Containing 11 total songs with a jazzy country/gospel flare, the disc includes
eight classic Christmas favorites like “Away in a Manger,” “Silent Night,” “O
Come O Come Emmanuel,” and “O Holy Night,” which will be serviced to radio, as
well as three original songs including the title track and “Born To Die.”

India Update – Orissa Crisis
The recent violence
was sparked by the killing of Swami Saraswati on Aug.
24. At the time, police blamed Maoist rebels active in the area for the
killings, but right-wing Hindu groups blamed local Christians and set fire to a
Christian orphanage. The violence then spread to include mob attacks on
churches, shops and homes.
Here’s an update letter:
Dear Fellow
Believers:
Greetings. It is 10:20 pm, and
together with our Board Chairman and Vice Chairman I just finished talking and
praying with Dr Dalavai about the Orissa situation in
India. I promised you an update, so here is the latest in the spiritual battle
happening there...
Exact numbers of
displaced believers are not available in the current chaos, but it appears that
as many as 50,000-100,000 are homeless, taking refuge in the refugee centers,
or hiding in the jungles or homes of sympathetic neighbors. We had thought
earlier today that two BCM churches had survived, but now confirm that all of
the BCM churches are gone, ransacked, burned or blown up. Our BCM pastor's
homes are gone. Our BCM believer's (there are about 3,000 of them) homes are
all gone---ransacked and burned. The radical Hindus have stated that they will
cleanse Orissa of all Christians, and are systematically targeting all
churches, beating and killing pastors and believers. They stated publically
that they have found and shot Rev Nayak, our BCM
district supervisor. The situation in neighboring Hyderabad (where our main
offices are located) is no longer safe.
BUT THEY LIED about
Rev Nayak. He is alive and well, escaping before they
arrived at his house. And they lied about the church too. Yes, the buildings
are all gone, but the church is still there, and they send a message,"Tell the people that the church is still
alive. Tell them we are here. Tell them to pray for us. We will rebuild every
church, if not in our generation, then in our children's generation!" The
report tonight was that none have recanted their faith or converted to
Hinduism.
OUR BCM pastors and
families are safe for the present at several locations within Orissa. None have
yet been killed. WE have lost only three believers to death so far. Pray for us
in BCM in the next days, for safety of leaders and wisdom for decisions. A
large group of children have come under our care because of the current events.
They are without families or homes. Their future is uncertain. Pray for their protection and provision.
Thank you for
praying,
Marty Windle
