Or, how I interviewed the songwriter of the ubiquitous Christian worship anthem, "Way Maker" and unashamedly jammed along to her new release — and recorded it!
Waymaker has a special place in the hearts of my wife and I. We first heard it at Orphanage Emmanuel in Honduras. At the time (pre-pandemic, when we could still travel there) we were there on a week long mission trip with our church ministering to the kiddos through hugs and service.
Our experience of "Abres Camino" (Spanish) being sung by 400+ children to the one who made a way for them to be sheltered at a loving Christ centered orphanage away from many tragic life stories was one we'll not soon forget. Every time we sing it at church I'm tearing up and clicking on my bookmark to open the Spanish lyrics and sing along. It almost seems unnatural to hear it in English. Thanks to Sinach for sharing with the whole world.
Hey Charlie, I'm so awed that Way Maker came out of Nigeria! We spent time there and lived in West Africa. I have cassettes of 100 West African worship/scripture songs from a gifted singer-songwriter. I'm wanting to share them with someone who could digitalize them for the Mende tribe in West Africa and put them on YouTube for this people group to enjoy them again. As far as I know, all other cassettes were lost during the civil war in Sierra Leone. I know Nate Tasker if that's a helpful connection. Do you have any idea if you or someone else would be interested in listening and digitalizing these songs to gift back to the Mende people group whom we lived with for 7 years?
