If you’ve never listened to the song, When the Saints, by Sara Groves, here is a link to listen/watch:
When the Saints by Sara Groves (persecuted church)
It’s been out several years, and I’ve listened so many times…..it still moves me.
That leads to the reason for this post, which is this,
Please know, there will be a day when Christ’s Saints go marching in, with Him. I hope to see you there, that day.
Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse! Its rider is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a fiery flame, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knows except Himself. He wore a robe stained with blood, and His name is called the Word of God. The armies that were in heaven followed Him on white horses, wearing pure white linen. From His mouth came a sharp sword, so that with it He might strike the nations. He will shepherd them with an iron scepter. He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written:
KING OF KINGS
AND LORD OF LORDS
Revelation 19:11-16

I thought I would share some related information while I’m at it.
If you’re interested, there is also a Christian non-profit organization called When the Saints. What are they about? Below is information copied from their website, found on their ‘About’ tab:
The Vision: We envision a Malawi that is free from sexual exploitation and ruled by the transforming love of Jesus. Through discipleship and encounters with truth, men are set free from the shame of oppression and empowered with healing and purity. Through discipleship, counseling, and career training, women are set free to heal and provide for themselves with dignity. We support Malawians to build a culture and economy that is fueled by freedom and truth.
We hope to unite the church behind this vision. Showing the love of Jesus is ultimately our fuel.
PHILOSOPHY
When the Saints dream is to see Africans minister to Africans and to utilize resources from within the country as much as possible. We do not wish to promote dependency as a result of a hand out, but rather seek to empower through sustainability.
We actively seek to partner with foreign and local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) as well as churches of any denomination to oversee on the ground services and operations, which fall within the mission of “When the Saints”.
THE ISSUE
- There are an estimated 27 million slaves in the world today and it is said that 70-80% are sex slaves –Exodus Cry
- Every 2 minutes a girl is trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Her average age is 13 –Unicef
- Currently 1% of all trafficking victims are rescued. –UN
Here is their website link:When the Saints.
Also, their Facebook page: When the Saints fb
They have built their own center in Malawi, and I noticed they don’t have a large following yet on Facebook, so I would like to try to get the word out as much as possible. I plan to fund raise for them with my photos very soon.
Have a great day today 🙂
