Many of you are familiar with the song 'God of This City'. Great song with a great story behind it. It was originally written by the band Bluetree. Strange name. I have been gearing up for our mission to Alabama as well as our group going to Jamaica.
Pattaya, Thailand is a fast-paced, party-driven night club scene. It is defined largely by the sex industry that it advertises. This band, Bluetree, wrote a song while on Walk Street which is the heart of this night life.

Anyway, the band Bluetree...how did they get their name? Well, here's how the story goes. They were discussing how we are to be different than the world. Something about our lives as believers that is recognizeably different. Like going out into the woods where everything is green...all the trees green, and then you see this Blue tree. Blue bark, blue leaves...all blue. That's how it should be when people see us. They should see Jesus and recognize that something is different. Just like a beautiful blue tree in a green forest.

I love the song! Now I understand how the band's name came about.
Where in Alabama are you going for the mission trip? Are you not going to Louisiana? Please continue to pray for those going to Jamaica also! Especially Sierra and Tara! What a great trip for them!
