A Different Evening.










I am sorry it has been a few days from our last communication but we have been very busy here and I have my nephews and a friend with us and I find myself spending my spare time with them. I love having family here and they are a joy to have. I thought I would let you see a little something different. Last Friday night we went to a Hip Hop Show that another church put on to bring out the community and let the community get to know them. This is a wonderful church that is reaching out to the community right where they are. They put on a Hip Hop show that gave praise to the Lord. Anyone could express there talent by singing or dancing or free styling rap but all the lyrics had to be centered around the Lord. It was so awesome. Our friend Robin who is visiting with us started off the show by doing some break dancing. He was awesome! You can see him in the last picture . No one wanted to get up but Robin started the show and then everyone else was a little less shy and started to show their talent. Give a big Yea to Robin! There were small children, teenagers and adults showing their stuff. I think it is awesome the way a church will not be constricted by what they are thought of and step outside the box to reach the community. God told us to go forth and preach the word to all the world and sometimes that means stepping out of our comfort zone and going beyond the four walls of the church and meeting the people where they are. In their culture, in their neighborhood and sometimes right in our back yard. The music was very loud and it reminded me of my youthful days when I use to go to concerts only this one had all the right lyrics that feeds your soul. To see the teens express their love for the Lord in such a way that made their faces shine with excitement made me want to cry. I cannot express the love they showed for what they did and whom they did it for.
The picture with the guy and girl singing are two of our team members Mark and Susanne. They sang a worship song together which got the crowd rocking. At the end of the show was what they call "Free Styling" where anyone can get up and rap lyrics to a beat but it is not rehearsed and it is off the top of your head. Well there was t
his little boy of five years of age that got up there and just rapped for the Lord. He truly blessed our heart.
Well I wanted to share a little something different with you and hope you can understand and appreciate it because we sure did. Until next time..Lots of Love coming your way...Allen and Dovie
