May the year 2008 bring true joy, peace, life and fulfilment in your life as you walk with God the Father and our Savior Jesus Christ.
I am presently ministering in India and travelling for all overseas ministries. Please uphold me and my family in your prayers. I released my new DVD "Best of Tahira Haidar Ali" Volume 1 last year and have since then recorded 3 more DVD's which are ready to be released in India and abroad.
I am glad to share the news that the ministry and concerts in Holland and Suriname in the end of Oct and Nov.were blessed by the Lord. The Surinamese Indians immigrated to Suriname in South America 135 years ago. They are celebrating their aniversary this year in June as Indians who have kept up the Indian tradition, music, dress code and the culture of India, even though most of them have never been to India even once in their lifetime.The Suranamese Indians have the same background as the Fiji Indians who live in Fiji Islands in the Pacific and have also kept the language, culture and music of India even though most of them too have never been to India. Indians in both these countries speak Bhojpuri and Hindi. Other Indians who live in Africa and other parts of the world also love Indian music and culture and enjoy Indian music specially Indian Christian music since they converted to Christianity.
On Oct 28 2007, I released the new Punjabi Zabur Audio CD called "Khudawanda" to one of my best friends who went to be with the Lord.. It was during one of the three concerts that were held in Holland among the Suranmese Indians and Pakistani Christians. Some hindus and Muslims also attended the concerts and heard what Jesus had done for all the people of the world. I had shared in my previous newsletter that while recording the Punjabi album in Ludhiana, (India) in August 07, I received the terrible news that my friends Kathy and her husband Pastor Arif Khan were found murdered in their home in Islamabad, Pak. This has been a great shock to their two married children and family who live in NJ, USA. Please pray for the two married young children who are going through a lot of pain and great loss. The late pastor Arif Khan was the one who read the scriptures in most of my music albums. I met Kathy and Arif in 1995 in USA and he gave his voice and introduced me in my most popular CD called " " Maufi "even today. It was released in 1996 in a large concert in Philidelphia USA . Many Indo-Pak families became aware of my ministry in North America and in other countries and on the basis of their counsel and support and because of my spiritual parents Mr and Mrs Ray and Peggy Seals I was able to make USA and now Canada my base. The punjabi CD and the new DVD's will be dedicated here in India soon. Years ago Mr & Mrs Jacob and Irene Mal lost two young children aged 18 and 26 years more than 15-16 years ago.Mr Mal is the elder brother of Rt Reb Joel V Mal (The Moderator of CNI) and they live in Prince Edward Island in Eastern Canada.
Added to these, several friends have lost their brothers and sisters to premature death, others have been defamed, hounded, threatened by their own and thrown out of their inheritance. These attacks and other attacks on ministry, family and friends going through agony dealing with cancer, untimely death of loved ones, alcohol, abuse and other trials and trauma just show that our enemy satan (who is also called 'the accuser of the brethren)' is never at peace when we spread God's word and do His work. For several years, many many friends have stood behind praying faithfully and inteceding for God to continue His work. If you have a need, please let me know so we can add you to our prayer list too. If you are going through traumatic times and do not have anyone to turn to, please contact us and we will put you in touch with our many friends and ministries in many parts of the country and overseas as well. Many homes have been opened by many families around the world for people who need help and support.
If you would like to consider supporting Awaaz with your prayers and financial donations, please e-mail me and I shall be glad to give you details of how and where to send your donations in USA, Canada or India. The funds donated in North America are tax-deductible and will mainly be used for travelling and ministering in India and for Audio/Video recordings. If you would like to support the needs that the ministry has in India, please do write to me.Please pray for the need of a laptop and a car for ministry in India.
Distribution of DVD;s and CD's : Ministry House in Amsterdam, Holland will oversee all my overseas production in Europe and Piper Media Services in Broken Arrow(OK) USA will handle all other overseas orders for me in North America and other countries. Kindly check the list of albums and what you would like to order. We are in the process of making an online downloading possible for those who would like to just donate or pay online and hear the songs.
For most maybe it has been a year of wonderful blessings and happiness while for others it has been of trial and pain but whatever our circumstances have been, can we truly say that we have been transparent, honest, open, caring, accountable and true ? I have learnt from many years of experience that it pays to be all of the above and even if we are accused, threatened, defamed, hounded and mocked, we stay true to our Lord and to those whom He has given in our care.
Be blesse d and bless others even if they curse or hurt you.
Whatever our hands touch
We leave fingerprints,
On walls, on furniture,
On doorknobs, dishes, books,
As we touch we leave our identity.
Oh please where ever I go today,
Help me leave heartprints,
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness
And genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter,
Or an anxious mother,
Or perhaps a dear friend.
I shall go out today
To leave heartprints,
And if someone should say
"I felt your touch,"
May that one sense be...
YOUR LOVE Touching...through ME.
