In 2013, I was invited to sing at a worship conference in Tampere, Finland. It was there that God began to change me; to rearrange my thinking, and to melt my heart for the Nations. What transpired from those meetings birthed in me a hunger for God like never before. Early morning prayer and the desire to be in God’s presence became as vital to me as oxygen and water; I would die unless I had them. It was there in Finland that I heard the voice of the Lord tell me to record this project.

I will always give the Lord God, my father, all of the thanks and glory, for without Him none of this would be possible. He is the reason I sing; the one I adore, the one that I worship. That said, there are a few people that I must thank -- this side of heaven -- for they mean the world to me.

Without a doubt, I could never have put this compilation of songs together without the Holy Spirit and my beautiful friend and co-writer, Rebekka Hyny. Thank you, Rebekka, for allowing the Holy Spirit to flow through you! You are a treasure to me and to the Kingdom of God. I love you!

To my Pastor, Michael Howard -- for your uncompromised teaching of the Word of God, for which I am eternally grateful; your unselfish and tireless commitment to take the gospel into all nations; and for your willingness to lay down your life for the Lord and for others. You have taught me how to LIVE the Kingdom of God; how to pray, how to die to self (I’m still working on that one); and how to be bold as a lion!

To Pastor Harry and the congregation in Tampere, Finland: I love every one of you with all my heart. I know that I have a church family in Tampere!

To Pastor Jim, Eileen, and Diane Reed: Early morning prayer -- and I mean early -- has changed my life! Thank you for being such wonderful prayer partners and friends. I love you.

To Pastor Paisley: Your prayers and your praise and worship inspired me to write some of the songs on this project. To all of the children and young people at Kalibu Academy in Malawi, Africa: Your enthusiasm, love for the Lord, and love for me has ministered and given me great hope that there is STILL a generation that will seek the Lord!

To Roland and Julia Gehman: Hearing you pray during those early morning prayer meetings inspired me to write, “Holy Spirit Bring Revival,” and to ask God to melt my heart, too. To Pastor Erroll, Pastor Navaya, and James: I am blessed to call you my friends. I honor you and thank you for your tireless commitment to our Lord and His Kingdom.

To my partners at Advance His Kingdom Ministries -- Kim Green, Kelly Hagen, my sister Elaine, Jana Alcorn and Collette Beaudoin: I am forever grateful to the Lord for your steadfast prayers of intercession and your loyal commitment to this ministry. You are a great joy to me personally and I love you with all my heart.

To my precious big brother Don, who is also a partner at Advance His Kingdom Ministries: I am forever grateful, and  don’t know what I would have done without your godly intuition, prayer, financial support, and unconditional love.  I love you more than words could ever say. Your contributions to this ministry have been instrumental in getting me across the finish line!

To my friend Jeanne Sturtevant: You have been such an encouraging friend, and you also make me laugh! I love to laugh and I love you! To Pastor Tim and Kymberly Marr, and the CBC family: I am so thankful I can call you my friends! You have been a tremendous blessing to me.

To Russ and Rita Spittler: I don’t know where to begin. Your love, friendship, trust, and support has done more for the Kingdom of God than you could ever realize. Thank you for your generosity, for it helped open doors to advance God’s Kingdom. I am just the messenger. I love you both dearly.

To my TLC family -- Kym, LaLa, Charlotte, Robin, Caroline, Christy, Teri, Jackie, and many others: Your love and support during the best of times and the worst of times has sustained me and lifted me, and has given me more laughs than a leopard has spots. May the laughter never end!

To my siblings -- Howard, Jeanette, Elaine, Ali, Don and Gloria: You have walked with me through all of life’s ups and downs, and I am so thankful for your unconditional love. It has been such a tower of strength for me.

There are special people, and then, there are SPECIAL people. Charles Williams, you are beyond what I could have asked for! I want to thank you for being such a faithful friend for over 25 years. Thank you for catching the vision for this project, and for helping me stay focused and on track. God gave me a precious gift when he put you at the helm of this ship! I love you and Gina; you are the real deal and God's choice of producers for this project! I am so glad I trusted …

To Alex Anisov: Thank you for your generous heart and the use of your wonderful studio. Your willingness to help me has produced an arrow for the Lord to target Nations! God bless you my friend.

To Abigail & Miguel and Andrew & Miho: The Bible tells us that children are a blessing from the Lord. I can honestly say that I am a very blessed woman! Thank you for encouraging me to keep reaching, to keep pressing, and to keep trusting God’s hand. You are so much fun; you keep me laughing and bring me the greatest joy. Thank you for your love, support, honor, and respect. You are shining lights that help me to navigate through this very dark world.

To my darling mother, Marian George -- woman of God, anchor, best friend; kind, most loving, and beautiful one: I give honor to you, who, all by herself, took seven needy children and planted the seed of the gospel in their hearts. That is the most valuable thing you could ever have done for me. That is the reason I am still standing; preaching and singing the gospel -- as you taught me -- to follow the King.

To my husband Jim -- my covering, my best friend, my partner in business and in ministry -- the most kind, generous, strong and yet tender man I know. I am so thankful that through all of life’s storms, our anchor held firmly to the Rock, Christ Jesus! When everything looked dark, hopeless, and really scary; when everyone thought we were a lost cause, you set your face like flint and began to pray. You taught me, by example, how to trust the Lord, how to forgive; how to lean on the everlasting arms of the living God. Thank you for releasing me to go --  whenever and wherever -- the Lord calls me to go. You support me in every way. I adore you and am so happy to be doing life with you.

Finally, to all of you who are reading this message: Thank you for your prayerful support and the purchase of this CD. 

All proceeds from this project go directly into Advance His Kingdom Ministries for the furtherance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ all around the world.
