Encouraging saints around the world since 1991 !!

Our background MIDI is "Heavens and Earth",
written by Ralph Merrifield,
arranged by Fred Scorza (from Pennsylvania)

Written while sitting on a stone wall, enjoying God's creation,
in the back yard of the Crossroads Study Center (Framingham MA)
during a Wayne Anderson Spiritual Intimacy Retreat.

This song was recorded by Duffy and Barbara Kirklewski
and used as an introductory theme song for
their church's weekly radio program.
They also used "In The Splendor Of Your Courts" for these programs.

It has been sung by soldiers at
worship services in Kuwait & Iraq
