Giving glory to Jesus Christ was the central purpose of most of the fall con- certs. The emphasis was focused toward ministering to the students rather than entertaining. The series began with a dynamic ap- pearance by vocalist Benny Hester. Next Stephanie Boosahda delighted the audience with her music and songwrit- ing abilities. She also ministered to the audience by the ord of knowledge. In the fall Randy Stonehill and Servant and Fireworks also made their appear- ance on campus. Servant and Fireworks brought a little bit of rowdiness to the campus. The goal of ministering to the audi- ence was especially achieved through the Leon Patillo and Russ Taff concert. Commenting on the Patillo concert Ron Johnson said, The Holy Spirit really moved during the whole night as we wor- shipped the Lord. The love of Jesus real- ly radiated through that man. He gave an altar call and the front and both sides of Milo Redigcr Chapel were filled with students accepting Christ into their lives. Taff performed many of his popu- lar songs, and also led the audience in worship ending in an altar call. Concerts Glorify God . BO E: Singing one of the songs she wrote.
