Our lovely friends at ARC Blackburn are looking for a caseworker to join their team!

We are pleased to share Worship Word Video, a new resource created by Stephen, who works with Kairos Housing and loves using technology to solve practical problems.

Many churches particularly smaller congregations do not have access to live musicians and rely on YouTube worship videos.

From experience, finding suitable videos with clear song words can take hours and hours.

Worship Word Video brings together more than 52,000 YouTube worship videos with words, covering English and more than 100 other languages.

As a charity working within the Christian faith, we know how important and wonderful it can be to help people worship in their own language the language that speaks most deeply to their hearts.

This could be especially valuable for multilingual churches and congregations where English is a second language. For example, a Farsi speaking member of a congregation could find familiar songs in Farsi or with translated words.

The app is completely free to use:

https://www.worshipwordvideo.org

Using the app does not require a donation. However, anyone who wishes to give can make an optional gift to Kairos Housing through the link provided supporting our work of Rebuilding lives with dignity.

Please share this with any churches, worship leaders, pastors or communities that might find it useful.
