Thank
you graciously for attending the concert "Have Ya'll Heard The News"? 2010
Gospel Explosion June 26th in Pamplico, SC. I was so elated to see you walk
through the door. Its so pleasing to have people that are true to their
word and dependable; and I know if your words of true made me smile, can
you imagine the smile that Our Father in Heaven must have had to see His
people sharing and caring, supporting and showing love; and on one accord.
Its hard to find humans these days that will stand for right-so many rather
stand for whatever the majority stands for (whether its right or wrong, as
long as its with the majority). Seeming not to care or realize that one day
they MUST stand alone.
For others that were not at the concert, you truly MISSED OUT. Blessings
flowed from the beginning of the hour all the way to the end with songs of
ministry from:
1-Pamplico Pentecostal Holiness Church (all Caucasian) Praise Team (yes,
all Caucasian)-with their Pastor, Dan Thompkins leading this awesome team;
and man were they awesome with the anointing songs of praises. This team
sure enough know how to praise and worship God! You Missed A Treat for Sure
if you weren't there.
2-the 50 members of The Pee Dee Baptist (all males) Church Choir -
unbelievable and amazing to see such a group of singing males pull together
from one church (the Pastor Leroy Edwards included). Awesome God!!-
3-Solomon Singletary with a style only for Solomon left the audience
wondering "where is he going"?
4-Frankie Davis...You Missed A Concert with one of the Best of the soothing
sounds of gospel every heard.Only Frankie can tell you about the "Change
that is Still Going To Come".
5-Inspiring Hank- All I can say is if one is not inspired after seeing and
listening to Inspiring Hank, something is truly wrong and you desperately
need to hear God say "We Can".
6-Greg Kelly- Man oh Man!! After all of those years of "missing in action"
Greg came on like nothing were every taken away. I now know why he is so
energetic when singing "God Can", "Show Me The Way". Along with Greg Kelly
were a special guest "Mike Simpson" from Rev Howard Slim Hunt's Original
Supreme Angels; and with all the advertising that had been heard about
"Have Ya'll Heard The News"? - We all found out what the news were all
about at this one stop Pamplico Pentecostal Holiness Church news center
from the assuring sounds of Greg and the grooving Mike with the news that
"Jesus Is Coming Soon" (this was; and is the news).
7-"The Doctor" - We all know that Doc can fix aannythinng. Doc sound a
siren "Jesus" and those Lites took of with a rushing wind of spirit in
magnifying "Jesus". Some asked, why is the doctor singing so hard? Do you
think something happen to him out in the lobby? (They were the ones that
don't know the power of the doctor). But, in Pamplico area where the Doctor
had never performed, the talk is "I've never heard him, but I do love that
man's singing". "He now has my support".
"Have Ya'll Heard The News" were the first Gospel Concert every held in
Pamplico, SC, 1st concert at an all Caucasian church, first concert with
Caucasian performers at a black concert in Pamplico; and anyone that
attended this concert sure enough have some news to spread, and oh how they
are talking and spreading the news. For sure, after Pastor Dan Thompkins
and his Pamplico Pentecostal Holiness Church Praise Team, The Pastor Leroy
Edwards and his Pee Dee Baptist Church 50 members Male Choir, Solomon
Singletary, Inspiring Hank, Frankie Davis, Greg Kelly and Doc McKenzie, I
am sure that no matter what bags were brought to this concert, no one left
with a feeling of destitute; and if anyone did, "we" need to "Take It To
Jesus".
