\nJoffy Girling filming the Portsmouth Gospel Choir singing “A Mustard Seed of Faith”<\/p>\n

“Do I Need To Worship”? – featuring the Mustard Seed Soul Band from the album “His Story” recorded and produced by Ross Gill<\/p>\n

One of Mustard Seed Songs\u2019 Mission projects is the construction of the Risen Christ Central Chapel (RCCC) in Cross River State, Southern Nigeria.\u00a0 The roof is on, the ceiling in place, there are doors and windows and the electrics have been installed. The next stage is for the floor to be tiled. In order to launch a fund raising campaign to fund the \u00a32000.00 required the Portsmouth Gospel Choir graciously agreed to help by being filmed at the shore of Lee on Solent singing a track from their \u201cHow Great Are His Signs\u201d EP – \u201cA Mustard Seed of Faith\u201d https:\/\/store.cdbaby.com\/cd\/portsmouthgospelchoir<\/a><\/u>. This is Pastor Patrick\u2019s of RCCC favourite song.<\/p>\n

Joffy Girling, our amazing Musical Director came to film the track using some fantastic equipment including a \u00a32.5 K drone!<\/p>\n

However if you have been living in this country for the past month or so you will know that we have not exactly been blessed with good weather (to put it mildly!) so the 10.00 am start was delayed because of rain\u00a0 and we were not able to film until 3.00 pm. The choir were wonderfully patient (it helped that there was a local pub and restaurant nearby) – Joffy was constantly checking the weather with his Met Office app and we did in the end get an hour or so of clear weather.<\/p>\n

There were 24 from the Portsmouth Gospel Choir that gave up their time – some alumni coming down by car and train from London and some coming from Portsmouth- so it was a really generous giving of their time \u00a0and thanks so much again to them all.<\/p>\n

One great bit of news is that a couple of days earlier two from the Portsmouth Gospel Choir, Heavilyn (Heaven) Sarprong and David Ohene- Akrasi became engaged. Heaven was the Musical Director for the \u201cHow Great Are His Signs\u201d EP and David led the band, \u00a0playing keys.<\/p>\n

So all at Mustard Seed Songs say \u201cMANY CONGRATULATIONS HEAVEN AND DAVID!\u201d<\/p>\n

As soon as Joffy has finished editing the video I will publish it on this blog.<\/p>\n

Quote of the week<\/p>\n

You can always tell when you are on the road to success -it\u2019s uphill all the way!<\/p>\n
