Encouraging saints around the world since 1991 !!

Written by Ralph Merrifield

The "Hospital Choir" of the Greater Grace Church  
in the yard of the war veteran's home (Helsinki, Finland)

We have been singing "To The Rock"  many times, 
once in the church meeting and many times in the hospitals.  
This song is one of our favorites... it has a sweet anointing as we sing it.  
We made a live recording with three microphones in the meeting... 
 we'll send you a CD soon...   (Lea, from Finland)

I just received a wonderful recording of the
Helsinki Greater Grace Church choir 
singing this song.  Thank you, my friends !

To The Rock

Yesterday our "hospital choir" visited a home for war veterans.  
We sang old and new songs included  "Johda Minut Kalliolle" ("To The Rock" in Finnish).
Afterwards one old man stood up and said: "Thank you for showing us the way
to the Rock, what you sang and spoke about."     (Lea, from Finland)
