I Love America!

THIS FRIDAY, JULY 3rd from 5pm to 12am there's an opportunity to tap into a unique and exciting event...  James River Assembly in Springfield (and Pastor John Lindell) is holding their annual I Love America 4th of July celebration, where they are expecting more than 120,000 people to attend.  In conjunction with this event, Angel Mission is hosting a benefit concert to raise money for well digging and church planting projects in Africa; GodTVis televising 7 hours of the event.  All 7 hours will be broadcast live over God TV (Channel 365 on Direct TV) and will also be viewable via webcast through our Worship Compass website, www.PennDelWorshipCompass.org. 

6 different bands will be performing:  Israel Houghton, Leeland, The Afters and Press Play (new band out of The Dream Center) to name a few.  The fireworks presentation will be accompanied by and synchronized to the James River choir and orchestra.   The live telecast and concerts will be running from 5 pm to midnight tomorrow evening, July 3rd.    

Our good friend John Bongiorno is now the President of Angel Mission.  He and Rory Alec (President of GodTV) will be hosting the telecast and sharing testimonies and video clips from specific water well projects in Africa and communities that have been transformed by the ministry of Angel Mission.  Pastor Tourville, our superintendent, is in Springfield and they will be interviewing him and featuring our PennDel Burkina Faso project.  John has invited me to be a part of the event, so I am also in Springfield and will be helping behind the scenes, hosting guests and doing interviews with the musical guest artists. 

In the days ahead Shannon and I will be partnering with John and Angel Mission to help with some of their well projects and to provide music and worship training for the churches that are planted around the water wells.  We will be continuing our fulltime music, worship and teaching ministry in the U.S. and the PennDel District, but will also be ramping up the missions aspect of our ministry as missionary evangelists (and representing Angel Mission to the local church).  Angel Mission has expanded beyond just digging the water wells and has a strategy in place to build "Life Centers" in villages all over Africa that will help provide clean water, Living Water (through the church plants) AND many other life-changing tools - medical clinics, schools, agricultural training, etc.  We're excited to be partnering with such a powerful ministry that is making a tangible difference in the lives of people around the world - both now and for eternity!
