Album Notes

“YESU ANIONA” CD by SARAH KARIUKI Vision: My vision is to be an inspiration and touch lives through music in a way that will create change and promote godliness. Calling: I committed my life to Jesus Christ at the age of 16 and he has remained the Lord and Saviour of my life. God has been faithful to sustain me on my Christian walk with him and my part also is to remain faithful to him. Involvement: During my high school years I was very much involved with all music activities in the Christian Union and other school events and this progressed my musical talents. I learnt a lot on music dynamics while singing in the church choir and as a praise and worship leader. I enjoy participatory praise and worship that involve action as this makes everyone involved! My musical activities has enhanced my gifts and talents and opened other doors for my music ministry. I have received invitations to sing in churches, schools, crusades, open-air meetings, weddings, on the radio and TV. In the past I sang in a group of four called,“The Sanctified Voices”. We traveled to so many places and had fun singing together – memories I’ll live to remember. I am involved in leading songs during some of our Kenyan Christian Community events in Ontario, Canada. I do sing in my local church and other Multicultural events. My heart’s desire is to maintain my musical roots. Songs on the CD: My songwriting comes naturally from texts that I may have read from the Bible, my testimony or day-to-day life encounters. I remember very well that I started writing songs when I was in grade 5. I feel challenged that I have to utilize my gift for God’s glory. I taught myself how to play the guitar and I am glad that I can play the instrument by ear and I love it. It always amazes me the way God has given each one of us very “special” and “unique” gifts and my heart’s desire is to exploit this gift. I am pleased to have recorded “Yesu Aniona” CD. The songs on the CD are Christian songs that speak about God’s love, goodness, salvation, kindness, and his majestic power and encouragement to have faith in all that we do. There are many life challenges that we face each day but the songs remind us to remain strong and firmly rooted in God. Family, relatives, colleagues and friends always tell me to continue singing and I’ll keep on. Children too enjoy listening to my music. This is just but the beginning of my journey as I know I have a long way to go especially, promoting Christian Gospel Music. Asante Sana! Sarah Kariuki
