By the time I was ten, I was totally ashamed of my father.

All my friends called him names: Quasi-Moto, hunchback, monster, little Frankenstein, the crooked little man with the crooked little cane.

At first, it hurt when they called him those things, but soon I found myself agreeing with them. He was ugly, and I knew it!

My father was born with something called parastremmatic dwarfism. The disease made him stop growing when he was about thirteen and caused his body to twist and turn into a grotesque shape.

It wasn't too bad when he was a kid. But soon after my birth, things started getting worse.

Another genetic disorder took over, and his left foot started turning out, almost backward. His right arm curled in and up, and his index finger almost touched his elbow.

His walk became slow, awkward, and deliberate. I hated to be seen with him. Everyone stared. They seemed to pity me.

By the time I was seventeen, I was blaming all my problems on my father.

Some encouraging letters we received in April from our listeners around the world:

Location: Brazil Comments: I praise God for the wonderful ministry which is Allworship.com. I have been blessed daily for almost 3 years now, listening to it even at work. I pray that God will prosper this ministry and greatly bless all those involved in it. Thank you.

Location: Tennessee Comments: We listen to allworship. We got a bad report on a cat scan that was given to my husband that his cancer was back. I was so upset, I just kept praying for the Lord to comfort me and give me peace of mind and let me know he still cared. While I was doing my laundry I came and sat in the living room of course I had my allworship music playing, you started playing a song that simply said "God hasn’t forgotten you yet”. I don’t know who sings it, but it sure helped me and encouraged me. I just wanted to let you know how very much I appreciate what you are doing in promoting the gospel in music. May God Bless your station. In Christ.

AllWorship.com has now been broadcasting Christian worship music on the internet for over a decade! Christians in faraway countries who don’t have access to a radio station can listen to worship music and it doesn’t cost them a dime–our ministry picks up the tab. Nearly half of our listening audience comes from outside of North America. All this is made possible by your financial support of our not-for-profit ministry. Thank you for your trust and your generous donations.
