in the Sunny Essex Essex, Sunny Essex. Um and we are in the
talking Point um on the music day, on the music Day, and so
um with that in my favorite your favorite? Okay, why is it your
favorite? Ennia? I think music has the power to move people. Um.
And I think the pressure I saw in the presence of the Lord and
for me, that's just what music is about and that's why it's my favorite.
Okay, Okay, Pedro, how are you feeling You're in Colchester?
Yeah, I've been. I've actually been a Colchester before. You've been a
Colchester for my job? Okay, Okay, Pedro. For those that don't
know, listen by radio. Pedro is living in Halifax. Um. And
it's not the building society I wish he wish you could live inside of the
building. I live with the I live with the cows, the chickens and
sheep man. Don't call you anyway, Yeah you know I was doing that
anyway. Um, what what we what we have this afternoon? Guys?
Is it is music day here in Colchester? And um, Patricia, who
is you know the head of music here? Um? How I don't I
mean anyway? The head of music here? And Patricia, we want to
ask you which Josephine, I want to ask you a couple of questions,
um about your wonderful church called Colchester. Um, everyone say say hi to
Patricia. Hi, Patricia. Good good. That don't sound like it's on,
So if we could make sure it's on? Everyone is on? Yeah,
it's good, it's good. Zena asked Patricia. A wonderful question to
get it started. I saw you're the director of music here at Colchester.
I call myself music leader. But yes, how long have you been in
that role? And what do you find rewarding about it? The thing about
my role is it's it kind of just evolved. When I joined coaches to
church, there wasn't really like a music leader, and so sometimes we just
you know, walk up to them and you know, just help the church
to sing I actually do say this all the time. I can't really sing.
I admit it passed away. You don't have to rub it in.
But I love music. So I've been in this role, I think for
a few years. I don't know. Just involves every time they are choosing
somebody to lead music. They asked me if I want to lead, and
I'm quite happy to do that. Even if I don't sing, I'll make
everybody else sing. Amen. There is a saying. He is just saying,
if you can't make a joyful noise, and you make an awful noise
onto the long you know. So I'm not saying that you. I'm not
saying that you, but I'm June said, if you can't make a joyful
noise, pat you made an awful noise, then I wonder why everybody else
came back this afternoon. It's not what I Oh, no, we all
heard you. We heard you. That's not what she meant. What you
mean? What did you mean that? What I meant is that all to
the glory of God. I am man a man that don't go Why would
you use the word awful while talking about Patricia? Anyway? And moving on
moving on, I part you anything on your mind in regards to music and
or even Colchester, that that the wonderful leader of music can help us with.
Patricia, Patricia, what's your surname? Tell us your surname? We
want to know everything about you on radio. My father's name or my husband's
name. Give you if you're married, then your husband's name. Yes,
right, okay, it's come a London. Yes, that sounds like a
very sophisticated name. Is sophisticated. Yeah, your husband's sophisticated guy, So
no problem anyway, go ahead, Do anything come to mind when you talk
about come to mind? Like just about the church? Yeah, anything anything.
She she's the leader. She knows the answers. Oh, I see
your question. That's right. Yeah. Actually my question will actually be the
opposite, like what do you find the most difficult about being a music leader?
Oh, can't be music leader? Not pass the right to answer?
Oh okay, yeah, thank you, thank you very much. I already
say that, I already admit that I can't sing, but I love to
sing. I will sing for you pass away anyway. Well, I find
difficult. Um. Every week I'm supposed to put up a list of songs
for like the song service and divine as well, and get everybody to be
involved in In my personal capacity, sometimes I'm so tired on the Sabbath,
but I have to come to church to just be even if it's just in
time for music, so that I can help my team. But that's the
difficulty I've been having, you know, like in my own personal life.
But yeah, I'll work. I'll work an assistant, Yes, I do,
I do. I don't know if Josephine can move to coaches which Josephine.
Josephine not passed away, I said, joseph No, Well, we're
trying to get rid of Josephine off the radio. Yeah, yeah, I'm
trying to get rid of Josephine. So all in favor that we vote Josephine
can come to It's carried, It's characters carried. Josephine is no longer on
the radio anyway. See how easy it is to move folk along, I'll
tell you man. Anyway, Patricia, I want to thank you for that
little introduction. We'll come back to you as part of leadership here and when
it comes to the music, et cetera. Can we get Patrici your hand
please, and thank you very much so participating, Um, let's go to
music. Can we go to music? Let's go to music. Zeni and
Pedro were not okay. Pedro looks like you're looking at me like sideways.
Okay, fine, we're good, just a little tired, but I'm fine,
good, good, good, Yeah, Pedro, listen, man,

five hours from here and they drove. Man, Hey, Edro, I
don't know how you bought your children. Can't remember a thing because they were
sleeping. Actually, the funny thing, I actually drove further because my last
job last night was at five o'clock. At six o'clock in Blackpool. In
blacks in Blackpool, drove the Halifax and then from Halifax drove down Wow wow
yeah yeah yeah. And I'm not saying yeah yeah. I tell you,
man, Tara, you married a real man, because the rest of us
would have stopped in Halifax and not come back. She was like, me,
ain't doing this again. I was like, I don't know, yeah,
yeah, but you know, let me say this. If you're from
America, you know that we don't mind driving, because when I was there,
I would drive just on a weekend drive up to New York from Huntsville
and drive back and going to class from Monday morning. And that's like I
used to do that fifteen hours. Yeah I was driving. Yeah, that's
a regular drive. Yeah yeah. So um. Anyway, I'm just saying,

be amen, my brother is it Hugo? There was Hugo. Okay,
just take the mic again for us. We want to ask you a couple
of questions about the song that you just sang, if you don't mind this
Adventistradio London and we are hearing Colchester at the Talking Talking Point program with myself
Zenia, and I was going to say Angela, we need to say a
prayer for her, one of our colleagues, Angela. Her car broke down
on the way here and so happened to tow her back, and so please
keep her in your prayers as well. A matter of fact, could do
you mind if we just pray? Now? Can we do that? Father?
We just ask you in a special way to be with our program.
But most of our Lord, our hearts are with Angie and we pray that
her and her mom would have whatever the situation is that they find themselves in
now that you will sort it out for them. Our goal is is that
they wish they could be here before the program's over, but if they need
to go back home, then let your wi would be done. Ultimately,
Lord, we pray that if there's any issues or problems that's difficult for them,
go there and work it out on their behalf in Jesus name. Amen.
Amen, But we'll go talk to us. What was your inspiration behind
this song? Um? Oh, well, like I said, last week,
it last week. Yeah, I can't remember now, but two weeks
ago, a week two weeks ago. So we were actually here on um
that was Sabbath afternoon. Yeah, um, having a rehearsal for this program
and uh, Schamisa wasn't here yeah um, and we had that she was
not feeling very well, so only for me to drive home. Yeah,
And then I started seeing all this WhatsApp updates, people posting pictures of Semis
up shamisso on their WhatsApp thing and the old tears, and I was a
bit shocked that it was like this. This cannot be happening because on my
way home with another sister of ours, Matilda, we were actually talking about
her in the car. Only for me to wake up in the morning I
found that she's she's gone, So um, it is it is sad.
As someone who has experienced death twice in the family, Yeah, it is
absolutely painful. Yeah. Yeah, So when I was told to minister today,
I started thinking in terms of what we are passing through. Yeah,
And I got across to the song, which personally is a wonderful, lovely
song for me. But I kind of feel like in the midst of all
the death and the pain and the stinging, no, we need to realize
that it's just temporary. Yeah, and after a time, yeah, God
says your weapons, we just focus on the future and not with things that
happening now. Thank you, Patricia and Patricia Zenia Pedro. Any anything that
you'd like to ask, Well, first of all, I have to say
condoleances. Yeah, I didn't know the story myself, but you can sense
the emotion. And that is again what I've said about music. It just
has a way of bringing emotion into the picture, bringing feeling. I'm sentiment
and we could have felt that from the way you rendered that song beautifully,
so beautifully just a moment ago. But death is a difficult thing to handle,
to manage, and we have to find a way and music can offer
that outlet, you know. And I just pray that God will continue to
comfort you and the family and the church family by extension and as we give
him praise, because this is it. We've got to learn to praise Him
in every circumstance, in every emotion, and music allows us to do that.
Man, Man Pedro, for me, I think for what I hear,
like when you were singing, it was almost like you was healing yourself
while you were singing. While you were singing, music to me, a
longer being enjoyed heals. Yes, it helps you to reflect on things and
and understand that you know, it may be down right now, but we've
got we can get up and rise up and dust herself off and it's gonna
be all right tomorrow. So while you were singing, that's that's the kind
of feeling I got from what you were when you were singing, I got
that feeling like you. It was almost like you was healing yourself for the
loss. And again, like she said, I'm saying, you said,
Michael Duless for your loss. Um, But um, that were I don't
really have a question, to be honest, man, that was intentional.
So the last time I saw her was in Patricia's kitchen, Amen. And
I was visiting and she was in the kitchen and they were trying to I
think they were making pizza and uh well not making it warming it, but
if it looked a bit like me when it came out, Yeah, a
bit darker than usual. And we had a good laugh about that. Some
of you'll missed it. You missed it, your poor crowd, poor crowd,
poor crowd, poor grad Yeah, get it next week here on Thursday.
But nevertheless, Um, that was you know, I had so much
fun memories of her and also praying together. She was part of the prayer
team that we prayed with. So we praised God for her life and for
her legacy. And like Alexander said, we have a lot to praise God
for because she was an amazing woman. And the UNI students can testify because
that's what those were her babies. Amen. Amen, Amen, thank you
for that song. Can we give my hand again? Um? Wonderful wonder
her songs? Um, So why don't we ask the congregation, um,
who would like to stand and tell us a hymn or a song that means
a lot to them? Anybody? Now, there's no gaps in radio,
so you all need to move as quick as possible. And yeah, don't
to jump at once unless you're jumping off is a hand over there? Yes,
great, great, great, great, stand up and use your biggest
voice you have and tell us what the song is and why him night to
night? Amen. Yeah, you're gonna sing it if you would give us,
give us a little bit. Come on, yes, be on these
me won't when it be talk God, God WoT take wrong you? He
me all love? Butte gon't we take and wrong you? God say can
run true every oh down he take that roll you God wounding a man?
Right, So you've said God will take care of you as your favorite tell
us why. Yeah. In my life I've been a young boy at age
fifteen, I was in the moment of always friending for myself. Okay,
So when I got hold of that him, it has been a motivation.
So in my life, whatever happens, what are good or bad? I
see God take care of me. Are you only child of big families?
We have a family of five, but I happened to be the only advent
in the family. Praise God. Yeah, So that's that's that's why that's
thing came around. Of course, in one way or the other I was
being kicked aside, but seas in that way. But they saw it in
that matter. But I saw myself that the Lord is preparing me for something
higher and how I perceived myself. So though in the environment that I was
it could be somehow we all disadvantage, but to me it was an advantage
for me, for me to explore in the Lord. Yeah, right my
hand, wonderful. There are another question, not today though I saw you
coming. Um so to him that it's actually my father's favorite him, which
I also love a lot, which is three three four come to up out
of every blessing. And it's the last verse really that that rings to me.
I'm gonna the one. I'm horrible with words always happened, But um
the last verse, Oh to grace, how great a dector. Daily I'm
constrained to me, I can say, I can testify to that. Let
thy goodness like a feather, bind me closer still to thee. Prone to
wonder Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love.
But here's my heart, So take and seal it, seal it for thy
course above. You're not singing it. No, no, no, no,
another time at least give it the first no, so that we can
sing it with you. All right, let's get the first verse first versus
h come thou found heavy bless stream while feels my heart joy, get my
hands, ask question. I got asking a question. He didn't get off
that easy. As for you. There's a question. So you said that
it was your father's favorite him? Yes, what was his? What was
the inspiration or why was it your father's favorite him? I might have to
ask my mother to answer that question, or maybe maybe what is you know?
Yeah, why is it yours? Now? Because that was gonna go
next to that too. Yeah, I can identify with the words of a
song, and especially that third verse. It's something that we daily need to
renew and daily need to appreciate. Because I can't speak for anyone else,
but I know that I struggle daily, and if it weren't for God's grace,
I do not know where it would be. So it's a it's a
parer that needs to be repeated every single day. Here's my heart. It's
prone to stray. So I'm going to put it in your hands because only
it's not you know you often say hold on to God's hand. Yeah,
you can't trust that I'm not strong enough. I asked, I have to
ask God to hold my hand because he's strong enough to stop me from falling
away. Man, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. It's a good
quick question for baptisms. Don't it feels like I don't know, maybe the
stinks they did, I don't know. I'm sorry. He's one of those
that make you cry. Yeah, but rings in my brain like after they
got out the water. Yeah that it's take me to the water. But
after that, I don't know. Probably in New York where New York.
Yeah, it's just it's just in my head. Yeah, Yeah, it's
a man. In New York. They baptize so many people that they sing
the whole Him Book. I'm telling you man, and then they go to
the Ayuth book and his mom is a is a Bible weather that have led
thousands of people. I'm serious to the Lord in the city, in the
rue of the roughest cities in the world. And and so he sat through
many baptisms. Trust me, Daniel Religions sent me has everything. So he
when he said about singing song, he probably knows the whole Him book inside
out. Um, yeah, mummy, Okay, let's say from mom,
and those are listening on radio, it's Andre's mom. Well, actually I
had a little struggle between the song that he and her husband and I used
to love to listen to him just sometimes just humming. That's what and I
will used to do it. But mine also five tweet two five three somewhat
connected yea yeah, five tweet two day by day and with this passing movement,
Oh why are you trying to make me cry today? You know?
Let me just say this. I used to sing that song after I got
divorced and moved away, living on my own in a little, one bad
place. That song used to make me cry every time. And it's such
a powerful song, very well day by day. Oh Lord, you're gonna
sing it? Mom, I think they will Chad go out decide one thing
about my parents and my Zenia mentioned this earlier that would always say I can
make a joyful noise onto the Lord in phasis on noise. I didn't grow
up in the singing family. But listening a line man, listening a line
everybody come on by day music by s Sati five, my clients, I
see he's as hallelujah, Come and put your hands together again for mama.
Wonderful song, wonderful wonderful song. Ah, man, that's good, that's
good, Patricia, we need a special song. So I don't know who's
here. If Um Susanna's daughter showed, they still come in there, like
Jesus, they're on the way. You know, Me and Jesus. We

right, yeah, okay, sorry, Just like it is like inspiration for
the whole family or just that's one of your favorites. That's the best with
you, pu, I'd say it's one of my favorites because usually when um,
I don't know when anyone's said, it cheers us up. So that's
when it starts singing it. Okay, you can librate, you can let
oh, okay, the family. Now, you guys are amazing, because
I mean, it's like I'm listening to it. I was going to say
a CD, but there no CDs around, no more. But but it
sounded so good, man, it sounded so good. Your house must be
like a beautiful place to be. It really is. Yeah, we're moving
everyone, we're moving over to that house. And you know what, let
me say, mom and dad. It's great when young people are saying their
home is a beautiful place to be, because I'm at school din with a
lot of children from various schools, and that's not the commentary in a lot
of houses homes. I should say, So we praise God for you guys.
Go ahead, Daniel. Well, I just wanted to ask because this
morning, honey, you were playing an instrument as well, won't you?
Yes? I was, yes. So not only are they singers. They're
musically talented, so that's amazing, and continue to use your gift for the
Lord, your spiritual gift. As Pastory likes to correct me, it's not
a talent, it's a spiritual gift. In the Kingdom, I want to
ask the young man this morning. He was playing that lead guitar like he
was playing on a big set at Glastonbury, one of those And you know,
I'm one of those people. I love hearing that sound because it brings
out the melody of the song. What does playing the instrument mean to you?
I mean the guitar, Well, it's, in my opinion, it's
an amazing instrument for me. You can just like you sit there, you
have your fingers on the threat board and you just move him about and you
can just close your eyes. You know where to put it. Yeah,
it's that feeling that like it satisfies you, and it it was just like
you don't have to think about it, and it's just get lost in the
music. You're fine, and then you'll performed to their list. Basically,
That's what I'm saying. It's just it's amazing how an instrument works. It's
like your brain and the instrument connect. Hey, I was actually going to
say that that. I actually asked him what his most what was his mom
I doing lunch? I said to him, I said, how many instruments
do you play? And he started naming them all off and I said,
okay, next question, what's your strongest instrument? He told me the saxophone.
So with the saxophone, do you feel even more with the guitar?
Um, Well, they're both the same opinion, it's just one's blogging and
the other ones paying playing with your fingers the sacks. I mean, the
saxophone is more of a solo instrument in a way, right. Um.
Obviously guitar has different types of techniques and everything. But with saxophone, there's
that feel, there's a m I don't know, you had to say it.
It's just it pleases everyone. I think, where is it when I
when I played in school, for example, I played and everyone was cheering,
literally everyone. I felt overwhelmed. Um, people said I was better
than the singer. Wow, it was. There's there's a lot of there's
a mute in the whole thing. Playing an instrument, it is pretty good.
How long have you been playing? Um? The saxophone? I've been
playing for about five years the guitar of self taught myself and it's about a
year and a half. Wow, you and a half. Wow. I
can play the drums as well. Yeah. But um, let me,
let me, let me, let me ask you this question. And it
is random, is random, so forgive me. But do you and your
sister fight like normal siblings? Yes? You do? Yes, okay,
and it runs in the family. The family. Then you start and then
you start singing afterwards. Yeah, that's how all the solutions come. Singing
to the man. Um, honey, God bless you, mom and dad
and brother. I didn't get the young man's name, Benjamin Truth, Benjamin
as in the tribe of Benjamin. Okay, Um, but we're happy and
glad that you guys are part of our program. God bless your as you
continue to minister, hopefully we'll have enough time to get you to do one
more before we leave the airwaves today. Wow, guys, this is good.
This is good. We were we were actually thinking that we may have
to do a lot to fill in the program. But this is good quality.
This is Colchester Sevenday Venice Church and they are doing it big style.
Um. There was a group that sangned this morning. Um, they called
them the UNI students. We got to think of another name for the UNI
students that don't sound like a name that they should carry on. Yeah,
So so we need to think of a name of what the unied guys while
they're singing? Can you think of a name for them, the UNI students?
And can I invite you guys to come up and give us a song?
He's that all right? Can you put ants together for the UNI students?
Please halluia, salvation and gloryy, honor and all power to the Lord

wide. They say, right there, guys, don't move a muscle.
Don't move a muscle. I want someone in the congregation to tell me where
that what they sang is taken from in the Bible. It's a verse in
Revelation. I wonder if they know you don okay, Oh, there's a
hand Revelation ninety in my hand Revelation nineteen verse one. That's right, boy,
Ben, you're not only a musician, you're a scholar the world of
God too. And so ladies, listen, man, I actually we I
was actually talking about that verse during lunch. We yeah, that's remember that
you were telling me it was weird because oh wow, yeah wow. Now
listen, man, you called the UNI group, and we're gonna come up
with a name for you all because pop listening by radio probably thinking UNI group.
Um. Anyway, that means that you're from different places. You met.
Did you meet at UNI? You met at UNI? So you actually
came to and use the microphone please. You guys actually came from coaches,
I mean two coaches. So yeah, basically, just that's your story of
how we came together. I think, as you heard in Divine Service,
it was sister shamso is really the reason why we're all together because we all
used to just come as like youth on random time. She'll come once by
herself, there's no one here. I come, there's no youth. They
come, there's no youth. And then she was just like, you girls
need to sing together all of the youth. She didn't care any excuses,
none, of that. So if you need a lift, I will pick
you up. If you need anything, she will literally all here for you.
And from that time. Personally, I'm from Zimbabweb and I had been
struggling with my faith for a long time. And because I'm someone who's so
like centered around music and everything like that, her bringing these guys into my
life has literally any time I give any excuse not to come to church,
They're on me. Why where are you, what are you doing? And
why are you not here? Like God had literally placed Sister Shamso at such
a critical time for us to all come together to meet to just she literally
bound us together like and that's why using her really hurts us a lot.
But we know that, like through music, we know that we are doing
exactly what she wanted us to do. That was God fulfilled her purpose in
our lives. And we're so so grateful for her, Like we cry every
time you mention her. We try because just of how much she brought into
our lives in such a small space of time, Like these guys don't realize
that now we have each other, and like it's what we all needed everyone.
We needed church friends. We needed church friends and she just took one
person to bring us all together. So until we find a name where chamis?

how to solve the problem. Man, I tell you I met I met
Mugabi one day. I was in the airport. I wasn't happy, thought,
let me tell you why I was in the airport okay, And you
know how the airport is in in Harari is No, he wasn't Harari.
He was a bill of whale, small airport. And so we had to
wait because he has one plane that goes to Harari and comes back and the
airspace he has and the airspace, okay, cannot be used while he's he's
doing his trips. My flight was delayed three hours. Remember the man came.
The man had a motorcade waiting at the place. He had the road
at the red carpet, and he walked on the red carpet. His cow
was by the terminal. We were literally by the terminal. He came out
waving at us, you know, and I'm in my mind fuming because he
made me fist miss the first night of the revival. Nevertheless, that's why
it's the movement. We have a lot of humor to deal with all our
political issues. We just have to laugh it through, you know, good
good, and and what is my sister studying other than trying to fight me

happy. But you know it's from like a forty five to eight o'clock in
the morn until midnight, and so when when the sun was setting it was

I'm still in shock, and this is like years ago. Yes, So

to sing as well. So while we were at Amaranatha together, we had
a vibrant youth group. So we continued singing and we're still singing. Yeah,

shocked. Yeah, still show Um so listen man, So you tagged the
Malawi want to be in and you know, as a group, was that
song inspirational for you guys or was it just something you chose there is there
is there something behind it or individually maybe there may be something behind that particular
song. Um, it's a collective feeling about the song. So basically it's
about God's love. It carries us through. It's better than anything. It's
just a reminder when the hassles and bustles of life, you know, bring
us down. Life doesn't mean much, you know, God, God's love
is overall everything. So yeah, that's so a driving force anything on your
mind. I didn't shot because I'm not around here. So what what church
are you? Originally because you keep saying it, but I'm hearing the accent
gets me every time, so I do apologize. I'm an act again.
But they got to march and Maranatha's were in haye. Oh yeah, threw
aport, he throw airport. Okay, I'm sorry. It's actually in the
airport or near the airport. Okay, yeah, you said he through airport.
I'm gonna ask the question. No question is a dumb question, and
let you ask. That's all I'm gonna say. All right, moving on,
Okay, the question dumb, but all right, I just I didn't
know. Okay, and you started Wait, I got a question, you
sugar? Oh sorry, yes, struggling. No, I'm not struggling for
a question. The question was more, um, did you start at a
young age with with your daughters or like was it well personally come from a
very kind of singing for me as well, but my mom sang until last
seventies you know, my dad also loved singing, but he could sing all
the voices. He jumped to bass, ten and superano. I've got two
brothers as we're seeing tenor and bass, and all my sisters. So it's
it's kind of a generational things. So from a very young age, when
young it's like we've been singing, we carry on singing. Okay, wonderful.
Um. I'm glad that you guys are here, because Patricia's got this
thing that Zambians have the best singers, and I just feel that you Kenyan
ladies and the little zimbabwe lady on the side has made a sound that is
so special, and I just want to say to Patricia Nana Nana, I
would also say that Malawi to have good singers as well. Very good,
yeah, very good. When we all get to amen, amen, amen,
um listen. Lastly, um, the baby here, well you're not
even a baby no more. But because I'm old, I can say that
good good when you get to my age as when you're really an adult.
But listen, man, um. You know, singing with did you feel
pressure? Sing with mom and big sister, do you feel pressure? Yeah?
It's nice, it's nice. Yeah, But what about when they sing
their old kind of music and you want to sing something young, I just
keep quiet, you keep quiet, don't comment, you know, okay,
okay, and then you get through the song and then you go put your
AirPods in a yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you, I got
you, I got you, because you know, not to say they look
older than you. But you know, I understand the young people not wanting
to sing certain songs. So what would you sing? Then? Hey,
you can't ask her that she may come out with drill or something like that.
She might have a Balta clausa in her bag, you know, a
balaclava. But I'm sure she likes the youthful gospel sounds. Amen, But
I know it sister does too. So yeah, an artist, what gospel?
Yeah, you have to ask the question whether it's gospel where you you
know she wasn't talking yet. Yeah, oh yeah, that's that's good.
Mush, that's good. That's good. I want to ask your sister.
But that's good. That's good. Anyway, guys, give my hand please,
thank you so much. Um hayes man arka um, absolutely amazing,
man, absolutely amazing. So your group will sing, but we need we
need Tara to sing before she leaves. I want to tell a little bit
about Tara Um for those that don't know, she sang this morning. UM.
And I always say this that um Tya is from Birmingham, Alabama,
And if you know anything about the South, you know that she can sing
because when they can sing and ventin. I was down there for seventy years
and I'm telling you, man, every church who went to Pedro, they
can proper sing. But you know it's hard for Tara because over there the
church helps you along. As you see over here, they sit like popsicles
just watching you, waiting for you to make a mistake and then they come
in. UM. But also Tara Um was one of the finalists for Songs
of Praise. UM. Yeah, if you if you google it, you'll
you'll see her there. She was one of the finalists. He was her
and three other people. UM. What a competition. It was first one,
the first one, Yeah, the very first one. They've had another
second year. And for those that don't know what that is, it's like
a gospel kind of UM singing competition like Britain's Got Talent, American ilogs factor
on it. But it's the gospel one and um. And it was great
because um, they didn't have to hide their faith. Um. Tara was
wasn't well in the final, but she was still able to represent well.
UM and I I just believe she was well in the final. You'll be
holding up the trophy today, trust me. M Pedro and the family,
we saw them. They had a whole thing about the family on the TV
and it was nice to see it. I mean, it was just great
to see people that we know and they're singing in a gospel competition, not
trying to sell this so well, come on say it man, singing for
the gospel. And So Tara, we're grateful for what you do for God.
And I know God is grateful for what He's prompted inside of you.
And I I just asked you to come and bless us one more time.
Amen. This is Colchester, guys, and we're having a good time.
After this, we're going to that Patricia and a group do whatever they're gonna
do, Amen, and then we'll we'll wrap up. So I was listening
to everyone's seeing different hymns and one that came across that I love. It's
passed me not at so Savia my mom. I hear I used to hear
her thing next when she played the organ, and it's just hearing her.
It's just she's singing stimonies to her songs. And every time I live,
every time I sing it, I think of her, and I hope to
be blessed by it. Pass me not oh git to say? Have you
he my hum? Bo? Cry? Whoy? Don't know now? Oh
col dude, not pass me by? I'm crying, Say you see mine

Fi? Do not pass me by? Oh do you not my past?
My past? I sor don't go back to your seat, or you can
go. You can use the microphone. We're on radio. Amen, you
don't have to see it, but listen, man, I want to ask
a question, and we're gonna ban pedro from asking any questions because you're all
related. But but I want to ask this question, as you know,
the journey that you had on Songs of Praise, you know, none of
us have been in that kind of environment, but I don't think, so
tell us what that's like, you know, the whole competition thing, and
when it's not really a competition, I'm sure tell us what the journey was
like. I was around a lot of humble people that I was in a
competition competition with, and behind the scenes it was stressful, you know,
just check getting a nerve together, you know, singing in front of a
TV audience, and it was just a lot to take on. But at
the end of the day, I was happy for the opportunity that God had
given me because I had been here for a short time and no one really
knew me as a you know, singer or gospel artists or whatever. So
it gave me an opportunities to get seen um in the UK and to meet
some wonderful people. Behind the scenes, I was working with Ken Burton and
some other um you know people, the executives that was there, and I
was just so happy to be among humble people. I mean, it wasn't
like we was fighting against who sing the best, because I wasn't there for
them, because my main purpose was to share the word of God with people
in in you know, in a nationwide way. And I was just happy
that I was able to just meet and just be in that type of environment.
Wonderful, wonderful. Um, My question would be did you get support
from church folk? I did, and it was just it was just wonderful
that I was able to, you know, get filmed at my church I
go to at fartime. It's not far time anymore, is it. It's
that Bradley church. Yeah. So at the time I was at, um
what time it is for a time, But now SD Bradley. So they
opened you know, the people up with open arms to come and do you
know, you know me singing and everything, and it was just they was
just so helpful and they was willing to open up the church doors for me
to have that time. Yeah, because I think sometimes we put ministry in
a box, yeah, and we feel there's only some certain way to do
it, in a certain place to do it, etc. Yeah. So
I just wanted to understand whether you got the support of the chat because that
was a powerful ministry exposing gospel and God to the world in that sense,
And did you feel like you could have did you feel like you had to
you might have wanted if you signed secular music? Did you think that play
the factor? Or The funny thing is when I passed me not what's one
of my first songs? I'm saying, And behind the scenes, I saw
the judges because it was prerecorded show, so the judges were sitting there and
they were standing up. One lady threw a book on the floor and it
was just it was just one of experience and they loved the way I sound
and everything, and then you know, I was like, okay, I
made it through the first round. And then I had some other people singing,
and she did sing like a facular song I can remember by Um,
what was it, Petro, don't ask me, I forgot no. Yeah,
we're like, oh no, no, it's a different one. No.
I was just learning Richie. She had did a learning Richie song.
Yeah, and um, I think and me and the other people, the
other contestants, they did some gospel songs as well, so I thought they
was looking for gospel because my second song was his Eyes on the Sparrow and
which one of my favorite songs I love. So I wasn't sure what they
was looking for. But with the judges that we had, because we had
Grant and and I think their name was Alexandra. Alexandra, yeah, young
girl. She was on the X Fact. Yeah, she's on the X
Factor. Yeah, just sing with m yes. Oh yeah, yeah,
So you know I met her and everything. You know she was, she
was okay, you know, I would have been nice. I'm just being
for real. I'm gonna always be honest. I felt like she could have
been a little bit more nice. But the other judges was real. Heather,
Heather, what's her name, night, Heather Night, she was.
She came to me and yeah, she came to me behind the scenes and
she said, girl, I know, I know you're singing. But the
other judges was R and B judges. Yea, you know, so you
know, everybody tastes different, so you know, which was fine with me.
I just did what I had to do. I sang my part and
I wasn't mad about it. I was happy that the other girl won because
she hadn't been singing for a long time. She was she was older than
me, so you know she had did her song or whatever, and I
was happy for her. I mean because at the end of the day,
Um, I got what God wanted me to do to wanted me to spread
the word and that Amen, come on quick, your hands together again the
chart. Amen. As we come to the end of our Talking Point program
on a Ventist Radio London, and I'm going to ask Petric to get her
group together. And while she's doing that, Pedro and Zenia, how's it
been how you guys find a day? Oh it's been amazing. But the
standard here has been set ye hey hey, um and I have truly been
blessed. And I think for me, what the core that has struck me
throughout this program is God's love. It's God's love every song, every every
artist. We that's what's resonating in them and what's what they're sharing with others
is the power and the goodness of God. It could the same thing.
UM. I love music, So music is a UM it's always like we
say, it just cleans your soul, helps you feel better, um,
just gets you through the rough times. So I definitely have enjoyed myself is
a different aspect of doing Walking Point. So I'm glad we did a music
show. So just to show a little difference, I've always you know,
always have to talk and talk and talk sometimes, you know, music talks
for herself. So yeah, like I'm just echonomism. You just said pretty
much. Amen preciate. Okay, So yeah, we're gonna sing this song.
Um, they're gonna introview usself to the song John Song. I could

we talked to everybody else. We got to talk to you. You are
a resident, residents of this church. You live here. Um, this
is where you worship. And I want to say this, man, what
a great song to end the day? Um, great song to the end
of the day. First of all, whose choice was it? Don't say,
Patricia, Oh no, there's a story behind it. Okay, let's
say the story before COVID. I think it's before COVID, isn't it before
COVID. We'd been practicing this song, me and myself and Shamila and Shamiso
and I think by the hotelor was here at the time. We've been practicing
and trying to get this song to sing in church at some point, and
it was one of the songs that we were meant to be singing with shamisso
today, so that it's a tribute to her. We finally got to sing
it in church after so many years of trying to sing it in church.
So I think it was befitting. Um. We look forward to sing shami
in in in the regions. I don't want to cry, I don't want
to correct, but we look forward to sing her again. Wish she was
here to sing with us, but God had his way. So we just
want to say thank you. Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen. Well
I'm glad after three years of practice you said before COVID, right, we
didn't practice the whole three years we signed before you mean COVID interrupted. Yes,
yeah, we know, we know you went to Zambia for a year
when most of us are working our off here. Yes, that was very
clear, and we saw all those posts that you were posting to annoy us.
So let me talk to the I want to talk to the to the
piano man over now, this was the base group over here? Did I
get that right? Yeah? Let me say this. And these guys who
these are these are tenants? Yea, these are low tenants base Yeah,
I think that. Can you start interrupt me? I'm talking to the bass
guy Zenia, you know, Zenia and and Giany's not here. But both
of those need a lot of prayer because you know, poor Pedro. But
listen, man, I don't want to be quiet man. The eighteen years,
you know, want to be quiet. I don't man, but listen
um real quick. Um. You know one of the things that sing in
these kinds of songs sometimes you know, for us the bass isn't low enough
because they kind of sing it a little bit higher. Um, how are
you guys? Because I listened to you guys and it came over massive.
How you guys? I mean getting him to Mike? Tell me how you
how you doing the bass man? Talk to me? One of you were
lower than the other, but he was powerful. Um. So the question
is you took it lower than the regular song. That's what it sounded like.
Why. Um? Well, for me, I grew up in a
musical family. Yes, um, but when I went off to secondary school.
So when I was ten, my parents sent me off to boarding school.
Okay, that tells you how troublesome I was at home. Yeah,
no, no, no, no, that was the normal thing. But
yeah I was cool. Um. I grew up around the single group called
a cappella. Yes, yes, and so the first time I heard him,
I was kind of fascinated because the base wasn't the usual I was used
to growing up in church. So I'll be alone and I'll just put my
headphones on and just hume along, and with time it kind of became my
my thing thing. So I just kind of just picked it up as I
as I went along. And where did you get your base from? Maybe
here? Well, I was actually complimenting what you know, he's singing on
the base. Now, I was just being to make it right. Okay,
you know I rebuked that whole thing. You yeah, okay, no,
no, no, but listen, man, God bless you both.
And I want to ask the ten as a question. My son sings a
very high tenna. He's to sing in a group in America. They called
himself the buckets. I said, why you called yourself the buckets? Because
they were at school just like you guys. And he says, because they
want to be filled with the Holy Spirit anyway, but he sang, he's
sang tennor um. Now, where are you from? Ghana? You're from
from Hungry, Hungry, You're from Okay, three different places, but you
complimented each other so well. The man with the mic, because he got
sermon on his chest and I'm gonna pick on him. And it wasn't difficult
to blend with these guys being from different places. I don't think so you
don't think so. No, man, when you're sing in a group,
it doesn't matter where you are from. It's just can you voices crossing each
other, and it creates a nice harmony. Good. Good. That's what
I feel like when I was saying with these guys when we first come to
Courtius, the church, this was the first church which sung with power?
Oh really? Yes? Yeah, because you had to cover Patricia. Yes,
ladies and gent thank you very much for blessing us today. Thank you.
We're going to wrap up here on stage. You can take your seat.
You're gonna wrap up here on stage. Um. Well, guys,
wow, Pedro, Wow, say something now, give me a closing comment.
What did you enjoy about today? Take away? Ladies? Okay,
he said he learned how to be quiet. Man, so he said,
ladies. First, all I can say is I am looking forward to heaven,
Amen, I really am. What a wonderful experience it will be when
we're all sing and shout and when we'll see Jesus face to face. This
is just a taste. Yeah, this is just a taste. Let us
be faithful. Amen. Amen, Amen, Pedro, what do you go
I've just been thinking about just hearing all the different musics and the different reasons
why they singing, why they sang and the last what, um, what
she just said, you know, for the lady that passed away. So
that just kind of just threw me for a little loop there. So I
just I honestly just kind of went blank. Yeah, no problem, man,
we got that. We got that. Um. Let me just say
as we close today, UM, I've really enjoyed the day from the moment
I stepped in the door until the end and enjoyed it. It was good.
Even though Patricia was long this morning. Gave me a short time to
preach. I'm saying it on radio, um, which means I have to
not come back. Amen. No, Patricia, Patricia, thank you,
but the Adventage Radio than we are happy that you allowed us to be a
part of the program today. It is it is your station, amen,
it is. It is a community station. And we praise God for those
that have contributed already and those that will contribute to keeping us on air.
The Lord is blessing via the radio. We've had more baptisms last year than
we've ever had on the radio. Come on, say amen, We've had
two baptismal services that we've had and one of those, the first one was
give a part of it. Come on with Kayla. Give her hand,
everyone, give her hand. She's part of our family. Whenever she's in
Watford, we bring her on the radio and she talks about her experience with
the Lord and to Kayla, God bless you. And I want to say
thank you to Patricia. As hard as it is, because there is a
lot of people who listen to Adventist Radio London now because of Patricia. Yeah,
you know, she got folk on the prayer line listening. I think
the folking cultures which she probably had a gun to their head because yeah,
yeah, one lady told me today she said, you're gonna say it.
Okay, good But nevertheless, thank you Patricia for being an excellent supporter.
We wanted to give you an award but Paul couldn't get enough money up to
get it down. Well that's Adventures Radio London. Thanks again, Amen,
Father, this has been a great day. We've really enjoyed ourselves in the
Lord. We've sung, we've prayed, we've preached, we've eaten together.
And now Lord, as we leave this place, please maybe never leave your
presence. Take us through this untried weak. Lord, please go ahead of
us. And there's somebody in this building, Lord that is facing a tough
week ahead. And I pray Lord that you will go and mend every situation,
beat back the forces of evil, and allow christ to be uplifted in
their lives. Give us testimonies beyond testimonies and testimonies, and then, Lord,
because of Sham, so we are reflecting on how serious life is.
And maybe you allowed this to happen because you wanted us to take life serious.
And so may we all make our calling an election short tonight because we
don't know when our eyes were closed. Adventist Radio, London inspiration for the song
