The Song that Parallels my Life
Dr. John LaNoue • October 25, 2021
The Song that Parallels my Life
- It begins with, “My days are numbered.” I am 87 years old so I know that I am on the short count of days
2. “I was made to walk with God.”
As a young man, God did not rule my life. Until I was 16.
3. “ Jesus covered all my failings he is my Redeemer!”
I realized that at 16 when I looked at my life and said there must be a better way. I asked him to be my Savior and forgive all my sins and he became my Redeemer!
4. “I am his forevermore” and “He is mine forevermore.”
We have formed a relationship that will not be dissolved. Like the Trinity, we are bound together in a unity relationship. We are connected!
5. “Walk through the valley where I see no earthly good.”
The ministry to which he has called me has been disaster relief and humanitarian aid. I have worked in North Korea, and Iran, Serbia, and many others. I have worked in situations where nature and some people at war have caused great pain!
6 . My pain Is not wasted as God completes his work in me.”
My pain has sensitized me to the pain of others. It has also motivated me to help others become free from their pain. It also helps me understand the heartbreak of God over my sin and his heartbreak over the condition of our world.
7. “ I am a pilgrim on the narrow way” with Jesus.
My deepest desire is to follow the will of God for my life. When I pray, I am not trying to get God to do my will, but my prayer is He will shape my mind and desires to follow His will!
8. “ Being one with Christ I will encounter harm and hatred for his name.”
In many of the places I have served, I have been walking the razors age between life and death. As in one instance, after a month of living in the Iranian Mountains feeding Kurdish refugees, an Iranian soldier ejected the bullet from his AK-47, handed it to me, and said, “This one was for you, but I just didn’t use it.”
God has armored me with faith in him and in his angelic protection. He has given me the confidence that if he cares for me, and sends into these situations, he will protect me. This form of ministry has been continuing since 1967. I have been aware that I’m covered with sufficient armor that will last to the end of the war.
9. “He will deliver me safely to that Golden shore!”
That will be when I retire from the field of battle to be in His presence in heaven!
10. “Mine are keys to Zion City, where beside the King I walk.”
Through my acceptance of the work of Christ on the cross, I have been granted the privilege of walking with the king! He desired to walk with Adam in the garden of Eden, now I have the pleasure of walking with the king every morning because my heart has found its treasure, Christ is mine forevermore!
I hope you understand the message that I have received through this song because it is not for me alone, but for all of those who would take Jesus as their Savior! This song mirrors my experience with God.
The message it has is simple, trust Jesus Christ as your Savior and he will be yours forevermore! When you stand in the presence of God, you will be there as a result of Christ’s work on the cross and the father will see you as one of his own! A child of the King!
11. The last verse says, “Come rejoice now, O my soul for his love is my reward!”
What greater victory could you have? Than to know Christ’s love is yours forevermore!

Access to quality Medical Care is a fundamental human right. However, millions of people around the world, especially in rural regions and developing countries, lack this access. In northern Uganda, the situation is particularly challenging due to a combination of factors such as poverty, armed conflict, population displacement, and lack of infrastructure. Amigos Internationa l, aware of this problem, has undertaken a series of initiatives to improve the health of communities in northern Uganda. Through the construction of health centres, the training of health personnel and the implementation of disease prevention programmes, the organisation is transforming the lives of thousands of people.
In the heart of Northern Uganda lies Ogul Village, a community facing significant healthcare challenges. From March 28th to 30th, a transformative event will unfold: the Ogul Village Medical Camp, a collaborative effort by Doctors on Mission International and Amigos Internacionales. This three-day initiative brings quality healthcare and hope to over 3,000 individuals.
In Uganda, countless communities remain deprived of clean water, a fundamental human right. Amigos International is actively addressing this crisis by constructing deep wells, implementing rainwater harvesting systems, and promoting essential hygiene practices. These initiatives are not merely beneficial; they are transforming lives and reshaping the future of entire communities.
In Northern Uganda, Ogul Village faces severe healthcare shortages. From March 28th to 30th, the Ogul Village Medical Camp will provide essential medical services to over 3,000 residents. This initiative, led by Doctors on Mission International and Amigos Internacionales, aims to deliver critical healthcare and instill hope in the community.
In Northern Uganda, children are dying from treatable diseases due to a lack of local medical facilities. Establishing clinics at MissionPoints is essential to provide life-saving care and prevent unnecessary deaths.

Their initiatives don't just feed the hungry; they empower communities to achieve lasting self-sufficiency.
Water is essential for life, yet millions in developing countries lack access to clean and safe drinking water. This blog explores the significance of water projects in transforming lives, the challenges faced in implementing these projects, and the profound impact that access to water has on communities. The Importance of Clean Water Access Clean water is fundamental for health, sanitation, and economic stability. This section will discuss the direct benefits of clean water access and its crucial role in reducing disease and improving quality of life. Access to clean water significantly reduces the prevalence of waterborne diseases, which disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. When communities can rely on safe drinking water, children are less likely to suffer from illnesses such as cholera and dysentery, which can be fatal. Improved health translates into better school attendance and productivity in work, fostering a cycle of positive growth. Moreover, water projects empower women and girls, who often bear the burden of water collection. By alleviating this responsibility with localized water sources, women can engage in education and employment opportunities, thus breaking the cycle of poverty and promoting gender equality. The transformation is not solely physical; it systematically uplifts entire communities. In essence, investing in clean water access is investing in human potential. When basic human needs are met, it provides a foundation for dignity, resilience, and the pursuit of a better future. Communities thrive, economies grow, and the social fabric becomes more robust—all of which hinge on the most fundamental element of life: water.

Education advocacy plays a crucial role in shaping the future leaders of our society. By promoting equitable opportunities and fostering a supportive learning environment, we can empower the next generation to succeed. In this blog, we will explore the importance of education advocacy, the challenges faced by students today, and how we can work together to create positive change. Understanding Education Advocacy Education advocacy encompasses efforts to promote policies and practices that enhance learning opportunities for all students. It involves raising awareness about educational issues and advocating for necessary changes. This advocacy can take many forms, ranging from ensuring funding for resources to addressing systemic inequities in our education system. At its core, education advocacy is about amplifying the voices of those who are often unheard. This includes students, parents, and teachers who face barriers in accessing quality education. When we engage in advocacy, we provide a platform for diverse perspectives, helping to identify the real challenges that impact learning experiences. Moreover, understanding the role of education advocacy is essential for those looking to make a meaningful difference. By delving into the history of educational reforms and the current landscape, advocates can better strategize their efforts. The journey begins with informed individuals who are passionate about improving educational systems.
In Northern Uganda, diseases like malaria claim the lives of innocent children far too often. These deaths are not the result of complex diseases, but rather the absence of basic healthcare services. The story of Grace, a second-grade teacher, and her daughter, Miriam, paints a devastating picture of the urgent need for medical clinics in this region. A Tragic, Preventable Loss Grace, like many parents in Northern Uganda, works tirelessly to provide for her family and serve her community. As a teacher, she has dedicated her life to helping children grow and learn. But when her own daughter, Miriam, fell ill with malaria, Grace found herself helpless. The nearest clinic was miles away, and even if they could have reached it, there was no guarantee that they would have access to the necessary medicine—a simple malaria pill. Miriam’s condition worsened, and Grace watched, powerless, as her young daughter’s life slipped away. A single dose of medication could have saved Miriam, but without a local medical facility or access to basic pharmaceuticals, her life was lost. She was just six years old. Grace’s story is not an exception—it is the heartbreaking reality faced by countless families across Northern Uganda. Malaria, pneumonia, diarrhea, and other treatable illnesses continue to take lives simply because there are no clinics to provide the care these communities desperately need.
