Gospel Music Show
"How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?" (Psalm 137:4). I was so sad to read this psalm that the people of God hanged their musical instruments on the willow trees and unable to sing the Lord's songs amidst the difficult situation in foreign land. Unable to sing or play instruments because of political oppression, unable to perform because of financial hardship, unable to praise God because they were away from their home country. So sad, they felt that they were away from the presence of the Living God.
How about you my friends, will you be kept quiet and not praising God amidst the storms of life? Do not feel that Living God is away from you. He is always with us, near us, caring us, guiding and blessing us with His presence. So, Join us on August 15, to sing, to shout, to praise, and to dance together at Little Theatre, Daly City. (Check on the flyer for detail information).

God's wonderful protection
the crossfire he had lost touch with his comrades.
Alone in the jungle, he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his
direction. Scrambling for cover, he found his way up a high ridge to several small caves in the rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the caves. Although safe for the moment, he realized that once the enemy soldiers looking for him swept up the ridge, they would quickly search all the caves and he would be killed.
As he waited, he prayed, "Lord, if it be your will, please protect me. Whatever your will though, I love you and trust you. Amen."
After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy begin to draw
close. He thought, "Well, I guess the Lord isn't going to help me out of this one." Then he saw a spider begin to build a web over the front of his cave.
As he watched, listening to the enemy searching for him all the while, the spider layered strand after strand of web across the opening of the cave.
"Hah, he thought. "What I need is a brick wall and what the Lord has sent me is a spider web. God does have a sense of humor."
As the enemy drew closer he watched from the darkness of his hideout and could see them searching one cave after another. As they came to his, he got ready to make his last stand. To his amazement, however, after glancing in the direction of his cave, they moved on. Suddenly, he realized that with the spider web over the entrance, his cave looked as if no one had entered for quite a while.
"Lord, forgive me," prayed the young man. "I had forgotten that in you a spider's web is stronger than a brick wall."
We all face times of great trouble. When we do, it is so easy to
forget what God can work in our lives, sometimes in the most
surprising ways. And remember with God, a mere spider's web becomes a brick wall of protection.
