Welcome to the BALM Ministries Website!

The Guest Book and Blog pages have changed:
Leave your comments on our new "Guest or Blog" page, or read the current happenings on the
"Chronicles" page.

I'm so glad you came to visit us and pray that you see the hope that Jesus gives us when you read these pages.  The
Bible tells us in 1 Peter to ALWAYS be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks, a reason for the hope that is
within us.  It is in that spirit that we write on these pages, that we sing the songs and write the lyrics that tell about that
hope.  If people leave their email addresses and names, I answer every email, too - praying always that you can receive
Christ in you, the hope of glory!

It's a new year which is especially cool for people who know the One who makes ALL things new!  Our families pray for you to especially gifted this year with a vision for your purpose in Christ Jesus.  My son, John, has been impressing on us with his Bible studies how important our Purpose is in each of our lives.  When the Holy Spirit shows us our purpose, it informs every decision and directs our steps on each path we take.  Someone told me long ago when I was first starting in ministry that I was very "lucky."  She said, "Hey, at least you know what Jesus wants you to be doing."  I had never really thought about that before - what an amazing gift in my life that my purpose, my calling was given to me when I was young!  We pray for your purpose and calling this year and ask you to pray for us and ours.  Happy New Year!

 Blessings, Marsha and Cindy
 


 

"If Larry Norman is to be called the father of Christian Rock, then Marsha Stevens certainly deserves to be known as the mother of contemporary Christian music, a title that Christian Century and others have bestowed upon her. She was the leader of what is considered to be the world's first contemporary Christian music group, Children of the Day, and she has continued as a solo artist to produce albums of worship-oriented and edifying adult contemporary pop. As such, she remains the progenitor of what, by 2002, would become the single most popular genre in the contemporary Christian music market." - Excerpt from "The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music", Sept. 2002
