You Give Me Hope


A young German, Josua Nilkens, produced a CD with five songs about God's love, mercy, and hope. The title of the CD is "You Give me Hope". He was inspired to compose songs when he visited the dumpsite in Inayawan, Pardo, Cebu City. The state of the residents was pitiable and the children were dirty. But one thing that Josua saw was a potential. The kids can sing. When he heard a constant beat of something like an accompaniment for a song but was in a crude style, he later found out it was bottle crowns flattened and nailed on a stick. Josua began to work with the children by teaching them the songs and later bring them to a studio for the recording. The patience, hard work, and faith paid off.
To God be the glory and may God bless Josua even more.
