Over 1,800 participants of the Heaven Tunes 2008 music concert worshipped the Lord together in Toronto at the end of Aug.

The director of the event, who is executive director of Kingdom Bookstore, said that because of the joint performances brought by the orchestra and the worship team the music was harmonious and lively; Keren, a gospel music singer, led the worship concert with a pleasing voice, which tightly caught onto the participant’s hearts.

Rev. Evan Chen, senior pastor of EFCLA, delivered the message of the love that Jesus has for the people in this world, allowing the participants to feel their preciousness. Towards the end, he blessed the participants that just as it is in heaven it will be on earth and that everyone can daily sing on top of the Lord’s tree of life. The music concert concluded with over a thousand people wanting for more and longing for next year’s performance of Heaven Tunes.
