TOWN & COUNTRY TIME

On Saturday, May 1st, Brotherhood was pleased to be part of a unique men's praise breakfast. Besides good fellowship and food prepared by the men's cooking crew, this brought together two opposite music styles to glorify the Father! We partnered with fellow church friend, Glenn Moore who's a rap artist reaching into the urban community. Glenn heard Brotherhood at an Encounter and desired to minister with us.

Brotherhood opened with a praise & worship set which included a medley of "old school" favorites and current contemporary praise songs ("How Great Is Our God" and "Jesus Messiah"). After breakfast, we shared our fast-paced gospel mini-concert that had the men clapping, finger snapping and on their feet praising God. After a brief break, Glenn Moore broke into his rap and hip-hop set. It's not my favorite muisc genre but, wow, was it good! The message came forth so strong and had the men jumping, shouting and strutting while having their ears opened to hear His Word.

Glenn also shared a message on men making the difference in the workplace. One central truth pointed towards the individual man ensuring his "work place" (heart) was right first. We cannot venture out if we're not right within - good, good, stuff! Afterwards, a few men came forward to receive Christ into their lives!!

We serve an awesome God - only He could make the sounds of Brotherhood & Glenn work out! Our minds could not conceive that thought. Continue to pray for both ministry outreaches. We plan on some more of these "joint ventures" and other out-of-the-box possibilities (video and song collaboration). You never, ever, know...
