SONG - RISE UP
“Rise Up” was written as a song of hope for the Ati people in the Philippines, an indigenous tribe suffering from discrimination and poverty. What a privilege to connect with this beautiful yet poor tribe, helping them with medical treatment, running water, feedings and most importantly, sharing the light of Jesus. The song is written as an anthem and declaration that God loves us all equally.
“Every tribe every nation
Is a plan of creation
I’m rising up how You made me
I’m proud to be Ati”
