Crabb Family Concert

What a great night of music and ministry it was with the Crabb Family at the Central Assembly of God in Cumberland Saturday night. The Crabb family has such a heart for reaching people and it is evident in the way they bring the message both through song and word.

I think that my favorite part of the evening was when Jason Crabb
invited Pam Seaman on stage to sing. I have heard Pam sing many times.
Indeed we play her music on the He's Alive Radio Network during Worship
180 and Evening Reflections. She has a great voice.

It is always nice to see a major act invite a local talent to share the stage with them. The Crabb
Family took this a step further and asked her to sing one of their most
popular songs, "Through The Fire". They even did it a second time, at
Jason's prompting, in a key that Pam is comfortable singing in. It was
very good.

I enjoyed meeting everyone at the He's Alive Radio table. It was exciting to be able to introduce people to our radio station that had never listened before.

After the concert was over and everyone left I had a chance to talk with Jason Crabb
for several minutes. They were heading out that night to the Brooklyn
Tabernacle where they were scheduled the next day. Jason, who appears
so confident on stage, who nevershys away from a conversation, said
that of all the places that they sing, the Brooklyn Tabernacle makes
him the most apprehensive. He said they playin front of much larger crowds, but he has such a high regard for Pastor Cymbala and the church that he gets "butterflies" before they sing there.

Jason
also talked about the upcoming project that they are working on. He
promised it would be "different" from what they have been doing but
that it wouldn't disappoint their current fans. I can't wait to hear it.

It was a great night of music and ministry. If you get a chance to attend a Crabb Family concert - go. You won't be disappointed.
