Just back from Harvest School 24, by Iris Global, where Laurie-Ann and I graduated as missionaries. There was plenty of worship music, and today's program attempts to recreate that anointed atmosphere with recordings I made on my phone alternating with tracks from Bethel Music,
| We step into freedom Bethel Music - You make me brave - Bethel Music |
| You are worthy to be praised Mozambique pastors - Live recording in Pemba |
| You make me brave Bethel Music - You make me brave - Bethel Music |
| HS24 worship 1 HS24 worship team - Live recording in Pemba |
| It is well Bethel Music - You make me brave - Bethel Music |
| In 1965 I was cruising off the coast of Mozambique in HMS Berwick. We were on 'Biera Patrol' preventing oil being tanked to Biera en-route to South Africa. It was the time of Apartheid. As the Weapons and Electrical officer one of my responsibilities was the public address system, which included the basic tools of a broadcasting studio. So I started a regular entertainment program, involving officers and ratings, with spoken words and music. This was to alleviate the possible boredom of many weeks at sea. The next track is a segment from one of the programs, preserved in my tape collection these 51 years, Biera is mentioned by Sub Lieut Peter Mitchell. For June and July 2016, Laurie-Ann and I were in Pemba, Mozambique, north of Biera, where Heidi and Rolland Baker chose to open the mission school in 2002. At that time the local tribe, Makua, were almost completely unreached by Christianity. Today, 15% of them are Christian. As we cruised off Beira, I doubt any of the locals has ever heard of Apartheid, or even South Africa. So this is want one of my programs sounded like 51 years ago. |
