In Memoriam Malaysian Airlines flight MH17

Dear Fathers, Friends in Christ, 

Like many people, I too was shocked by the terrible tragedy, which struck 
Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur  and its destruction above the Ukraine leading ultimately to a loss of life of all crew and passengers. I know that we live in a time where shocking items on the television news dont shock us anymore, because we seem to have become some shockprone, but this was for many of us around the world just too much. 

Let us first of all pray for the dead, that they may truly rest in Peace and rise in Glory. Let us then ask God to comfort all those, who have lost loved ones.Let us continue to pray for peace amongst the nations, since that little Child Jesus , the Prince of Peace, was born in Bethlehem, things in the world have not got any better. The spirit of evil is around and well, nationals are destroying one another and even different faiths are doing the same. Let us united pray for the coming again of Christ our Lord as He has promised. When Jesus comes ' the old will pass away' and He shall wipe all tears away. 
If only all of us could follow Jesus and step into His Holy Ways of righteousness and Peace. 





There Is A Redeemer

Melody Green

There is a redeemer, 
Jesus, God's own Son,
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah, 
Holy One,
Jesus my redeemer, 
Name above all names,
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
Oh, for sinners slain.

Thank you oh my father, 
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit, 
'Til the work on Earth is done.
When I stand in Glory, 
I will see His face,
And there I'll serve my King forever,
In that Holy Place.

Thank you oh my father, 
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit, 
'Til the work on Earth is done.
There is a redeemer, 
Jesus, God's own Son

Precious Lamb of God, Messiah, 
Holy One,
Thank you oh my father, 
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit, 
'Til the work on Earth is done.
And leaving Your Spirit, 
'Till the work on Earth is done.
