Israel Houghton is a Classy Guy!

The bad news is that things did not work out for Israel and New Breed to perform their concert on July 1. The good news is that they did re-schedule with us. The new concert date is tentatively November 25 and possibly earlier. The further good news is that the seminar conducted by Jakarta City Shakers Community was well attended and blessed many and the concert was a success. Even though Israel and New Breed did not perform and everyone who bought tickets was informed ahead of time, still well over 1,000 people came to worship that evening as Joy McKinney and Soul2Praiz did the full concert instead of the opening concert. And it was awesome! The new songs which were played live for the first time were very well received and even more importantly, God showed up in an amazing way!!! He knows the end from the beginning and His timing is always perfect!!

The reason why I entitled this posting that Israel Houghton is a Classy Guy is because he made a video clip just for us which we played at the seminar and concert. He explained that he couldn't come, encouraged us to make the best of the night and told us about how excited he is to come at the re-scheduled time. He certainly didn't have to do that but he did! Thank you Israel Houghton!
