Dubai hosted the first ever Christian gospel concert in a public auditorium as messianic singer Paul Wilbur and his team led the people of the city in soul stirring worship. This wasn't our project, but we were delighted to be involved in it, albeit in a small way, especially as it made history for yet another reason: the concert brought together Christians of all denominations under one roof in the city for the very first time. HSI represented the Catholics.
We pray that the Voice team of Sabu George, Gladson Ronad and Pastor Allan Paul, who helped make it all happen, be immensely blessed. Christian unity won't become a reality just by talking about it. It will take the combined efforts of people of vision, courage and character from all sides of the divide to come together and act. Click here for an article that I wrote about Christian Unity.

Hi Aneel,
I chanced upon your blog as I was researching about Paul Wilbur's concert in Dubai. This is truly remarkable. I'm blessed to see the Catholic church getting involves in this project.
In the 90's, Graham Kendrick was actually the first worship leader to hold a public concert in Dubai. And it was also a collaboration of around 15 church denominations. It was an open air concert at the Holy Trinity grounds. There was an overflow crowd that some had to watch from the parking area outside the compound.
To God be the glory.
Andre
