Finally, the new album from Beracah Music International is available for download! This is a free album with songs recorded by Steve & Velveta Thompson, all songs written by the couple over the last 10 years. One of the songs, ‘Increase in me’ written with our good friend, Andy Mitchell over 12 years ago.

As you listen, please pray for our brothers and sisters in China!

Please fill in your name and email address and we will send you an email informing you that the album is ready for order (limited amount of CDs will be available in the UK). We will also send you regular updates on Beracah Mission.

The favour of God continues to increase as we see the doors in Asia opening up.

As the singers arrived at the studio, there was an awesome presence and anticipation. A few choir members brought their children with them to the studio (as we always do). Esther our youngest bonded very quickly with our good friends Dave & Donna’s children (see pictures).

Our assistant for the day, Yasmin Malik immediately got to work setting up the food and drink station (and what a spread that was) for the choir members. We wanted to ensure each member was really looked after throughout the day.

The first thing on the agenda was to meet in the studio and share the vision of ‘Seeds For Change – China’. As Vel and I shared, you could sense the singers were digesting the magnitude of this project – the first main project for Beracah International Mission. We knew the day was going to be awesome.

As we worked through each song, almost every 20 minutes, Vel and I glanced at each other, amazed at the quality of sound the members of the choir were emanating – though this was the first time many had even met, never mind sang together! As they sang, ‘Increase in me’ all I could imagine was our Chinese brothers and sisters listening to these many singers, from across the waters, singing a song of blessing and prayer over them; a prayer that God would ‘ignite our passion for the lost…’.

(Whilst recording, one of the singers, ‘Grace’ had a special word for us, I think I may get her to relay these words as it will be a blessing for others as it was/is for Vel and myself).

Towards the end of the recording, we did a conference Skype call to LA with Francy Yeh (Co-Director of MOMH). It was important for the singers to make connection with the organization who are so ‘responsible’ for this new phase in Vel and my life and our ministry. They also ‘blame’ us for the change in their ministry. God is great and awesome!

This is a day that will not be forgotten for a while!

China will be saved!

Our ‘brothers & sisters sisters’ in China meet in private houses, often in secret for fear of arrest or imprisonment.

The official government line is that everyone should be free to choose what they believe. By this they mean people cannot tell others about their beliefs, e.g. Christianity, as telling others would not allow them to be free. It’s a bizarre philosophy – much like saying a person is free to have tea or coffee and then only allowing coffee to be provided. Meeting together without official approval, distributing Christian material, and sharing the gospel will result in arrest if caught. The arrests are really like kidnappings. Penalties range from receiving a fine to imprisonment. Some will get maybe 2-3 years in prison, but the church leaders are the ones the government particularly wants to punish and if caught leaders spend a long time in jail.

The Chinese underground church are one of the fastest growing churches in the World! Melody of My heart, a Chinese ministry based in California has dedicated their lives and music to sow into the Chinese underground church as well as the Chinese speaking world.

Our joint vision is to spread the gospel, through worship so that the whole place is full of praise. Millions of Chinese Christians and Non believers download songs from Melody of my heart daily for free and many have testified of joy in the midst of suffering and hope in the midst of despair. More importantly, many have become born again with the message of love in the songs.

Beracah Music has been commissioned by Melody of My Heart to write, produce and release songs in English as a seed to continue the revival that is happening in China.

We are bringing in some of the finest singers in the UK to record an Anthem ‘Increase in me’ along with a few more songs which will be available to download for free in China. This is a seed and will be donated to release more funds for the suffering church in China and to bring release, hope, joy, transformation and worship to millions of the non-free world.

‘Seeds for Change,’ songs sown to bring change in lives of people and nations that are oppressed for the sake of the Gospel. These songs will go where we can’t go and will accomplish what Jesus said, ‘go into all the world and preach the gospel’.

(Melody of my heart and Beracah Music are now in Israel – to record another live album. The vision of this album is to focus God’s people (in particular the Chinese nation) on praying for the peace of Israel as instructed in the Word). There is so much happening at this time – but all for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God

If you want to be a part of touching and transforming the nations through Worship, you can partner with us by prayer, or financial support.
