Encouraging saints around the world since 1991 !!

Our background MIDI is "Silence, Solitude And Prayer",
written by Ralph Merrifield,
arranged by Michael L. Jester  (from Florida)

From 1986 to 1999, Rev. Wayne Anderson led a series of spiritual intimacy
seminars at Crossroads.  Among the topics covered were  "Abba Father"
"Grace, Faith and Focus" and "Silence, Solitude and Prayer". 
This song, and many others, were inspired by those teachings.

Written on a Wayne Anderson retreat, 
while sitting next to a pond, enjoying His  creation

I would love to be able to use "Silence, Solitude and Prayer" on my web site

 I fell in love with its peaceful quality.  
That song... is needing to be heard... we all need to slow down and 
get into the silence and listen to God; everything we need is there.  
Your song gives that message.  (email from Shanna)
