Written in 2020 with Bede Benjamin-Korporaal as a reminder that while the world seemed like it was falling apart, We Press On.
Each day we get to decide to be the good that can unite and make a change in those around us.
2020 and onward brought more of those opportunities than we could ever expect.
As Christians the good in us is because we know the one who ultimately is good and who’s good flows through us... God’s love.
We’ve partnered “We Press On” with our friends at Watoto Child Care (Watoto) in Kampala, Uganda who truly understand the concept of daily choosing to appreciate the good in this life.
They were abandoned but have been rescued and restored to life and now they share the goodness of God all over the world.
Watoto has sent out over 100 choirs in the last 25 years, performing all over the world and even for Presidents and the Queen. This is the third time they’ve joined us on a song. Previous songs are Life Again, Never Alone and The Heart of the Father.
Watoto reaches and cares for the most vulnerable in Uganda, the widow and the orphan. Over the last 25 years their mission has remained the same - to RESCUE from abandonment, RAISE UP in Godly character and through the abandoned REBUILD the nation of Uganda.
Currently Watoto, a branch of Watoto Church, offers holistic care to over 3,000 rescued children. They have adopted them into Watoto where they now live and thrive. They also care for the abandoned women of Uganda offering a chance at restored dignity through education, medical needs and help starting a business to provide for themselves and their children.

We have been raising money for Watoto since 2009 and have the joy of helping Watoto run Music/Arts camps which include all training in all music band areas as well as painting, preaching, dance, photography, videography, sound and even business and coffee.
All proceeds from this song go to helping those camps become a reality. Here is a video to see more from the 6th camp in May 2022.
We will be in Uganda to release this song with our friends!!! Fun content to follow!
