Night Of Compassion

    In late October 2007 I boarded a plane in Washington, DC and headed off on my journey to Mexico City, Mexico. Joining me on that trip was Zane King ( President of Journey Records Nashville), Clarke Beasley (Chairman of The Board for The National Quartet Convention), Tim Lovelace (Comedian, Grammy Award nominee, Dove Award Winner and 2-Time Hall Of Fame Inductee from The Gaither Homecoming Video Series), Chris and Amy Unthank (SoGo.com owners), Vicky Beeching (accomplished CCM Worship Leader), Jenni Enno (Compassion Photographer), Keely Scott, and Spence Smith (tour director).
    How I found myself in such esteemed company I'll never know. Those who know me will tell you, I was certainly humbled by the invitation to join this cast of do-gooders.
   Once in Mexico something happened. Everybody in our group left behind our titles, accomplishments, and status as we witnessed first hand the power of God through Compassion Intl.
    We visited children and their families and listened to their testimonies of how Compassion brought Life to their home.
These people lived in a 10 x 10 concrete block home with leaky roofs, no running water, dirt floors, and very little food. Each family had multiple members sharing the 2 room house.
    Although each family was different, the testimony was the same; Compassion saved our lives.
    I had the privilege of leading prayer in several homes. Before we'd pray we'd always ask, "What do you need from God today?" and the answer always moved me to tears..."God has been so good to us that we don't know what to ask for." Wow!!!
    For a few days we witnessed first hand how Compassion partners with the local church to give these kids an education, medical attention, food, clothing, a trade helping to break the back of poverty, and most of all Faith in Jesus Christ! Last year alone, Compassion won over 100,000 children to Christ, not to mentioned the domino effect it has on each child's family!
    Needless to say, I left Mexico City a changed person. And today I'm still motivated about what I've seen and felt.

I am honored to be a part of the Compassion International family of artists.

In today's economy, it's tough to find quality Christian Music Ministries that are willing to come for a "Love Offering".

The partnership between Compassion Intl. and Tony Alan Bates bridges the gap with the church and allows every congregation to experience the power of both ministries collectively!

Compassion helps to offset the expense of ministry, so each concert can be arranged on a love offering basis!

The Night Of Compassion Concert Series is designed to raise awareness and support for the important work of this life saving organization.

The Night Of Compassion Concert Series provides every church with the opportunity to host a quality musical concert with no minimum financial commitments.
