NC and Greensboro, NC. Because I live in Fayetteville and Greensboro is 2 hours through State roads which are kinda rural in places, a friend of mine who normally goes to concerts with me, stayed at my home with my mom who is 88 years old so that I could spend the night in Greensboro after that show. I bought the CD which is phenomenal BTW.I thought about who to give it to. I was thinking of who I could bring to Christian Music with the CD.I wanted it to be special. The next day or so, I was led to give the CD to my friend who stayed with my mom. The reason she didn’t go was because I bought the VIP Partnership Pass to both shows and she couldn’t afford to go VIP to either so didn’t go to either show. I also bought an extra copy of the Newsboys EP without knowing who I was going to give that to either. I gave both to my friend. She was very happy to receive them and I feel like I brought a little of Winter Jam to her! God Bless you and the tour!
I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for your obedience!!! In August 2005 my Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer and on January 2, 2006 he went to his new home called Heaven! Then 4 months to the day my Dad passed away – my brother – (my only sibling) (30 yrs. old) went to Heaven also!! So I had been held hostage by death and grief for the last 4 years of my life due to all of the loss! I Couldn’t serve my family or my church or my Jesus because of the grip it had on my life!! That is until on the morning of December 28, 2009 in Branson, MO. as I was standing there at Extreme Winter and was listening to you all sing “Arise My Love” is when God literally reached down into my very being and took my grief!!! I felt Him take it!!! I heard Him literally say to me — NO GRAVE can keep them, NO MORE death’s sting!! You will see them again and your circle will never be broken again!!!! It was so amazing!!!! I am a new woman and I can’t thank Him enough for the change and touch He has placed on my life!!! Everywhere I go I want to shout about what He did in my life that very day!!! He truly is Amazing and Awesome!!!! So just to let you know He is using you all to minister!! Hearts and lives are being changed through your obedience!! So for that I say a BIG THANK YOU to JESUS and YOU!!!! Keep it up!!!!
I was at WinterJam 2010 in Chattanooga and I absolutely fell in love with this song. I would really like to sing this song for my congregation. Is there a way for me to get sheet music or an accompanyment CD for this song?
hello i went to your cincinnati winter jam show we have a young man in our church who loves god with all his heart but our small church could not get a van to bring him to the show he has MS and when he sings in our church he sings with his heart people make fun but god our lord hears his voice loud and clear please keep rocking four the lord and i hope to bring Mikey to your next years show and thanks to newsong and Russ Lee for signing his CD , Ron
Got the cd yesterday as a gift from my wife, read the challenge for giving away the bonus CD. Had a co-worker today having a difficult time, his brother was being sentenced to 40 years in prison today. Felt God speak that he was the one to give the disc too. Song number 7 GOD HEARS is for him. Thanks for sharing this free disc to give away the love and hope to one that was hurting.

I am a 7th grade special education teacher. A few teachers and a I started an after school christian club for students. Last year we had 15 and we average 30 each week. We had some busses donated by a local church to take them to WinterJam in Cincinnati. Most of them had never been to a concert before. I was going to use the CD to give away to our group in a drawing. I was talking to one of my students who said she had been cutting herself. She asked what the CD was and I told her. She took home my copy to listen to it and said she liked it. So I got out my extra copy and gave it to her. She was excited and now I have an outlet to talk to her.
Hey newsong,
I attended Winter Jam 2010 at the Mitchell Center in Mobile, AL with my brother and cousin. We enjoyed going the music was great. We only had a dollar left when you announced about the C.D but when we got it and listened to it we thoroughly enjoyed it. So did my cousin who we gave the gift C.D too. She was so happy to get that C.D, she listens to it all the time. Thanks so much.. God Bless.
Hey Newsong we attended our first Winter Jam concert this year at the James Brown Arena in Augusta Ga. Believe me we have defintly had an awesome experience to remember and most definatly want to attend next years. The cd give away was truly a gift indeed 5 dollars left to our name got us one and the following night it snowed about 5 inches of course shutting the whole country down because the south is not ready for snow at any time. Coming home in our 4×4 Suburban we saw this lady stuck on a hill in a little 350z Nissan and pulled along side her and offered her some help. Well after about 30 minutes we managed to get her up the hill Chris drove her and the car home with me following in our vehicle. After talking with her for a few minutes we decided to give her the extra copy of your CD even though she told us that she didnt like gospel music but that if we gave it to her that she would defintly listen to it. Well she played it at work and LOVED it came to out house and left us her card on our door (she works for Aiken County Board of Education) and when we called her she offered to take us out for dinner for our generousity and thoughtfulness and is thinking of attending church with us on Sunday so heres our share your story hope it brought a smile to your faces…God Bless you!
wow! what an awesome idea from the most talented group of guys ive ever heard. as a church of christ minister i catch some heat for listening to contemporary christian music . but my wife and i love hopping in the car and putting newsong in the cd player. we gave our bonus copy to her sister who had just gone through neck and spine surgery and she fell in love with the music and the message. every song you write and sing is powerful and brings glory to the master. keep rocking!
I went to the WinterJam tour that was in Charlottesville, VA this past weekend. It was just wonderful. As you guys started talking about your new cd, I knew I had to get it. Then we you said that there was a second cd to give to someone else I immediately knew who to give it to. She is a teacher that I used to work with. She is such a wonderful person. I have wanted to bless her with something for a while.Ii listened to the cd (which is wonderful!!!) I prayed Saturday night for her and confirmation this was infact the person I was to give the cd to. Sunday morning I had another teacher’s name in my mind to give the cd to. This other teacher found out that due to budget cuts he will not have a job next year. He has had a tough school year. I asked God which one I was to give the cd to and He said both. So, today after work I slipped the cds into their mailboxes with a note. It felt so good to bless those two. Thank you guys so much. This is such a wonderful idea.
newsong! guys this is an amazing idea. I gave the songs to my friend thats having a hard time and he had a huge smile on his face and gave me a hug it made me really happy!
Actually, when I ‘bought’ this CD set in my mind I had it to send to my brother. He could use a good message in his music. But somehow it ended up in my husbands car… I’ve been asking lots of close friends to pray for him(husband) because he uses alcohol and tobacco regularly and hasn’t been going to church with me in quite a while. After much coercion and frustration I’ve all but given up. There’s nothing I myself can do. It’s between him and God. So, my brother can still use some music with a good message (and I WILL get that to him) but for now, I’m glad that it’s taken up residence in my husbands car…our Lord works in mysterious ways ) ♥
When I went to WinterJam and bought these CD’s I already knew who i was going to give it to. But, I noticed someone in my life who needed some encouragement. I ended up giving it to my amazing language arts teacher. she played it in our class even. I am glad that she is enjoying it, and I let her know I am praying for her everyday. I hope she knows that we appreciate her so much! Thanks for all the experiences Ms. B!
I saw you for the first time last night in Moline, IL. Certain songs that you and the other bands sang hit my heart strings. I really needed that message as i have lost my last living grandparent about a month ago. Last night was a way for my to grieve. It was a release of pent up emotions. Thank you for allowing the world to hear God’s word from your wonderful voices.
My daughter recieved this cd at winterfest from a friend and we have listened to it over and over. Amazing lyrics that she can understand!!! Thank you for what you are doing!
I have followed this group for many years. I first heard them singing a song just prior to having brain surgery and during the time I was being put under was my defing moment and thought of the song they sang and was told I was uttering the song as I awoke from the anesthesia.
Just thought I would let you all know that I have enjoyed this winter Jam 2010. I just wanted to let you know with the message that was given tonight by tony nolan was just so powerful my two nieces and I accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior for the first time. I am pleased to announce that from this day forward the Lord has seriously got a hold of us. I am so blessed even though my nieces are 10 and 11 years old after the prayer was said they have and will never forget that the Lord Jesus will always be there. I pray that the CD’s that were purchased tonight at winter Jam 2010 at Van Andel Arena will bless my two nieces. Oh I forgot I also got a CD to as well. I have decided to give it to my boss at work tomorrow. May the Lord Bless You and Keep You. Please stay in contact with me it would be greatly appreciated. And Yes I do give you all permission to use this testimony. While attending other winter jams or concerts. Please fill free. I pray that the Lord will touch somebody’s else’s heart just as it did for us. Please contact me and let me know what you think about this. I would love to here from you guys as often as I can. God Bless and Be Safe on the Road.
I received this CD at a WinterJam concert with what little I had to give towards the purchase price. I (actually God) decided that I should give my CD to an older neighbor who I had only interacted with on occasion. I went to her door and told her that I had an extra CD I would like to share with her. She stated “I’m sure my cat will love listening to it!” For a second I stood there, unsure of what to say. She then added, “and I will too.” I will be following up with her soon. I pray that the CD touched her heart as it did mine. I will continue to look for opportunities to “Give Myself Away” and be open to how God wants to use me. Thank you!
i love the cd i listen to it ever night be4 i go to bed but my fav song on the cd is Every Child (Deserves A Home) its really good me and my 3 month old son listen to it and see the thing is im only 15 and i just got in to this kinda music lol my cuzin has cancer so i have done everything i can to proveto him tht i want her to stay so thnks for the cd and oh yeah yall did good at winter jam

Greetings i have just relocted to Baton Rouge, La from Atlanta to care for my 76yr mother, who has cancer and is vision impared in one of her eyes, after more then 35yrs of marriage my dad recently walked out on my mother leaving her to struggle with her illness and no resouces, since moving here i have not been able to locate full-time steady employment, only part-time temp work. Because i have no income coming in i had to give ym car back to the lean holder becasue i could not afford it. When i first arrive after seeing about my mother i began to look into i can i invest in someone else is life inspite of what i’m going thru how can i be a blessing to someone else so i walk to the soup kitchen to serve those in need, it’s sometimes good to get your focus off of your needs and began to meet the need of someone else even if i have to walk 15 blocks to hug someone,serve someone, Give away a blessing.
dear brothers in Christ Jesus, when you come to Brazil to rescue the tour and all components that recorded the DVD, including Michael O’Brien?
We praise singing and has built much my life and brought me to a deeper communion with God. The Brazil presisa the level of praise you produce. Come here.
A big hug and the Lord of lords continue to direct their lives and blessing the kingdom of God.
My husband and I attended the Newsong concert in Tifton, GA on April 17 and we bought a CD. I have been praying earnestly and asking God who I should give the CD to. This week, one of my dear friends lost her dad. She is so sad. And, she doesn’t have a church home. After I left her house yesterday, I just knew God was prompting me to send her the “giveaway” CD. I put it in the mail to her this morning. Please pray for my friend and her family as they go through this difficult time.
The song “God Hears” has touched my heart and life just now. I seem to be in a desert on my ministry and everything seems so much harder when I don’t know what He is doing. Your song reminds me that God is still in control and will eventually show me His will. This entire CD is one of you best ever. Thanks for allowing God to use you in the ways He does.
I really love the song of the title “When God made you”. It really a good song. I wondered who wrote that song and when that was made?
thank you God bless
Hi there Newsong I just want too thank you for all you do for all the kids out there in America and thanks for letting us hear your music I would like too ask you a favor when you are in Macon Georgia would you hit me up and let me know I have some soilders that are left behind they are supporting our troops while they are serving in the middle east and they are the 48th Brigiade her in Macon and surronding areas if you could have them come too your concert and reconize them doing the concert then please let me know by emailing me at alan090902@yahoo.com I think that we need too honor these men and women at the concert that night please et me know and may Jesus Christ Bless each one of you on this great tour and bless of the groups that are performing there with you may Jesus Christ get all the glory.

I am a 7th grade special education teacher. A few teachers and a I started an after school christian club for students. Last year we had 15 and we average 30 each week. We had some busses donated by a local church to take them to WinterJam in Cincinnati. Most of them had never been to a concert before. I was going to use the CD to give away to our group in a drawing. I was talking to one of my students who said she had been cutting herself. She asked what the CD was and I told her. She took home my copy to listen to it and said she liked it. So I got out my extra copy and gave it to her. She was excited and now I have an outlet to talk to her.
Hey newsong,
I attended Winter Jam 2010 at the Mitchell Center in Mobile, AL with my brother and cousin. We enjoyed going the music was great. We only had a dollar left when you announced about the C.D but when we got it and listened to it we thoroughly enjoyed it. So did my cousin who we gave the gift C.D too. She was so happy to get that C.D, she listens to it all the time. Thanks so much.. God Bless.
Hey Newsong we attended our first Winter Jam concert this year at the James Brown Arena in Augusta Ga. Believe me we have defintly had an awesome experience to remember and most definatly want to attend next years. The cd give away was truly a gift indeed 5 dollars left to our name got us one and the following night it snowed about 5 inches of course shutting the whole country down because the south is not ready for snow at any time. Coming home in our 4×4 Suburban we saw this lady stuck on a hill in a little 350z Nissan and pulled along side her and offered her some help. Well after about 30 minutes we managed to get her up the hill Chris drove her and the car home with me following in our vehicle. After talking with her for a few minutes we decided to give her the extra copy of your CD even though she told us that she didnt like gospel music but that if we gave it to her that she would defintly listen to it. Well she played it at work and LOVED it came to out house and left us her card on our door (she works for Aiken County Board of Education) and when we called her she offered to take us out for dinner for our generousity and thoughtfulness and is thinking of attending church with us on Sunday so heres our share your story hope it brought a smile to your faces…God Bless you!
wow! what an awesome idea from the most talented group of guys ive ever heard. as a church of christ minister i catch some heat for listening to contemporary christian music . but my wife and i love hopping in the car and putting newsong in the cd player. we gave our bonus copy to her sister who had just gone through neck and spine surgery and she fell in love with the music and the message. every song you write and sing is powerful and brings glory to the master. keep rocking!
I went to the WinterJam tour that was in Charlottesville, VA this past weekend. It was just wonderful. As you guys started talking about your new cd, I knew I had to get it. Then we you said that there was a second cd to give to someone else I immediately knew who to give it to. She is a teacher that I used to work with. She is such a wonderful person. I have wanted to bless her with something for a while.Ii listened to the cd (which is wonderful!!!) I prayed Saturday night for her and confirmation this was infact the person I was to give the cd to. Sunday morning I had another teacher’s name in my mind to give the cd to. This other teacher found out that due to budget cuts he will not have a job next year. He has had a tough school year. I asked God which one I was to give the cd to and He said both. So, today after work I slipped the cds into their mailboxes with a note. It felt so good to bless those two. Thank you guys so much. This is such a wonderful idea.
newsong! guys this is an amazing idea. I gave the songs to my friend thats having a hard time and he had a huge smile on his face and gave me a hug it made me really happy!
Actually, when I ‘bought’ this CD set in my mind I had it to send to my brother. He could use a good message in his music. But somehow it ended up in my husbands car… I’ve been asking lots of close friends to pray for him(husband) because he uses alcohol and tobacco regularly and hasn’t been going to church with me in quite a while. After much coercion and frustration I’ve all but given up. There’s nothing I myself can do. It’s between him and God. So, my brother can still use some music with a good message (and I WILL get that to him) but for now, I’m glad that it’s taken up residence in my husbands car…our Lord works in mysterious ways

When I went to WinterJam and bought these CD’s I already knew who i was going to give it to. But, I noticed someone in my life who needed some encouragement. I ended up giving it to my amazing language arts teacher. she played it in our class even. I am glad that she is enjoying it, and I let her know I am praying for her everyday. I hope she knows that we appreciate her so much! Thanks for all the experiences Ms. B!
I saw you for the first time last night in Moline, IL. Certain songs that you and the other bands sang hit my heart strings. I really needed that message as i have lost my last living grandparent about a month ago. Last night was a way for my to grieve. It was a release of pent up emotions. Thank you for allowing the world to hear God’s word from your wonderful voices.
i gave it to one of my friends that was goin gthrought some stuff. She gave her life to chirst.
My daughter recieved this cd at winterfest from a friend and we have listened to it over and over. Amazing lyrics that she can understand!!! Thank you for what you are doing!
I have followed this group for many years. I first heard them singing a song just prior to having brain surgery and during the time I was being put under was my defing moment and thought of the song they sang and was told I was uttering the song as I awoke from the anesthesia.
Hi Newsong,
Just thought I would let you all know that I have enjoyed this winter Jam 2010. I just wanted to let you know with the message that was given tonight by tony nolan was just so powerful my two nieces and I accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior for the first time. I am pleased to announce that from this day forward the Lord has seriously got a hold of us. I am so blessed even though my nieces are 10 and 11 years old after the prayer was said they have and will never forget that the Lord Jesus will always be there. I pray that the CD’s that were purchased tonight at winter Jam 2010 at Van Andel Arena will bless my two nieces. Oh I forgot I also got a CD to as well. I have decided to give it to my boss at work tomorrow. May the Lord Bless You and Keep You. Please stay in contact with me it would be greatly appreciated. And Yes I do give you all permission to use this testimony. While attending other winter jams or concerts. Please fill free. I pray that the Lord will touch somebody’s else’s heart just as it did for us. Please contact me and let me know what you think about this. I would love to here from you guys as often as I can. God Bless and Be Safe on the Road.
Thanks Your Friend in Christ,
Steven Carey
I received this CD at a WinterJam concert with what little I had to give towards the purchase price. I (actually God) decided that I should give my CD to an older neighbor who I had only interacted with on occasion. I went to her door and told her that I had an extra CD I would like to share with her. She stated “I’m sure my cat will love listening to it!” For a second I stood there, unsure of what to say. She then added, “and I will too.” I will be following up with her soon. I pray that the CD touched her heart as it did mine. I will continue to look for opportunities to “Give Myself Away” and be open to how God wants to use me. Thank you!
i love the cd i listen to it ever night be4 i go to bed but my fav song on the cd is Every Child (Deserves A Home) its really good me and my 3 month old son listen to it and see the thing is im only 15 and i just got in to this kinda music lol my cuzin has cancer so i have done everything i can to proveto him tht i want her to stay so thnks for the cd and oh yeah yall did good at winter jam

Greetings i have just relocted to Baton Rouge, La from Atlanta to care for my 76yr mother, who has cancer and is vision impared in one of her eyes, after more then 35yrs of marriage my dad recently walked out on my mother leaving her to struggle with her illness and no resouces, since moving here i have not been able to locate full-time steady employment, only part-time temp work. Because i have no income coming in i had to give ym car back to the lean holder becasue i could not afford it. When i first arrive after seeing about my mother i began to look into i can i invest in someone else is life inspite of what i’m going thru how can i be a blessing to someone else so i walk to the soup kitchen to serve those in need, it’s sometimes good to get your focus off of your needs and began to meet the need of someone else even if i have to walk 15 blocks to hug someone,serve someone, Give away a blessing.
dear brothers in Christ Jesus, when you come to Brazil to rescue the tour and all components that recorded the DVD, including Michael O’Brien?
We praise singing and has built much my life and brought me to a deeper communion with God. The Brazil presisa the level of praise you produce. Come here.
A big hug and the Lord of lords continue to direct their lives and blessing the kingdom of God.
My husband and I attended the Newsong concert in Tifton, GA on April 17 and we bought a CD. I have been praying earnestly and asking God who I should give the CD to. This week, one of my dear friends lost her dad. She is so sad. And, she doesn’t have a church home. After I left her house yesterday, I just knew God was prompting me to send her the “giveaway” CD. I put it in the mail to her this morning. Please pray for my friend and her family as they go through this difficult time.
Hey Guys,
The song “God Hears” has touched my heart and life just now. I seem to be in a desert on my ministry and everything seems so much harder when I don’t know what He is doing. Your song reminds me that God is still in control and will eventually show me His will. This entire CD is one of you best ever. Thanks for allowing God to use you in the ways He does.
I really love the song of the title “When God made you”. It really a good song. I wondered who wrote that song and when that was made?
God bless
thank you
