Malatya

I had the privilege to be a small part of a project that a couple of my friends from my church in Austin put together.
They filmed a documentary called "Malatya", on the first martyrs of the Turkish church. Three men were killed because they proclaimed that Jesus was Lord of lords and King of kings. They tell their story and they interview their wives and friends. It is a very powerful and moving story.
I was asked to sing and record a version of the song "I Will Sing" by Rich Mullins. My friend Jimmy and I recorded it together and it is played at the beginning of the film.
This documentary is now in the hands of Voice of the Martyrs, which is a world-wide known organization that raises awareness of the persecuted church. They have come alongside them and are distributing this documentary all over the world! AWESOME!
God is amazing!
If you want to check out the trailer and learn more about this documentary go to their website: www.malatyafilm.org
Here are a couple of pictures from recording...
