On July 20, Heavenly Melody and Dr. Doris
Brougham held a special childrenˇ¦s meeting
at the Cathay Childrenˇ¦s Leadership Camp
at the Bread of Life Church in Taipei. 1,200
children and teenagers from ages ten to
eighteen attended the camp.
Heavenly Melody sang and performed skits.
Dr. Brougham encouraged the children commit
their lives to God. She told the children
about her decision to commit her life to
Christ when she was 12 at a special meeting
similar to the camp the children were attending.
Forgoing the opportunity for further education
at a prestigious music school, she left
her beloved family and headed for Asia at
the age of 21 to devote her life to the
Chinese. In Taiwan, which she calls her
second home, Dr. Brougham founded Overseas
Radio and Television Inc. and began Heavenly
Melody and Studio Classroom. Though
there were difficulties, she trusted God,
whom she said never failed her.
At the end of the service, Dr. Brougham
gave an altar call for children to commit
their lives to God for the mission field.
Many children stepped forward with tears
in their eyes. Their simple devotion and
heartfelt commitment touched every one of
the Heavenly Melody members.
