Awesome Concert & Fundraiser

We just got home from a fundraiser/concert for our former drummer Wes McCall and family. Wes recently lost his wife to cancer...but she received the "ultimate" healing and is certainly in a much better place. However, The McCall family was hit with huge hospital bills and Covenant Baptist Church sponsored a fundraising concert featuring New Journey Qt., 5:17, Casting the Net and the Covenant Youth Praise Team. What an awesome night for God it was....the holy spirit permeated the building with young & old alike, praising the Lord in his or her own way! The musicians from all groups played great and the singers sang wonderfully, but the most important thing was that God received the glory!

The concert raised significant funds for the family and we even got Wes to sing a few songs with his ole bandmates...it really brought back memories! What a talented man Wes really is...how God has blessed him! It was good to see that he didn't let what most would call a terrible family tragedy slow him down in his service for God...many lesser men couldn't or wouldn't have done it. His two daughters are absolutely precious children whom we adore. Please keep this family in your prayers as well as New Journey as we go along the journey God has laid before us! Talk to you again real soon!

In His Service,

Bill Warren - New Journey Quartet
