Music is a heart language that God has given us. It transcends racial, social, and physical boundaries. Throughout the whole world you will hear people making music in their own unique way to express themselves. When music is made that comes out of relationship with God, it is an incredible thing! We asked some of our staff and students to share with you songs that inspire them to relationship with Jesus and to missions. May these songs speak to your heart:
