Praise Adonai a Superhit!

Praise Adonai indeed!

The first gospel concert in the Middle East from HSI Outreach Ministries - Praise Adonai - played out to a full house on Thursday evening in Jebel Ali. Despite horrendous traffic on the final overbridge leading up to the church that had many guests stuck for over an hour, the hall was packed and everybody who attended was delighted with the show, which had over 50 participants on stage from the Philipines, India, Sri Lanka, South America and Africa. As with concerts held previous in other countries, the testimonies continue to flow of how much folks enjoyed the concert and how it made a difference to their lives.

Here is a representational selection of pictures from the show. Click here to see more pictures of the Praise Adonai concert.

Praise Adonai Underway


All preparations are moving smoothly for the Praise Adonai gospel concert to be held in Jebel Ali on September 14. A poster is on display in some of the neighboring parishes, and I was happy to know that announcements will also be made. It is nice to see cooperation, rather than competition, in the Church! One priest did refuse though. He said he didn't see any reason why he needed to build up another parish.
