Performing is not what we traveled to Australia to do; our ministry is all about equipping and helping facilitate 100% participation in singing. Yet, when given an invitation to sing for this festival, it was hard to turn down the opportunity. Even though we had not really prepared to "present" a concert of songs, our traveling party accepted the offer.

They told us that last year, this festival was attended by 25,000 people in the community. It's great to see many different organizations and churches come together for a positive event.
There were all types of activities available and all the rides, concerts, games, and food were all free!
We sang songs from the Praise & Harmony CDs, although, they were not really designed as "presentation" songs. Many of the Christians who were present sang along at this outdoor festival. We told the festival goers about our ministry to teach harmony, encourage vibrant worship and turn the entire church into a chorus!
