"The River of Life flows

from the throne of God"

 
The New Creation Live! 2007 Concert/ Singles Ministry Retreat hosted by the Greater Philadelphia Church of Christ in the Poconos was absolutely Inspiring!  There were Disciples from all over the United States who came together to glorify God not only with their talents but also their hearts. The in-kind contribution of  all those who participated in this project was well over ten thousand dollars. It was evident that God was at the fore front of this project as so many of the Singles expressed that they were truly blessed to be apart of this experience. God allowed all the details to come together as Tony Martin, Geoff Fawcett and Frank Bright along with GPCOC Singles Ministry worked together to make this retreat very impactful.
 
The music was representative of the Cross both vertically to God  and horizontally among the people as we sang songs of praise. The disti nctive personalities and music styles blended so well as God unified us all through the love of music.  The styles of music was quite diverse as we enjoyed the sounds of contemporary with Dave Eastman and Paul Eaton, the gospel/jazzy blues sounds of Tony Martin and Peter Wade and who will ever forget the traditional sounds of Geoff Fawcett.  His song "Let Your Light Shine Down" will always be remembered as we reminis of the great times we had at this retreat.  This song was sung every possible way imaginable as we gathered together for a great night of fellowship and laughter.  The bonds of friendship that transpired throughout the weekend will last a life time.  
 

The new sounds moved the hearts of all ages and cultures and it allowed people to be out of themselves as they engaged in true worship, lifting their hands, hearts and voices, they sang a joyful noise to God.  The song leaders and musicians were so inspiring as they encouraged the congregation to participate and they were full of energy as they led us to higher ground of praising God through songs.

During the Saturday Concert several folks who were staying at the hotel overheard the music and ventured in to see what it was all about.  They were so moved by the music that they purchased not only the New Creations Live! 2007 song book, but also purchased several DPI books to take back to their own church family. That's what this concert was about, to impact the hearts of all those who hear and move their hearts closer to God.  More Photos from New Creation Live! 2007

I look forward to the recording of the new songs to be released soon by River City Music and the impact it will have around the world.  I pray that this level of energy will continue as brothers and sisters take their worship to God through music to higher grounds. I am eternally grateful to have been apart of this great worship experience and look forward to serving as Associate Producer and event coordinator at the International Song Leaders Conference in May, "Praise Heard Around the World".   We are in the process of setting up a monthly FAQ/News Letter to be posted on line called "ASK TINA" that will give everyone an opportunity to ask questions relating to the International Song Leaders Conference (ISLC).
