Steve Green Addresses Persecution
According to Voice of the Martyrs, Steve Green addresses the issue of the persecuted church among other things in his 1998 album entitled THE FAITHFUL. Steve says, "As I prayed and listened, I could hear certain themes echoing through the church. I heard a great cry of concern about our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world and a continued lament over the killing of the unborn. There was a groaning of renewed passion to experience God and an urgency to ask God for genuine revival. I want to add my voice to the voices of many others who are picking up the strains of truth and righteousness and carrying the song of God's heart to all who will hear." The album is available through Voice of the Martyrs for $16CD/$10 Tape plus shipping and handling. I'm sure you can find it in Christian bookstores too.

MUSIC BY NATHAN GEORGE
"CHINA" [Lightheartedly pokes fun at Western ethnocentrism and encourages going overseas]
