Continuous Praise in the Wake of St. Louis

By   •   August 6, 2009

Two sisters, ages 18 and 25, made decisions for Christ following the testimonies of Lecrae and Head, formerly of the band Korn.

“It was amazing! We ended a beautiful night with tears, praise and worship with Flyleaf,” exclaimed their mother, Lori. “Thanks to Mary, the counselor who came to share with my daughter Sara. My daughter just moved to St. Louis and Mary even invited her to go to church.”

65,000 people enjoyed the music of Canton Jones, Red, Lecrae, Hawk Nelson, Kirk Franklin, Skillet and Flyleaf. Franklin Graham shared the Gospel message through the afternoon and evening.

“I just want to say that this whole event was so amazing, to see so many come to Christ,” said Mike, a youth minister. “I had one in my youth group to rededicate her life to Christ. That made the trip so worth it. And the talent did a great job. Franklin, thank you so much for your message. I’m sure it will touch so many after this event.”

Kimberly wrote on the tour’s Facebook page: “RTR was Awesome!! Big thank you to Franklin Graham for his dedication to preach the Word to every generation!!”

According to Tracy Hopper Hargrove, “RTR STL was AWESOME!!! I loved hearing FG and the bands really rocked out! Good messages all around and very good for the youth. It’s great to see events like this…and to see God right at the heart of it all!”

Sandra Raetzloff Bowles wrote, “Thank you, it was an amazing time, and very worshipful!!! Thank you to all the bands for sharing a gospel message, I’m praying that thousands were saved today thanks to God and all of you!”

“Awesome!” said David R. Smith. “I had so much fun! Thanx for letting local churches help with the counseling! That was the best part for me!”
