    • Watch the Amazing Movie “Tell the World” for FREE on YouTube!

    Posted on

    Last week, I watched the movie Tell the World. It was absolutely wonderful! This movie relates the history of the beginning of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in the 1800s. The acting was excellent, the music superb, and the cinematography so well done. Because the movie is 2.5 hours long, I had intended to watch about an hour and then watch the rest later, but once I started watching, I couldn’t stop! The movie was that outstanding that I had to watch it in its entirety! You can watch this amazing and inspiring movie for FREE on the official Seventh-Day Adventist YouTube channel. Here is the direct link to the movie in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH2r0J5VbL4

    The movie is also available in French, Portuguese and Spanish on the official SDA YouTube channel.

    Portuguese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llVU37yjPBQ

    Spanish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poCE9X7RVxY

    If you don’t want to watch all 2.5 hours of the movie at once, you can watch individual episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/user/Adventistsaboutlife/playlists

    Here is the description of the movie from the official SDA YouTube channel:

    “Tell the World” shares the compelling story of a small group of farmers from the northeast region of the United States who would go on to set the foundation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Since the 19th century, the Church has been at the forefront of matters relating to health, education, communication and Biblical interpretation.

    This movie was such a blessing to watch. I know you will be abundantly blessed as well by watching it. I can’t recommend it enough!

    • Music Video of Pro Deo Choir Members Singing “When We All Get to Heaven.”

    Posted on

    After Amanda was severely injured in the December 2 incident, some members of the Pro Deo choir made a video of themselves singing “When We All Get to Heaven” to encourage Amanda. Click on the link below to watch the video, and be sure to subscribe to the Peace for the Storm YouTube channel!

    Sing the wondrous love of Jesus
    Sing His mercy and His grace
    In the mansions bright and blessed
    He’ll prepare for us a place

    When we all get to heaven
    What a day of rejoicing that will be
    When we all see Jesus
    We’ll sing and shout the victory

    While we walk the pilgrim pathway
    Clouds will overspread the sky
    But when travelling days are over
    Not a shadow, not a sigh

    Let us then be true and faithful
    Trusting, serving every day
    Just one glimpse of Him in glory
    Will the toils of life repay!

    Onward to the prize before us
    Soon His beauty we’ll behold
    Soon the pearly gates will open
    We shall tread the streets of gold

    • Music video of “Jesus Is All the World to Me” by Weimar College Nursing Students.

    Posted on

    After the December 2 incident, Amanda’s theme song has become “Jesus is All the World to Me.” A group of nursing students from Weimar College made a video of themselves singing this hymn to encourage Amanda. We hope you are blessed by this beautiful song as well. Click on the link below to watch the video.

     

    Jesus is all the world to me / My life, my joy, my all / He is my strength from day to day / Without Him I would fall/ When I am sad, to Him I go / no other one can cheer me so / When I am sad, He makes me glad / He’s my friend.

    Jesus is all the world to me / My friend in trials sore / I go to Him for blessings, and / He gives them o’er and o’er / He sends the sunshine and the rain / He sends the harvest’s golden grain/ Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain / He’s my friend.

    Jesus is all the world to me / And true to Him I’ll be / O how could I this Friend deny / When He’s so true to me? / Following Him I know I’m right / He watches o’er me day and night / Following Him by day and night / He’s my friend.

    Jesus is all the world to me / I want no better friend / I trust him now, I’ll trust Him when / Life’s fleeting days shall end / Beautiful life with such a Friend / Beautiful life that has no end / Eternal life, eternal joy / He’s my friend.

    • Welcome to the website!

    welcome

    Peace for the Storm has been up and running as a project for exactly one month today! And today, we’re launching our website–it’s still a bit under construction, but that just means we have lots in store! One of the main reasons we developed the website was to have a way to involve you, our readers, with the project. We would love to have you contribute to our project by sharing your favorite inspirational verses and hymns. Photographers–we’d love to have submissions from you as well! Head on over to the Submissions page to see what we’re looking for as far as our color scheme. We also want to make it easy for you to Pin, share and save our content through the website. In fact, several people have told us they have saved Peace for the Storm pictures to their phones or computers and used them as wallpapers, so guess what? We’re formatting some of our most popular posts as wallpapers! We only have a few at the moment, but keep an eye out for more coming soon on the Downloads page. We’re also beginning to share expanded content related to our daily images–devotional thoughts, guest posts, and even music links. So please bookmark our site and keep coming back!

    We’re pretty excited about how well the project has taken off, and we’re so thankful for all the support everyone has shown, sharing our posts on Facebook and Instagram and even Pinterest (we just got going with that last week!). We’re nearing 600 followers on Facebook, and we’re just a bit over 200 on Instagram so far. We actually did not expect our following to grow this quickly, and we know that it is all due to God. But Peace for the Storm is not about likes and followers, in that it is a popularity contest or that we’re trying to drive numbers. It’s about spreading the message we feel God has given us… the message of hope and peace and encouragement in the middle of the chaos of life. It’s about joining together as believers (or non-believers looking for hope) as we wait for the day when all the pain and heartache in this world will one day be over and we will finally be with Him. We’re so glad you’ve decided to visit our site or follow us on social media, and we truly hope this project can be a blessing to you and to others you share it with!
