God of This City
Last night at care group, Jen and I used this song to help teach english to our group. It was amazing to share with them how this song originated here in Thailand.
There was a christian band here and they were playing in a bar in a very bad part of town. It was a bar that also doubled as a prostitution house for under age girls. As this band sang out their praises to God amongst this ugliness, God put this song on their hearts. They went home and ended up writing this song from their experience.
It was so amazing to share with them how now this song is so popular and churches all over America sing it every Sunday. And how it's become a song for the whole world!
It was a very cool God-moment!!

I absolutely love this song!!! So glad you were able to use it to teach English to the group. That song is such a powerful prayer for the Thai people. Praying God uses you girls to share in a meaningful way with the Thai people.
