“What struck it for me was that my heart is in Africa because our first mission trips were in Africa. We’ve been there. We know what the conditions are like. So, when I found out that there was a chance to use our music to help people in Africa, I had to be a part of it. That’s what we’re called to do; we’re called to help people. That’s not just a church answer, that’s how we’re supposed to actually live.”

“In reality, there are lots of people that need help. For me, well... my heart is in Africa. You’ve just got to pick organizations that have means to help and just do it. You can talk about it all day long, but doing it is a different thing. We wanted to actually do something. JESUSpolitik gave us the chance to use our talents to do that!"

The concert was a success, lives were helped because of it. But it first began with the dedication of two to follow the leading of God.

Take their example and don't be afraid of how big your faith is. Sometimes, what God is calling you to do will seem scary, huge and overwhelming. Other times it will seem too small, too simple and too easy. Never let that throw you. What matters is not so much the task, as we'd like to think, but our faithfulness and obedience to what God's asked of us. He knows the people that will be helped and come to know Him as a result of our obedience and His goodness. Souls hang in the balance.

It's time to act on what God's been telling you.
