Recent Story:

Frederson Joseph | Kenscoff, Haiti

“I was shocked and amazed when I received the guitar! I am going to use it for two things—to praise God myself and to help others praise. My ongoing dream is that every time I go somewhere to sing in concert, people may come to Christ. I want to be able to help needy people, especially in the countryside—to be like a fountain of blessing to others. Music is the best way to communicate to God and connect people to God. I know God will give me some songs on this guitar so everyone can sing and reach God … not only in my country.” See More Stories
