EXCITING NEWS

Over the summer of 2016 Songs for Saplings was featured at the Evangile 21 conference in Geneva, Switzerland. The Evangile 21 conference is run in conjunction with The Gospel Coalition as their French-language counterpart.
On the second day of the conference the release of the entire set of 6 volumes (114 songs) of “Questions et Réponses” in French was announced.
This release marks the first time all 6 volumes of “Questions with Answers” have been made available in a language other than English! This represents 6 years of work with many trips, and over a hundred people who worked on translating, singing, recording, engineering, and managing the project.
If you’re not familiar with the “Questions with Answers” series, it includes 6 albums of songs to help kids learn the foundations of the Christian faith. The music covers a dozen topics and has Scripture verses integrated into the songs to help kids memorize the truths of Scripture. You can learn more about the questions with answers music series here.
MORE GREAT NEWS
At the conference, Songs for Saplings was able to distribute over 600 USB drives at NO COST to pastors, church planters, and ministry leaders who are working in France, Belgium, and French-speaking countries in Africa! The USB drives contained all the “Questions with Answers” music in French and English, along with all the lyrics sheets for the music. These were given as gifts to the pastors and leaders as a free ministry resource for their churches, families, and ministries.
We were thanked by many people who see this as a valuable resource for the Church and we’ve already seen hundreds of visits to our website from France since the conference from other people wanting to download the music.
Here is some of the feedback we’ve seen so far:
“We have really loved these songs. We listened to them daily during our summer vacation road trips . Our children enjoy the melodies and already know a many of the songs by heart.”
-Emmanuel
“I work with university students and I am surprised by the questions they cannot answer. Most students can tell you some Bible stories, but are not able to explain something like how men were saved before the coming of Christ. Thanks to your songs, I hope I will soon welcome a new generation of students who will be able to answer with songs from their childhood.” -Pascal
