» Charleston to Roanoke

On March 15-16, I traveled with the Virginia Mass Choir to First Baptist Church in Charleston WV, then to Pilgrim Baptist Church in Roanoke VA. The choir’s weekend tour went VERY well… everything from a smooth and uneventful bus ride through the mountains, to a series of uplifting performances. Thanks to Randy and our driver Reggie at Distinguished Executive Transportation for a great job transporting the choir. Thanks to both churches for your hospitality, and the meals that were prepared for the choir.

Benson you are the bomb and it is a real pleasure having you as our official photogragher. You take some great photos and on occassion you have captured me at some of our engagements and what can I say they are out of sight. May God continue to richly bless you and your ministry through pictures. Looking forward to travelling again with you in the near future. Thanks for all the support!!!

VA Mass, thank you for sharing your ministry with First Baptist Church. Eleven souls were saved (that I know of) on the night of the event! Choir, you are blessed to have such great leaders. Appreciate them! Benson, the pictures are awesome! Blessings to you all! See you in October.
