We Are Hard Pressed featuring Ross Gill and Helen Joy Rubio from the album “The Season of Singing” recorded and produced by Ross Gill<\/p>\n

Last week I shared a video featuring \u201cWe Are Hard Pressed\u201d sung by Evieanna Mullane. It is from our work in progress \u201cTheophilus- The Musical\u201d. \u00a0I said that we are yet to decide which causes it may support, but neglected to say that the song was originally recorded some 11 years ago by Ross Gill and Helen Joy Rubio- their version features today.<\/p>\n

I also did not say that the charity \u201cRelease International\u201d had used Ross and Helen\u2019s version 11 years ago. I decided to ring Release to see if they would be interested in using the latest video.\u00a0 They were, in fact delighted and will feature it in the near future when they decide how best it can be used.<\/p>\n

For those who do not know \u201cRelease International\u201d their website states:<\/p>\n

Release International<\/strong>\u00a0is a Christian ministry working through local church partners in around 30 countries across the world, helping persecuted Christians prayerfully, pastorally and practically.<\/p>\n

We were founded in 1968, inspired by the testimony and ministry of Pastor Richard Wurmbrand. Following the demise of Communism in Eastern Europe and the increase in the persecution of Christians elsewhere in the world, the Ministry broadened its activities and changed its name to Release International.<\/p>\n

Our ministry is based on Hebrews 13 v 3: \u2018Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.<\/em>\u2019<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2008 Mustard Seed Song\u2019s first musical \u201cHis Story\u201d was produced by Release International to become part of the London Pentecost Festival. \u201cHis Story\u201d was performed three times at the Central Hall, Westminster. \u00a0Details can be seen on today\u2019s image.<\/p>\n
