Note of Appreciation for the eStore Radio

Dear 'Morning Song' Friends,

Just a note of sincere appreciation. I have been searching the internet for some inspirational music of a quieter nature, and finally came across Morning Song today and have been enjoying your wonderful programming. I guess in today's fast-paced society, you don't get too many emails of commendation for 'behinds the scenes' Christian workers such as yourselves who no doubt give many thousands of hours of untold spiritually uplifting music to a hurting world. Please accept the thanks of at least one South Australian who is going to make you my No 1 source of a truly satisfying and meaningful presentation.

Thanks again and the Lord bless you richly.

Juanita Faas - A Story of Service

As I read this newsletter from one of our eStore artists, it inspired me and so I thought I'd share.

"Since I last worked with Grace Ministries with the drug addicts and prostitutes on Phillips highway we got together and put on a Good Friday social for the area. We were located in an apartment project, inside a small church. It was a great day and I found myself overwhelmed with the plight of the children in the area. I received a strong message from God that I was to start a children’s choir with these kids. Over the next few hours and days I became so excited about this, it felt so right and I was so inspired. I prayed and asked my friends to pray about this. A few days later I made the commitment and started putting it together. I made up a flyer and Kathleen, Wayne and I went to the area and handed out flyers to interested people. We had a great response. A few days later AngelAID was contacted to make a pastry pickup at Publix (like Safeway) three times a week. After the Angel families were taken care of there was lots left over for the Southside Apartments(my choir kids) Wayne and I have attend several times now meeting residents, gaining their trust and detailing plans about the choir. We pray and ask for payer every time we go to the area. Its very dangerous, drugs dealers, hookers, pimps and all are black people and we’re the only white people there. There is tension and mistrust every time we show up but slowly barriers are loosening with the some of the men (teenage and young men). ... Miracles happen around us, from people getting saved to being healed, physically and spiritually. "

Bobby Michaels Passes Away While in Cambodia

This is a copy of a letter from Bobby's Family dated March 31, 2009:

"Our hearts are aching as we tell you that Bobby passed away this evening shortly after going into the operating room. Before the surgeons started the operation, Bobby's heart stopped with an instant "flat-line". The medical team tried for 45 minutes to resuscitate him but his heart did not respond.

We are deeply saddened by our loss...but rejoice that Bobby did get totally healed...with a new heart, kidneys, and any other part that might have needed fixing. The Lord knew the plans He had for Bobby...and today was his graduation day as he went to the One he loved the most and served so faithfully. We know he was carried away in the arms of Jesus.

Words cannot express our thanks for all the love, prayers, and notes of encouragement that have come to us by everyone who have been touched by Bobby's life. Our prayer for all of you is that you will experience the same peace and comfort that we have received from the Father.

We will let you know of memorial plans once these details have made. Thank you again for all of the love and prayers for our family.

We love you all deeply!
Lee, Rachel, and Jeff

Bobby was my dear friend and in many ways mentored me in two specific areas - Artist Training and Overseas Music Missionary work.
