Newworldson in Concert
A fringe benefit of being involved with Compassion International is access to bands and various musicians. The Christian music industry has long been one of Compassion’s key methods of raising awareness regarding global poverty and injustice. Last week in Canada I had the privilege of sitting down with Geoff Moore, an accomplish Nashville artist, and learning more about his experience adopting from China. One of the newest bands to carry the message of Compassion is Newworldson (I mentioned these guys in a post last year). These guys are on fire. Wednesday night Newworldson treated us to a private concert at this cool little venue in London, Ontario. Fantastic. I checked their web site and found out they played my alma mater (ACU) in March so maybe some of you were able to see them at that performance (Derran, I hope you caught that show!). If not, be sure to check them out here and get into their sound. -Russ

London Ontario… you were about 25 minutes from my hometown of Waterloo. Geoff Moore was one of my faves in the 90’s in Christian music. Great message, even greater guy. He always had time after concerts to talk to my kids in my youth group.

Jim,
You’re exactly right about Geoff… an extremely friendly and generous individual.

I missed that show. I regret it since I usually love your musical discoveries. I guess I didn’t go because most of the shows we get are not really my style. I choked on this one.
