United Methodist will present 'Carpenter's Tools' in
concert tonight Carpenter's Tools International, a contemporary Christian music group, will appear in concert on Wednesday, Nov. 3, at 6:30 p.m. at Peachtree City United Methodist Church. From Argentina to Zimbabwe, Carpenter's Tools has been sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through music with young people and the young at heart, a spokesperson said. Since 1982, the group has ministered in more than 40 countries with a total estimated audience of more than a million high school students and young people. The goal of Carpenter's Tools is to reach 50 to 100 million students in the next 20 years by recruiting, training and escorting teams overseas on missions tours, the spokesperson said. Stateside performances include versatile styles of music enjoyed by people of all ages, while overseas performances offer a repertoire of upbeat contemporary Christian music to reach young people in mostly public high school assemblies and public youth rallies. We have found that music is an international language that young people all over the world understand, said Dave Lien, executive director of the group. Many times we have been able to bring the gospel through music to places where a preacher could never preach, but a song may be sung. A freewill offering will be taken. Peachtree City United Methodist Church is located on the corner of Windgate Road and Peachtree Parkway. For more information, contact Rev. Betsy Haas at 770-487-6499. |
