CCLI : Encouraging the spirit of worship
Country Selected
South Africa  South Africa

"There is a current explosion of the amount of quality praise and worship songs in the church today. It seems to me that CCLI can be of great assistance to the body of Christ in handling the necessary "red tape" administration of Christian songs, so that everybody involved will benefit for the sake of the Kingdom and the Glory of God."
~ Jan de Wet, Songwriter, Artist
