But she has met life head on. For example, it took her twenty one years to receive her high school diploma—but she finished the task.

Sarah is known for her prayerful encouragement to everyone she meets. Her testimony is this: “I live my life for the Lord. I try to treat others like I would want to be treated and I try to live like Jesus would want me to but, I know I fail. I just want others to see Jesus in me.” Sarah has also suffered from breast cancer and just recently found out she may be fighting for her life again with another round of cancer. But through it all, she continues to share encouragement to others, and tells of God’s goodness in her life.

Sarah is a big fan of gospel music. A friend of hers, Art Nelson, has made sure for the past three years that she gets to attend the big concert that comes to town.  Some of her favorites are The Talleys, The Perrys, Dove Brothers, Brian Free & Assurance and the Hoppers. She saves her money all year long so she can buy a few CDs at the concert. Sarah’s only income is social security and the home takes all but $39 per month for her housing. From that $39 dollars, she always gives her tithes and supports the youth at the church, when she can.

Sarah Green is, without a doubt, one of God’s “real” heroes. Crossroads will be blessing Sarah with a financial gift as well as a lot of her favorite music. If you would like to send Sarah a card of encouragement or anything else that might be on your heart, please send it to the following address:

Sarah Green
C/O Columbia Heights Baptist Church
P.O. Box 1627
Columbia, LA 71418

Crossroads Entertainment & Marketing launched the Crossroads challenge to help those who live in challenging or debilitating circumstances, yet still find joy in Christ and share it with others. If you know someone who reminds you of Sarah, send a short paragraph with this person’s story to challenge@crossroadsmusic.com. Each month, one person will be contacted and asked to tell their story. Crossroads will include their story in a press release, posted at crossroadsmusic.com. Since needs vary, Crossroads will ask the selected person to share what would benefit their lives the most, so that the company can provide help accordingly.

Crossroads looks forward to blessing others . . . for being a blessing.

This great song has now been picked up by Camp Kirkland in the new choral arrangement titled “He Still Speaks” released through Prism Music. This work not only contains “I Can Pray”, but many great southern gospel songs like “His Life For Mine, Mountain Mover and Built On The Rock” for your church choir to enjoy singing. Thanks to Camp Kirkland for putting “I Can Pray” into a whole new realm of christian music.
