three decades ago...

...a band was formed. made up of a group of men who loved music and simply wanted to serve God through it, they are still going strong today. "the channels" started off as just a band, performing at local churches and leading worship at teens conference. they recorded cds and did a couple of stints on chinese christian television. as their reputation grew, they began to travel extensively to other cities to perform, became involved in promise keepers for chinese canadians and began to do overseas missions. since its humble beginnings, band members have come and gone, and one was even lost to cancer. but these men have seen God's grace and faithfulness, and they are still fully committed to the ministry He has called them to.

this weekend is the channels' 30th anniversary celebration. they will be leading worship, performing and sharing about their ministry experiences on friday and saturday night at toronto chinese community church. it's jointly a fundraiser for showers of blessing evangelistic ministry, so tickets are $15 that can be purchased ahead of time or at the door. if you're in toronto this weekend, think about coming out and supporting these ministries. you'll come away touched and encouraged by the amazing things God has been doing through them.
