River of life Symphony Orchestra is a group of young people whose vision is to worship and magnify the name of the Lord Jesus through music. We all acknowledge that apart from him, our music is nothing but is simply a mere sound of gong without his anointing.

Today, Sunday at 2pm our Pastor asked us to prepare songs to be played at Bethel Church for their upcomming program this tuesday. With this, we all felt pump up about going there because we all heard that their Church is said to be really beautiful with a place of astounding location since it is built at the top of a mountain. Anyway, on my next blog I'll make a narration of that beautiful place and on how our journey went on that day to show and approve you the beauty of that place.

And so the team came up with this 3 messianic songs entitled "Kadosh" which means "Holy", "Hevenu Shalom Aleichem" which means "Peace" and "Koli El Adonai" which means "The Lord is Most High" to be played on that day. Honestly, we all felt really jubilant upon playing those songs because its beat is very lively that will really even move you into dancing. Though there were some of us who did a little of review of the songs but still it ended up beautifully played because of the grace of the Lord.

Here are some of these photos captured during the practice:

The band section chills out in rightfully hitting the right chords to every part. Even managing to strike a pose... (such a guitatist)

After our practice which ended at 3:pm, we all felt really re energize and activated because the Lord blessed us with beautiful melodies and symphony of rhythms on that day.

With this, we all truly believe that there is nothing in us that make us capable of playing these music if not and only because of the Lord.

Hope you are encourage to read and get valuable insights of the life of these young people. Shalom everyone.
