However, our bands rarely have the opportunity to "stick around" when we work with military installations.  At basic training locations, the recruits themselves aren't even around very long after the concert.  So we continue to plant seeds, talk with people and let the concert hosts and military chaplains provide the follow-up. 

About five years ago, one of Keynote's Summer Project bands visited Edwards Air Force Base in to perform an evangelistic concert.  The comment cards indicated several decisions for Christ, but the band was on a tight schedule and had to leave shortly after the concert.  Fortunately, we had a base chaplain excited to follow-up with the airmen.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when Chasing Elvis (one of Keynote's current bands) played at Bolling Air Force Base near Washington, D.C. and worked with, you guessed it, the same base chaplain that had been at Edwards Air Force Base!  He told us of a young airman who accepted Christ at that concert five years ago.  Chaplain McIntosh continued to disciple the airman and eventually baptized him, kept track of him in his new marriage, and recently performed the baby dedication for their new daughter.  These two men continue to connect and the airmen is still walking with God and leading his family to walk closely with God as well.

"Life-Change"... another soul transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of His beloved Son!  

Keynote artists hit the road this week for a busy season of outreach concerts and a number of those concerts will take place on military installations.  We also have international outreaches starting again in September - stay tuned for more information in our next update.   

Thanks again for your interest in Keynote's ministry - We're grateful for your partnership!
