Missionary Hymn





Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, praise His name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare His glory among the nations,
His marvelous deeds among all peoples.

For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him;
strength and glory are in His sanctuary.

Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name;
bring an offering and come into His courts.

Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness;
tremble before Him, all the earth.
Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."
The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
He will judge the peoples with equity.

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it;
let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy;
they will sing before the LORD, for He comes,
He comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples in His truth.
- Psalm 96

Happy New Missions Year!

Gumising na...















Araw ng pagasa'y narito na
Dumating din, haharapin natin....
Basta't tayo'y magkasama
Laging mayrong umagang kay ganda....

(Last song with SAGIP of Concepcion GK Village and other performers).

I will be still and know you are God
















MUSIC OF HOPE: We praise and thank God for a night of song and worship! We kept still, and God just showered us with His love.

Backstage, I saw every performer applaud for each other. I saw each performer pray as a group, worshipping God, before coming up on stage. That even includes the 4Bars, led by Tito Joe. I saw each one's nervous face but was overshadowed by a bright smile, a smile that of a child in the comforting arms of his Father.

It was a night all about love --- love for community, love for God!

Where in the world...

... is The Arena?

Be like one of the three kings.

Bring the most precious gift --- yourself, to the community that you love!

Two thousand years ago, the three kings must have asked "Where in the world will we bring this gift?". Guided by a star, they found God's greatest gift to mankind --- His love.

Today, we ask "After all that has happened to our community, where in the world will we bring ourselves, to help this community that we love?"

Bring yourselves to The Arena, brothers and sisters, and maybe we'll all find anew God's greatest gift to us --- His love!

God bless you!

ps. click and see the map below. be guided by the star....!





I will sing forever of your love, oh Lord!
