What Can You Do?

I hope your hearts have been encouraged by the music and stories, but also softened and opened to the plight of these girls. I hope that the Lord is stirring in your hearts to do something to help this dire situation. Here are some ways you can help.
  • Pray. Most of all, we need to intercede for these girls, the staff, and the workers at Disha Foundation. Pray for the Shaw family as they work hard to lead and make wise decisions as they care for so many. They need prayers for strength, courage, and endurance as they run a difficult race.
  • Make a purchase. Buy a song, album or a book. If you already have them, gift them to others. This way you are being blessed by the songs and stories, and money from the sales is going right back to these girls in need. Also share the links to the album on iTunes, to this blog, and to the books on Amazon with your friends.
  • Give. Give a donation to Disha Foundation to help fund the hostel or support the older girls trying to make it on their own.
  • Go. It is getting increasingly difficult to visit India for a number of reasons, but the door is not closed to all. If the Lord is telling you to go, contact me or Disha Foundation to see how we can make that happen.
Thank you for reading through this blog, and I trust that your heart was challenged and encouraged through the songs and stories. God bless you, and don't forget these precious girls of God.





The My God Will Hear Me album is available at many online stores and streaming services. All profits for purchased music goes to Disha Foundation to support the girls.

It has always been a favorite of mine, and one that many others have enjoyed listening to and singing. It has a simple melody, a timeless message, and lyrics not too difficult to translate. I am thankful for dear Indian friends who worked hard making the best translation to preserve the meaning as well as the melody. This can be very difficult! It was important to include some Hindi language songs so that the girls could sing in their heart language. They do know some English, but it is generally basic or very beginner level for the younger ones, especially. I loved hearing th...

The Beginning

During the fall of 2012, the Lord was working on my heart and bringing things together in my mind in preparation for this project. I shared the vision with Vinita Shaw of Disha Foundation , and she gave me her blessing to move forward. I committed the month of January 2013 to the Lord for prayer and planning for this project as well as for my general music ministry. I know the Lord has used music in my life and to bless others in the past, so it makes sense that there would be spiritual warfare in the form of distractions or disruptions in my life. However, I was not expecting what happened on January 1, 2013. I had a sudden, unexplained back injury that landed me in bed for the month. Doctors were unable to diagnose the exact problem. After that month, I could only handle being out of bed for about an hour at a time. I very slowly worked back up to a normal routine as my back healed. During that time, I realized that all the Lord had called me to do that month (in addition to nor...
