It encourages me to continue when I see how my music ministry has impacted lives internationally! The entire crowd knew every word. They also pay close attention to songs that we may overlook in America! It just proves that your labor is not in vain!!’You can visit http://www.x2dtv.com/html/gallery/gallery_thestatement.html for more pictures
