An outreach that began weeks before the actual event, the LoveSong concert was a product of the desire the Lord had molded in Pastor Jeff's heart for evangelism and church planting. Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations..."
On weekends/evenings we drove into the local mountain towns of Aspen, Carbondale and Glenwood Springs where the church is being planted and walked the streets, posting and passing out fliers, and talking with people. The Lord arranged divine appointments to talk to people about Him, and invite them to the concert and church.
The way the Lord used these times to mold us was an absolute blessing. Going out intentionally to talk to people about the Lord molds your focus to eternity, and gives you a desire to have that be a part of your normal everyday life. You learn the joy of living aware of, and sensitive to, the opportunities the Lord gives you to witness while doing normal everyday things.
The night of the concert was a huge blessing. Hearing this group of men, who had been faithfully serving the Lord and writing songs about their Savior since the 70’s was a true blessing.
The Lord brought who He knew needed to hear LoveSong's message, and eternal seeds were planted as a result. Pastor Jeff Christianson shared the gospel for the lost and a message of returning to the Lord for the prodigal - fruit remains! Luke 15:24 "...for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry..."
