Andrae Crouch visits ICCJ

Pst Joy and her team were instrumental in bringing Andre Crouch and his team for the Jakarta Jazz Festival this year. We spent a wonderful evening with Andre and his Manager, Ramon Hervey at a private dinner on Saturday night. Time got away from us, something I don’t normally allow for before ministering on Sundays, but we were engaged in fascinating discussion with two men with a “touch” for consisitantly making musical hits. Andre of course in the Christian music realm and Ramon both in the Christian and secular arenas. Ramon has managed and continues to manage the careers of many influential music artists. They agreed to come to the 10:30am service on Sunday... just to attend.

It was an awesome service! Pst Joy and Soul2Praiz took us into an amazing worship experience and we had a special dedication for Munesh & Mona’s baby, Nikhil Vasandani. Then I asked Andrae to greet the people. He must have felt the pull of the Holy Spirit, because he shared a powerful testimony and then had one of his team members, Sue Merriett, go into a worship set while Andre got onto the Keyboard. The power and presence of God swept over the place and I cannot possibly describe what was happening in the lives of countless people! We will undoubtedly be receiving testimonies of miracles in the next few days. It was awesome! The service ended much later then normal, but the people of God were incredibly blessed... even the ones who had to duck out and leave before it was over. Obviously, I did not preach this time... I am so refreshed!!

Pst Joy and I are in the car on our way to JakJazz as I write now, where we will watch Andrae and Abraham Laboriel perform on the main stage... But even if we weren’t, we would already be satisfied with the awesome work God has done at ICCJ through His servant Andrae Crouch. Thank you God!!!
