Thanks to all who prayed and to all who invited and brought non-HIF guests. We pray that the Concert en- couraged many of those guests to think more about Christ’s coming and God’s love for us. We are grateful for many generous sponsors who, along with those who attended the Concert, helped us raise over $13,000 for the Phu Chau orphan- age sponsored by YWAM.
