Many of the members of the New Start group were either born, or spent most of their lives in the refugee camps of Thailand. There they had very minimal schools with no textbooks or paper. When they learned something they had to memorize it. They sang many songs there in the camps, one of which they call "The Missionary Song". This song describes how people came to them as missionaries to tell them about God, and now it is their turn to tell other people. It encourages the listener to stop putting off their responsibility as a Christian to share God with other people. They not only want to tell people about God but encourage Karenni believers to do the same.
Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
1 Chronicles 16: 23-24
