There are a couple of new songs up over at the Lahash website, one of them is the off of the brand new Amazing Grace Children's Choir CD - Thank You Lord For Your Mercies. It's a song built with the traditional instruments of Northern Uganda and Southern Sudan, and sung in the Bari language. The name of the song is Negrot Kokubu which means "The Light Shines." It speaks of the light of Jesus shining in the East, West, North and South.
You can download it, along with another free song from Tanzania. The song from Tanzania is titled Kitu Gani and asks what can compare with our savior Jesus Christ. The song is a common song - but performed by Vita Kissi, the fellow heading up the choir at the church where we will be sponsoring some orphans through the Orphan Sponsorship Program of Dodoma.

On Saturday we inagurated ERM with Emmanuel Sitaki of Rwanda. While we hung around talking after the event, I spoke with a lady named Vicky Trabosh who is heading up a very similar program to Lahash - focusing on the needs of Rwanda. We hope to be able to share some of our ideas in the upcoming year! Pretty cool. And check out the organization's website (www.itafari.org) - both logos use the Acacia tree! Wow.
