Friday Feature - Nicole C. Mullen

Siloam Family Health Center recently celebrated our 20th Anniversary! Our luncheon and fundraiser was held at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel and included a scrumptious  meal, words of encouragement from Mayor Karl Dean and concluded with special music by Nicole C. Mullen!

Nicole blessed our 400+ guests with two of her songs, including the well-known, much-requested, "Redeemer"... singing some of the verses in Spanish, Swahili and sign-language. Perfect for Siloam! It was an incredible time of worshiping the Lord for all He has done in and through Siloam.

Nicole C. Mullen's ministry goes far beyond her music. Whether working to help free the Trokosi slaves in Ghana, mentoring young people through her Baby Girls' Club and Team NCM, or penning signature songs for other artists -- such as the Jaci Velasquez hit “On My Knees” -- Mullen has long channeled her considerable energy into not just sharing the gospel, but living it. Her passion for God has never burned brighter than on “Captivated,” a new collection of worship songs produced by Ed Cash.

“Captivated” is filled with songs that celebrate God’s majesty such as the powerful “Kingdom Come,” a duet with longtime friend Michael O’Brien. “Every other day there is a tornado or an earthquake or a tsunami or an oil spill or whatever,” says Nicole. “Even nature is crying out for the return of Christ, for His kingdom, but His kingdom actually is already here. The kingdom of God is among us. God is already the king. We’re not going to make Him king at the end of time. In the song, it is asking ‘let your kingdom be revealed among us. Let your kingdom be seen by all. Let your kingdom be acknowledged by all. May your justice rein and rule.’ I’ve seen the audience stand up and sing it. It is the heart’s cry of many people, not just myself.

Nicole is excited about this new season in her life and sharing the worship songs on “Captivated.”  “My mom told me a long time ago ‘when you sing, never sing to the people, always sing to the audience of one and invite the people to worship along with you,’” she says, “and so that’s my new aim these day --  to sing to the ‘Audience of One’ and hopefully it becomes so contagious and the melody becomes so soothing and so inviting that people will want to sing along.”

Many of our attendees asked where to purchase Nicole's CD's... you can find "Captivated" and her other CD's on iTunes or on her web site at http://www.nicolecmullen.com/music.htm
