This Weekend

This weekend we have the opportunity to share the hope of Jesus with hundreds of people, coming from all around the low country. After months of preparation, we need to continue our prayers to the very end, seeking God for who we can invite to hear the gospel message. This message of hope we have been preparing and the resulting joy found in Christ, can be a life changer for someone we know today. As we get close to singing, I hope you have already had that person on your heart and have already invited them as your guest to the presentation. Knowing that you have the best relationship with them, no one else will give them more reason to come. We have been praying for months for people who need to experience hope in their life. I trust that the person you have wanted to come, will be here and will see how freeing a life with Christ can be. Sing with enthusiasm, sing with passion, sing with purpose, knowing God has brought us here at this time and place, to present His message to those that will be in the room. Be Christ’s ambassadors of hope, as we sing this weekend. It has the potential to change their life and ours for eternity. Looking forward to the blessing of this weekend with you, Eddie
