Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere

Those are the words of Psalm 84:10 and the inspiration behind Fresh Winds Choir the touring worship group that seeks to praise God through songs, and similarly to encourage and inspire others to do the same.

This Sunday, March 18, the group was at City Gospel Mission as part of their 2012 Spring Tour. And what a worship and praise moment it was! It is unlikely that any of the twenty-plus people in the pews will forget the experience any time soon. For more than an hour and half they were on their feet, completely absorbed in the choir's message of inspiration, hope and praise.

Although that is precisely the ministry of City Gospel Mission , a special occasion like this reminds everyone of the blessings and the privilege of being called the child of God. Even more so when we settle into a routine and take it for granted.

There was also inspiration from the story of a member of the group who was once lost in addiction but found new life and meaning in God's mercy and grace and today he cannot cease to praise God.

Check out the choir's schedule; they might be coming to a church near you, and if they are, make every effort to join them in worship and praise – it is a transforming experience.
