Mitch McVicker in Minnesota Concert Tomorrow
COLLEGE GROVE, MN (March 11, 2005) - Dove Award winner Mitch McVicker will
perform at benefit concert at CrossRoads Covenant Church at 7 p.m.
tomorrow, March 12.
The concert is free, but a love offering will be taken to benefit the
church's Touch of Home ministry, which prays for troops abroad and sends
care packages weekly. The concert marks the ministry's second anniversary.
Many people contribute to the ministry, but the boxes are packaged
primarily by six people: Mary Peterson, Linda Lehrke, Carol Okeson, Lois
Halvorson, Jude Lindquist, Jean McPherson and Connie Frazer.
Packages, letters and cards have been sent to Iraq, Kosovo,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kuwait, Hawaii and Germany. The women have packed
the boxes with items that have included books, snacks, phone cards and
homemade goods. They hope their ministry will remind the troops that
people are grateful for their service.
The women pray over the boxes before making their weekly delivery to the
post office. Postage is $8 to $9 for small boxes and more for larger
boxes. Money raised from the concert will help pay for postage and
related items.
McVicker received a Dove Award for the 1999 song of the year, "My
Deliverer," co-written with Rich Mullins. McVicker also teamed with
Mullins to write "Nothing is Beyond You," which Amy Grant recorded. He
also has recorded with dcTalk, Ray Boltz and has shared the stage with
Mercy Me, Rebecca St. James, and Bebo Norman. The concert will be
recorded to send to troops.
