KSBJ SPECIAL EVENTS

KSBJ SPECIAL EVENTS (SPECIAL EVENTS) IS A MINISTRY THAT SERVES TO BRING TOGETHER THE BODY OF CHRIST. THE EVENTS WE PRODUCE SERVE AS A PLACE OF WORSHIP WHERE BELIEVERS CAN COME TOGETHER REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION, RACE, POLITICAL AFFILIATION, OR ECONOMIC STATUS IN WORSHIP OF JESUS. THE MINISTRY OF SPECIAL EVENTS NOT ONLY PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO BE MINISTERED TO THROUGH MUSIC FROM THEIR FAVORITE CHRISTIAN ARTISTS, BUT IT IS ALSO OUR GOAL TO INTRODUCE JESUS TO EVERY ATTENDEE AT EVERY EVENT. WHILE THE PRESENTATION OF THE GOSPEL MAY LOOK DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON THE AUDIENCE OR THE PRESENTER, WE SEEK TO PROVIDE A SAFE SPACE TO LEARN ABOUT JESUS FOR BOTH THOSE WANTING TO GROW DEEPER IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE CHOOSING TO ACCEPT HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE KSBJ PRAYER DEPARTMENT, SPECIAL EVENTS PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR EACH EVENT ATTENDEE TO RECEIVE INDIVIDUAL PRAYER ONSITE OR THROUGH A TEXT-TO-PRAY PLATFORM DESIGNED FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT BE READY TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE FACE-TO-FACE. IN COLLABORATION WITH THE KSBJ VOLUNTEER DEPARTMENT, SPECIAL EVENTS ALSO WORKS TO PROVIDE VOLUNTEERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD THROUGH THE CONCERTS AND EVENT WE PRODUCE. WE ALSO PROUDLY WORK WITH AREA MINISTRIES AND ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP HIGHLIGHT THEIR PURPOSE AND PROGRAMS THROUGH OUR MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT INITIATIVE. THROUGH THE WORK THAT WE DO AND AT THE PARTNERS WE WORK WITH, WE ARE FORTUNATE EACH YEAR TO HEAR A NUMBER OF STORIES OF HOW ONE OF OUR EVENTS CHANGED A LIFE OR PROVIDED A BRIGHT SPOT IN AN OTHERWISE BLEAK YEAR. WITH A TOTAL OF 18 EVENTS (5 FREE AND 13 TICKETED) IN 2019, WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE THE MESSAGE OF CHRIST THROUGH BOTH MUSIC AND THE GOSPEL WITH NEARLY 60,000 CONCERT ATTENDEES, VOLUNTEERS, VENDORS, AND EVENT STAFF. FROM THESE EVENTS ALONE, OUR PRAYER PARTNERS RECEIVED ALMOST 2,000 PRAYER REQUESTS AND WE CELEBRATED A REPORTED 14 PEOPLE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES TO JESUS
