Young Friends

Sep 17 2008

In 2004, here at Fellowship Church, at the request of a friend of mine who was doing mission work in the area, I invited two young musicians to our church for a Friday night concert the weekend before Easter. I had never heard of these musicians, but I knew they were talented and wanted to share that talent with people in this areas, so they came. That night I also had a very special women in my life, Pauline Kelley, share her testimony with those who joined us. Pauline had been diagnosed with cancer a few years before, and shared the pain of those moments, along with the comfort of having Jesus Christ with her the entire time.

That testimony, combined with the music of Jake and Brooke, powerfully gripped the few people in the audience, and burned the memory of that concert into my head even to this day.

Since that day, Jake has been nominated for awards for his music and has really done some great things in his musicianship. So has Brooke, who I just found on the itunes free download of the week. Check out her new song, “Young Friend” for free on itunes.

So several years later, a thank you goes to Jake Smith and Brooke Waggoner and I’ll throw in this Jake too for taking time out of their lives to play here at “The FC”, and I’m glad all their hard work paid off!

Who else should we have here at Fellowship?
