"Who deserves a blessing?". Right now this is the title of one of the songs I am working with for "The Mission Field". I know some people wake up every morning with a smile on their face and say "thank you for one more day", and I know some people wake up and say "I have nobody to thank for anything today". I don't know why it's like this, and to be honest I don't know if I can finish this song, "who deserves a blessing", because I am in the middle of a conversation with a 17-year old boy who is stuck in a situation where suicide seems to be the only way out. He does not know Jesus yet, and it seems like he wants to keep it that way. So how can I write a song about all the blessings in my life when I know what he is going through right now? I don't know, but I hope and pray that you will hear good news from me soon about this boy.

About Praise Unit
- Praise Unit
- Founded 2004 by Joakim Arenius who just left his position as director of Europe's oldest gospel choir, Joybells. The singers and musicians are united by the vision to spread the word about a loving and living God through music that is rooted in the old african american gospel music, but performed and inspired by the modern r'n'b you hear on radio, the funky grooves you nod your head to when you turn up your car stereo, the beautiful melodies you enjoy on a comforting CD and the wild beats you dance to in the urban clubs. The first CD "Whole" was released in 2006. In 2008 came the Live DVD "the Whole tour" which was filmed by German television during Praise Units touring in 2008. In June 2009 Praise Unit will release "the Mission Field". MUSICAL DIRECTOR: Joakim Arenius BAND: Tobias Grenholm (bass) Kristian Kraftling (keys) Filip Stenlund (guitar) Kristoffer Sjöberg (percussion) Simon Jonsson (drums) VOCALS: Jacob Alm Sara Björlemyr Felicia Brandström Maria Höglund Josefine Bäckrud Emilia Havsed Lina Häger Johannes Häger Julia Nilsson Jakob Wiborg
