CELEBRATING MEN & WOMEN OF COMPASSIONATE HEART. "Shepherd Minstrel" is a Ministry of Psalms (Worship & Praise) to the glory of God for He has bestowed on Humanity the gift of Compassionate Men and Women who are serving in Divine things on behalf of men. These Servants in the Vineyard are so dedicated to the service of men that they forget to serve themselves, Therefore it's about time we pray for them, appreciate them, and praise God over their gift of compassion in Ministers, counselors, teachers, Missionaries and Caregivers. These songs are to encourage all that have answered God's calling and are serving with compassionate heart. When you are hooked up to TV Ministries, Radio Pastors, and read the books of Christian Ministers and you chat with and listen to those whose lives have been touched, which I am one (Praise God), you will agree with Isaiah 52:7 ''How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, (h) Who bring glad tidings of good things!'' This is the reason for this Ministry of Psalms and Songs, and why I feel indebted to serve in my little way as a back-up Ministry to cherish, encourage and celebrate their calling, Ministry and the gift of a compassionate heart, so selfless that you focus on others and forget about self. It's about time God raised an army of believers to fill in the gap for these servants that bring good tidings. This Ministry is here for your edification and spiritual support through Psalms and Worship to lift you always before the throne of grace. "May my God and your God supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus, Amen!" A COMPASSIONATE HEART. This CD is produced because God's word when released will not go back to him void. I am singing to encourage Pastors or religious workers in the vineyard who has a compassionate heart for the ministry of God's work. These songs serve as a prayer for missions and anyone with a tender and a compassionate heart (missionary,counselors, caregiver) I have watched so many ministers on TV and read their books and saw their selfless services, that is why I am here to back them up with my singing ministry, building them up into edification and spiritual support through psalms and worship to lift them before the throne of grace as a spiritual back up. This ministry is here at this point in time to minister and encourage. Glory be to God on high for providing these ministers and compassionate workers in the vineyard for the glory of God: attending to the spiritual need of the souls of men and filling in the gap through prayers. May our God El Shaddai, who through divine providence give them a compassionate heart and meet their own need as they work in their calling within the vineyard. Thanks to God for his great gifts and grace, I thank God for my Parents Mr and Mrs. Isaac Onokala for their prayers and support. Thanks to Pastor Nnamdi Onokala, Pastor Victor Anukem for their advice and encouragement. I love all with the love of God. I also Thank Ryan Anglin and Mark Ditmas for their help in producing this CD.
