Concert Shares the Gospel Through Upbeat Music
LHM—South Korea hosted an event to benefit their community. The event was a concert where a local band performed a variety of familiar songs. Before each song, an LHM staff member would explain the background and stories behind the song, so the audience would better understand the message. The audience enjoyed the calm, classical pieces and clapped along to the upbeat songs. One of the attendees was Maeng, a 68-year-old woman who went with five of her high school friends. Maeng said, “I serve at a small church in my neighborhood, and I learned about the concert through a friend, so I came with my friends as an outing.” She added, “The concert is composed of easy and enjoyable pieces, so even if you’re not very knowledgeable about music, you can appreciate it while directly communicating with the performers. I think it’s a good thing that the church can do for the local community since it’s a cultural event held at a small church and there is no pressure.” Her friend, Choi, added, “I am impressed that churches are providing opportunities for the general public to enjoy cultural activities like this.”
